I don't dispute that Duffy is beautiful and an excellent singer, but what you all must understand is that without the Arethas and Patti La Belles of the world there would be no Duffy. Several people have used what others have done in order to become succesful.
But we must never forget the first ones who created this pattern. Its like citing a reference in your paper. Its only right to give credit. Even though u give credit your paper can be good.
I agree with estelle. Sometimes its hard for people to get her point, but think of it this way. Imagine that you spent your life and hardship working on the invention of the car. All of your frustration and and life hardship were put into creating and inventing the car, and then someone creates the hybrid in 5 yrs.and gets all the credit for the invention of the car.
Aretha franklin, dionne warwick and other motown singers are the inventors(cars). Duffy and Adele are IMITATORS (hybrids)
If you like Duffy's music, good on ya. Duffy herself has said it's more a 'tribute' to soul music than actually 'being soul music'. So seems to me this is a lot of hot water under a bridge ..or however the expression goes...
(but I'm sure Ill be misquoted by the same malicious small-minded & petty hacks living in troll land bathing under the aforementioned bridge!)
@ManilaSoulDude I guess you have never heard soul before either. Sould music has been around for about 50-60 years and you are really going to say some stupid shit like these two chicks are THE BEST that have done it? I guess they have a lot of opium in Asia... Do some research before you say some dumb shit like that. Duffy herself would never say some shit like that. Asians usually love the classics and have a great respect for others music. I won't let you ruin my image of your people.
i love duffy but fair play to estelle i dont think she said anything out of order. It was constructive and actually about the music, which is what remarks should be about. At least she didnt call her fat or something for no reason like what a lot of people in the media do. Both are good singers and fair play to Duffy for not taking it the wrong way.
How gracious and dignified of Duffy, she is the huge talent, and quite a beautifull person all at once, I hope the pettiness of others insecurities and nastiness NEVER hurts this fresh young Artist, stay real Duffy, believe me, they all just wish they had your talents, and beauty, you are the bomb!
let's face it, there are so few women in the media who have this much heart that the term soul must be applied here, and she really deserves the amazing response. she's the absolute best these daze
Duffy is a lovely, talented LADY. Who the fuck is Estelle anyway?!? I am serious. I am American and I have never heard of her. However, based on that sound bite from her, I am left to assume that she is a racist, snippy bitch. I have known a few chicks like that. Keep doing your thing, Duffy! You are the BEST thing that has happened to music in years.
classy response to comments TAKEN COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT... An entertainer must constantly beware of instigators of agitation. The Media and Tabloid rags run by "pink" rainbow people are the force behind the nastiness... Get rid of them and we might actually be able to enjoy real talented people again and not these manufactured children who are manipulated into promoting their agenda.
I love Duffy so much. I don't like Estelle. She has to tell people to buy it, because no one actually will. Duffy is a lot better. Raw talent. She ACTUALLY won a grammy.
i swear this shit is run by idiots, they have some of the worst interviewers i've ever seen, so many fucking idiots! and they put "duffy acts "to" cool catfight"... are you fucking serious! was that your attempt at trying to abbreviate the title as much as you can, with shit spelling n grammar! you couldn't even spell "too" right and you had to miss out the additional to before cat fight. you guys are idiots and always got some bullshit ass news, i don't even know why i'm here. fuck this place
@converseshoeboy haha the title is 'Duffy acts to cool catfight' as in duffys acts in order to cool (as in calm down) the catfight. it's not ITN's fault you have a simple view of the english language.
ACTUALLY, she did in fact mention race in the interview from which this was referenced. She also did say that her music is soul. So that we are clear, I am an American 24yo Black woman and to be honest I am not the biggest estelle fan, perhaps not a fan at all, I do however love Adele and Duffy because they offer ME Classic soul that speaks. Estelle's music is a lot of noise
I reckon the reason estelle said those comments about adele and duffy not having soul was because they're not black. Im neither black or white but thats what I think. Genre's shouldn't be restrsiced to certain races, music is for everyone!
I liked estelle since i fell, inlove w/ her hit "American boy" single. I was upset heard da rest of her chit n thats what it was,worthless TURD. Lacking SOUL. Ironically. Duffy,Amy and Joss stone are my Favorite ladies. Individually, uniquely,Beautiful,to me,oh So fully full of Soul.From the heart, Real Emotions,Natural Raw Talent,Voices no1 can duplicate or compare to.
She didn't say that because they where not black stupid people.. Look at Amy Winehouse she is a great soul singer.. Estelle isn't soul herself.. So stop trying to bring colour into the picture no one cares about colour just the music..
reading all these comments it makes me laugh that vftw think it is a victory that jordo won because they thought she was the worst. everyone loves her... she is popular, hardly an upset and she wasn't the worst.
Estelle, do you honestly think you have more soul than Duffy & Adel?!!! You're acting like a Diva when you've got nothing to show or prove you are, which you'll never will be!
@jlwjr35 hear, hear...i second that theres enough rubbish in good old everyday life that shouldn't be allowed to touch the purity that is music itself.
Who the hell is Estelle????...has she ever written a song I should know about?..Is she stunningly beautiful and has she recorded a son like Stepping Stone?...erhmm...no...I have never ever heard of her...is she important?..
Me too! Great minds think alike, lol...I'm black, I'm not a fan of Estelle's music and I love Adele and Duffy both. I think Estelle should only throw about comments like that when she's reached superstar status .I love Duffy's response to her ..how diplomatic and mature she is..
Just so you know ESTELLE back in the 50's they did put faces on records so no one knew what race some singers were. Everyone thought Jerry Lee Lewis was black. Good music is good music, unlike the rap shit you put out.

