As a sista from the States, I love that more British acts are singing, rapping, etc. in their native accents... Lily Allen is a Brit & it's actually one of the reasons I fell in love with her as an artist... Variety is the spice of life, folks. Embrace that shit! 😉
@YoungDymisty Ummm...I wouldn't say that she's terribly popular over here, but I know I'm not the ONLY fan she has. Lol! I love her, tho... Been a fan from the beginning. She's a unique talent.
@@OddWomanOut_Pi81 bless you, yeah for some reason people would always tell me I sounded like her when I sang lol 😅 which is funny because I also used to have people telling me I looked like Mary j blige too I couldn't see it with any of them 😂.

@YoungDymisty Reeeeally? Hmmm, interesting... I'll tell u, these types of stories don't surprise me much. They're ppl, ya know, and fame... Well, doesn't go down smoothly for some, if that makes any sense. I know she also had issues with substance abuse as well, soooo... Could've been the drugs talking? 🤷🏾♀️ So many of these artists are pursuing "the art" not "the fame", but they get thrust into it not ever having wanted it in the first place and they react in kind. I tell u, I'm already an odd duck as a "nobody". Fame would gut me. Smh. 😣
I was actually on the same plane as her when she went to record American Boy, she’s so nice and signed some papers for me! Since then I’ve always listened to American Boy and felt special about that song ❤️
I like this girl. It was very polite of her to wait for Kanye to leave the restaurant. It was also very spunky for her to introduce her self. Kudos to Estelle.
So wait a minute. Dark-skinned people with prominent African features can only go so far in the music industry? What of their magnificent voices? And what a sick world we live in. Estelle is very beautiful and talented. SMH.
There is no such thing as African features ..this is just a stereotype ..African features have a wide range ...as do African complexions ..there are millions of Africans who look like Beyoncé and other lighter skinned sister on the continent ..and no..they are not mixed ...you need to travel..the dark skinned phenotype is always presented wrongfully as the only African phenotype Pisses me off when people say that
@@stormship1647 Slaves who ended up in the Americas, Europe, the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, the Gambia, Liberia etc were dark-skinned West Africans, not Somalis, Ethiopians, Egyptians, etc.

