I’m excited for her new album. Yeeeea, Estelle!
Yes this looks like another hit,.
LLFS!
OMG ESTELLE LOOKS LIKE A COOOOOOONNNN
with the black face and pink/red lipstick LMAO
YAS ESTELLE
OH LAWD I CAN SEE THIS SONG AND VIDEO BEING A HUGE HIT AMONG THE GAYS AND TRANSVESTITE CLUBS….
oooooh i like the song already, cant wait till it hits the radio
This sounds like some Baltimore Club ish! LOVE IT!!!
Oooooh, this is going to be a banger in the dance classes! I can see the vogueing already. Damn! And I have to big up the Toronto Jamaican Massive Kardinal Offishall!
wow musically women performers are fucked. now if ur not doing all this crazy bad girl freak shit like gaga ur not gonna get play. yea ur women are fucked
she looks uglier than ever, but love her songs
Estelle is REAL STUPID for allowing herself to be bufooned up with a BLACKED up face and BIG RED lips…does she not know of the racist imagery related to this. Wow, I guess it just goes to show how little creative control some musicians have over their image.
So she’s talking about sex and selling sex now. EPIC FAIL!!
I stopped liking her the minute she talked sh!t about my girl Rihanna. This b!tch is fugly and she looks like E.T. Go ahead and phone home Estelle. Nobody is checking for you.
Ewwwwww no ma’am.
ERROR!
LARD GOD! look what just fell out of somebody’s TOOL box!
I admit it, I was prejudiced towards Estelle…… I thought she had sense, but now I know I was quite wrong. not only is Estelle a pathetic imbecile for having evidently gone with the wind, trailing way behind the likes of (the slightly genuine) Ri Ri & Ga Ga, Estelle has officially elected to go on the register of a Waste Gyal of the Month. Estelle is sure to be a hot contender for the Waste Gyal of the Year trophy (shaped like a smelly dustbin/trash can, of course)
Interesting that Estelle thinks she’s sexy, I wonder how many agree. Nether the less, It don’t matter coz Estelle thinks she’s sexy and she reckons she’s a freak.
If I could ask miss estelle one question it would be this:
‘MISS ESTELLE, DO YOU THINK YOU’VE BROKEN THE AMERICAN MUSIC INDUSTRY OR HAS THE AMERICAN MUSIC INDUSTRY BROKEN YOU ?’
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at- A g e m i n g le @ c.o..m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.
Ooh lawd, the hate……. smh
ESTELLE HAS A FEW NICE SONGS AND ALL, BUT IM SORRY SHE IS UGLY AS HELL WITHOUT THE BLACK MESS ON HER FACE.
Missey Elliot did a lot of this back in the day. The black face and red lips, can’t get with that..Besides Estelle has come along way with her dental work….Now we know why she has not hit big on this side of the pond…..It’s all fun and games till it hits the net…
WORK IT ESTELLE’S!!!!!!!

@ Wow and XXX: Rihanna did NOT invent the green screen. In fact, it wasn’t even Rih’s idea. It was the video directors idea. And until you see what Estelle’s video director puts up ON that green screen, then you shouldn’t assume that Estelle’s biting off of anything.
Also, there’s a lot of hate on this board. That must be because the featured artist is darker than a brown paper bag. “Negros” don’t like their artists being to dark…we’re a very shallow people.
I think Estelle is awesome. She seems witty, confident and creative…she’s an artist and not a puppet or a model (i.e. Rihanna) Now, if you don’t like her music, that’s one thing. But to bring her down because you don’t like the way she looks…EPIC FAIL.
I actually love the song and the video concept from what i saw. I do not see why people feel the need to defame someone else’s work simply because they dont like it. If you dont like it, i dont see a need to comment on it. I also am not getting how people say everyone is “swaggerjacking” Rihanna. When she came out she was this sunny ”island girl’ then all of sudden shes edgy and ”different”. Estelle came out with a different sound and look. Thats all im saying=)
@JUNK 100% cosign Rihanna didnt invent anything. She merely popularized it.Now, i do like what Rihanna wears, but people do not seem to realize that she has a team of stylists that put her looks together. She is therefore not original and merely an end product. And before all her stans say im ”hating” i am actually a big Rihanna fan myself. But facts are facts=)
ummmmm NO!
