true that...estelle don't give two fucks about what u say to her about her looks etc. The girl has talent and she does sing true RnB music. All those Amy winehouse and Duffy...whatever...who do you think makes them sing the why they do now. For those who are not enlightened...yes black music;gospel, soul, jazzzzz. Yes we make it better. So my dear Estelle you keep doing the good work

In the same tone there are loads of white musicians not getting signed up due to the shit factor and other manufactured processes. Northern soul is a white/black movement, the same as ska music. it is a dual process influenced by both cultures.

Real musicians, ones that do it for nothing or passion, do not have race arguments, we all play together share music and ideas & work together for the good of the music, for the love of the music. You like a song, you sing along. if that song is not within your race or culture should you not be singing it? Of course you should, music is a feeling & this political bullshit about white people 'stealing' style is yet another excuse for racist banter, implying a weighty chip on people's shoulder

Have you been out in a city & seen the massive amount of musicians that are truly truly talented & never get a shot at even the small time let alone the big time? If the music industry was as racist as she portrays believe me Estelle being the mediocre performer she is would not get anywhere!Im a musician & ive been trying to get my music signed up, as well as working to get local bands & friends signed up. It doesnt happen, its nothing to do with race or talent,simply how marketable you are

She is pissed at the fact she isnt doing as well as Amy winehouse and other artists like her. If she actually did REAL R&B not this modern day label of R&B then maybe she would be taken seriously. the true R&B doesnt exist and she needs to wake up at the watering down of her own music by her own actions!As for your comment shithole regarding why is not one uk black artist on the worlds stage

Well I hope she fucking stays in the USA!! She's absolute trash!

People always wanna get mad when the truth is told. Not taking anything away from Amy Winehouse, i love her music but you mean to tell me with all the millions of black people living in the uk not one is on the world stage. UK stand up you are giving are artist away you fools.

Firstly why couldnt itn get a quote from estelle instead of using a reporter to paraphrase her words? Thats biased news reportingRealistically how many british artists are successful? I can name maybe four including estelle! Had estelle not gone to the states she would be nowhere right now. The british music industry is racist, thats a fact. But whether duffy or adele are soul singers thats down to opinion. Remember this same media claimd joss stone was the white Aretha Franklin? puhlease |
