imagine it was the other way round and someone white says there is no white people in the music industry and the so called 'black music' is taking over the british music industry.
sounds a bit more racist eh?

that's not true, have you looked at your mum?
Lot of truth in her ... ( 1 month ago by mahoneko321)
Lot of truth in her comments, the UK music industry is sick poisoned by far too much poppy crap and reality shows like x-factor. Mind you its the public who buy all that crap so we can only blame them.

estelle is unattractive. but her style and swagger makes up for it. i give a estelle an 8.
Estelle is very ... ( 1 month ago by ebaandegusi)
Estelle is very right...a lot of talented black artists have gone to the states to seek success in their music. The British seem to glorify pop, appearance and white people singing soul music who has done nothing but imitate and steal our sense of style and singing style to promote theirs. I have come across loads of talented black musicians here in UK and it goes to waste.

it would have been nice to hear HER comment.
estelle is great ... ( 1 month ago by shawry86)
estelle is great but she cant slag of british soul..its nothing to do with colour..the music she makes now is very american influenced! and people like duffy are cleary influenced by northen soul..which is a black sound but a very british (black/white) movement...it angers me how alot of black british youth think that there culture is connected to black american culture..and estelle is no different..
she couldnt do ... ( 1 month ago by shawry86)
she couldnt do sumin really black british with her voice but shes to influenced by american rnb which is pretty shit atm! she should sing some oldschool ska tracks her voice would suit that well!
Some truth in what ... ( 1 month ago by CuntThunder)
Some truth in what she's said but then again, there's hardly any black people in Britain. if anything blacks are over-represented. It's only 1% of Britain is black. Londoners in general don't realise this
Black music is more popular in the US because blacks are over 10% of the population there.
Yes black people do make better soul singers but the honkies (I'm white so that's allowed) these days make more traditional soul tunes and many whites don't want a Kanye West verse tagged on their songs

whats wrong with this ugly black woman>oh damn wtf.has the world gone mad>?what does she mean...hmn fuck estelle u embarrass black people,.
Firstly why couldnt ... ( 3 weeks ago by kawaii8707)
Firstly why couldnt itn get a quote from estelle instead of using a reporter to paraphrase her words? Thats biased news reporting
Realistically 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
People always wanna ... ( 2 weeks ago by shithole1978)
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.

Well I hope she fucking stays in the USA!! She's absolute trash!
She is pissed at ... ( 1 week ago by scoop909)
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
Have you been out ... ( 1 week ago by scoop909)
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
Real musicians, ... ( 1 week ago by scoop909)
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
In the same tone ... ( 1 week ago by scoop909)
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.
