THE FEMALE BRITISH INVASION: THE NEW AMYS?

Well, I'm not a big fan of her music but after I hear that she was in the Oprah show with her manager, American Idol's Simon Cowell, it's a fact that she is becoming the new british superstar in America.

I won't be surprised if her radio hit "BLEEDING LOVE" (2007's best selling single in the UK) kicks out the Usher/Young Jeezy collabo from the number 1 position.

Remember last year when Josh Groban sold millions of his holiday album after his performance in Ms. Winfrey's show?



I'm just kind of dissapointed that amazing singers like Kate Nash and Adele are not getting that attention in the US.



Thanks god that we still can count on the talented and beautiful DUFFY who has the best selling single ("Mercy") and album ("Rockferry") right now in the other side of the atlantic.

With her music, a retro-soul homage to the Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, she's supposed to be the new Amy Winehouse (minus the drugs) or a replacement Dusty Springfield.


Well I guess all these ladies have to be grateful to la Winehouse for bringing the british flava to these lands. Funny thing that all of them with the exception of Miss Duffy attended the same Brit School Fame Academy. Extra bonus points for Duffy!!!


One last thing... Apparently there's a new song by another british singer called Estelle that might keeps Duffy from the numero uno position. The songs that features rap lyrics by Kanye West is titled "AMERICAN BOY" and tells the story of a british girl having a thing for the american culture.

Funny!!
