Need A Date? How About 30 In One Night?
Marian Wright Edelman: Still Hungry in America
Fresh off of her Grammy Award win, British hip hop soul artist Estelle basked in the glow of the island sun at the 2009 St. Lucia Jazz Festival.
The 'American Boy' songstress serenaded an eager audience on Saturday afternoon, which brought a much desired weather pattern than the evening before (where fellow Amy Winehouse abruptly ended her show -- citing the rainstorms as the cause).
Clad in a form-fitting black and white strapless cocktail dress, the John Legend protégé ran through a battery of songs from her critically acclaimed Atlantic Records debut opus, 'Shine,' including 'Substitute Lover,' 'Pretty Please' and 'Wait a Minute.'
About her infectious Kanye West duet, the sassy songstress said she was sick of singing it, even beckoning the audience to pitch in.
Though she alleged that she was having back problems (via her Twitter page) and shunned international media (who all came out to support her), Estelle put on a show that was truly one of the highlights of this year's festival.

I'm sorry, the jacked up audio to the video WASN'T CLEAR and could barely hear her sing? It look like girlfriend was struggling across the stage dancing holding her back. She was doin too many dips and going down while dancin. I was like "Please watch your back"? I can see that Estelle was tired too and had the audience join in. Girlfriend couldn't wait till the whole concert was over, she ran off stage.
I didn't like her style of singing at first when she came out but, she started to grow on me. This was not her best under the circumstances. I guess she done the best that she could. I wasn't feelin her strapless dress at all.
