i find 'i'm no good' a tease. Its the way she sings those three words timidly as opposed to the aggressive way she sings 'i told ya, i was trouble.'

But best ever? fuck off
Definitely agree.
I'm looking forward to when her voice matures ... can envisage her as a female Tom Waits type in 10 years or so.
Hope she gets through the troubled times she's having at the moment.

There's no irony, just a bloody good singer doing her thing.
I'm still not convinced she's going to have much longevity though, I can't help but feel she's kinda "of the moment" and when her time has passed she'll be dropped as fast as she became huge.
I hope I'm wrong though, the music industry needs people like her...

Hardly getting over it.
It's what it says, a statement that music is NEVER "just music".Cheesypoof said:what kind of fuckery is this?
Have a think about it.
It's not that difficult a statement to get your head around. Ask any music journalist.

I'm trying to imagine her recording "Frank's Wild Years". Actually, that could work!cesare said:
Uh-huh, if only so that she doesn't die and have every half-literate music journalist manque in Christendom writing bollocks about her.

And she's got the pipes to take her wherever she wants to go, IMHO.beesonthewhatnow said:

Pleasant and unpatronising
I can’t claim to know very much about her but I did provisionally conclude singing wasn’t a strong suit – writing, musical integrity and stage persona being strengths.
Fwiw, I find the clichéd lifestyle embarrassing to observe – it was old 30 years ago, but I suppose I would.

take me to the feeling
I'm sick of hearing Winehouse's voice tbh. Never was that keen, but now that it's everywhere I really can't stand it.

Thats what I think too . She is better than most the stuff I hear on the radio but if I hear that fucking valerie song again ( the original wasn't that good , winehouses version didn't improve on it much ) it will be way too soon .
I've not really been around here long enough to be over-exposed to her music, but having seen a live gig on tv at Xmas her voice sounds quite unique. I didn't expect to like her stuff but found myself drawn in and watched the whole gig. It's a really lovely, versatile voice and I just hope that she doesn't get burnt out before creating some great music. I'd fucking love to have a voice like that.
this thread has never been a generic thread about amy winehouse. its about the way she moves her mouth and pastiches people when she sings. if you do lots of impressions like i do, you see what i mean. like salt and pepa for instance. i guess they might be one of her singing inspirations.
She makes no real connection with me, though I don't object to her, mouth movements or no. I quite like her as an apparently moderately interesting public figure, who might occasionally say something that wasn't scripted.
But to say she's more than just a singer, and thereby to imply that other singers are just singers shows no sense of the (really quite extensive) history of a fairly accessible art form, and to say she's more than just a singer because she pastiches others or ironically delivers songs shows fairly florid disrespect to the probably hundreds of generations of singers that have done the same (or, of course, been fucking great in their own way).
Though you may just be full of shit, and I may just be drunk.

Aye, she's Sarah Vaughan for the generation who have never heard of Sarah Vaughan. That's the generation who thinks history means something that happened a couple of weeks ago.

Erm.. I like Sarah Vaughan and Amy Winehouse. Which makes your comment seem a little.. rubbish

no. I don't agree with that. Vaughan annoys me a lot because she was prone to the melismania that everyone thinks passes for 'proper' singing these days.
I'm sure she would be an influence if more people knew who she was though.
So, on a related note, I've been pondering if it's too patronising to suggest
Cheesy checks out Billie Holiday?
I like Winehouse but if you're going to start claiming she's the best ever....
Billie actually might be.
And if you think Doherty is interesting Holiday was a fuck up to make him look like Chris Martin.
coming back to the start here, Sarah Vaughan is to Billie Holiday
as Whitney Houston is to Aretha Franklin

How many of Winehouse's fans have ever heard of Sarah Vaughan or anyone else for that matter? Most of these tykes think that jazz is what Harry Connick or Jamie Cullum does.
