Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
ok , I've been reading about this 'singer' on various news websites .........someone explain to me the attraction ......I've You-tubed her videos to see what all the fuss is about ......and in my opinion she sucks .. Bigtime......the music is a rip off of the type of stuff Nina Simone did 40 years ago only Nina did it better , the videos i watched/listened to reminded me of the cheap cover singles you could buy in Woolworths on the Embassy lable in the late 50s and early 60s ...................ok , I'm approaching 'old git' status .....but come on folks , she has nothing new to offer , Marianne Faithfull after 40 years on Heroin is producing better music than this disaster.
Just an opinion  |

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
Love her or hate her, she must have something about that provokes a reaction, as she has already inspired two other threads.

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
No, i can't see what folk rave about her for...but then I am in the 'apprentice fogey's' age group now so maybe that accounts for it.

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
I loved Back to Black so bought the album but have to say that it was a real disappointment. Very over rated I believe.

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
Never heard anything by her, so I've just been having a listen on Youtube and, yes, I agree with you, SJ, a third-rate Nina Simone. Rehab sounds like a Northern Soul record...a very bad one.

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
dont think she should even be classed as a singer, third-rate is being kind.

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
In a music world of manufactured blandness, I still applaud her attempt at uniqueness.
In a world of Pussycat Dolls, she's a manky old alley cat, and I like her for that. If I were a recording artist, I'd much rather be compared to a second rate Nina Simone, than be a first rate Christina Aguilera.

Re: Amy Winehouse...whats the attraction
Being a "music producer" I can tell you the attraction. She has a very good voice, in that it's strong and it can carry a song very well with little instruments, plus she has a pretty good vocal range. This being said, I still think that she is an eyesore to look at and I'm not a particular fan of her style of jazz. So although she is talented, she doesn't use her talent in a way that gives me any joy or pleasure....
She really needs to lay off the smack and booze a little doesn't she? Hope this helps, John
