The 'Who You Are' singer says the 'You Da One' singer is also "lovely" in person.

Jessie J has revealed that Rihanna is still one of her favourite pop artists right now.

The 'Domino' singer, who is currently serving as a vocal coach on BBC One talent show The Voice UK, says she is still a huge fan of the 'Talk That Talk' star.

"Still Rihanna. She's always up there," Jessie told More! Magazine this month. "I love her swagger."

"I've met her a few times, she's really lovely and so beautiful in real life."

While Jessie admitted she had been slightly "starstruck" when meeting the 'We Found Love' singer for the first time, she made a conscious effort to treat Rihanna just like any other person.

She added: "I don't like it when people treat me like the Queen so I don't want to do it around anyone else, because I know how that feels."

Jessie J celebrated her 24^th birthday yesterday (27^th March) and thanked her "amazing" friends late last night for helping her celebrate.

The Voice UK continues this Saturday and stars a panel featuring Jessie, Sir Tom Jones, Danny O'Donoghue and will.i.am.
