Estelle 428

Estelle denies that receord label execs asked her her to soften up her “tomboy” steez:

[Estelle] was reportedly asked by chiefs at John Legend’s new label Homeschool Records to fix her teeth and alter her hair. But the star admits it was her choice to get braces for her teeth, insisting her label is impressed with her image. She says, ‘They know me. I came with a look. I came with my style and they were grateful. They were like, ‘Thank God we don’t got to worry about putting you in a pair of pants or giving you a weave.’ ‘I think because I got braces everyone said the label said it. I been trying to get braces since 2000 and I finally did it.”

We applaud her effort to step up her femininity, but perhaps we can suggest she wear that retainer a little while longer.

  • rayrayischillin

    I am happy that she decided to get her teeth fixed. She looked like someone had hit her in the mouth with a bag of jagged rocks!

    Love her music though. :-)

  • Dimple Pink

    she looks cute in that brown dress

  • I’m Just Me

    I agree who really cares about this.

  • J Gats Juice

    she wore those braces for all of 4 days.. how much improvement can one expect???

  • bree

    @ Red, i was getting ready to say the same thing! KUDOS! :-P

  • MR

    Her grill is rough on the “American Boy” video, but I like her music regardless…

  • Pat

    Her music is the bomb but she’ll probably be wearing a weave by the second album. If she don’t sell out the door she will need to conform or be like lauryn hill and go AWOL.

  • glok9n

    Shez different and the music bizz need her, so yes fix her jacked up mouth and yes dress like a young lady and not like a fukking bloke!!!

  • Red

    She’s British…it’s not like the British are world renound for their great teeth! ;-) She brings it…that’s more than I can say for some of the artists with record deals out now…

  • Wenzel Dashington

    She wants to be the black Amy Winehouse or something. But my girl, Amy, is more ghetto than this check any day. :)

    @ i’m just me

    you look old and used up. I bet u have two baby daddies and a clerical job. Ugly!!!

  • spinner22

    I thinks she is awesome i see grammy grammy for her in 2009 no doubts

  • dejavu1128 aka femmefatale

    Yea

  • Pumpkin

    @Wenzel Washington, Im British and I know Amy is not ghetto. She might be a crazy, alcohol, drug addicted mad woman but shes not ghetto at all. Far far far from it in fact. Just because she sings “soul” music and is seen acting like a vagabond that doesnt make her ghetto. Anyway being ghetto is not an accomplishment, duh.

    Estelle is a very talented lady, shes come along way and I respect her for going to the states, pursuing her dreams and making great music.

  • kris

    I love her music. It’s messed up how these record labels will come down so hard on female artists about their looks,but not with the men. I mean how long was 50 Cent walking around with jacked up teeth before he got them fixed. I love Estelle’s voice and sound. Eventually all the female artists cave, I remember Beyonce saying she would never get surgery and she ended up getting a nose job and breast implants.

  • Why?

    Wow! What a naturally beautiful young woman. I hope they allow her to continue to evolve naturally and gracefully.

  • GGirlNYC

    Good for her… Those old pics look ROUGH. But like the other comments, I TRULY hope she doesn’t go to far with the weaves, trying to emulate Beyonce or whatever. Keep the flava!

  • arasiam

    she got smoker lips and fingers

  • lipstickslick

    she still has bad teeth…..in her latest video, her bottom set still looks kinda funky

  • sello

    what eva peeps! estelle’s music is still banging! from the old cd to the new one! big ups girl! someone has to do it since lauryn hill steped down!

  • PIMP DADDY

    i love me some some dark chocolate they taste better than the red bones for real.

  • Vinandi

    just jamming Estelle- ” More than friends”- absoultely banging and fierce track!!!!

  • Faith

    Her new album is soooo good. I don’t care what she looks like as long as she keeps making good music.

  • Tracey

    I have always found Estelle ugly, I had a friend who appeared in a video she done a duet with..she said she was well horrible.

    I dont think braces wll do estelles trick she need an extreme make over on her mouth area!

