Amy Winehouse performance

[Woodchuck]

Hopefully, this will be the one that gets her help. This is horrid. It's like she's trying to invent a language.

 

[Nikoubis]

It's painful...

 

[The Mock Turtle Regulator]

is that Marge Simpson singing?

she reminds me of Vic Reeves' "Club Singer" impression on Shooting Stars-

1.45 in on this clip-

 

[Baryonyx]

That was ridiculous. She is truely one of the most talentless individuals ever to get near a microphone!

 

[casualmadness]

That was sad. Amy Winehouse is such an extraordinary talent. It's too bad that she is pissing it all away.

 

[ErikP.Bass]

The band is killer. I had to look up the lyrics after listening to it...........the funny thing is with the lyrics in front of you, you can almost understand it.

 

[John Wentzien]

Meltdown.

 

[jady]

Mouthful of marbles that girl has...........

 

[stingray56funk]

That is what happens when you give too much money to someone who already had problems before their music took off. People will forgive her, forget about it, kiss her a$$, and move on. Just like Spears. Rediculous!

 

[Jazz Ad]

That was ridiculous. She is truely one of the most talentless individuals ever to get near a microphone!

You're kidding right ?
She can be a great singer and performer, just way too high most of the time. Junkiness does that.

 

[The Mock Turtle Regulator]

they tried to make me sing the words right- I said nurrr, nurr, bleeurgh......

 

[mrniceguy715]

wow, and i love the frank album. but i cant take more than 1 minute of that clip

 

[markjazzbassist]

that sucked.

 

[DWBass]

Was she singing in English?? What was that? What a waste of a good band!

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?

Yep.....



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

 

[thombo]

if you like amy, check out sharon jones and the dap kings... they are the real deal. i am pretty sure that the dap kings were hired as amy's studio band.

 

[wodock]

you are right about Sharon Jone and The Dap Kings they are so good. and Amy Winehouse - I don't know - get her straight and she might even be worse. She's got talent but she's got problems that are destroying it.

I'm not familiar with Amy but to me it seems like she was high/drunk/both as opposed to talentless.

i would have said yes but then i saw a pic of her smiling, and goodness, she has some bad teeth. crooked, ugly, snaggletooth. it just kills it for me. i can't do bad teeth. she smiles, it looks like a box of french fries peeking out.
