Every song a different interpretation..such a mental power judging each time for the best rendition of every different song..highly imaginative and voluminous to develop something unique.. And all this, despite the addiction eroding her brain cells. Just imagine what her maximum would be without that effect
This is a fabulous version of this song. I love hearing Amy sing. I love the way she feels the song and has so much honest emotion to her work She was one of the most original musicians in a long time. I think Ella is great but she has nothing to do with this interpretation. I don't know why she is up for discussion or comparison to Amy. If you don't like Amy's version don't listen to it but she was one of the greatest artist of all time. It's just sad we lost her so young
the scat is actually one of my favorite parts of the song, it musically makes sense, and I think its the definition of a scat. combined sounds and syllables in any way you likes to make them, but again musically correct. Love Amy. Gone so young, young lad. Loved your music, still do , always will.
Ella's version was different and great without a doubt, but to make the song current and appealing to another generation, Amy is instrumental in re-introducing a T. Monk (?) Jazz Classic to a new generation. The Horn guy in the background sounds so much like Bashia's guy.
Dam! This lady can sang anything/anyway. I'd not mine hearing Amy and Ella featured together at the HEAVEN'S GATE party. I know I'd be resting (partying) in peace. Thank you Amy...Thank you Ella.

What an amateurish shambles. When are we going to be free of these cheap, tallentless, fame school, X-factor, overnight discovery nothings. Don't you people realise there are thousands of really tallented singers out there right now who deserve your support?
And very few of them sound like a 20's car horn crossed with a food mixer! You detect soul in this voice we're hearing? It's probably sole.. Dover Sole.. in the blender...
What the hell is this? I just got directed here after listening to Julie London's beautiful version of this. Her voice was silky pure like honey. What a flamin' contrast! This is as pleasant as listening to a road drill!!
@CuddleyBear69 I love the contrast between "cuddley bear" and all the weepingly furious abuse. It's the first time this Amy fan ever heard this track and I think it's terrible. But the producer deserves as much blame as the vocalist. Amy was often, in fact, more often than not, an uneven performer. The disease hit her too early for her to develop. The producer, though, has no excuse.
@CuddleyBear69 Wow, it never fails! Whenever I find a really disgruntled writer, I always check their channel. And, sure as hell, they NEVER have any music saved! So, they just come here to piss and moan. That amazes me. Talk about fucked up lives.
i can dig the homage but the music is a bit lame, uninspired. lazy even. It sounds like an early 90's we just discovered mixing music sound. it could of been done better. let me text amy and let her know, oh wait. damn.
Neither Monk nor Miles added vocal cover versions. I prefer Miles's version of Autumn leaves over most instrumental versions, but how does that compare with my favourite vocal version (Eva Cassidy's if anyone's interested)

An unusual version . I was brought up listening to the Ella version.no doubt so was Amy.

LOVE her vocal. Hate the instrumental arrangement. I'd like to smack the annoying little "poppa-poppa-pop" percussionist upside the head. LOL It's like horrible 70s pimped out cool jazz. But yeah, Amy was the best. Her life was way too fucking short.

