Amy Winehouse Is Outsung By Backing Singer

[ColinTheButthead]

Why even compare?? They are both amazing singers with complex, unique, and individual styles. Let's leave it at that.

[litalover19]

What is that she is always drinking on stage?

[SivEdable]

She gave the guy his space, fair play to her. There is no better or best. Enjoyed it.  Stop the ads.

[popalockit]

WOW. ZALON <3

[midnighfairy]

zalon sucks



[bernybuzzboz]

no way in hell he outsang amy

[Joemnc]

He also has a twitter account. And, was signed to Amy's own label. Unlike many artists, she gave props to her band and back-up singers.

[brandini5000]

he is fine as hell

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

I love Amy tho ...............

[TheRichardScout]

HOLY MOLY!!!

[localtortoise]

he didn't outsinger her, he was just miming while amy winehouse was singing secretly ;)

[marrob357]

"I wonder why I even bother getting on stang sometimes?" Because you're damn good at what you do baby!!!

[marrob357]

@marrob357 You get on Stage because you're good bb.

[marrob357]

"So that's my Boy".........Love it Amy. RIP baby xoxoxo

[VHSGraveyard]

What an instrument!

[marrob357]

@VHSGraveyard That sounds like a old Earth Wind and Fire cut. Don't know the name.

[MrDtmpulse]

What song is this?

[rafa2117s]

@MrDtmpulse Brother :D

[PrincessHv101]

[paulinaz87]

@ilovety65 what is the name of this guy? do you know? what was that band in belgrad?

[ilovety65]

@paulinaz87 the man's name is Zalon... he has a yt channel ...zalontv...not sure on the others...

[shutoman7]

The point about this clip is that it takes great generosity for a performer to step back and let a backing singer - especially one of such talent - take centre stage. Not only a great talent, but considerable kindness.

[NyimaStar]

Who is dis 197664 wateva u call urself zalon n heshima r my boys and they r makin der money wat r u doin sittin at hme on ur stupid laptop chattin out ur asse they say u always get haters but ur takin da biscuit who r u? No1 knows y the world knows them! U prob knw them ur prob sum reject who tried n Neva got no where but I knw that ur jus a hater and ur opinion means shit n e way cause u clearly hav no talent.....pratttttt!!!!!!!

[x0ticShwty]

nvm... but aww... he would've been good for her...

[x0ticShwty]

who is he!??!?! what's his name?

[gurraglad]

I've watched this clip probably 200 times.

[GhettoDafi]

How is the song called?

[XxxLovelyMelodyxxX]

DAMN!

[malika810]

Zalons voice is like velvet.....real smooth.

[iamatruthseeker]

her band is the freakin' bomb!

[Supergx]

HATERS....The guy is immense

[canderella85]

She's an amazing artist who showed one of her two amazing backing singers off, she's a true artist by letting them shine with her, get a grip people, man all this bitching is unecessary!

[Guitarscreech06]

If I was a woman my ovaries would explode by one and a half minute into this vid, LOL

[KellyFan4Lyfe08]

anyone saying he did bad doesnt know a good voice,he did good,but she let him do it so its not like he wa tryin to outsing her

[MsLavaDeCox]

yeah he certainly didn't outsing amy.That was fkin annoyin..i'd never buy his album. Yellin n screamin..tryin to do the runsnriffs jus looks like he got the runs.

Sorry but he sucked.

[195477]

So where is the GREAT Zalon Thompson,the one that has "SUCH a great voice"...the reality is without Amy he's nothing at best,without Zalon Amy performs better.Amy has it in shed loads Zalon doesn't it's that simple.

[NieceeBabez]

@195477

YOU CHAT SHIT !

[195477]

@NieceeBabez So you say but what is true is Zalon can't sing,what he can do is spoil a great artist when she sings live -FACT.

[195477]

@NieceeBabez Zalon Thompson is a liability to Amy Winehouse's music.

[Thirdoptionisthename]

@195477

Shut up.

[195477]

Backing singer is outsung by Amy Winehouse.

watch?v=HKcgZVEp1F0

[195477]

I watched The Eurockeenness show again today.

Love is a losing game,Just friends and I told you I was trouble do not have Zalon{or Derek in this show} singing at all.

[195477]

Binky Griptite and the Melomatics are good Amy should keep him he's a true natural musician..she needs class usicians not dancing puppets.

Look up You know that im no good or Cherry live these two don't contribute a thing.

[Lola390]

um,she's clearly introducing her band here,not being outsung.

[195477]

watch?v=9VPM51w1FGU

[195477]

Get rid of Zalon and Heshima but keep Brinky.

Watch?v=TW1RyVjYdew

[195477]

Amy should keep Binky Griptite though

[195477]

No Zalon is NOT good he and his brother Heishma are terible.

Heshima couldn't even make it through e X factor

[anthonyharris2009]

Are you deaf or just stupid?

