Dear Jessie

[edit]
  • ... that American singer Madonna appeared only as an animated fairy, in the music video for her song "Dear Jessie"?

  • I had a look at the Google Books preview of the book which is cited as the reference for the hook (The Madonna Companion: Two Decades of Commentary by Metz & Benson). The only mention I can find is on a footnote for the list of videos, and all it says is "Madonna does not appear in the video." Is there another reference (in that book or another) which explicitly states that the fairy is modelled on Madonna? (I think it's fairly obvious that she is, but I'd prefer the reference was really clear as that's the basis for the hook). --Canley (talk) 05:25, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
    • Hello Canley. Thanks for reviewing this nomination. I'm afraid the mistake is mine. This is the link which should have been at the place of the book reference. It's my mistake and I have corrected it. Please take a look again? — Legolas (talk2me) 06:46, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Cool, certainly long enough, 5x expansion on December 4, hook reference from Spinner confirmed, thanks for fixing it. --Canley (talk) 11:11, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
