Can you supply examples?
Amy Winehouse?
Duffy?

Who else?

i don't see it as a british invasion. i just see a slight handful of british singers who are in various stages of crossover in the states. generally speaking, i think the US top 40 is still in a xenophobic k-hole.

I still haven't heard Duffy and Adele and I've only heard one song of Leona's

I think we're seeing a invasion of Electro

Of all the names mentioned, I think only Amy Winehouse is credible, solely based on her music. Most of the others mentioned are merely watered down, other-angled projections of her.

Also, can someone lock up Joss Stone and let her come out when she is somewhat more credible, thank you. I saw her live and her personality was as flat as a cardboard. And sure, she is young, but dayum.

I just don't get why artists/ bands have to be lumped into categories like this anyway..

"New"...? Amy is on her second album, Joss Stone is on her third, fourth..? Estelle's been around for a while and one hit in the US does not an invasion make...

Easily done! I mean, he's good-looking, he's smart, he's charismati...actually, how the hell DO people get us two mixed up?!

I think this should read....

"What do you think of the few British acts that have managed to squeeze through the dull inward corporate controlled charts and channels of the USA?"