I love what duffy had to say about this. that just shows that she really cares about doing cool stuff with her music like recreating soul instead of hating on other musicians. Besides, duffy's voice is so great that she probably could sing the type of soul that estelle was talking about. She is wonderful! :)
Estelle you mean Kanye West...That bitch would be a nobody only for him...American boy was here but now its gone , Duffy's music will remain alive for much longer..As for Adele she would just knock the fuck out of Estelle face to face
It's a disgrace that these attitudes still exist in 2009. Music is universal and talent comes in all kinds. With narrow-minded attitudes from consumers, radio program directors, and many others, we still have to words like "crossover" strictly because of race, and it's horrible. Duffy is a real lady with the utmost class, and is every bit of a true soul singer. I'm huge fan of hers, and not that it matters, but I also happen to be black
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Neither Duffy, Adele, or Estelle have soul. All three are products of the music industry and simply make a lesser-quality copy of music that once sounded great.
I do applaud Duffy for having class and reacting to the comment in such a reserved fashion.
Estelle IS a nobody. I hate it when singers who don't have any talent try to degrade those who do. They think their opinion is so important that it should be pushed on everyone else. Duffy made it big on her own. Estelle needed Kanye to get her song played.
duffy is sooooooooooo good and REAL. i am glad she is so POPULAR this time since i feel that in another lifetime mafia types did not think she was good enough.... SHE IS WONDERFUL maybe she did not want to "obey" them
Think this is just sour grapes from estelle. Didn't she get dumped from her record company as she had no interest in her songs? When did Duffy and Adele declare themselves as "Soul Singers" other people have labelled them that. Just keep doing what you are doing adele and duffy......maybe estelle should go and see her American Boi!!!! Someone must want the old skankbag!!!
You can't compare Duffy and Amy Winehouse. Duffy is cuter with a better voice and she isn't a drugged out Crack Whore like Amy WineWhore. Just look at her DIMPLES, SO CUTE!!!
Estelle was misquoted by the gossip monger lying press and most folks here are falling for it and then hating Estelle (what's happened to thinking for yourself these days?).
I dont like Estelles songs as much as Duffys but that does not mean then that I should 'jump on the no brains hate everything because I got nothing else original to offer bandwagon' that the working class hating corp crap press do so well, to help us stay dumbed down! Sadly Duffy seems to have foolishly beleived it too.
Estelle had a record to promote, slag off the current sensations and you get free publicity. I forgive her. Find it a lot harder to forgive Alison Goldfrapp - same scenario, album to promote so coincidently she slags off Duffy with some pretty wide of the mark comments. So classy Alison.
I Love Duffy, Estelle, and Adele. and i dont think estelle was being mean. Aretha Franklin is better than all the girls put together. BUT they are still so unique and individually talented and blessed! No one should be mad at the words
Estelle, you jealous bitch, with no talent, with no class...just shut up, it's simple as to breathe.
Duffy is gifted, you're not!
Oh yes! I wanna see you talking with all this arrogance about Winehouse...of course you won't, she would kick your ass and you know that! I'm sorry, darling, just quit!
I don't like the music that estelle produces but i understand that people out in the world do like the music like estelle's but duffy is down to earth and she produces great music which is very soulfull!
Ay...no, Estelle, please stop hating on Duffy, she's pretty and has a very talented voice. Adele is also pretty and sings very soulful. You, Estelle have good music, but stop hating because it makes you look bad and people don't want to buy your album because of that. Happy Holidays guys!!!!
this is sad... the only thing estelle is known for is kanye west- and guess wat hun? he's not wat u call the top example of soul. Who is she to say, then, wats soulful- not like she'd know
duffys not tryin 2 b mary or aretha she has her own original unique sound unlike some who brings the same tripe out wev all heard a thousand times! stick with egotistic kanye estelle youll go far ha!
i Love DUFFY!! I have her album and listen o it all the time. can't wait for the deluxe version to come out! estelle isnt terrible (as a person or a singer) but ive lost some respect for her...duffy really shines here...plus i love her voice haha 1:05 "what was that?"
i like both of these artists althoo i have all of duffys songs on my ipod. i never like estelle as a person aniways because there is somethin about her that just seem like some1 huu wil do anithing to reach the top. so with the credit duffys had, she must feeel pretty gutted annd shes REALLY let her spiteful side sho. lovee yuu duffy xox
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
just because estelle is doing something unique and duffy and the bigger one and winehouse are pretending they're in austin powers and putting on voices people are brainwashed its act that they are copycat artists ad its you're opinion that estelle is shit just as its mine that buff and i cant be fucked to remeber their names are shit
omg lol estelle has to be pretty stupid ealking shit about duffy!!! Did you hear her sing at the EMA's? Duffy rocked it!!!Estelles Performance was pretty shitty because she messed up a few notes and the dress was a blue nightmare too!!!
Estelle really is not that good. DUFFY now she is AWESOME. Like she has an amazing voice. I love her just as I do Mary, Alicia Keys, & Gladys. Duffy can sing, Estelle cannot.
Estelle is sooo unbelievably up herself these days- it's embarassing. How can you diss two people with such raw talent... then completely go back on your words and contradict what you've said later!
and its her own album launch and she still feels the need to plug her album! How tragic.
What ever! Estelle is just going to far, Duffy is an amazing artis and it is not fair to comment on her music when it is clearly not the same as African american soul singer, So Estelle should just chill stop commenting out of her area of "expertise" and enjoy her career (While it lasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
It's my opinion that no one can EVER be on Mary's or Aretha's level, including you Miss. Estelle. I don't doubt your singing abilities but coming from the streets, admiring the Cosby Show and collaborating with Kanye does not make you great, your talent does. Obviously Estelle is too self centered to recognize that ANY soul artist dosn't have to mimic Aretha.The truly great ones will take notes & turn their influences into something very special ... Just like Adele, Duffy and Amy have done.
Estelle needs to shut her ugly teeth