  • nicky

    wtf why are americans so vain leave our british girls alone. i think she should have stayed in england because you guy apparently care more about stlye than substance so should just keep all the your acts that look the same. And our artist that actually have something to say we keep to ourselves.

  • Anton Slizzardhands

    oooo weeee!! British people are UGLEE

  • light skin blackwoman

    im sorry but this woman is ugly.

  • Sparkle

    Estelle is going to have to do a Michael Jackson. Bleach her azz, put on some blue contacts and a long silky lacefront to get some luv up in this old colorstruck USA.

    THANKYOU @ SPARKLE, VISHA, NICKY AND PUMPKIN-

    @LIGHT SKIN BLACK WOMAN, DON’T NEED TO KNOW YOU TO KNOW YOU’VE HAD ISSUES FROM TIME! SO SHUSH!

    @ ANTON- WHERE’S UR PIC SWEETPEA IF UR SO DAMN HANDSOME?

    @ TRACEY- GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH- WHAT QUALIFIES YOU TO TALK ABOUT A BLACK WOMANS’ MOUTH, I HAVE THICK LIPS TO- IF YOU SAW ME YOU WOULDN’T CALL ME UGLY BELIEVE THAT. IT’S AN INHERITED CHARACTERISTIC THAT NOT EVERY1 IS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET. GET OVER IT-

  • Me thats who

    Littlw Wing I agree with you 100%

  • http://uk.youtube.com/Kandgoods Kandgoods~ “Marsha”

    @ ISSUES…YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE…DID YOU THINK YOU COULD GET BY ON YOUR LOOKS, A LITTLE EDUCATION WOULDN’T GO AMIS BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY FINDS LIGHT SKINNED WOMEN ATTRACTIVE, I HOWEVER FIND ALL WOMEN ATTRACTIVE AND AM NOT SO NARROW MIONDED AND ASHAMED OF MY RACE THAT I HAVE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW I’M ONE OF THE “GOOD” ONES. LISTEN I’M PROUD OF MY RACE, DARK AS HELL AND I’M STILL BEAUTIFUL. YOUR PERCEPTION OF BEAUTY HAS BEEN DISTORTED BY THE WHITE MAN SO HEAR WHAT NEGRO- I’M NOT MAD AT YOU, IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT. TRY COUNSELLING FOOL! SMH

  • http://uk.youtube.com/Kandgoods Kandgoods~ “Marsha”

    I pose for camera’s everyday, I have built a career as a model- if you don’t believe i’m beautiful watch my videos- I never said anything about Estelle’s looks. I could never be jelous of any 1 once you see my face you’ll know why. AND I’M DARK but I’m still beautiful so I could never hate. stop promoting segregation. that name alone promotes it- who would be proud of the fact their great great grandmother was rapped by a slave master to get ur silky white complextion that is so superior- dn’t be ashamed either cos that’s nothing to do with you. Listen I don’t care for people like that; don’t pigeon hole people- all dark skin girls are NOT ugly and stupid. That’s not fair. But then why would you understand that. I say we all went through the struggle and YOU support the break down of a race that’s already been through enough giving off your “US AND THEM” views. It’s not hot- so chill.

  • http://uk.youtube.com/Kandgoods Kandgoods~ “Marsha”

    and wtf you mean you “test us”…you need to do a few tests yourself, that’s just disrespect. Understand a black woman is a black woman- ur one 2 but ur weak. Giving us a bad name while the white man laughs at us, ura fool. I don’t have time I thought it would be an idea to reason with you on a level- but it’s a waste of both our time!

  • Sacha UK

    I agree with Kris.

    Amy, ghetto. puh lease!!! She is what we say in the UK – skanky. Estelle is talented and an amazing performer. Her recent headline tour in the UK was my best concert so far this year. I jus had to re-order the 18th Day, forgot how many Bad tracks are on it. Do ur thing Estelle, whateva they MAKE u do, will jus increase what a Beauty you REALLY are.

  • Youmom

    SO EFFING UGLY! Seriously just repulsive…
