“I was bullied, as nine out of ten children are, and I want to be a role model,” says Jessie J in the behind-the-scenes footage of her bully-defying “Who’s Laughing Now” video. Well, she can tick that off her To Do list — the Brit singer was honored with the title of Best Role Model in Pop Music, as voted by music fans on CapitalFM. (We’re sure there was some heavy competition, too, since every other song on the radio is about self-empowerment and ignoring your haters.) Watch the video’s behind-the-scenes below — and find out why there was no major dance break in the clip.
As it turns out, Jessie — who plays various roles in the video — had a broken foot during the length of the shoot. Still, the show must go on! Good for her there were plenty of places to sit on set.
