I honestly knew nothing of Estelle before going to see her at the 9:30 show a few weeks ago. I had heard "American Boy" once or twice (love that shell-toe reset) but that's it. But she totally owns things in concert. Smart, sassy and full of talent. I think UK R&B in general is light years better than the American version, it's less formulaic and takes more chances.

I would go see Estelle again in a heartbeat. I bet she'd be a big hit at a big summer festival, unlike someone like Duffy, who was a total snoozer.
