  • Yeah, great tribute to The Maytals which hopefully brings them to a wider audience and we should be grateful to Amy for the compliment she pays to all the great originals that she covered. She was a good singer and advocate of under-rated music.

    Doesn't matter if it was a better or worse version.

  • this would have to be the worst version of this I have ever heard. she should stick to what she is good at....not that I know what that was

  • OH LAWD, SHE SUCKS!

  • Te amo querida amy winehouse.

  • @Leowen2 Shutup.

  • LOVEly,Funny,Awesome,Great rip

  • I loved amy but the lyrics are total shit.

  • Yup, the Specials are WAAAAAY better. But this is.. umm ok I suppose.

  • Zero talent.

  • @skiporamadeducci If you are calling Amy ''zero talent''. I'll have you know that she had more talent in her little finger than you could ever have in your entire life

  • I call bullshit.. fuck this, die twice.

  • what the fuck are you guys talking about thats is awesome cover!!!

  • @uweraldo I know!! I don't get it..

  • Copy of original song from The Specials!!!

    `

  • @sobiksaabik its a cover, not a "copy", you dumb twat

  • @sobiksaabik dude, the original is toots and the maytals. the specials covered their original.

  • You mean people actually payed to listen to this shit?

  • God awful

  • i sing better in my shower

  • @Joneo19 everybody does!

  • Great song.... Not that good when a drunk junkie performs it....

  • amy wino! rest in piss fellow alcoholic! great cover by a pretty good artist. just sucks her addictions killed her.

  • Amy has and will always have a tremendous voice (not had)

  • PATHETIC !

  • its actually a toots and the maytals songs, not the specials. the specials covered it

  • more views than stones monkey man? only possible because fans of the totally different monkey man by stones are curious to see how she may have hacked the song up. of course, when clicked, this GARBAGE pops up. she had a great voice and was talented but this is pure trash!

  • @cqlink1

    Spot on...

    "I'm a flea bitten monkey...

    All my friends are junkies!"

    Kinda prophetic considering th subject of this horrendous video,is'nt it?

  • amy winehouse was like a female version of mick jagger! DYNAMITE !!!

  • Still not over this beautiful girl passing. Love her and her versions of songs so much. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but remember the old saying "If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all?" Think a few people need to take heed!

  • Excellent cover of the SPECIALS--not the stones, dumb ass!

  • Which talent?lol she's just standing there covering a great original with no charisma just standing there not even walking with the mic, not even doing some hard singtechnical stuf.. Which talent? Sorry i don't see it, this was already after she fell down in her drugs.. but fuck it.. just an opinion don't start crying!

  • how can this crap have more views than monkey man by the rolling stones?

  • @csguden different song dumb ass

  • @2bsom1 i never said it was the same song retard

  • Genial, lastima de perdida

  • SKAmy Winehouse....love it!!!!

  • I type in Monkey Man by the Rolling Stones and I get this crap..

    Cr@@@@@@@P!.

  • @halcombo103

    I realize who did this "Monkey Man"...I was wanting to listen to the far better Monkey Man by The Rolling Stones...Off of 1968's Let It Bleed album...In 50 years,no one will care about the drugged out,flea bitten junkie, Amy Whatshername....They'll still be playing the REAL Monkey Man...

    Enjoy reality,dumb@ss....

  • @rbhiphopsux the stones did a cover of this song? did not know that

  • WTF.

  • bnamc you sad bastard get a life,she had more talent in a finger nail than you'll ever accumulate in your sad pathetic existence..go fuck yourself fool

  • I liked her for be(e)ing a big voice and even a big mouth, for being talented, for being odd. Imagine one of of her musical combatants perform like this. No one. You can´t hate a person without attitudes. So, if you wish, go on and hate her. And get back to the boring, clinical profession that sounds all the same day after day.

    We will never see that again.

    Hey Amy, thank you for being different and hope you had fun.

  • @bnamc1 seriously have some respect and if you don't like this song listen to her others she was so talented and had some beautiful songs. she was a good person that that went down the wrong path R.I.P amy <3

  • Hey, you wankers! Its not a Specials tune, OR an Amy Winehouse tune. The song was written by Fred "Toots" Hilbert, from Toots and the Maytals.

  • Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic...

  • Pq vc nos deixou Amy ? =(

  • Fantastic can't stop watching it

  • Damn! She's sexy! nd the Music ain't bad either!

  • LLOL

  • I love it when she gives performance.

  • awesome shes having fun maybe without the drugs shoulda done more of the light hearted stuff then her heart wouldnt have been weighed down so much all of the time...rip amy.

  • why ... here she was look like a skeleton.... :(( why she did it with herself?! R.I:P. Amy

  • sad it is all sad.ok. what is happening with the band-now?

  • this was her best concert to me

  • Hell Yes!!!! Insane Rocking Chune!!! Long Live La Chica Amy and The Two Tone Chunes.

  • The Specials>amy winehouse

  • @Ndubya94 Yes this is a specials song, thanks for pointing that out. When another pop icon covers a 2nd wave ska band, get back to me, till then get fucked.

    this cover owns.

  • @Ndubya94 Toots and the Maytals > Amy Winehouse

  • @ketamina Of course, i forgot toots did this tune as well!

  • @Ndubya94 :)

  • @Ndubya94 The Maytals>The Specials>Amy Winehouse ;)

  • Very talented, too bad about the demons...

  • never knew she did ska too. im so sorry for her. no one should have tried to help.

    im a junkie. and proud of it. have brain of my own.