only one right answer: DUFFY
estelle should be very small and stay in the corner silent.
she does not know what will be in 30 years. then duffy's songs like mercy etc will be still played because they have the soulfactor.
it is totally unfair to compare her to "old" stars like aretha. aretha is a star because she is played still nowadays.

Duffy and Adele have real talent, Estelle gets edits to make herself sound good.

That fucking annoys me that Estelle said that, what the fuck does she know about soul.
I'm glad Duffy's album did better, she can rub that in her face.

Think this is just sour grapes from estelle. Didn't she get dumped from her record company as she had no interest in her songs? When did Duffy and Adele declare themselves as "Soul Singers" other people have labelled them that. Just keep doing what you are doing adele and duffy......maybe estelle should go and see her American Boi!!!! Someone must want the old skankbag!!!

You can't compare Duffy and Amy Winehouse. Duffy is cuter with a better voice and she isn't a drugged out Crack Whore like Amy WineWhore. Just look at her DIMPLES, SO CUTE!!!

Estelle was misquoted by the gossip monger lying press and most folks here are falling for it and then hating Estelle (what's happened to thinking for yourself these days?).
I dont like Estelles songs as much as Duffys but that does not mean then that I should 'jump on the no brains hate everything because I got nothing else original to offer bandwagon' that the working class hating corp crap press do so well, to help us stay dumbed down! Sadly Duffy seems to have foolishly beleived it too.

Estelle had a record to promote, slag off the current sensations and you get free publicity. I forgive her. Find it a lot harder to forgive Alison Goldfrapp - same scenario, album to promote so coincidently she slags off Duffy with some pretty wide of the mark comments. So classy Alison.

MeganHunt95 3 years ago 2
Ay...no, Estelle, please stop hating on Duffy, she's pretty and has a very talented voice. Adele is also pretty and sings very soulful. You, Estelle have good music, but stop hating because it makes you look bad and people don't want to buy your album because of that. Happy Holidays guys!!!!

Estelle is sooo unbelievably up herself these days- it's embarassing. How can you diss two people with such raw talent... then completely go back on your words and contradict what you've said later!
and its her own album launch and she still feels the need to plug her album! How tragic.
Duffy handled herself so well- good on her!!

What ever! Estelle is just going to far, Duffy is an amazing artis and it is not fair to comment on her music when it is clearly not the same as African american soul singer, So Estelle should just chill stop commenting out of her area of "expertise" and enjoy her career (While it lasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It's my opinion that no one can EVER be on Mary's or Aretha's level, including you Miss. Estelle. I don't doubt your singing abilities but coming from the streets, admiring the Cosby Show and collaborating with Kanye does not make you great, your talent does. Obviously Estelle is too self centered to recognize that ANY soul artist dosn't have to mimic Aretha.The truly great ones will take notes & turn their influences into something very special ... Just like Adele, Duffy and Amy have done.
