Estelle + Label pressure= changed image?


Well I thought it'd be appropriate to write about this especially since Diva previously made a post about how people change themselves to be accepted by society.


Anyway, we all know our British talent Estelle is trying to make it big in the USA, well according to her record label (Atlantic Records) the only way to achieve this is to change her "tomboy" image

“The American executives are adamant she makes a lot of significant changes,” said a source. “They want rid of her tomboy hair and want her to get her teeth fixed.”

“Estelle is not happy. She feels her teeth and the rest of her look are a big part of her character.”


It's evident that society, specifically the media, tries to make people conform to their ideas of beauty. Personally, I think this is outrageous but it's very common as celebrities are subjected to so much pressure just to stay relevant in the industry. Do you think this is a necessary thing for her to do though.

I respect Estelle refusing to change, and I'll be damned if she does a Beyonce upgrade and starts wearing a big massive weave, killer heels and showing her batty! Lol.. I'm just messing though Beys doing her thing.