[195477]

Listen to them during introductions at Tempodrum or during Hey Litle rich girl at Benicassim Spain...terrible.

[cove124]

oh fuck sake fucking hell it drives me crazy when brain dead people like you think the hwole fucking music industry revolves around xfactor! seriously what and you reckon people lke john and edward who "made it through the xfactor" are good?

[195477]

No they aren't nor is Zalon and Heshima.

My music is vast.That was just an example.They will not go far on their own.

[x109256]

zalons good, we know that, but we also know that amy has never and will never be outsung. She could be babbling and stumbling all over the stage and she still sounds good!

[tildeziegler]

fuck hes so fucking talented!!!!

[195477]

Look up Amy singing You know that i'm no good at Arendel Norway,SHE sounds great.

[195477]

Amy doesn't need Heishma,Ade or Zalon she id FAR too good on her own.

Watch?v=QKcA4L51ClQ

[toomanyunits]

WTF! i thought he'd stepped on a nail on 50 secs.

[dubtat]

Gimme a break. This guy is good, but he's just a generic RnB singer. Amy has character.

[Boogiefish]

Wow.

Give this guy good songs, band and management, and he can make a difference.

Wow 2.

Had the exact same experience.

I can tell you, it's pretty embarrassing.

[giababy678]

she can never be outsung honey.

[AnonimuzZ]

In the condition she's in, she has been outsung for quite a while.

[gunnercraigie]

too late, she just has been

[LauraGomesMovies]

AMY, MARRY WITH HIM XS

[kyiara]

Unbelivable!!! What an amazing singer, and he aint even singing no words & its still mindblowing lol x x x

[195477]

Zalon is to be Amys first release on her new Lioness label,his brother Hieshma is also working on an album.

Amy features on it as does her young goddaughter Dione Bloomfield.

Shame Amy releasing her own album.

Mark Ronson has had a hand in it.I wont buy it as I do not think he is good at all and should remain a backing singer.

[195477]

Anyone who thinks Zalon is good should listen to him and his brother Heishema in Tempodrum Berlin.

Amy introduces the whole band and they are put on the spot to sing...terrible.

[marlee0411]

searching amy winehouse introducing her band (exact words) will get the whole 10 mins of this great live scene. the audience and band is into it and so is she. you can't tell that from this. amy always has a great band,lets them all shine & is no stupid diva type either. even zonked, tipsy or whatever she's a great live performer, artist and songwriter. she's gained some weight back so she's probably healthier, hopefully. the haters can go listen to their junk, i'll take real music any time.

[195477]

I'd love to see Amy attempt

watch?v=ipO33AwKe0M

What a GREAT blues song.

[smscandy]

@marlee0411 its so sad, who would have known that 1 year later she would be dead. R.I.P.

[DanyelHawkes]

i agree COMPLETELY with 195477 zalon tries too hard to overshadow the main singer, amy. You dont here amy belting out while he sings his part in little rich girl. and yet it seems as though he's always trying to rival amy's sound especially when she's having a "bad voice" day

[hrhadam]

Eh every backup singer wants to be a frontman, but this guy doesn't have what it takes. He's a fine backup though, but completely fungible. The shows where he doesn't perform don't lose anything.

[jido35]

Exactly, he has beautiful riffs and a hot tone of voice...But, there's really no personality to it. Which is why he wouldn't get very far as a front man. That doesn't mean he can't sing...He just needs the right songs...But, he's better off in the back.

[195477]

HRHADAM.......TRUE.

[samcooke67]

he's amazing but so is amy.. i only hope she's around long enough to share more of her talent with us! its very rare you here a soulful voice like this! i only hope she don't deprive us of it!... sort it amy.. you're amaazing and the world deserves to hear more of you! x

[195477]

Tiny Tim sounds better.

[Pancakes0o]

yeah, i think amy is just being nice and letting her singers know that theyr important too, cus most of the time no1 even knows who the backups are. don't get me wrong zalon is good. but people mistake "amy being humble" as "amy not being as good as her backups".

[195477]

Anyone who thinks Zalon is good must be tone deaf in my opinion....he's terrible and above all tries to steal the show which he makes himself look {and sound} a complete fool.I have listened and watched 100s of hours of Amy and she should keep her musicians, as they are great,buit get rid of the 2 muppets[Ade and Zalon}and push her to the front more.You can hear how terrible they are by listening to Monkey Man at Glastonbury 07.Then watch Glastonbury 08 where the stage was T shaped..ctd

[imahoslapper]

Amy winehouse could be in my top 5 favorite singers of ALL TIME.

However, if you think Zalon sounds *bad*, YOU must be tone deaf.

Dude has an awesome and powerful voice.

[195477]

Then why is he a BACKING singer he is nothing without Amy....Tiny Tim sounds better...look him up he's on Youtube.

