Amy Winehouse (talented, songs, youtube)

Well, she first entered the scene a few years ago as a fresh young singer without a true image, she was a bit chubbier too. What she was doing wasn't truly original and she didn't garner much attention, then she re-appeared somehow as a anorexic black "soul" singer. Her heavily doctored album was released to quite a lot of buzz and she's riding the media attention she's been getting ever since. From live performances it's pretty obvious she's quite talentless and from the style of music it's very obvious she has about as much to do with blues as the colour pink.

Listen to Frank.

Sinatra's style was incredibly pop, but he had the voice to boot, he also employed class musicians which helped him immensely in establishing himself as a Jazz and Swing singer.

her backup singers have more talent than here......and the band that plays for her.....everyone around her is talented and she constantly drops the ball when performing live

^ Her debut album 'Frank' (platinum sales) was released in 2003...to much critical acclaim, especially in Jazz circles (hence the reason the thread is in here) and included an Ivor Novello award for 'Stronger Than Me' in 2004.

Singing 'Teach Me Tonight' cover, by the great Dinah Washington.
Astounding performance, especially for a young 22 year old.

Really? I thought it was a pretty noice performance, especially considering the condition she appeared to be in a mere month or two ago.

**right-track** · 02-18-2008, 12:18 PM

Still way below par imo...looked like she couldn't give a toss.
It'll be a big shame if she blows her talent.
Interesting to see what direction her next album goes in too...if she lives long enough.

Edit:I just listened to that all the way through...are you tone deaf Wayfarer?

Wayfarer · 02-18-2008, 12:52 PM

Probably.
