UK chicks who rocked the industry in "08"

Estelle, Leona Lewis, and M.I.A., are all women from diverse backgrounds and styles of music, but they have one thing in common. These chicas all derived from the UK and tore up the American music scene this year. Yes, this dynamic trio killed U.S. music charts this year and stole the hearts and seduced music listeners not only with their great looks, but unique styles and sounds.

Take me on a trip, I like to go some day!!! Estelle


Estelle released her debut album, "Shine" this past February under John Legend's label Home Shool. She is nominated for song of the year for "american boy" at the upcoming Grammy's which will be airing soon. Her latest video "Come Over" featuring Sean Paul is hott! This joint brings me back to basement house parties in the hood and slow dances that would make your mama bring out the belt if she peeped you grinding to this song. If you haven't copped Estelle's album you should do yourself a favor and check it out cuz its really, really good and features Wyclef, JL, The Louis Vuitton Don, and Cee-Lo. Unfortunately, Sean Paul is not featured on the original track on her album, but maybe a deluxe release will be coming soon... Oh yeah, please check out Sean Paul's dance moves in this video, he kills me with his little whine. Don't hurt him Estelle!




No one on the corner has Swagga like her! M.I.A.
Yes, this is the lady behind T.I.'s "Swagga like us" track, which would not be blazing radio airways or the entire music scene right now without the sampled hook from Miss. M.I.A.'s Paper Plane track.



Not only am I feeling her unique style, Sri Lanka looks, and crazy sound that makes you say, "what the hell did she just say?", but the woman has talent oozing out of her system. M.I.A. is a producer, song writer, visual artist, and clothing designer.

M.I.A. Rockin her hott shiny dress!

A LIGHT EXPERIENC3
"Paper Planes"


Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis

Some may think Leona Lewis is nothing, but a carbon copy of Mariah Carey- Oops, my bad Mariah Cannon. Even with her recycled style and sound she still killed the industry this year by winning the 2008 Billboard Best New Artist Award, so give the sistah props where they are due and not to mention she is repping for biracial women all across the world. Not only did she sell millions of records, my girl had two of the hottest singles out in 08 including, "Bleeding Love" and "Better in time", which is definitely a song that helped me and probably a zillion other folks across the globe get over past relationships. I'm not sure if she wrote the song, but she delivers it in such a way that convinced me that I will be aight without that JERK.

Check out my Love him, but let him stay Gone with his Trifling self song "Better in time"! I'm sure that's what Leona meant to say.
