In this Letter, we analyze the dipole-dipole correlations obtained from the molecular dynamics simulations for strongly and weakly polar model liquids. As a result, we find that the cross-correlations' contribution to the system's total dipole moment correlation function, which is directly measured in the dielectric spectroscopy experiment, is negligible for weakly polar liquids. In contrast, the cross-correlations' term dominates over the self-correlations' term for the examined strongly polar liquid. Consequently, our studies strongly support the interpretation of the dielectric spectra nature of glass-forming liquids recently proposed by Pabst et al.
