What I can't understand with Winehouse is the fact that instead of apparently applauding her for sounding *black* why don't the same people get off their arses and actually buy an an album recorded by a black female artist which probably doesn't get the *gushing reviews* from the predominantly *white musical press*????

:confused:
 
Only the voices in your head tell you that, Cheesy. She's ordinary - an ordinary singer and an ordinary drunk/addict who has the misfortune of being in the public eye. There are many many better female vocailists to fawn over.

All other criticisms aside...IMO Amy is/was not an ordinary singer, she has/had shed loads of that special something. I'm not sure how much has been nature or nuture but it's/it was visible all the same.
 
Pick a tense and stick to it. :mad:

:D

amy winehouse has an excellent voice imo...well no so much excellent as different and unique...i wish she would get her shite together and really dig into her talent...she has 'staying power' musically if she could sort herself out.

yep, this little gem is like vintage Prince and I live for Prince - shes such a fantastic songwriter all her old songs are blinding.

Beat to the point of death

I suggest you judge how 'ordinary':eek: her voice is from this, im still tickled by that comment LOL!:rolleyes::D

 
Good point, well made. But her voice still isn't ordinary IMO.

shes not racist, she was acting the nutter off her tits, and she did apologise for it, by jokingly saying she'd call her next album 'Black dont crack.':D

i urge folks to try to just ignore the media circus surrounding people like Amy Winehouse and Pete. It depends on you, and whether you can separate the two, and not allow your judgement to be clouded. Why do people find this so hard? I find it easy. They are just druggies, they aint bad people.

Did I call her a racist? :confused:
Don't accuse me of that and please don't tell me how to think about her behaviour. I too can act like a nutter when off my tits, doubt if you'd find a video like that of me though.

I do appreciate her voice and talent, but also lament her present situation. I wish her well, but she ain't perfect.

i wasnt talking to you, but chico enrico.

and it was an irrelevant point made by someone who is incapable of separating the music from the circus. I find that attitude stoopid.

Ok....although I find you'll find CE didn't call her racist either.

I appreciate what your saying CP but you can't expect people not to have an impression of her. That video was not filmed by a spying journo, so it's not the average media circus thing is it? You can't just look at the things you like and hope the other stuff goes away.

Equally, other folk are entitled to have an opnion and see things from their own perspective.
 
But you consider that you have anything meaningful to say about this subject?

:confused:

yeh. everything i got to say about this subject is meaningful, if you can follow me. Besides, I probably know more about these two musicians than everyone posting on this thread put together :p:)

i cant be bothered with any of the media circus though. I just want the two of them to get over their addictions and get on with the music.:)