I’d like to share my experience with you. My friend met a hot girl on Richmeeting.com ——and recommended to me last week! I tried and it did work. I met a beautiful girl there and had a lot fun with her. Good luck for you all!
I like the song , But This is rih all the way i am looking at the Video and saying to myself , does she want to be Rih ? ? ? ?
Estelle also did the whole behind-the-scenes look ., she copied rih , that’s so TACKY , but i like her voice .
80% of you are incredibly stupid*.
That is all.
*(Excluding Junk and others like him/her.)
umm people have been doing green screens for YEARS. it allows them to have add certain special effects
@Wow so estelle is copying riri by doing a green screen (a staple in special effect music videos) but riri didn’t copy M.I.A. “boyz” when she did the exact same background visuals?? try again
i wanna see how this turns out but i have to say that the blackface isn’t cute at all. if she did all black it would’ve been fine (martina topley-bird in “anything”) but the red lips remind me too much of the racist coon image
“This b!tch is fugly and she looks like E.T.”
At least she doesn’t have E.T.’s forehead like your girl does…
lol @ people arguing about Rihanna in every post when clearly this has nothin to do with her. Some people stand up for the girl like thats ur homie. I personally like alot of the artist out including Rihanna. But Plz do some research and check out a few artist like Grace Jones, Diana Ross, David Bowie, etc.
Artist are always inspired by someone or something not just Rihanna.
I’m not usually a fan of moderation, but CL, can ya please moderate all comments that have “Rihanna” or “Rih” on any posts that don’t relate to them? I’m just saying…
The funny thing is that all u that call estelle ugly/ fugly w/e is that she doesnt care… she loves herself and is real…..She isnt trying to steal fashion from rih/bey/gaga..if you follow british/european fashion you would know that thats where the real high fashion concepts came from.. and if i remember correctly when she came out she was wearing that shit… look at her first video folks.. the song is cool.. i don t see it being a big banga.. but trust one thing u can never say is this bitch isnt real.. cause she speaks her mind and doesnt give a shit aboutthe haters…..
Estelle took all that time to explain the meaning behind “FreaK” but couldn’t explain why she’s wearing black face nor what the theme of this mess is suppose to be? The song is ok. I wish Estelle would stick with material that compliments her vocals.

most of you people are stupid…SERIOUSLY! stop talking about rihanna in this post! Rihanna is not original so I don’t understand how estelle can be “stealing” her ideas ….smh! some of you people need to educate yourself before assuming such nonsense!
Okaaay Estelle. This song is def gonna be a HIT. (um…hardly doubt Estelle’s trying to be Rihanna folks. That’s actually laughable. LOL)
WHY DOES RIHANNA HAVE TO B MENTIONED WITH EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????? IF THERE WAS A POST ON GLOBAL WARMING YALL WOULD B TALKIN ABOUT RIHANNA.
LOVE IT ESTELLE ALTHOUGH 1 OF THE LOOKS WAS JUST BEGGING FOR RACIST COMMENTS!
Estelle aint trynna be know damn Rihanna. I like Rihanna and Estelle, if you ask me yall are some fukn haters whoever saying Estelle trying to be Rihanna. And FYI Estelle never said anything about Rihanna. Just to let yall know they are friends and ain’t caring about the fake ass twitter talk!!!
She looks a hot mess. Lord, that black face child… and them lips.. NO! Song doesn’t sound all that good neither. I used to like her. Smh…
LOVES ME SOME ESTELLE !!! She does her own thing.
Go on Estelle!! I love the Black make up with all the hate she gets from people for her looks. Love her confidence!!!!