I played “American Boy” out! Such a good/timeless song. I wish she had more success and I love seeing her pop up with acting cameos! She’s truly talented.
I absolutely adore Estelle I call her Queen. I got to see her live in Charlotte years ago and fell in love with her even more from that moment. Her singing is mesmerizing and her rap skills are amazing! There are two versions of these What Happened to Estelle videos circulating on You Tube I loved this version so much better you covered everything in the same amount of time but included many more details than the other version. Thanks for honoring Queen! We love Estelle!!
Great video! I love Estelle. She's amazing period!!! The music industry is rigged. Artists will find a way to make themselves be heard. Estelle is a BEAUTIFUL woman too period!!! I'm glad this Queen is still making music for herself and her fans. ♥️👑
"Her skin was" Not really, I mean look at Lauren Hill, she blew up in the mid-late 90s, was on all kind of magazine covers and ironically, she chose to walk away from it all for awhile. I just think Estelle, like Corrine Bailey Rae who's also British (& light skin) wasn't promoted enough or was just too much competition (RiRi, Bey, Mary J, Keys) coming from other artist during that time. As far as her accent, yeah that's BS, Americans always love good music from British artists, regardless of the accent. If their "accent" was an issue, then Elton John, Adele, Seal, Sting, my girl Sade and others, wouldn't be as big, famous like they still are in the states.
African-Americans don't embrace the UK accent from a Black British person - when it comes from a white person, they love it. Ed Sheeran (for example) raps in his music and he SELLS & charts well in the states! I have yet to see a Black Brit embraced in the same way.
@@stacksondeckldn4628 You sound ignorant AF. Again one word: SADE. What you just stated is bull$hit, as if though you can read every African American on the damn planet, their minds.
@@MrJuly1990ish SADE is a lightskin, biracial SINGER - bad example - Americans will always embrace lightskin & White UK artists, better than darkskin Black British singers/rappers. American audiences overall are not open-minded enough to embrace a "foreign sounding rapper", especially from a darkskin Black British person - if she was lightskin (like Stefflon Don) she may have stood a better chance. Estelle was forced to change her music style to singing over rapping, once she hit the states (even though she started out mainly as a rapper when she first came out in the UK) - because again, "African-Americans don't embrace the English accent from a Black British person" (my point still stands) - biracial/white UK artists seem to have better longevity in the states & are more accepted.
Loved Estelle.. I still listen to “Thank you”. The music industry is no joke though. As an female artist of color, you have to be a jack of all trades to survive...
British soul stars always struggle with exception of Sade who is very unique. America never takes our soul stars seriously and we always think US soul singers are better.
@Michele Thomas Sade broke through as a UK artists to the US charts not that she is broke financially. Her royalties and modest living should see her through til she dies!
Truly ahead of her time. She could also spit bars and rhymes as a rapper. Before being the singer of ‘American Boy, her actual debut single in the UK was l ‘1980’ and it was a rap song. She would’ve been as big as Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat today!
I stumbled upon her album accidentally while waiting for a flight. I had no clue who she was, but after seeing the list of names featured on the back of the CD, I had to buy it. Myself, being a Canadian, seeing Kardinal's name on a track and also being a very interesting rapper, I was curious. Totally worth it especially at airport prices! Still bump Shine to this day.
Love singing American Boy, loved that collab. She has a varied choice in music, like myself. She looks like someone close to me. We need all our 80/90/2000s UK (and USA) artists back, and new and fresh up-and-comers. We really did give USA a run for their money in the music arena. We were smashing it, just in a different way, with a more British vibe. Another artist that knew what she was doing, mixing and mingling the tunes. Nice one, would love to see her perform again. If she wants to duet, we can do that too. Peace
I searched for where is Estelle now and this video came up. I love her music and her style. She is so beautiful and, very classy. She is a great singer and, I love her speaking voice and accent.
This was indeed an interesting short, musical biography of Estelle. I never really got into her music at all, I know she has a very strong British accent when/while singing and talking. However, this again was an interesting segment to watch nonetheless...@I💖The90's thank you for this!😊 P.S. Can you please do the R&B Groups of Blackstreet & Next, please and thank you?!😀💖
A couple years ago, I was at my gym’s locker room getting ready for a workout when I heard a super catchy song being played over the speakers but I didn’t know who the artist was or what the song was. After doing a quick search based on the lyrics in the chorus, that song turned out to be American Boy. It was all I listened to for the rest of the month and I still enjoy it to this day.
Threw me for a loop when I heard 'American audiences were turned off by her British accent.' Wait - what? I LOVE that British dialect. I pay attention even closer.
People online just make sh t up with absolutely no proof or reputable accurate polling to back it up with. They just go with emotion or how they personally think is the reason for something. smh Now for myself when I saw blk British ppl, 90's and early 2000's, I did think it was exotic but if the music was good sounding to me I was on board. Monie love, Return of the Mack, Back to life, Craig David etc
@@wataki2 no, I think the narrator is actually correct. British rap still hasn’t made a huge breakthrough in the US market because ppl, including myself, don’t like how their accent sound while rapping. It’s nice when they’re singing, but it sounds like they have food in their mouth, and it’s hard to understand what they’re saying. Latino rappers have made a bigger impact in the US than any British rap artist.
I love Estelle! She has such a great voice. I love her solo stuff and her collabs with Kidz in the Hall and Tyler the Creator. Thank You is still one of my favorites.

When I was working with kids we listened to Stronger Than You all the time and I grew to love that song a lot. One of my babies was feeling bad about her Blackness and so I showed her the MV and she was blown away that a Black woman sang her favorite song. 🥰
Love your branching out! Whatever happened to: Terri Walker, Shola Ama, Jamelia and Kele LeRoc could be an interesting continuation to your UK/European videos.
Its crazy how white singers get so much praise for the talent that regular everyday black people have. There are soooo many talented black people who get pushed aside when a white person can carry a tune.
So happy for Estelle, so many black artist who didn't make it in the UK due to racism made it big in the USA i.e Estelle, Idris Elba, good for them, way to go! take note up and coming artist. The USA has its problems but you have more people in the US that looks like us that will make it happen for you
@@Saturndragonfly Chrisette was never as popular as Wayne or Kanye. She had not crossed over to the mainstream and was actually in a downturn in her career when she decided to perform for Trump. She effectively alienated her main fanbase(Black women) while Wayne and Kanye have a more diverse set of fans(ie non black folks) not willing to stop supporting them.

@@brittneybutler2491 Adina Howard kinda messed things up for herself in the industry when she was fighting over Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men while he was dating Brandy. An executive told her not to mess with thg him and she had some choice words for that executive and wondered why her projects were permanently shelved at that record label.👀👀👀👀👀👀 That was revealed on the t.v. show Unsung when they featured her.
Damn, I miss her. I loved her song American Boy. I always wondered what happened to her too. Seems like creating your own record label is career suicide sometimes lol. So many people I loved created their own then faded away.
That American Boy single pulled her out of the shadows. But the song Thank You is her best. And the cameo with De La Soul (Memories Of...) is outstanding.
Love Estelle! She was big over here in RnB circles before working with Kanye and is still well thought of over here! I always wondered why she commercialised and stopped rapping! 😂😂 I’m just shook that I came here to shoot you down and tell you Mark Ronson was English....then I googled it....lolololol 🤦♂️
A Black “British/UK” accent being a turn off to Black Americans??? I definitely don’t feel that way. I celebrate the music of ALL my Black people all over this globe. Always been a fan of Estelle and other UK artist such as Lady Leshur, Che Lingo, Dionne Bromfield, Sampa the Great (*edit* she’s based in Australia, by way of Zambia), etc. But I stalk the hell out of UA-cam for good music 🎶 Love this series by the way!

