I only started discovering Amy's music and now I uderstand why her passing was so tradgic. After all these years a decent artist came along with a jazz soul . She had so much potential and talent. RIP <3
Wow, the way she throws herself into this -- and then her soft-voiced 'thank you' at the end -- am I imagining it or can you hear the vulnerability ? I makes me so sad.
music1831 commented on a post i made regarding the purity of amy winehouse's voice...saying her voice sounded strangled. whilst that is his opinion, I strongly disagree..her voice was melodic, her vocal runs were extraordinary and she sang from a very real place. In this particular piece, she perfectly captures each nuance, simplifies each note, and makes it her own. Amy was a jazz singer first and foremost...she was talented and amazing and always will be in my book....thank you.
TO ME, reading some of the negative comments I am reminded by: EVERY BODY HAS AN OPINION . . . why blast someone's admiration of ANYONE . . . . to each his own baby. If you do not care for a singer / actress / enteretainer . . . MOVE ON.
her voice was incredible, explains why so many of you are so jealous :) stick to rihanna, and britney spears, instead of looking up "such a horrible voice"
@LEDinardi In terms of vocal tone, during her later years she was definitely up there with Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen Mcrae etc... and this is coming from a veteran Holiday & Washington fan!
Amy was such a beautiful person n a wonderful singer. Its sad that I only listen to her music after her death. Some people n this world can b so cruel, I truly wish that I could have help her just because a person uses drugs doesn't make them a bad person!!! I am drug-free in we are all equal in god's eyesight !!!
I believe Billie Holiday's tortured spirit was reborn in Amy. Her phrasing reminds me of Billie and her lifestyle does too. Some spirits just were not meant to be with us for very long, but when they leave, we have their music to listen too.

@JMCyoungblood I wish, her parents were so much concerned about their daughter, as you felt bad about them.
A father, who admits, he did not cry and a calmness settled over him, when he got the news by phone. A mother, who comments about her daughter's status as 'It's a matter of time only' .
Do you know, who were concerned? You, me, my friends here greenpostdoc, akanawha, ziggyuno1, sexytracy1000, and other millions on YT and throughout the world.
@OTBASAR You are so right. It seems that her family gave up on her. If you love someone you don't do that. I always think of that video on here where fan is at door for an autograph. She asks him if he would like to come in and talk. He turns her down. I wish I had gotten that opportunity. She was in need of human contact outside of the drug crowd and those taking advantage of her. She was an ordinary girl with extraordinary talent. It is just so sad. I hope she knows we love her.
@akanawha You know, when I watch her videos here, I get so upset..can not describe. It's one of the easiest things in the world, to make a child, but to grow him/her PROPERLY is one of the most difficult duties of a parent.
I would keep such a lovely daughter in velvets!!! to protect against all risks and would always have one eye on her. She was so much mishandled instead of cared for.
The ones responsible should better dig a grave for themselves and get in.
Amy Winehouse clearly loved her parents very much, and they loved her very much too. Anyone who has every gone into emotional shock will know that strange calmness that descends - it is like a self-protective measure against news too terrible to cope with. Amy's mother's words sound like those of someone filled with deep pride in the wonderfulness of their daughter, and she's right to be, Amy was wonderful. I think she would be very hurt to hear people judging her parents.
@sylviewren Being good parents requires first of all, taking correct decisions for the goodness of their daughter. LOVING was NOT in the scope of giving her the liberty of doing whatever she wanted, even risking her LIFE.
For 5 full years all the warnings were badly overlooked. And after the final tragic picture, we can NOT accept the phrase:
''Medical operation was very successful, but unfortunately patient died''.. CAN WE??
Me encanta como se escucha la voz amy en este estilo de canciones,me gustaria que me recomendaran otra cancion en la que Amy este cantando musica de sarah Vaughan, preciosa Amy gracias por dejarnos tu musica hace un poco mas llevadera tu partida.♥♥♥ U_U ♥♥♥
@swdekalb4 I feel you are saying that so you can pick a fight. This is jazz and she is making this song her own. That is what real jazz artists do. It doesn't matter if YOU don't like how she changes it. You cannot BE a disgrace to a jazz song unless you turn it into a fox trot or a polka. Either way, the song itself won't care.
let us not forget that amy winehouse was first and foremost a jazz singer...her voice was so pure, so lyrical so full of emotion we believed every word she ever sang..deeply missed, always remembered...amy winehouse 4eva~ rip
Hear,hear!! Absolutely gorgeous, her singing was here. It's so vibrant, and confident... She owned this song, with a classy swing that moves the heart. Her phrasing is beautiful, and it just makes you want to fall in love with it, she's singing about happiness with respect to love, and we feel it...and want to feel it. She will be missed, truly...
Tony Bennett just called Amy Winehouse the best singer he ever worked with. Better than Ella better than Billie. Piers Morgan show 10/10/11. Wow, what a compliment!