WTF at the crazy Rihanna worshipers on here! You guys are ridiculous! I don’t see anything that resembles any of Rihanna’s music videos in Estelle’s “Freak” music video! Estelle has always been rockin high fashion and is now being more creative. I don’t think that she’s doing it because she wants to be like Rihanna and Lady Gaga, but I do think that she is being more flashy and “exotic” this time around because that is what is making music stars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga famous… see, there’s a difference. I really like the beat of the song, it does remind me of Baltimore Club music, however, I am sick and tired of female musicians turning to sex and being fierce or edgy. She said that the video was more about art than being different, but she makes no sense because being different in music videos now-a-days is all about “ART.” I wonder when this fierce, edgy, high fashion, dare to be different bs is going to end. It’s tired and pathetic. It’s just another gimmick.
Estelle looks HOT at 0.46. I love that look on her. And this video is going to be a hit, it’s just got that potential. Plus it has lyrics from Soul II Soul’s Back To Life, which is a mega club hit.
And WTF is with all this Rihanna bull. This post ISN’T about her so don’t bring up her name. Y’all think everyone copies Rihanna SMH.
cant wait for Estelle’s new Album. for all you Rihanna stans, please do us all a favour and crawl under a hole and never come back.
I STOP WATCHING WHEN I SEEN SHE WAS IN BLACK FACE. #EPICFAIL, WE HAVE OVERCOME SUCH THINGS IN PAST, THROWING SOME CATCHY LYRICS AND UPBEAT TO IT DOESNT MAKE IT HIP OR FASHIONABLE TO WEAR BLACK FACE…NEXT!!!!!!!!
AND IM ACTUALLY LIKE ESTELLE BUT DIFFERENT AND TACKY ARE TWO VERYYYYYY VERYYYYYY DIFFERENT THANGS NOW…..
when Estelle was doing a video with Sean Paul she couldn’t even wine pon him, she was stiff like dead dog so I don’t see which part of sexy she is trying to create!
Estelle get back to britain, get on your tracksuit and trainers (sneakers), pick up a book and become a student.
ESTELLE, YOUR NOT FOOLIN’ NO ONE ‘ROUND ‘ERE!
Estelle is too damn gorgeous and the accent only adds to her attraction.
SHE ISN’T UGLY BECAUSE SHE’S DARK. SHE’S UGLY BECAUSE SHE’S UGLY. THERE ARE TOO MANY BEAUTIFUL DARK SKINNED WOMEN THAT I CAN NAME SO DON’T EVEN GO THERE WITH THE COLORISM BULLSH!T. AND FOR THE JACKAZZ THAT SAYS SHE DOESN’T HAVE A FOREHEAD LIKE RIHANNA. SHE ALSO DOESN’T HAVE THE SUCCESS RIHANNA HAS EITHER SO YOU FAIL FOR TRYING TO CRITICIZE RIHANNA WHEN ESTELLE IS NOT ON HER LEVEL. SHE SHOULD BE STRUNG UP FROM A TREE AND LYNCHED FOR HAVING THE NERVE TO WEAR BLACK FACE IN 2010. WHAT A DISGRACE TO BLACK PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. SHE GETS NO RESPECT FROM ME.
Keep It 100: You have me laughing out loud with those first two sentence in your comment but she knows better. Doing a video with a Minstrel face with loud red lipstick is going to defend others especially in this country.
“A Clockwork Orange” inspired dancing, hmm…Estelle has definitely walked over to the ‘dark side’.
LOVE ESTELLE YOU GO GIRL!
You know damn well those are not REAL Rihanna fans talking that mess. That is just someone trying to start a STAN WAR and you fools fall for it EVERY TIME. Smh.
EFF THE HATERS THIS WILL BE ESTELLE’S BIGGEST ALBUM!!!!! FIREEEEE!!!!!! WATCH AND SEE!!!!
I’m sorry but this video looks like its gonna be hot fiyah!
And I’m black but I don’t find her “black face” makeup offensive. It’s clearly not intended to be offensive but…to each their very own.
damn, you guys can be really mean, its upsetting. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions naturally, but there is a line between sharing opinions and just plain insulting.
and the things that are said on here. “Hung from a tree and lynched for wearing a black face in 2010″ you would think this is a hate site, not a site for commenting about the post.
