I take my hat off 2 Estelle, what hasn't she done!? Signed on John Legends label, released smash hit 'American Boy', done colabo's with Kanye as well as other BIG names.Wait a minute [just a touch] was my stand out track from 'shine' BIG!I expect Estelle's stock to keep rising!e

lots of hype before the release about kanye and john legend but she still delivered a quality album from start to finish. plus she didnt sell out or become a fake yank, kept it original and different so shes deffo 'kicked **** to the floor'
trisha
she only got to number 1 cause Kanye West was on the track. None of her other singles have been that successful.

Respect to Rampage, but they are way off choosing T-pain.... Now Seani B was "on da money" when he suggested Mavado. Special, on the rock, we need Barak, don't worry .... to name just a few of his massive 08 bangers!!!!The UK artists and T-Wayne were good choices.