Serious, her group are GREAT Zalon and Ade hold her back she doesnt need them.

[195477]

ctd...and Amy was [at times} outfront on her own and this was better and more connected with the crowd.

Anyone can be an idiot on stage but not everyone can perform like Amy Winehouse..she is FAR to talented .

Watching Amy With those 2 is like having Ronaldo play with Acrington Stanley.

[jido35]

You're kidding me..."not everyone can perform like Amy Winehouse"...I don't see how that's possible when she's high during every performance, mumbling words, juggling around things in her pants, half dead? I have not seen 1 decent performance of hers. I'd rather watch Britney Spears...And that says a lot.

[195477]

jido35..have you listened to Live de la semaine,EurockeennesFrance,Par­adiso or Arenel Norway? The latter is excellent no sluring of high just a great show

[Prizm2356]

Then go watch her fool

[bcurry333]

what an outrageous video title.

Amy Winehouse is an outstanding singer but and even better performer. She cannot be outsung in 45 seconds by someone who is not even singing a song

[hastcooktaco]

i was at one of her shows and he stole the show hands down....amazing voice

[195477]

The focus should always be on the main artist watch Elvis sing "What now my love" in his Aloha from Hawaii special,or any song from that show{on youtube} and the focus is on him,that is just one reason why he and it was so successfull.

Amy needs to be pushed more to the front not square with the rest,Zalon is so good why is he not on his own,Amy Winehouse is not one of a group..she is too good,Zalon can't hold a candle to Amy and ,in my view,looks stupid tryig to take the limelight.

[195477]

When Amy sang at Nelson Mandellas 90th the stage was T shaped like Elvis 's Aloha from Hawaii.

When she sang Valerie Amy was away from the backing singers and the focus was on her,the crowd really connected.She is far beyond Zalon by miles,if he was that good he wouldn't be what he is..a BACKING singer,not the main attraction.

[gttoblstr]

how is amy being outsung if she's not even singing? rename the video to "Winehouse backup singer graciously given short solo"

[195477]

gtoblstr...I like your comment,but I would go further and say Zalon spoils a good show.

Type in Amy singing Mr.Magic the New pop festival,I know she is a lot younger{03} hear but Ade and Zalon are missing and she is far better.Her musicians are all great but she doesn't need the 2 muppetts she is far too good for them and should get rid,the focus should be on her.

[gttoblstr]

yeah Zalon is good, but Amy is the main attraction. I guess she's just a very nice person, letting them steal her spotlight, lol.

[195477]

Maybe they had to steal hers because they're not good enough to get their own.

[xxxside6]

Aww... look at him singing sounds instead of lyrics bless him! :-) Which is just what back up singers are meant to do! Produce extra vocals and sound....

Its what makes him a back up and Amy the lead!!

[195477]

NO NO NO...ive seen better down Camden Tube station.

[195477]

I have been saying for AGES on Youtube that Ade and Zalon hold Amy back and try to steal the limelight.Most people pay to see her,she is NOT part of a group and if they think they are so good then go it alone.Her musicians are GREAT but they are like a couple of muppets..why have they never[or will} made/make it on their own,reason... they are not that good,Amy doesn't need them she should get rid.

[Antituberculos]

i lv chu zalon!

and u too amy xD

[VatoFeo]

Zalon kicks ass!!!

[matinight]

He has a youtube channel, zalontv :)

[snowmaker2000]

YOU FIRED SUNNN!!!

[porschemotion]

Zalon ladies and gentleman, that is my boy!

[redvelvetjacket]

0.44 = <3!!!

[ZerocooI]

Reminds me Matisyahu

[Folafs]

Sign him up"

[andrewlewis963]

never trust a man who wears an earing

[postman252]

LOL nice one

[SmokeMamaHome]

ZALON!!!!

[DaBlackGeisha]

Amy did what she is supposed to do... support other great singers. Especially ones on HER TEAM! Big ups to Amy and Sing on Zalon - his brother Heshima is awesome too.

[gorgonslave]

The whole point of backup singers is that they are "amazing".

Thats the point, they help make the star shine more.

I dont think Amy would have picked him unless he was top of the line. My point here is that the Backup singers say,,,the Rolling Stones would use are better than Mick Jagger...so...Your point is?

[Markarse16]

I think I have watched this clip about 5,000 times now! Haha! I just love this boy!! He is amazing! I can't wait for his album to come out! I will buy it for sure!!

[riyotot]

i love him.

[doesnthurt2try]

don't think it's out sung just maybe some kinda props is all.. I tinks.

[Ilikeyouall]

good..but nothing special,and what is he doing?love to the micro????lAHAHAHHA

[Lourdespeaker]

zalon is a beautiful singer theres no denying it... but hed never deliberatly upstage amy....