I'm a jazz player and I actually really like this version. Sure Ella Fitzgerald's version was better from a purist standpoint. But this isn't really meant to be jazz, it's just an homage to it. However, you can listen to her voice and detect more soul in it than 90% of the garbage in the world today and that's really all jazz is isn't it? This is just a talented singer paying her respects to a genre of music that helped define her as an artist. The "scat solo" is a little painful though. :)
@arkofsax jazz purist my ass. ella would not be definitive if you ever, in fact, listened to jazz. First of all, as any casual listener must know, the tune is Monk's, but is credited to three authors.... .ella, talent though she surely head, has nothing .NOTHING, to do with this.
@chrisco2323 I think the only thing that has nothing to do with this is your mentioning the authors of the tune- no one cares what little facts you know about jazz history etc... The point remains that I think it's safe to say that concerning a VOCAL VERSION of the tune, Ella's is probably what most people would wind up listening to first. I also never mentioned a single thing about Ella's talent so that puts it to +2 for irrelevancy.
I remember viewing this a few years and seeing so many dislikes and negative comments about how this version didn't compare to the original...to all of u who felt that way...eat a dick... i hate when jazz jans think they kno everthing about music and sounds...especially white ppl. Amy had more soul than a lil bit and I'm gna miss her.
@tenortones2 To answer your question it seems to me (a young black man raised in tha south) that white ppl tend to annoint themselves as certified crirtics on every form of entertainment. They will bring a person up to super stardom and as soon as that person strays away from the set standard they try to bring them down in flames. Despite if the person is a true talent or not. Ex.'s: Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Tiger Woods, now Amy Winehouse. These criticisms mainly come from white ppl
@toomer3000 comment is hilarious. LMAO!!!- 'those evil whites'! Remember, whites do not control the sick minded hollywood media which does in fact exploit and misrepresent both black and whites. M.Jackson knew about these people-people like Sumner Rothtein [owner of Viacom/MTV conglomerate]-and was going public. Sadly, he got taken out because of this.
@tenortones2 Sadly I prbly would have to consider myself racist to some degree not based on what the media does but based on my personal experiences with certain white ppl, and the history of this country which the guilty party would have u believe is no longer relevant but is now more so than ever considering that equality still doesn't exist and is nowhere close to being n existence in America...Now back to Amy Winehouse all she had to do to get back n the media's good graces is complete a
@cjkayslay1989 You are extremely cold hearted. You dont know SHIT about her music, or her as a person. Only a mean hearted person can say what you said. Some truly sick ppl say the stupidest shit online.
@angeleyes86ebby ...and often that is the only place they'd dare say it. Convictions that must be stated while faceless...really aren't convictions worth noting. Some people have a lot to say, but nothing worth saying. This world isn't ugly because it has to be...it is because these mindsets exist.
Hi everyone! I made some videos with my versions of some songs of Amy Winehouse ... can find them as LOSING LOVE IS A GAME-MY VERSION BACK TO BLACK VERSION-MI,-MI VERSION REHAB AND MRS JONES and ME-MI VERSION
@MrRamsback28 hey mrramsitto the back: different version,,amys version,,,,Ella had the experience....let this bitch get some years in, she'll knock your ram back.....lol
Amy doesn't have the ocal control that Ella had. With AMy's demons, I doubt that she'll ever come to terms with her natural talent and the disipline it takes to produce music whihc transends the pop genre to become truely classic. Amy has the potential but IMHO she has more character than technique. Listen to Ella's version and again to Amy. Listen to the vocal control when words aren't being sung.
She did her own thing to the song and you have to respect that...BUT on the other hand when you dig deep in to jazz roots ( which are the blues) this shows NO skill on what jazz is actually about.
what the hell is this ? o.O - my Favorite Standard Picked Over & ruined smh - the technique is awful , the tempo is even worse , takes the beauty away from it
@MyohoSound Just be happy that someone is singing an ella song in her style..now a days, its nothing but sullshit on the radio. ...then when a real musican leaves the earth they ridicule them. But let "Rick Ross" die...they will idolize his sorry fat ass!
@PurplephiHaze007 oh my goodnes....thk u for saying that! cuz I was so hurt for her ...nobody cared...even when she died! I was like "where's all the specials on amy! nothing....not a movie..nada! sad! and she had a problem...but no real "wtf happened to amy winehouse specials! smh
@PurplephiHaze007 oh my goodnes....thk u for saying that! cuz I was so hurt for her ...nobody cared...even when she died! I was like "where's all the specials on amy! nothing....not a movie..nada! sad! and she had a problem...but no real "wtf happened to amy winehouse specials! smh
@PurplephiHaze007 Ya - I agree 100% - I know that this will piss off a lot of people but frankly so many rappers who die should just be flushed like turds and not lamented. ODB and Tupac come to mind. BTW anyone who disagrees - I gotta ask ya (or I gotta axe ya) would you want a guy like these two go out with your sister?
@kirksteel I might not want my sister to date ODB or Tupac but I wouldn't want my brother to date Amy Winehouse either, and I can still appreciate the genius of her music. Also, you should probably work on your inner racism, it's preventing you from enjoying a lot of really cool things, like ODB's and Tupac's music.
I like it. My only thing is that some of the most beautiful and gut-wrenching harmonies of the tune are ignored, and it's clearly not an artistic choice. It's clearly a lack of ability to deal with the changes. The notes she sings on the words "after sundown" are actually wrong, and not in a good way to my ear. Amy has one of the greatest voices of our generation. I want to hear her sing this tune right. A little chromaticism can be a beautiful thing.
'Jazz', 'pop', 'commercial'...these are meaningless & constricting labels. I'd prefer to hear an artist take liberties with an established standard and make it true to themselves. Guess what? That's true to the spirit of so-called "jazz". Did Bird & Monk play tracing paper versions of Gershwin/Porter songs? The criteria that many 'jazz purists' use to dismiss anything out of their ball park, are the very restrictions that many of their idols challenged in order to do what they did.
@heru1966 The challengers never like being challenged themselves. Just look at the so-called "rebels' of the fine arts; they're worse than their parents.
@James2010May This is the thing about the arts in general. The maverick become imitated to the point where they're no longer so unique. The ideas become 'norms', part of the established tradition. Which another generation will then react against. But innovation doesn't negate the tradition, it extends it. We can't have one without the other.