@OTBASAR Yes, there will never be anyone like her. Such a tragic loss, she will never be forgotten. I can not even put into words, how phenomenal her and her voice was, she was an immensely unique person, both her character and her musical ability were one of a kind.
Rest in Peace, Amy, you will forever be in our hearts.
I know what you mean Super, she was a beautiful person, highly unique, sincere, and an individual... this song is so beautiful, and I just happened to come across this, I had no idea she ever sang these, the Boulevard of Broken Dreams is incredible, I hope she recorded it for a record.
@tallgentleman4u OK I get it. you don't like her. Nothing we say will change this version. However, my point about "quietly" refers to the size of the bands playing with the artists you mentioned. Shering, trio or quartet tops. Fitzgerald and Vaughn 5 or 6 pieces Maybe 7. This version is a big band and the singer must compete with a lot of sound. JMHO. Anyway I guess we agree to disagree. Nice talkin to ya.
I don't think this is so much blusey as it is BIG. Blame the arranger or band leader. I love this and it's BIGNESS. Ya know she could have done a whole album of great jazz standards and I don't think anyone would have minded at all.

Don't care for this. If you go back to the George Shearing original and other versions by Fitzgerald, Vaughn, Torme, Yanofsky, this song is a positive, straight jazz song and most have kept it that way. Amy over-sings it and puts too much of a bluesy sound to it. Her voice became increasingly "bluesy" constantly as her addictions physically changed her voice. It's a matter of taste, but listen to other artists and the composer George Shearing.
@aliciamontgomery2011 i like "straight" rendtions and bluesy touches. but this is just good. unbelievable. nitpickin cuz the white girl sings it too bluezy for his tastes. wha!???she swings the shit out of it. it s great. it s good. she holds her own in the company of all those you mentioned.
i never heard her sing jazz before. out of the loop and too late again. RIP a great talent.
@markmarktarmann Don't think I'm "nitpickin" when The others I mentioned are enjoyable to listen to , and this is not. Not just too bluesy, but 'over-sung," overly dramatic, out of sync and at odds with the tempo of the backing musicians. The song hard to even recognize at times. She just trails off at the end into softly speaking the final sentences. Her performance does not hold a candle to the others mentioned. I know it is uncool now to not adore Amy since there is a cultish-like following.

