Synopsis

Rollergirl performs "Dear Jessie" in a brightly lit dance club populated by skaters and partygoers. Wearing her signature roller skates, she moves through the crowd while the video alternates between choreographed skating, close-ups, and energetic club scenes. The presentation turns the song's childlike, fantasy-inspired refrain into a late-1990s Eurodance spectacle, with the emphasis placed on movement, colorful nightlife, and Rollergirl's performance persona.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Dear Jessie" was Rollergirl's debut single and was released in 1999 as the lead single from her first album, "Now I'm Singin'... And the Party Keeps On Rollin'".

• The track uses the chorus of Madonna's 1989 song "Dear Jessie", written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard, but places it inside a new Eurodance production.

• Alex Christensen, known for his work with U96, produced Rollergirl's version.

• The original video is notable for featuring Julie Pecquet as Rollergirl rather than Nicole Safft, the singer behind the project's vocal performance. Safft initially preferred to remain out of the public spotlight.

• Roller skates are central to the video's identity, linking the performance directly to the Rollergirl stage name and helping establish the project's visual image.

• "Dear Jessie" reached No. 2 in Denmark and No. 10 in Norway, while also becoming associated with the European techno and dance-pop scene of the period.
