Elissa Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 which counts as an interpolation of "Ain't No Mountain" rather than a true sample. Quite right. Quote
mjzee Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 For those of you not keeping up with the tabloids: Desperate Plea by Amy's Mother Quote
Alexander Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 I'm listening to "Back to Black" even as I write this. It's a real pity that's she's going to die so young. She's really quite talented. Quote

Elissa Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 Clink. One can only hope the suicide pact is just nasty gossip or doesn't pan out. Must be difficult to have pop star idols these days, eh. Quote
RDK Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 At least in jail they might force her to eat something... Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 i'm not a fan amy winehouse entered rehab in the past few days Quote
Christiern Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 She's no Ruth Olay. OTOH, maybe she is. More like Ruth Oy vey What I have heard so far instilled in me an urgent desire..... ...to hit the STOP button. Seriously I was ever so unimpressed and felt that I had heard it all before, only performed better. So, to answer the original question: Quote

Noj Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Late to the party, but I got Back To Black last night and I really like it, especially track two. I hope she works her problems out and continues to blossom as an artist. Quote
Big Al Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Seriously I was ever so unimpressed and felt that I had heard it all before, only performed better. I heard that "Back to Rehab" song on the radio, but heard it from the middle of the song to the end. I thought I was hearing a bad Ronettes outtake when I heard the famous chorus. Yeesh! Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 count me in the camp! i think she is quite talented. i like the edge to her voice and i love her phrasing. Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 her "frank" cd has been in rotation in my car for 4 days now! Quote
Christiern Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 She's lucky to have you. The more I hear her perform, the more I feel she represents a triumph for hype. Quote
mikeweil Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 She's lucky to have you. The more I hear her perform, the more I feel she represents a triumph for hype. My thoughts exactly. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 i have a hard time understanding her..... Quote
jlhoots Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 She's lucky to have you. The more I hear her perform, the more I feel she represents a triumph for hype. She has me too, as you know from prior discussion. Quote
Bright Moments Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Double blessed! listen to both cds - she does an excellent "moody's mood for love" and she sounds a wee bit like billie! who knows chris - you too might become a fan! Quote
catesta Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I'd have to say I'm in the "I don't understand all the hype" camp. Quote
Guest bluenote82 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) I'm not a fan of vocals and I surely don't understand the hype surrounding this Amy Winehouse lady, but if ever want to hear vocals I'll listen to Shirley Horn or Diana Krall, because I like their voices the best.

Uncle Skid Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Seriously I was ever so unimpressed and felt that I had heard it all before, only performed better. I heard that "Back to Rehab" song on the radio, but heard it from the middle of the song to the end. I thought I was hearing a bad Ronettes outtake when I heard the famous chorus. Yeesh! As usual, I'm very late to the party. As with the Sharon Jones party, I'm glad I eventually showed up. I'm pretty much oblivious to all the hype that surrounds her, and couldn't care less about it. Big Al, you need to reconsider: "Back to Rehab" is one of the weaker tunes on this record, IMHO. I don't listen to the radio much, but "You Know I'm No Good" is a much better single. More importantly: three songs in a row: "Back in Black", "Love is a Losing Game", and "Tears Dry on Their Own" is some seriously good pop. Count me in the "she's got talent" camp. In many ways, this record reminds me of this earlier discussion: What? No thread on the Dana Owens album. Certainly not the same "vibe", but, like "The Dana Owens Album", there's some stuff that really "works" on this record, at least for me. Quote
