"Estelle has vented her frustrations at the state of British R&amp;amp;B music. The &amp;#039;American Boy&amp;#039; singer revealed that she chose to leave the UK in hopes of having more chart success in America, where she says R&amp;amp;B is taken more &amp;quot;seriously&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so f**king hard for British artists to be taken seriously as R&amp;amp;B artists\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 It&amp;#039;s frustrating,&amp;quot; she told The AP. &amp;quot;I get a lot of [people saying], &amp;#039;Yo Estelle, I can&amp;#039;t sing R&amp;amp;B and be out here and make money. This is crazy&amp;#039;. And I&amp;#039;m looking at them like, &amp;#039;I know. That&amp;#039;s why I&amp;#039;m not there doing it&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Estelle recently released her third studio album All of Me in the US, which comes nearly four years after the success of &amp;#039;American Boy&amp;#039;.  The musician explained that she waited so long between albums to ensure that her songs were of the very highest quality. &amp;quot;I always say there&amp;#039;s a difference between cooked food and McDonald&amp;#039;s,&amp;quot; she quipped. &amp;quot;Your mom&amp;#039;s homemade dinner - you enjoy this more than you enjoy the fast food that comes along and goes, and I strive to make homemade dinner every time I put out an album.&amp;quot; Estelle previously suggested that she considers All of Me to be a true comeback. &amp;gt; Estelle to replace Kelly Rowland on The X Factor?
