QuoteMaybe if she starts making incredible music nothing else will matter
Am I the only person who doesn't give a crap, about what this girl does in her spare time, or what she wears, or what she said about this and that, as long as she keeps making incredible music.... Why should anything else matter???

Maybe this should be merged with the Pete Doherty thread and renamed "Overrated, press created and inebriated"Originally Posted by Pike B

yes she does sound incredibly manly when she sings in that irritating voice of hers....Am I the only person who doesn't give a crap, about what this girl does in her spare time, or what she wears, or what she said about this and that, as long as she keeps making incredible music....

Honestly, it is amazing how many people fall for the British media's hype machine - Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty being the latest in the long line of overrated and overhyped musicians over the pond....

Regardless of her idiotic behaviour she does have a great talent in her singing.

Agree with that, regardless of media hype and her heroin addiction she has talent and can't be dismissed as someone built on the back of the likes of the NME and the Sun.
I personally think she is a fantastic singer, such a powerful voice with little effort. Fantastic
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
well i'm sure it was probably the like of the NME that was hyping her up in the first place...

She is gifted lads. Amazing vocal and lyrics aswell. She is incredible in my opinion, but the media stuff that comes with her is a real shame. My point is, I don't read or listen to any of that crap, I buy her records and let them make my mind up. And my mind says she's class. Forget about the media....
And as for her personal habits.... it's a free world..

Harsh bud, very harsh. Pete Doherty.. I couldn't name one song by the guy. Or tell you of an award he's won. But Amy, listen to her stuff man. It's amazing. And 5 grammies don't lie..

I was a bit dismissive, fair enough. The woman is just over exposed in the press for the wrong reasons.
A Grammy can lie though - Alanis Morrisette has a few!!

ok I couldn't be arsed checking but I'm sure there's some absolute drivel that have won a grammy or 2 in the past, i'm afraid those awards mean sh!te all...

Well it sounds good anyway... Like: 'multi grammy winner Amy Winehouse', rather than, 'Smackhead Amy Winehouse'.... It's all about the music man.. Screw what she does in private. Keith Richards, junkie, lunatic, pirate but he's a legend.. I'm just saying Amy can be too.
in a way I agree with you. I couldn't care less about her personal life, it is all about the music. Its just that I think her music is average at best...

Her first album was average, at best. Her second was good. She still has a long way to go to become a great, but she does have a great voice and good potential. Unfortunately she also has the potential to slip back to just another singer on the jazz/soul/r&b circuit, music-wise.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
To be fair Jagged Little Pill was a great album and would be on a lot of Top 100 lists. It was only after that, that she went up her own arse!
I haven't got Amy's album but every song I've heard off it is very distinctive. Can easily see it being branded a classic for years to come, even more so if something unfortunate happens to her.
Top Breeders recommend drinkfeckarse....
I have to say I would go up a notch on both your estimates there.. First album for me very good, second excellent. And to be honest I can't see her fading. She has that extra something that will see her become an all time great in my opinion. Her lyrics are creative, soulful, at times dark, but always original and her voice is very distinctive. Instantly recognisable. Can't say that about too many solo artists today. Male or female. And in a strange little coincidence, I first discovered her for myself whilst on holiday in Waterford!!!! Happy days......

Never been much into Alanis, but a few of her singles from that album were excellent..

I agree with you about her lyrics and voice, but the last album is out, what, two or three years now and has been peddled to death.
Time to try and follow it up now. I wonder will she go the 'critically acclaimed/change of musical direction' route, or the 'tried and trusted/more of the same' one?

She's in studio at the moment. Rumour has it that it's pretty dark stuff. A lot of the media crap is getting to her, and I guess we're going to hear about it in the album. But yes, I agree, Back To Black is out awhile. Time for album 3 now..
