What the hell? There hasn't been soul music on the charts since the 1990s where the hell have you been? Soul has evolved hince the term "Neo-Soul" just as there are many forms of Jazz.. New Jazz, Free Jazz which originates in black culture and history. We created it yes but it doesnt mean that another race can't feel it understand it or create as well. Soul music is a part of african american history yes but thats not all its about. Soul music Jazz all of that transcends skin color. Nobody cares its about what you are singing. Billie Holiday was once asks why in the Jazz circuit does race not seem to matter Why is it that musicians seem to get it when it comes to over looking race? Maybe anonymous should go look up her answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297738874698423020.post-18428412140504515062008-04-14T12:56:00.000-07:002008-04-14T12:56:00.000-07:00Hey Anonymous - how about you leave your name when...Hey Anonymous - how about you leave your name when you are making comments. I happen to disagree with what you have said. Syrup & Honey isn't soul then?!... So you agree with Estelle then that one has to be black in order to sing soul?<BR/><BR/>BG, I agree that Estelle is R&B and not soul!Danyellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856634873202330941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297738874698423020.post-22775465182850457752008-04-13T17:15:00.000-07:002008-04-13T17:15:00.000-07:00To be fair Duffy knows nothing about soul music be...To be fair Duffy knows nothing about soul music because if she did she wouldn't make the comment she did about skin colour. I'd be surprised if she knew who Stevie Wonder was! Duffy has a good voice and the album is very retro but what can she do on the follow up. Duffy is pop music not soul music and estelle is urban music as its not soul. Soul music hasn't been sung in the charts since the 1990's. Soul music is about African-American history and there are some good white copies out but alas they do share the history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4297738874698423020.post-2785422103294800012008-04-12T17:11:00.000-07:002008-04-12T17:11:00.000-07:00Wow...

I just listened to clips of her on iTunes and "Estelle" has an AWFUL voice... her vocals are harsh and off key .. and her music IS NOT soul its Hip Hop and R&B ... so maybe she DOESN'T know what SOUL is... *shudders*Bad_Girls_Lamenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113502117777597637noreply@blogger.com
