@ 14 I know right, but hey sometimes you gotta let them know. I like her eagle ring. LL needs a new look though, I’m sorta over what he constantly gives.

Must be for the people who keep talking about the way she looks. I feel you Estelle, people are used to non-conventional beauty which is you. These people are used to cookie cutter, mainstream acceptable looking b****es, thats why they hate. Girl do your thing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder just because some people thinks she’s beautiful doesn’t mean they are wrong or anything just like a lot of people think all these other females singers are pretty and others don’t it don’t mean they are wrong!!!

What does it matter if she’s not trying to look whiter , show some ass, and have some horse weave? She doesn’t have too “CAUSE SHE HAS TALENT , she’s a real artist .. it’s a shame that we can’t celebrate real difference … no copy cat, no wanna be , no bitter, no MUSIC ROBOT …The Industry been stuck for years with those Clones trying to reinvented “sluttyness” B, C, R, PCD, L GG .. do I need to say more… I guess that’s why we had to get her all the way back from London to have a little flavor … America you need to UNFOLD!!!

MR LL Baby… you so handsome.But why have that big microphone tatto plastered on your arm… Very Creative… But your too cute for that!!

I wish her luck, but I don’t get her music. Well, I’ve only heard ‘American Boy.’ And that wouldn’t have been a hit if Kanye wasn’t on there.

Its funny when people talk about Beyonce then she has haters and everyone else agrees but when people talk about Estelle and people say she has haters and everyone is like ‘bish please’. You all are too damn double standard for me. People can have haters whether they are broke, rich, conventional looking or not. If you talk about her and she has done nothing to you, YOU ARE HATIN’. Same rule applies for everybody. She isnt the standard looking type but neither are ALOT of people up in here.

@42 I agree!!! People act like Beyonce is the only one with haters!!! You don’t have to be typical looking, rocking weave, shaking your butt, be rich, take off your clothes and release albums every year to have haters regular people walking down the street have haters, people in school or at their jobs have haters!!! EVERYBODY HAS HATERS!!!

Call me crazy, but why would “haters” be at her concert? If I had attended this concert I’d feel disrespected. Don’t have me paying good money to see you perform only to get “tha bird” in return…

I need that EAGLE RING IN MY LIFE Like ASAP.. Estelle isn’t your typical beauty, but I’m GLAD that she isn’t, she’s BEYOND typical.. and if you see her in concert, you’ll find that she’s sooo darn cool.
There are PLENTY ppl checkin her swagg and then hating her.. I don’t even understand where all this hate is coming from! The bish is FLYYY, confident and ALWAYS has a positive message.. What you u guys doing in YOUR LIVES.. yeah.. haters until you start doing anything nearly as wonderful (like supporting AIDS research with clothing that you design, like Estelle) check yourself at the door now please…
As for her doing a duet w/ R Kelly.. mention of that man’s name alone makes me throw up in my mouth a lil bit.. sooo i’mma say pass on that one.. maybe anthony hamilton?

Flipping the crowd the finger. What a degenerate thing for a performer to do. No class whatsoever. These degenerate caribbeans and their descendants should NOT be given too much money and power. They R bringing black culture to a new low. Kanye is acting out since he been hanging with her. Seems she’ll be influencing John Legend next. Black american performers know that u don’t stoop that low and call yourself a professional. They are paid a LOT OF MONEY to be professional at all times.

I WAS THEREEEE…hot concert…Estelle sounds great live and WAS NOT flipping the bird at the crowd. She was performing a song dedicated to bad ex-boyfriends and that was part of the act and might I add, looked great doing so. LL shut the place down too. Queens Stand Up!
…it’s funny how people jump to conclusions, so if you don’t know now you know.
Shout out to my man EP for the best birthday present ever, the concert was hot!

I was at the concert also! Estelle is AMAZING live! If you haven’t seen her live then you are missing out! Also, she was not flipping the bird to the crowd she was talking to the women and encouraging us by telling us about this guy who did her wrong and those middle fingers were for him!
Also, LL Cool J is still sexy! He made me scream so hard, I’m mad I didnt catch one of those roses.
