So You Lot Like Amy Winehouse?...

Wynonie Harris · 28-06-2008, 22:19

...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?

I cant be doing with the lass, irrespective of her vocal talents, good or bad. She always looks like she needs a good scrub to me.
Did you see her lash out at anyone as this recent News report suggests - Amy Winehouse 'lashes out' at fan

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

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!!

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.

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.

Wynonie Harris · 28-06-2008, 23:43

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

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

BERNADETTE · 29-06-2008, 00:42

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

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!

jaysay · 29-06-2008, 10:41

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

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?

Wynonie Harris · 29-06-2008, 12:50

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!

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.
