Jaysay, I don't think Pete Doherty and her are an item...she is married to Blake Civil-Fielder(or some such name)...who is currently in Pentonville for being up to no good.

Can't be doing with the daft mare; would rather plunge my head in a bucket of whelks than listen to her yowling.

If the tabloids are to be believed, one journo asked the Zutons about their cover version of "Valerie", which, to their credit they handled well.

Bit like Otis and Aretha revisited? RESPECT ;)

I'd never thought much of her, but admittedly I'd only heard a couple of her songs, so I thought I'd give her a chance by watching her Glastonbury performance.

As I watched her stumbling through her act, piping away in her flat, weak, toneless voice, I realised that she was far, far worse than even I had imagined.

Obviously, the likes of Aretha, Dusty and Ella leave her standing, but I could name any number of unknown female singers currently toiling away in small clubs who could blow her off stage.

You lot are easily pleased, aren't you?


I'm with you Wyn !!....but how do you reconcile much of the vitriol hurled at Ms Winehouse in most of our postings with.....

'Feb 2008 saw Amy Winehouse honoured with 5 of the US Recording Academy’s most prestigious awards: Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best New Artist, Song of the Year (Rehab) and Record of the Year (Rehab) at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. This incredible haul makes Amy the first ever British female artist to win 5 Grammys in one night and sees her join Lauryn Hill (1998), Alicia Keys (2001), Norah Jones (2002) and Beyonce (2003) in the elite band of female artists who have won 5 awards in one evening.'...

Someone...Somewhere must really dig her act !.
(Alfred.E..just can't get his head round it!! ).

Keep on Rockin'

Grammys, shmammys...I could name you dozens of female vocalists, currently working both here and in the States who could blow the lot of 'em off stage. Ruby Turner, Connie Lush, Patricia Scott, Shirley Johnson...unfortunately, they don't have the hype and glamorous/interestingly wasted image (delete whichever applicable) to attract attention. The day I let the media dictate to me who I should and shouldn't like is the day I give up on music (as I'm sure both of you would agree!).

To be quite honest Wynonie there are a lot of artistes who are far better than the likes of Winehouse and the like, they just don't get the hype of the major record lables, mores the pity

Thought you might agree, Al and Jaysay...a few more ladies who I've seen recently...Sugar Pie DeSanto, Barbara Lynn, Ruby Andrews...all ladies in their sixties and all of 'em could wipe the floor with Winehouse and her ilk.
