Duffy Goes Stateside
Last week Leona Lewis became the first British woman in 20 years to go to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and now... the floodgates are open. Not only has Adele been signed up, but now after a massive show at SXSW, Duffy is stomping her ground out.
As tends to happen when a UK artist goes to America, they've re-recorded the video to Mercy to make it look a bit more American. Unlike Leona and her big Times Square video, Duffy's new one isn't too far away. We lose the Buffy-esque dancing man on fire, and instead gain a few shots of Duffy off stage looking cute, a lady in a bra and lots of people's heads! Worth it? And do you think she'll make it over there?

Yes i do think Duffy will do as well as leona because she has a great voice she is very lively and has a great taste of music, leona has a tough competition with duffy becuase duffy will catch up very soon she is a really talented singer they both are i love them both... Love From Chelsea Ferbert xx

I live in New York, and I have been listening to Duffy for a while now...I think shes absolutely amazing and so far everyone I've played it for agrees. I actually liked the old video better, but that's not what counts. Duffy is awesome and she's definitely going to make it here in America

Brilliant Song, Gorgeous Young Lady, Stunning Voice! Should have left the video as was! But not sure if the Americans would get the whole Northern Soul Dance thing?? I think being blonde Gorgeous and talented, she is gonna blow their proverbial socks off!! All I can do is WISH HER the best of luck!! From one Celt to Another!! Being as I'm Scots!!!

A million times better than that Leona crap. At least Duffy has some guts and moves. Leona is like a soggy puppet and her voice is like a duck.

I'm not sure duffy has what it takes to be big in America...especially with this song..it gets really annoying and isnt great to show off her talent. Dont get me wrong i like her and she can sort of sing but she hasnt got that WOW factor that Leona & Amy Winehouse have as they are major superstars.