I saw her performance a few times she puts on a great show. Very talented
Can do a video about what happened to chrisette michele ?
trump and r&b divas...the end
@@beeoliver4636 🤣🤣😂😂Right!! #thatpart 💯🎯 The End!!
She got black balled after she performed at Trumps annarguation.
@Michele Thomas but why? Kanye's career is not over. Lil Wayne career is not over
@@Saturndragonfly Chrisette was never as popular as Wayne or Kanye. She had not crossed over to the mainstream and was actually in a downturn in her career when she decided to perform for Trump. She effectively alienated her main fanbase(Black women) while Wayne and Kanye have a more diverse set of fans(ie non black folks) not willing to stop supporting them.
Estelle is super talented. I remember her song “1980”. Real banger
Beautiful Sister. Looks like a model.
estelle is so talented and beautiful
Can you do one on Cleopatra Coming At Ya
Oh my...i remember those ladies!
One of these channels did one on them.
There is something about Estelle that brings out a powerful emotional feeling in me ...I can't explain what it is ...God bless her tho
I get so sick of the color shit and speaking voice love it
It’s always good to be yourself. Never allow the industry to change who you are.
i LOVE estelle ahhhh
i still listen too her... all her songs. everyday. since i was 12.
my favorite is speak ya mind.
and then i watched steven universe, and was like w h a t? that’s estelle

Can you please do one on Raphel Sadik, Music Soulchild or Adina Howard..!!
@Dashia James This is a really good set list for short bios on these Artist...great idea!👍👍👍
@@brittneybutler2491: Thanks..!!
What About Eamon
@@brittneybutler2491 Adina Howard kinda messed things up for herself in the industry when she was fighting over Wanya Morris from Boyz II Men while he was dating Brandy. An executive told her not to mess with thg him and she had some choice words for that executive and wondered why her projects were permanently shelved at that record label.👀👀👀👀👀👀 That was revealed on the t.v. show Unsung when they featured her.
@@HONEY4112002 Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that, that is something else and sad.😰😲😓😟
she has multiple talents cartoon voice overs and rapper her bars are untouched.
I loved American Boy, such a great song! I also loved her as Garnet on Steven Universe
Alot of UK artists don't have popularity in America some do but not alot they huge over in the UK
I will always remember her “1980” song
I love Estelle. I think she’s phenomenal. I’d like to see one on Heather Headley too!
3stelle has a whole new fan base These kids know her as Garnet from Steven universe
Damn, I miss her. I loved her song American Boy. I always wondered what happened to her too. Seems like creating your own record label is career suicide sometimes lol. So many people I loved created their own then faded away.
That American Boy single pulled her out of the shadows. But the song Thank You is her best. And the cameo with De La Soul (Memories Of...) is outstanding.
Good stuff as always. Whatever happened to Yvette Michelle?
Lover’s Rock was such a great album that is not talked about a lot
So underrated
Love Estelle! She was big over here in RnB circles before working with Kanye and is still well thought of over here! I always wondered why she commercialised and stopped rapping! 😂😂 I’m just shook that I came here to shoot you down and tell you Mark Ronson was English....then I googled it....lolololol 🤦♂️
Thank you is my all time favorite. It helped me get over my ex quickly to 🤭
A Black “British/UK” accent being a turn off to Black Americans??? I definitely don’t feel that way. I celebrate the music of ALL my Black people all over this globe. Always been a fan of Estelle and other UK artist such as Lady Leshur, Che Lingo, Dionne Bromfield, Sampa the Great (*edit* she’s based in Australia, by way of Zambia), etc. But I stalk the hell out of UA-cam for good music 🎶 Love this series by the way! I’ve been binging since 4pm 😃😄👩🏾💻
Love her 💖
As well as her voice over for Steven Universe 🦋
Her song (Better than you) is a ringtone in my phone forever🎶💓
LOL, literally nothing happened to her. She is still making great music, expanding her talents.
I love her music and her work as the voice of Garnet!
Take me on a trip id like to go some day 💃🏿
You should do one on the boys, another bad Creation, Cleopatra the female group, Kut Klose.
Kut Klose is back home in Alabama G. Lol. At least one of them is I know.
Got that Ester Phillips thang. My Mama loved Ester, miss u baby.Junkie walking thru the twilight.