@chicazup Why don't you use Google and look up how long she's been off drugs? She's been off them for quite sometime now. It's sad how people have hardly let everyone know she's been off drugs. It's like people love to jump on someone's negativity, it's sad. Sad world I live in.
@GaberDutzie ~ THANK YOU....at last..somebody who has actually kept tabs on Amy's music, self, besides me. Seems everybody gets on the "Ooh shes a druggy band wagon". Amy is beautiful, just built a home for herself...and has been touring. Take the time to find current pix of her. You don't look the way she looks and still use the pipe. It just doesnt happen. I'm so happy she made it thru the rain......(bunch of glass house mo fo's)...............ANYway.......cheers....:o)
@chicazup She ain't dead, shit! You are acting as if she was buried or something. The girl is still alive, let's not talk about her like she's lost the ability to live cuz she definitely hasn't. And if she doesn't 'save us from the shadow' with singing, maybe she could do it with something else. People have more than one talent.
I think this version is brilliant ! Amy captures exactly the vibe and spirit of Monk. . Wasn't it Monk himself that said (after being asked if he liked Country music) : There are only 2 types of music: good and bad. So true -
f she would have recorded this classic song without that terrible drum track, and stylized it with her excellent voice, it would have been a memorable, powerful rendition. As it is, it's painful to listen to (those drums!). She has talent, but the producer on this track should be knocked in the head. A straight out, slower, acoustic jazz rendition is what her voice deserves - not this forgettable mess.
All Holds Barred or bared, She is more creative, than most, past present future music , moving with easy through and combining Old BUT NEW, Now is forever right Amy!
I know everyone wants to be open to accepting this, and blah blah. Personally..I'm sorry. After watching Ella sing this, hearing Wes play it on guitar and Miles play it on trumpet..
This just sounds like utter garbage. Hate me and give me thumbs down all you want, I find this to be trash. Flame me for not liking what you do.
She's not that bad.But she's certainly not that good. With all those versions that you mentioned, plus a whole lot more, did she really think that she was improving on any of them? That this one was really needed?
Man I love amy and i love this cover. To everyone saying this is bad, what other artist have you heard that can compare to this? There is no one in her age group that can compare to the talent that this girl has. Think about it, she won more grammy's that any other artist in her age group at the AMERICAN grammys and the album that she won for, she made while she was high and drunken. What does that say about AMERICAN ARTISTS? And yes I am from America.
@mrsvirgo05 hm it is true that she won Grammys but so have a lot of other undeserving artists. There actually are quite a lot of women her age who compare, and surpass, her talent; they are out there, maybe you just haven't heard of them? Janelle Monae? Jennifer Hudson? She's got a good voice with unique qualities, but she isn't, in my opinion at least, at the top of this class.
Though people who knock her for drinking/doing drugs should remember, so did a lot of the greats.
@lovelymoonmelody-I just happen to be a fan of miss winehouse. I know there are other vocalist out there who have a damn good voice. Adele, Corrine Bailey Rae, Duffy, the list goes on. I love her because her music speaks to me. I have all of her cd's and will continue to support her in her career. When she recorded this song she was in her late teens and to me her voice was hella good to be so young. And I totally think that Back to Black deserved all the grammys that it won.
@lovelymoonmelody the difference between Amy and the women you mentioned is that she has the whole package... while J. Hud has an amazing voice, her album was less than impressive.. Janelle Monae is amazing, but lacks the mainstream appeal to ever be a major artist.. while this song is a bad example (she was 19), Amy has an amazing voice which sounds great live also, she makes great albums, does great preformances, and writes her own lyrics which appeal to many people.. she deserved every Grammy
The line of her vocal is quite excellent at times, but there's a number of points where she doesn't really feel connected with the emotion of the lyric. Why is that? It's not like she has no life experience to draw on.
.
I can't help noticing that, although she's English, she affects a pretty OTT american accent.
.
I would like to hear what it would do to the emotional engagement, if she sung in her own accent.
I can see where there is concern. I mean, there is a host of various styles one can use. The only question is...everyone may have a different answer...what to use
It is the perfect bridge our Jazz additives music between and the contemporary sounds of our reality, Who can sound like Monk or Herbie ?? or Whoever I agree
I can appreciate all versions of the song. My first introduction to the song was Jazzmins Sullivans version so ofcorse that one is my personal fav. Monk is legend he and Ella made the mold for us to build on. Can't wait to hear who does something else with the concept.
A new take on an old classic. She is talented just wish her talent could get back to music. New way to get people to go look at the originals and decide what they like best. Nothing wrong with that.
In his autobiog, Miles spoke about how you could adapt the music of Monk to the rhythms of the present day. Now, what Miles would have thought of this, who can say? Though this is an example of what he was talking about and I really like it. I commend her originality. Maybe people who dislike it would prefer a version "like Monk's" or Herbie's or whoever. Please remember: jazz itself took the influences of other genres with a healthy disregard for 'tradition' - so does this. And that's good.
If you don't like it, fair enough. But I would personally rather someone took a 'standard' and did something besides a 'photocopy' of it. This to me is the spirit of jazz. I can imagine the purists who loved Cole Porter/Gershwin etc absolutely hating what Bird and Monk did with the originals. Looking at some of the comments, we have the same mentality amongst jazz fans (or 'Jazz Police', in some cases). Funny how what was once cutting edge becomes a part of the 'status quo'
you betta know ur shit, i havent posted a comment because i dont have time for verbal warfare with perfect strangers. but i really appreciate this version and i see it actually introducing jazz to the rap and hip-hop community that didnt know that hip-hop came out of be-bop, which came from jazz. this song is a toatl 180 degree turn! say what you like about her personal life but when it comes to music she is really good. just look at what she did with nas' - made you look on her track in my bed
How wonderful it is she has so many REAL lovers around..so persistant.
And many of them are extraordinary people, maybe loved a singer only ONCE in their life.