@sue4uall Don't be dissing on my Amy. If you don't like the way she sings this one, I invite you to listen to her sing Teach Me Tonight on Jools. Would like you to critique that one.
@sue4uall she was barely one side or t'other of 20 when this was recorded; cut the girl some slack. I'm a musician and I happen to like the way she bends rhythm. Would she have matured? Who knows? By Back to Black, Amy's hard living cost her the head notes and lung capacity. Maybe it's because I'm older, I much prefer Frank to B2B, and would have been happy to see her make a career of covering the standards, but Amy had other plans. She went her own way, which I do respect.
I love Frank and have been listening daily since her passing. Think her Tony Bennett duet is a fitting bookend. Maybe she was on her way back to jazz and the standards. Too bad we will never know. Love Amy Winehouse.
no prob, @flupachi The very high notes. You hear them in Frank, frequently toward the end of a song. She hit a few E♭s above the staff in Take the Box and some other tunes.
Almost drunken on her concert and i hate her dad, because he actually didn´t support her daughter. He only likes to see her money and i think that is very sad.
But Amy Winehouse you were really great and you could reached more in your very short life.
I write it again..Numerous soul singers unified in a single body. It is as if she has lived all through the jazz era since the very beginning and has all that jazz kit in her brain. I don't know what God is for, if he,she or whatever would not save her for us.
I'll say it again, no one could cover like she did. her phrasing so impeccable. Gosh, I still am not over this. I miss her so much. they broke the mold. Love you always, Amy.
I really wish Amy had sung more classic songs from the Great American Songbook like she did with "Lullaby Of Birdland", "No Greater Love", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "I Should Care", "Round Midnight" and with the upcoming "Body and Soul" duet with legendary Tony Bennett. I would have loved for her to continue singing songs that stemmed from her jazz roots. Maybe if she lived long enough she would have explored that avenue again after her masterpiece album Back To Black. Now we'll never know :(
@MusicLoverBrian1 Man I so agree, she also did teach me tonight if it's any consolation.. I really wanted her to sing lover and so many other songs it really sucks that she's gone
I think Amy had a wonderful personality but, also with the sucesses she only got to enjoy it for a short while. I will always cherish her music she had a wonderful talent I wonder how far the skies the limit they say.....She could of had a great career Love you Amy will Always miss you RIP.......
What strikes me in all her covers of the jazz standards is the joy in her voice and playfulness in her stylings. I don't hear sickness or brokenness. I never paid much attention to Ms Winehouse before she died, since all the press was about her troubles and not her talent. There's no question she could have been this generation's Sarah, or Ella, or Dinah W...RIP dear soul.
@queenoftheuniverse Damn good observation!!! I felt the same way and will always believe this young lady was put on this earth to sing Jazz and then dabble in R&B/Hip Hop!! Amy Winehouse was a damn good Jazz singer no questions about it. The music she wrote, which was good music just seemed to contribute to she unchecked depression/Bi-polar issues.
@marrob357 I heard it suggested that she had borderline personality disorder(BPD), not bipolar. This would make sense, since BPD is marked by extreme fear of abandonment, and I think the breakup with that rat Fielder-Civil and his incarceration did her in. I remember being in a similar place in my early 20s; thank G-d i got thought it and grew a little. Most of us do. Amy's rise and flame-out remind us that no everyone does. (to be continurd...)
@marrob357 (part two) Charlie Parker said, If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn, and I've sometimes thought Amy embodied that, to her peril. Some say her pain made her great, but I think had she found relief, she would have been a different artist, equally and differently great.
@queenoftheuniverse ~ yes Queen..and thats wot kills me,the press & John Q Public, just dragged her over the coals 2 much. She was a very sensitive souL,can you imagine wot it was like 2 read/see/look @ some of the stuff the papers put out? No she wasn't innocent. Having said that, she didn't deserve all the hatred & ugly things said about her. I'm glad u listened 2 her music with an "open" ear & heart. Over 5 yrs ago when I first heard Amy, I thought wot a treasure!! I shall miss her. SQ1

Her song October Song, which she wrote for her canary that died sounds similar to this--on purpose? Clever.

@XCShorty21 Yes, she borrowed from "Lullaby" for the bridge in October song, mentions Sarah Vaughan. Clever and apt. RIP, dear Amy.

@OTBASAR Yes, there will never be anyone like her. Such a tragic loss, she will never be forgotten. I can not even put into words, how phenomenal her and her voice was, she was an immensely unique person, both her character and her musical ability were one of a kind.
Rest in Peace, Amy, you will forever be in our hearts.

I know what you mean Super, she was a beautiful person, highly unique, sincere, and an individual... this song is so beautiful, and I just happened to come across this, I had no idea she ever sang these, the Boulevard of Broken Dreams is incredible, I hope she recorded it for a record.

Hey it's cool to like who you like. If there was only one way to do something how boring would that be. Again, I think it's the arrangement.

@tallgentleman4u I'm not "blaming " anyone. How could anyone sing quietly on this.
mdugand 5 months ago
@mdugand It's not a matter of singing "quietly," it's about singing better than she does. She is over-rated.
tallgentleman4u 5 months ago
@tallgentleman4u OK I get it. you don't like her. Nothing we say will change this version. However, my point about "quietly" refers to the size of the bands playing with the artists you mentioned. Shering, trio or quartet tops. Fitzgerald and Vaughn 5 or 6 pieces Maybe 7. This version is a big band and the singer must compete with a lot of sound. JMHO. Anyway I guess we agree to disagree. Nice talkin to ya.

@mdugand It's not fair to blame the musicians. It's how she sings.
tallgentleman4u 5 months ago
I don't think this is so much blusey as it is BIG. Blame the arranger or band leader. I love this and it's BIGNESS. Ya know she could have done a whole album of great jazz standards and I don't think anyone would have minded at all.

Don't care for this. If you go back to the George Shearing original and other versions by Fitzgerald, Vaughn, Torme, Yanofsky, this song is a positive, straight jazz song and most have kept it that way. Amy over-sings it and puts too much of a bluesy sound to it. Her voice became increasingly "bluesy" constantly as her addictions physically changed her voice. It's a matter of taste, but listen to other artists and the composer George Shearing.

