ESTELLE - ESTELLE PREFERS BRIT BOYS TO AMERICAN BOYS

Singer/rapper ESTELLE isn't a fan of American Boys after all - she prefers dating British men because they are more direct when it comes to romance. The British R+B star - who knocked soul newcomer Duffy off the top of the U.K. charts on Sunday (23Mar08) with her hit American Boy - failed to find love after spending a year living in the U.S. And a return to the U.K. to promote her new track has made her realise her loving loyalties lie with English men. She says, "I've had almost a full year to date American guys but I'm in between that now because I just got home and had a refresher course. "I always say American guys are very well put together, and are great to look at, which is very important, but British guys are more to the point, which I like. They are more direct and there is no game around the corner."