I remember viewing this a few years and seeing so many dislikes and negative comments about how this version didn't compare to the original...to all of u who felt that way...eat a dick... i hate when jazz jans think they kno everthing about music and sounds...especially white ppl. Amy had more soul than a lil bit and I'm gna miss her.

@tenortones2 To answer your question it seems to me (a young black man raised in tha south) that white ppl tend to annoint themselves as certified crirtics on every form of entertainment. They will bring a person up to super stardom and as soon as that person strays away from the set standard they try to bring them down in flames. Despite if the person is a true talent or not. Ex.'s: Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Tiger Woods, now Amy Winehouse. These criticisms mainly come from white ppl

@toomer3000 comment is hilarious. LMAO!!!- 'those evil whites'! Remember, whites do not control the sick minded hollywood media which does in fact exploit and misrepresent both black and whites. M.Jackson knew about these people-people like Sumner Rothtein [owner of Viacom/MTV conglomerate]-and was going public. Sadly, he got taken out because of this.

Amy doesn't have the ocal control that Ella had. With AMy's demons, I doubt that she'll ever come to terms with her natural talent and the disipline it takes to produce music whihc transends the pop genre to become truely classic. Amy has the potential but IMHO she has more character than technique. Listen to Ella's version and again to Amy. Listen to the vocal control when words aren't being sung.

She did her own thing to the song and you have to respect that...BUT on the other hand when you dig deep in to jazz roots ( which are the blues) this shows NO skill on what jazz is actually about.

