I couldn't give a shit that she died because of drugs, yeah it's tragic but what's more tragic is how early it was. If you say that it's stupid to be upset then you may as well be a nazi! She had such a soulful voice that made me cry when I was only 14, I believe this song and that's more than I could say for Beyonce or Alicia Keys.
@EllaRoseX Is it because Amy seemed to sing about vulnerability a lot whereas Beyonce, say, sang a lot about being strong? Different emotion for sure, but Beyonce sang about that just as convincingly.
A fine rendition. I used to think that she was just copying the styles of the singers she admired and simply doing it very well. Then again, the best singers make very good mimicks(Eno said that). I remember this when originally broadcast and thinking "Thank God she held it together for this show". She simply did not have the professional metal to maintain a huge career when she sold 9 million copies. Beyonce or Alicia Keys, for example, could. Not Amy. Artistry does not come into it.
@LaSerpentaCanta I do not know if bringing back the feel of artists from way back is that new in the grand scheme of things. No one else doing that? Okay, but as I said before, the point is ARTISTRY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!! You can be the most creative artist around and still be the least professional. Compared to Amy, Beyonce and Alicia seemed to have such a laser focus on their careers that no amount of drug/alcohol or ANY other demon etxra-curricular activity would stand in their way.
@candelise You're kind of missing the point if you think a 'laser focus on your career' is somehow an artistic virtue. I actually happen to think almost the opposite: the more focused on a 'career' someone is, the less the ability tends to be to connect in a meaningful way through your art.
@fredsepp I never said that a laser focus on your career was an artistic virtue. There are two sides that you should have, or would help. One is the artistic, sensitive side and the other that does not allow a reputation to show up drunk or unable to do what is expected of you. An episode of 'Ugly Betty' had Adele on the show as the entertainment at a fashion party. Betty says to a work associate 'this show has to be perfect, this is Adele we're dealing with, not Amy Winehouse!'
Jools Holland was right, Amy's voice was one of the greatest of all time. This performance was so magical it came from out of this world.
Amy will always have her detractors because of the addictions which blighted her life, but she was blessed with a talent so big it was difficult to bear. She felt everything so deeply that she was constantly on an edge, but it was beautiful to see the little girl in Amy after this monumental performance.
God Bless You Amy. May He keep you safe in His arms.
jesus...a footballer gets abused no end bcos he has an affair and is meant to be a role model. This scag basically fucks herself up wiv drugs, but wait, she OK, bcos she can sing and now this is meant to be tragic. bye bye.
@BoryRF She never tried to be a rolemodel, a footballer is paid millions and is contractually obliged to be a rolemodel and avoid holding their club in disrepute.
@BoryRF i'm sorry, SHE JUST DIED. she has family and friends and fans who all care about her, just because you are a no talent dipshit who thinks that cheating is okay doesn't mean you can be so fucking disrespectful. HOW SICK CAN YOU GET?
you couldn't hear a pin drop while she was singing amazing.

@candelise In spite of her having influences from the past, Amy brought something new to the table and is a decidedly modern artist.
Beyonce and Alicia, well they are nothing new.

Hoy 23 de julio de 2011 ha muerto AMY WINEHOUSE
¿Por qué?
De verdad que nadie de su entorno la pudo tender una mano
Era un angel, tan dañado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alguien bueno que se va
¿Por qué os molesta tanto la sensibilidad?
Gracias AMY, GRACIAS GRACIAS Y MIL VECES GRACIAS POR TODO LO QUE ME DISTE
Y ahora se feliz
