That's a bit rich. She's a married woman, with no known history of promiscuity.

People were probably as rude and dismissive forty years ago of that big haired, cross eyed, big nosed, ingenue, that you love so much.:D

Re: Amy Winehouse

I don't know why I dislike her, but I do. I'm not that keen on her singles but I've heard worse. Perhaps I've just been subconsciously hijacked by the media into feeling antagonistic towards her. Dislike is not reasonable, like the guy who gets on you nerves in the chippy queue just by being there. Or is that just me being paranoid??

Re: Amy Winehouse

I love her but, you get the feeling she is not quite on this planet, and I am always surprised when she gets through a performance.

Re: Amy Winehouse

Thanks. Never heard Monkey Man before. I always was a Ska fan, so enjoyed that.

I think she is sooo good. Her voice just connects with something deep in my soul, the way Billie Holiday does.

I love Billie Holiday! We should have a thread about her next.I often listen to the album 'The Legend of Billie Holiday'.That ole devil called love' is my favourite song,I also like 'There is no greater love.'There are no Billie Holiday songs I don't like though:D

Did you ever see Diana Ross in the film-bio of Billie Holiday?

No I've never seen that film.I've got several cds and I read the book about her life.There was a play about her recently at the Bolton Octagon,I would have loved to go to that but couldn't make it,I bet it was very good.:)

Re: Amy Winehouse

I think Amy Winehouse is one of those artists that always gives something extra when playing live, which is why I've never quite cought on to her music before.

Maybe it's just me, but her recordings and videos seem over-produced and plastic packaged for the mainstream, whereas her live set sounds more like a late sixties soul act [when she's almost sober!] which is why I love it.
