[quote comment="110399"]Love the Estelle track and vid. BIGGUP TO ALL THE JAMAICAN MASSIVES!! However, she can't be making that much money off this track seeing that she stole the melody from the original "Substitute Lover" and that "Faith" song by George Michael. Still hot though...[/quote] "stole" more like sampled or borrowed just like everyone else does in the music industry honey, and it's only considered stealing when you don't get permission legally to use someone else's song, music or likeness there of, with that being said Estelle get's my vote.

ESTELLE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT. I dig that girl to the fullest, her style is refreshing. I'm feeling a lot of her singles so I'm gonna have to cop that album now.
