Hopefully, this will be the one that gets her help. This is horrid. It's like she's trying to invent a language. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emlzy-5wJE4

She can be a great singer and performer, just way too high most of the time. Junkiness does that. |

Guys,
I have to say this thread and video got me intrigued. I had heard of Amy before mostly about her "issues." I had never seen a performance. You know what, I liked it! I thought it was purposefully kitschy. The band rocks and her backup singers are working it! The bassist is even playing a Beatle bass.
Since the responses to the original clip were mostly negative I thought I would look around and see what others thought. I found this thread with a post by someone who calls himself a fanboy. He recommended several other Back to Black performance clips. A couple of these are outstanding. Amsterdam Joe's Pub NYC Live MTV House Band unplugged Beat It! with Charlotte Church (Bassist Playing Jaco relic with pick)
Okay, maybe I have become a fanboy. She is kinda' hot, No?

I don't know what it is. But for me it's like the voice is there but the soul is not..
