And so what if she sounds a bit like Ella or Dinah, two of best jazz singers there ever were. She was only 27, for Pete's sake! But her timing is uniquely Amy, pure unadulterated jazz. What a loss.
@cliffbunsam Oh yes...Her "real" stuff is great. Her radio stuff was nowhere near her best. Her style is rooted in classical jazz music....thats why I loved her music so much!
Sometimes, the greatest jazz singers in the world are "messed up", like Billie Holiday, Anita O'Day, Dinah Washington and so on. It's up to them to straighten themselves out- IF they can. O'Day could, Billie couldn't, Dinah wouldn't. Amy...I'm not sure.
All I've ever heard about Amy Winehouse is all the druggie stories and the jokes. I never heard her sing until now. She is something special! I hope to God she'll survive her life and keep singing.

This is terrible, I typically don't mind Amy Winehouse and Someone to Watch Over Me is one of my favorite Gershwin tunes, but this is majorly dissapointing.

Wow! Who knew she could sing like this? I only heard the crap of hers on top 40 radio. Her Jazz vocal styling is shockingly AWESOME!
