Estelle Gets Fierce, Puts George Michael’s Jukebox Back Together


As Estelle’s fantastic “No Substitute Love” drew, ahem, heavy inspiration from George Michael’s “Faith,” so too does the video’s opening, although I kind of wish she’d stuck with the GM hip-shaking motif and tried to incorporate the inevitable, director-financing cell-phone “cameo” into that instead of inserting a Christian Siriano appearance (??) to hang the video’s thread of a storyline on. Perhaps a Christian-designed gown with the phone placed strategically inside would have done the trick? [MySpace via That Grape Juice]

    As much as I love Estelle’s album, one thing I found weird. You could stick the chorus from “So Much Out the Way” directly into “Substitute Love” and its the exact same thing. I mean, same chords, same tempo, same key! Even the background vocals sound the same. I can’t listen to “So Much Out the Way” without the melody from the other song popping into my head. I blame Wycef.

    @Soper: You’re right. I thought it was the other song at first.