@aliciamontgomery2011 i like "straight" rendtions and bluesy touches. but this is just good. unbelievable. nitpickin cuz the white girl sings it too bluezy for his tastes. wha!???she swings the shit out of it. it s great. it s good. she holds her own in the company of all those you mentioned.
i never heard her sing jazz before. out of the loop and too late again. RIP a great talent.

@markmarktarmann Don't think I'm "nitpickin" when The others I mentioned are enjoyable to listen to , and this is not. Not just too bluesy, but 'over-sung," overly dramatic, out of sync and at odds with the tempo of the backing musicians. The song hard to even recognize at times. She just trails off at the end into softly speaking the final sentences. Her performance does not hold a candle to the others mentioned. I know it is uncool now to not adore Amy since there is a cultish-like following.

@sue4uall Don't be dissing on my Amy. If you don't like the way she sings this one, I invite you to listen to her sing Teach Me Tonight on Jools. Would like you to critique that one.
greatmovieclips 5 months ago
@sue4uall she was barely one side or t'other of 20 when this was recorded; cut the girl some slack. I'm a musician and I happen to like the way she bends rhythm. Would she have matured? Who knows? By Back to Black, Amy's hard living cost her the head notes and lung capacity. Maybe it's because I'm older, I much prefer Frank to B2B, and would have been happy to see her make a career of covering the standards, but Amy had other plans. She went her own way, which I do respect.

I love Frank and have been listening daily since her passing. Think her Tony Bennett duet is a fitting bookend. Maybe she was on her way back to jazz and the standards. Too bad we will never know. Love Amy Winehouse.

@queenoftheuniverse Queen, what are head notes? Thanks.
flupachi 5 months ago
no prob, @flupachi The very high notes. You hear them in Frank, frequently toward the end of a song. She hit a few E♭s above the staff in Take the Box and some other tunes.

I think it not a world wonder that she died.
Almost drunken on her concert and i hate her dad, because he actually didn´t support her daughter. He only likes to see her money and i think that is very sad.
But Amy Winehouse you were really great and you could reached more in your very short life.

I really wish Amy had sung more classic songs from the Great American Songbook like she did with "Lullaby Of Birdland", "No Greater Love", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "I Should Care", "Round Midnight" and with the upcoming "Body and Soul" duet with legendary Tony Bennett. I would have loved for her to continue singing songs that stemmed from her jazz roots. Maybe if she lived long enough she would have explored that avenue again after her masterpiece album Back To Black. Now we'll never know :(

What strikes me in all her covers of the jazz standards is the joy in her voice and playfulness in her stylings. I don't hear sickness or brokenness. I never paid much attention to Ms Winehouse before she died, since all the press was about her troubles and not her talent. There's no question she could have been this generation's Sarah, or Ella, or Dinah W...RIP dear soul.

@queenoftheuniverse Damn good observation!!! I felt the same way and will always believe this young lady was put on this earth to sing Jazz and then dabble in R&B/Hip Hop!! Amy Winehouse was a damn good Jazz singer no questions about it. The music she wrote, which was good music just seemed to contribute to she unchecked depression/Bi-polar issues.
marrob357 6 months ago 3
@marrob357 I heard it suggested that she had borderline personality disorder(BPD), not bipolar. This would make sense, since BPD is marked by extreme fear of abandonment, and I think the breakup with that rat Fielder-Civil and his incarceration did her in. I remember being in a similar place in my early 20s; thank G-d i got thought it and grew a little. Most of us do. Amy's rise and flame-out remind us that no everyone does. (to be continurd...)
queenoftheuniverse 5 months ago
@marrob357 (part two) Charlie Parker said, If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn, and I've sometimes thought Amy embodied that, to her peril. Some say her pain made her great, but I think had she found relief, she would have been a different artist, equally and differently great.

@queenoftheuniverse ~ yes Queen..and thats wot kills me,the press & John Q Public, just dragged her over the coals 2 much. She was a very sensitive souL,can you imagine wot it was like 2 read/see/look @ some of the stuff the papers put out? No she wasn't innocent. Having said that, she didn't deserve all the hatred & ugly things said about her. I'm glad u listened 2 her music with an "open" ear & heart. Over 5 yrs ago when I first heard Amy, I thought wot a treasure!! I shall miss her. SQ1
