    I've personally never heard of her or any of her songs, although it seems that she is quite high profile.

    I really doubt it. If he was, they'd make him the centre of promotion, not Estelle who no one even knows about.

    Though I dont think anybody will/should complain all that much. I think alot of us are just thankful it isnt Bowling For Soup or some other shitty American pop-punk band.
    "Jimmy Eat World" played the 2007 MLS Cup - which gave me just enough time to get beer and a dog.


    In other news, Lenny Kravitz played the 2007 Grey Cup a week later....

    How come it couldn't be some good old eurotrash group like those chicks who sing las ketchup



    Other strong contenders would be the Venga Boys



    Or the all time worst ever, Eifel 65...sit back and get a load of these douche bags!

    You guys gotta remember that MLS is trying to tap into youth hip Americans (maybe Canadians too) market. Estelle right now is one of the most popular singers in that market. Also fact she is huge in UK and perhaps rest of Europe might bring more attention from there about all-star game. So this wasn't a bad choice for MLS.

    Not a bad choice to grab attention in England and the young crowd in the USofA. But as far as the football crowd in Tornoto?

    Nice touch MLS. American Boy will be sung in a Canadian stadium the first time we host this joke of a game. If I want to watch the best in the league I'll watch my National side. Have fun to all the Hammers, though. Saw some at the game on Sat.

    Since the whole show is organized by MLS (TFC just provides the venue), just blame some American marketing wiz in the league FO for this.
    MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto

    Is she really popular in that demographic? I'm 18 and I've honestly never heard of her before...neither have a lot of other people in my age group.

    its more for TV anyway, its not like people in Canada watch MLS outside of the stadium anyway.

    I think we should stay in the stands and go through some TFC chants, but of course people have to fill up on beer, so thats not really possible.
