@MELLY B, MAYBE THE REASON THAT ADELLLE, AMY, DUFFY & JOSS HAD AN EASYER TIME GETTING SIGNED IN THE US IS BECAUSE THEY MAKE GOOD MUSIC? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ESTELLE HAD ANYTHING RESEMBLING A MINOR HIT? ALL SHE DOES IS TRASH PEOPLE MORE SUCCESSFUL AND BLAME THE COLOUR OF HER SKIN. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BLACK OR MIXED RACE GIRLS DOING GREAT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY...