[samuelc12]

myspace dont work :(

[joemarie06]

wow!! wow!!! this guys voice is lethal!!!so so love it!!!watch this guy hes gonna be big!!!X

[diamepiece]

Zalon is the maaaaan. Dude stays outshinning Amy in every show

[leezymleezy]

outsung???? never that!!

[xHSKYxGRLFRNDx]

lolll but she sayz in the end tht she sumtimez wonders why she gets on stage ^^

so tht should count for sum recognition, and it shows how she think about them and respects them

[Lalachicki]

I swear if I was her band mates, I would be so freakin angry at her behavior. Can you imagine being in the background and having a cracked head lead singer....when You know you can sing better...they are always saving her

[pompe95]

IF they had a problem with it they wouldn't work for her.

( not out sung by the way, she can't be out sung)

[Lalachicki]

I love Amy's voice and maybe this is a matter of opinion. But when I SEE her perform, she doesnt sound close to what she sounds on record. Her speech is slurred, she is rocking back and forth and her back up singers are always up to par. So maybe you enjoy a lack luster concert by her, but I dont appreciate a "no practice-low energy" concert.

[zhae00]

thats cuz she's a studio singer. They take technology and make it sound better than it does. she has no talent, sorry

[sacodosa]

just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gurraglad]

all in that band are so talented :)

[ickythumpIII]

why do you think they are in the band?^^ xD

[gurraglad]

cuz its amy winehouses band really... zalon said in a clip "amy winehouse was kind enough to lend me her band" for his own songs. dunno what you would call them. since zalon has been a backup singer with them for quite some time i do see him as one of them, dont you?

[zhae00]

That's actually not her band. That's the Dap Kings, and they've been around longer than her. And they play for the true queen Sharon Jones!

[195477]

He needs to go to Rehab..what a muppet

[starturn27]

Sharon who??

[JoeParkerAndThePower]

SHIT that man has talent!! its amazing when you get that many talented peeps on one stage together, lucky bastards all :)

[Magickme43]

woah

[britto156]

im in love with this guy.

[NIZAC7]

You call that singing sounds? like hog calling to me

[gurraglad]

and ur a fuckin idiot Niza.

[Aaliyah9876]

Zalon POWA HAHA <3

"that's my boy" :D

[jacmas]

Zalon kicks ass!

[comett1]

Zalon-ssssomebody better snatch him up, and put him on their label.

[MoonlitLuminescence]

Or maybe his name is Heshima. o.0

[MoonlitLuminescence]

Damn, what a wonderful voice.

I always loved those 2 dancers, and now I find out that one of them sings really well xD

...I wonder if the other can.

....What's his name... Ade? Yeah. Ade.

[Tooomuchlemonade]

yup thats his name

zalons amazin i met him hes worked with lots of ppl if you want the best of his voice search up hay little rich girl :)

[Prizm2356]

seems just like he is screaming to me...noway he beats amy

[blagdon2]

amy out sung no way zalon great singer!!!but amy winehouse rocks!!! i have seen amy live on stage'''and the way she delivers a song,,,is just just magic!!!

[adityamochtar]

damn thats what i call voice, W-O-W

[november2remeber619]

he didnt really out sing amy cos they're both goooood in their own way.

[entity3sf]

Only an ignorant hater would even title this, "Amy Winehouse Outsung..." Fool, she didn't even sing so how could she have been "outsung."

Fucking loser.

Nothing against you, Zalon.

[XxBeccaBoo101xX]

Omg I totally agree !!!! Wuhoo go Amy!!!

[november2remeber619]

ZALON IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOL MAN dats real singing. he can hit high notes really well listen 2 hey little rich girl

[mackpanher]

Camsamdan. You can't do it. So stop hatin.

[camsamdan]

Stick to day job of backink vocals!!

Or play drums monkey man

[XxBeccaBoo101xX]

He didnt outsing her she didt even sing love you amy !!

[lolofx]

i bloody love zalon he needs 2 hurry up and send me sum of his tracks, already signeds up 2 it but aint recieved any yet lol

[eviexbkfan]

That's the best performance from Amy that I've seen. Wonder if Zalon can get the lead vocalist job full time. :)

[vikingsinger1]

hes good but too ott for my liking! i know its supposed to be a vocal improvisaion but its too instanty ebrasive!

[TerenYoung]

Lololol she was high as shit...probably forgot it was her concert. She was just enjoying the music and the heroin flowing through her veins.

[lordmeowmeow]

how can he outsing her if she doesn't even sing? she sounds and acts like a 747 before it crashes into the side of a mountain. god willing that comes soon. what a classless joke.

[gengszter01]

LOL, funny comment, good one! :D

[Expletives1]

God Damn, Zalon can blow holy shit!!

[Sezzera]

Big love for Zalon and Heshima. Amy's backing singers and dancers ;) !

Love this video clip!

[DemonsBallroom]
