Not bad–a little foggy, getting over a cold . . .
I think the vocalist actually gives a better performance than Kid Rock.

I had to reread the part about the cover song being five spots ahead of the original a couple of times before it sank in.
Yeah. A smaller, less popular artist like Estelle seems more vulnerable. Especially since most people only know the one single, and iTunes is perfect for delivering that. Basically, as I said in my special column two weeks ago, Atlantic is trying to repeat various versions of the no-singles policies the labels adopted in the ’90s. They tried the “established rock act releases no single” model. Now they’re trying the “developing act/potential one-hit-wonder” model–and the consumer isn’t taking the bait.