I like it. My only thing is that some of the most beautiful and gut-wrenching harmonies of the tune are ignored, and it's clearly not an artistic choice. It's clearly a lack of ability to deal with the changes. The notes she sings on the words "after sundown" are actually wrong, and not in a good way to my ear. Amy has one of the greatest voices of our generation. I want to hear her sing this tune right. A little chromaticism can be a beautiful thing.
jetzine00 1 year ago
'Jazz', 'pop', 'commercial'...these are meaningless & constricting labels. I'd prefer to hear an artist take liberties with an established standard and make it true to themselves. Guess what? That's true to the spirit of so-called "jazz". Did Bird & Monk play tracing paper versions of Gershwin/Porter songs? The criteria that many 'jazz purists' use to dismiss anything out of their ball park, are the very restrictions that many of their idols challenged in order to do what they did.

f she would have recorded this classic song without that terrible drum track, and stylized it with her excellent voice, it would have been a memorable, powerful rendition. As it is, it's painful to listen to (those drums!). She has talent, but the producer on this track should be knocked in the head. A straight out, slower, acoustic jazz rendition is what her voice deserves - not this forgettable mess.

Man I love amy and i love this cover. To everyone saying this is bad, what other artist have you heard that can compare to this? There is no one in her age group that can compare to the talent that this girl has. Think about it, she won more grammy's that any other artist in her age group at the AMERICAN grammys and the album that she won for, she made while she was high and drunken. What does that say about AMERICAN ARTISTS? And yes I am from America.

@mrsvirgo05 hm it is true that she won Grammys but so have a lot of other undeserving artists. There actually are quite a lot of women her age who compare, and surpass, her talent; they are out there, maybe you just haven't heard of them? Janelle Monae? Jennifer Hudson? She's got a good voice with unique qualities, but she isn't, in my opinion at least, at the top of this class.
Though people who knock her for drinking/doing drugs should remember, so did a lot of the greats.

I love her because her music speaks to me. I have all of her cd's and will continue to support her in her career. When she recorded this song she was in her late teens and to me her voice was hella good to be so young. And I totally think that Back to Black deserved all the grammys that it won.

@lovelymoonmelody the difference between Amy and the women you mentioned is that she has the whole package... while J. Hud has an amazing voice, her album was less than impressive.. Janelle Monae is amazing, but lacks the mainstream appeal to ever be a major artist.. while this song is a bad example (she was 19), Amy has an amazing voice which sounds great live also, she makes great albums, does great preformances, and writes her own lyrics which appeal to many people.. she deserved every Grammy

The line of her vocal is quite excellent at times, but there's a number of points where she doesn't really feel connected with the emotion of the lyric. Why is that? It's not like she has no life experience to draw on.
.
I can't help noticing that, although she's English, she affects a pretty OTT american accent.

I would like to hear what it would do to the emotional engagement, if she sung in her own accent.

In his autobiog, Miles spoke about how you could adapt the music of Monk to the rhythms of the present day. Now, what Miles would have thought of this, who can say? Though this is an example of what he was talking about and I really like it. I commend her originality. Maybe people who dislike it would prefer a version "like Monk's" or Herbie's or whoever. Please remember: jazz itself took the influences of other genres with a healthy disregard for 'tradition' - so does this. And that's good.
heru1966 1 year ago 63
If you don't like it, fair enough. But I would personally rather someone took a 'standard' and did something besides a 'photocopy' of it. This to me is the spirit of jazz. I can imagine the purists who loved Cole Porter/Gershwin etc absolutely hating what Bird and Monk did with the originals. Looking at some of the comments, we have the same mentality amongst jazz fans (or 'Jazz Police', in some cases). Funny how what was once cutting edge becomes a part of the 'status quo'

you betta know ur shit, i havent posted a comment because i dont have time for verbal warfare with perfect strangers. but i really appreciate this version and i see it actually introducing jazz to the rap and hip-hop community that didnt know that hip-hop came out of be-bop, which came from jazz. this song is a toatl 180 degree turn! say what you like about her personal life but when it comes to music she is really good. just look at what she did with nas' - made you look on her track in my bed