  • Waaaaalllllkkkkiiiinnnnggggg uuuuuuuppppp ttttttthhhheeee bbbbiiiiiigggg mmmmmooooonnnnkkkkeeeyyy mmmaaannnn!

  • Amy was really good at singing Ska in my opinion. I was watching a concert of hers last night and she sang Monkey Man and Hey LIttle Rich Girl and she did them well. The Specials were one of my favorite bands back in the early 80s.

  • @bmthxbfmvxwtk What a evil thing to say, yes I know she was a drug addict and she never tried very hard to get clean but saying shes deserves to die is very harsh and a nasty thing to say.

  • @BabyBluesRider There are people out there who are fighting for their lives who don't have access to help. She earned heaps of money and did what with it? Bought drugs?My mother has cancer and is forever fighting to stay alive, and she just threw her life away. She was a celebrity with a singing career who had influence over others, yet it wasn't good enough. She was selfish and pathetic, she was offered rehab countless times but was too drugged up to realise how disgusting her lifestyle became

  • @bmthxbfmvxwtk Amy had a tremendous voice and musical gift, from all I have heard and read, she possessed a kind and gentle heart also. She's gone and yet you still condemn her? Shame on you. Hopefully at the end of your days, those who knew you are kinder than that. I hope your mothers battle with cancer ends well and that you eventually realize that many among us are weaker and their spirits more easily broken despite all the trappings of wealth and fame.

  • @bmthxbfmvxwtk hi,im sorry about your mother.I know t doesnt seem fair. It is true that most celebrities reputations exceed their actual greatness.she was just a normal person no matter how much money and singing talent she had, and sometimes people have troubles that no amount of money, power or love can fix. This is why people commit suicide and become drug addicts. She might have been selfish and pathetic, but arent we all?

  • totally destroyed this brilliant song with her fucked up voice....it's a shame...

  • Brilliant!

  • Sorry, but that's abysmal, how dare she cover The Specials

  • @anthony2312 shows you how much you know, as awful as this is.. the original is by toots and the maytals, which is miles better than the awesome specials copy. and before you think i dont like the specials, i love them, but the song is toots' before it was anybodies, suggest you take a listen.

  • I can see a lot of people are downing this but coming from a guy that knows Ska, I can say this isn't really that bad. I will admit it would be a shit load better if Amy had a lot more spunk in her singing and wasn't fucked up on drugs on alcohol all the time. I also know people hated her and I couldn't stand to the site of her, but listen to this again and close your eyes. Forget it's Amy "dumb-ass" Winehouse. The band sounds good and the back-up singers do too.

  • Well at least we wont have to hear that again..

  • that was very poor

  • 1:01 esse negao é lindo demais ...

  • ear rape

  • How bad can you fuck up a song

  • That's... not good.

  • +++++_fr

    magnifique et triste à la fois...

  • This is horrible.

  • She was a great singer but she didnt half fuck the old Ska songs up.

  • i think she realy loved the specials! :)

  • What a skank

  • @illbill316 her skankyness is part of her appeal, dont you think?

  • man we don‘t need that apple trash...spam no amy vids with this shit

  • she sucks in hell now.... wow that was mean

  • @nckey42 why did u say it if u new it was mean u retard 

  • That voice..that energy.. that talent on stage will be missed forever..

  • @OTBASAR she is all coked up, are you being ironic ?

  • @nimenialturo No..During all that concert there was no evidence of any coke in nose, rubbing nose..e.t.c. She was very clean during that concert..Her mind was clear as well. 

  • As suas musicas tem a mesma estrutura das musicas da Ivete Sangalo!! Genial!

  • @a090875 hahahahaha Tá noiado? pqp! hahahahahahaha sangalo hahahahahahaha

  • I dont normally get mad enough to comment on youtube videos. but this is disgusting

  • solo faltaba que los perros se la andubieran comiendo a mordizcones a esta pobre judia

  • I don't care if she'd dead, this is a horrible cover.

  • The Specials RULE! What a tribute...

  • @Nacho66 the only thing missing in her last days were dogs eating her by little bites. Poor Jewish girl

  • DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS ON THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. NOW, YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SCARY11

  • I hate people that post this shit. I thought these dumb chain letters died rest in fucking peace

  • didn't know she sang SKA like Bob Marley :)

  • @javitrevi79 retard, bob marley= reggae, and the songs not by marley its by the specials

  • Fuck off with tht apple thing its fake

  • 1:01 que nego LINDO viu ................

  • It's supposed to be a joyful song..

  • toall the fans out there who so saddened cause cant hear her voice anymore--- do not be sad!! you can still hear amy live! i have a bag of diseased cats who smoke 5 pks a day and drink 5th whiskey and snort lines and shoot shitt too and when i beat the bag o cats with rubber house it sounds identical to amy close your eyes listen 2 this and my bag o cats being beaten- you wont hear the differance at all whatsoever! its identical! and besides the cats are much better people! more talented!!

  • It's a shame she was addicted. I know it's an illness, it's a hard one to fight and especially when you're constantly in the public eye and the stress that comes with it. I love her voice, but without her energy, I can't stand to watch this version of her cover because it doesn't do her or the song justice. RIP Amy, my heart-felt sympathy for you and your family and friends. Also, her Valerie cover was excellent! Check it out if you can.

  • good singer shame she was a smackhead

  • i love how u can spam on here im really sick of seening some of these comment on here that are mean and rude .. yah for the ones who are spamming on here :)
