Nothing could be more perfect for a Saturday night than Estelle and the way she sings “American Boy”.
YouTube – American Boy – Estelle Feat. Kanye West
BTW, that link has some swearing in it that this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY7xXSW_NG4, does not have. Oddly, in this second link, the Michael Jackson button that Kanye is wearing is grayed out. Then again, this second link is associated with WEA music: that may have something to do with it.
I like the reference to Gladys Knight and the Pips in this song: Estelle reminds me of singers of that era.
I like how the shadow dances out of synch with her too. Heck, I like lots about this song/video, from the changing tempos, the guest appear of John Legend, the use of black and white patterns visually, her outfits, even.
Definitely bears repeat watching and listening.

Perfect, yes. Well, she always knew what she would choose, from the very beginning, but didn’t seem possible….Making one’s wishes known might be a good thing ?
