So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

...you must be out of your tiny minds!

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?

Well I hope she wasn't disappointing at Nelson Mandela's birthday:rolleyes:

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Never really listened to her can't be doing with how she comes across:( To many talented people who don't come across as needy deserve to be listened to before her IMHO!!

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

I saw it, and she was appalling, but since it's only a few days ago that she was hospitalised with suspected emphysema, I forgive her. Though personally I think it would have been wiser to cancel her gigs this weekend.

She may have been terrible, but she was sporting the biggest beehive in history, which I applaud.:D

I worship the divas you mentioned, and I do rate her right up there with them, and she most certainly can sing live, as can be seen from her appearance at Glastonbury last year.

Hmmm...a bit better, but still a silly little girl playing at being a diva.

She couldn't hold a candle to THIS lady...

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

i'm with wynonie on this to me shes n over-rated slapper.:rolleyes:

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

No comparison is there?? Think I must have missed something if folks think Amy Winehouse can sing!!!!

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Come on you are getting carried away..who said she was as good as the singers mentioned? but she is entertianing and her musical tastes do come from a period in music you people like... I thinks it's a case of some people trying to bring back the greats..get over it .. they are all dead!

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Her stage performance is awful she jumps about like she has ants in her pants, and I agree sh looks like she needs a good scrub, that Tattoos don't help either, don't know why people rave about her, so at the mandella concert she was pathetic

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Can I just ask, who is 'you lot'?

Am I part of 'you lot', or am I to be excused because I haven't paid her much attention?

Music is a different thing to all of us, there are many types that I do enjoy and there are others that have me reaching for the off switch on my radio.

If someone enjoys a different type of music to mine, that doesn't automatically mean it isn't music it just means it isn't to my taste.

If however I am to be lumped into the generalisation of 'you lot', am I to take it that this is because I enjoy a wide range of 'good' music or because I obviously wouldn't know a good tune even if I listened at 120 decibels?

:)

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

By "you lot" I meant the many Accywebbers who rate Winehouse.

If you haven't paid her much attention you've had a lucky escape!

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Caught a bit of her on Glastonbury last night, I kept expecting her to fall over being as she couldn't walk in a straight line.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Average musical talent, spotlighted due to poor choices in personal life.I`ll take Kylie any day :-)

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

She has a very unique voice which on some songs sounds amazing. But I bought her album based on the one song that I knew at the time and thought the rest of the album was absolute rubbish. I wasn't impressed! I listened to it once and gave it away to a friend.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

I cant stand the girl and seeing footage of her at Glastenbury stumbling all over the stage and a heavy holding her up.did nothing to make me think otherwise.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Well I Think shes really good, along with andrew loyd webber who also endorsed her by saying she was one of the best singers we have at the moment.
Yes.. I know shes a drug addict and Yes... I agree her Glastonbury performance were really poor and she let herself down behaviour wise but on the whole she is IMO a real good artiste.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

I'm with Wynonie on this, she stummbles along on the wave of soul music and does nothing but kill it IMO:mad:

This is how it should be done,

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

If you'd rather your songstress's to be current then these girls are bang on the money and don't need a slutty attitude and drug problem to promote their tallent.;)

I think her and Potty Pete deserve ech other, they won't spoil another couple

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Im know what you meant Wyn, I didnt think it was worth a reply.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Anybody Know what happened to Soulclub.org cant seem to conect.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

...me neither, Al, seems to have gone off-line, which is a pity...

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Its sadly been off for a few days now, didn't have anything posted up to say it would be offline though.:mad:

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

I never said i liked her:eek:
her music is good..........sometimes:rolleyes:

if ya ask me, she shouldnt be singing untill she rid of the drugs....not a good example to the young generation with her wobbling all over the place...the daft bint!

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

If all publicity is good publicity, she must be doing something right, as this is the fourth thread we've had about her on Accy Web.

That must put her just behind karma.:D

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Sorry Willow I Disagree I love her version of "Valerie" I never liked that song until AW did her version of it.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

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.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

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

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

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 ;)

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Get some meat on yer bones lass,and wear some sensible shoes on stage,yer might fall over......which is why i was glued to her Glasto set.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

i'm with ya both on this, perhaps reasons could be there aint much about these days:confused: plus theres awards these days fer many more things than used to be?:confused: it sure beats the crap out of me.:confused:

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

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!).

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

Right behind you mate.

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

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

Re: So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...
 

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.
