  • omg so many goosebumps going straight my spine to my head .. this is probably my favourite of her vocals .. it takes u to another world back in the jazz days in a little cosy room with a lady sitting on a piano swaying from side to side whilst effortlessly singing this. All in black & white. But wait, you open your eyes and see Amy --- reality is so much better. God bless you Amy. Never ever ever ever gonna stop listening to your sweet sounds x

  • I love her rendition!

  • You say that she is not talent cuz she was fucked up? close your fucking eyes, and listen... then open it, and you'll se a Gorgeous woman and amazinly talent.... You are goint to be SO embarassed

  • love this so much i often watch it on my pre recorded sky plus Amy was in her eliment singing this pure class for sure

  • PROTIP: This song was written Gene De Paul and has been was an old swing stardard. I love Dinah Washington, but appreciation for the tradition of this music is something important

  • She's Real. I miss you, baby.

  • This is my favourite Amy Winehouse perfomance!

  • I love seeing all the positive comments about Amy when people watch this performance!

  • i miss you baby :(

  • God Damn! That was tasty. Let's remember Amy like this!

  • the first line gets me every time, when you listen to her speak in a thick cockney accent you'd never expect something so beautiful to come out when she sings. Ladies and gents, the one and only Miss Amy Jade Winehouse. RIP <3

  • AMAZIG PERFORMANCE AND AMAZING VOICE AND AMAZING SINGER AMY WINEHOUSE.

  • and she was only 19 here! Wow

  • What an unbelieveable talent. God blessed this woman in ways we'll NEVER understand. I never really heard her sing until she was gone. I am totally saddened with her passing. I wish she could have somehow been saved. Thanks "D"

  • it's true! she's the only true talented modern singer of today... so sad that she left us. WHY amy :( ughh. i'll never get to see her live :(

  • its so tragic, she is a genius. the media and fame killed her. she was already insecure, then all this abuse for her speaking her mind and being herself lead her to depression and hard drugs (unless she was already using) she was a troubled soul, such a beautiful, kind, smart and witty person. i love her more than any other musician. she is one of a kind and she is my hero for being herself in the music industry. shes at peace now . x

  • Yes Amy Winehouse was once very beautiful. I see her nude on a site called pygodblog(dot)com. I was really surprized by Amy Winehouse, she even had huge boobs implants... R.I.P. Amy

  • Adoro a interpretação que a Amy fez dessa música!! Fantástica!! Indiscutivelmente fantástica!!

  • teach me right....... only that

  • Many "singers" in this world.... why it had to be Amy??? I miss her so much, and I didn't was friend of her... I don't want to imagine how sad I would be if I was her friend...

  • dsammmmmmmmmmn

    respect.

  • YES THAT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET RICH AND START TAKEING DRUGS THAT FUCK UP

  • i heard this on the show and i searched for SO many years to buy it. I even messaged her MySpace and emailed the BBC. I can't believe she has actually gone, it's devastating. I actually prefer this to the original (my opinion). It's a true waste what has happened, i just hope she has found the peace which she has searched for, for so long. R.I.P Amy x

  • Few singers have this gift for phrasing...

  • ...es una pena que teniendo esa voz y ese talento, se haya perdido en un túnel sin final!

  • What good is talent if you're unable to live with it

  • What an incredible voice. RIP, Amy.

  • seeing this video and seing how she died just shows the reality of the entertainment industry and those who manupalate it to make huge profits, even disrespecting human life!!

  • just a sad waste of a gift.........

  • @nursejackie2 i hate when people say this. waste? no. that's selfish. amy lived the way she lived. it was rough, but it was hers.

  • @actuallyadam

    It is sufficient to say, "how very sad". She was amazing and gifted. 

  • This beautiful woman was a gift to all of us. It is so sad to see it end.

  • rip

    

  • Any fool left in the world that thought this woman wasn't extremely talented, take your head out of your ass and that tabloid newspaper, and wake up.

    R.I.P. Amy X

  • R.I.P Amy we will all miss you

    thanks for your music

  • forever missed my love now you can sing with your Ava every night ... What a loss to the music industry

  • Gone but never forgotten

  • Love You Sweet Thing

  • I'm shocked to know the news, she must have really felt lonely and despaired before she died. I feel for her... I will always remember this woman and her voice filled with effortless passion. We all have dark spots in our lives, and I care none for hers. She was a sweet person if you could put behind all the negative media surrounding her. My deepest condolences to her fans too....

  • @LimeGirl08 i can't believe it! no please dont wanna live in a world without her music

  • The world will miss this voice.

  • wish you stayed as you were in this vid...

  • R.I.P., you are the best Momma

  • I'll give her props for trying but she was trying to remake Dinah Washington's awesome rendition of this song! Not even close......there will only be one Dinah, one Ella Fitzgerald, one Sarah Vaughan....she's miles from being that but good try. =)

  • @jazzluvr4u "......there will only be one Dinah, one Ella Fitzgerald, one Sarah Vaughan" and there will be only one Amy. Amy Jade Winehouse.

  • @irada20 very true but you have to remember...long before she came along, these great singers made their mark and then some. She wasted her talents away by shooting up and that alone sets her miles behind the all time greats. Not even worth a comparison!

  • @jazzluvr4u Wait ! How about Billie Holiday? When I heard Amy, when I heard the lyrics I thought this is it. I love her. She's the best. I don't care about her lifestyle, I don't care about her husband or whatever. I just feel good listening to her. And that is all what people should care about. Yes, she was self-distructive. Her life was powerful as well as her songs. She didn't try to be as someone else. She wanted to be Amy. I think she would eccept your words as a compliment.

  • @irada20 ....I agree with you my friend. Yes Billie Holiday was and will be an all time great, but Billie lived to her 50's and she made her mark. Amy's potential will never be known because she wasted it away. To put her in the category of Billie, Ella, Sarah or Dinah is an injustice to them altogether. Don't get me wrong, Amy had talent, but the fruits of it will never be known due to her wreckless behavior.

  • @jazzluvr4u I know...two albums. only two albums...and still to me her potential was obvious. I mean, she did enough to prove her ability to sing and write. I believe, she will be remembered more than a jackass than a talented singer. To me she always will be a one huge packet of everything:)

  • @irada20 ...respectable my friend! I'm a HUGE jazz fanatic so it takes alot to win me over. However, some of my idols during the Be-Bop era were heavy drug users (i.e. heroin, marijuana) do their work is blemished in my view, due to that! glad to see we can have a civilized discussion!

  • @jazzluvr4u I love old music, love 50's and 60's sound. Amy was the only one girl of this century who won my heart. Her lyrics truly touched me like nobody else. It's hard to read all those negative things now...but somehow I believe after 10 years all that will be forgotten. She still will be a jackass, but in a good way:) peace.

  • @irada20 True words spoken!

    This song gives me goosebumps.

    I'm 22 and I just know that I'll love her music for the rest of my life.

  • She has a real feel for jazz. A darn shame what alcohol and drugs have done. Hopefully she'll get some help someday.

  • its such a shame when you see her now ;(

  • k she can fake a great jazz voice. congrats.

  • @OzTerri oh fuck off, fake?

  • wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • please, please, come back, we love you

  • great

  • Why on earth didnt she have a career singing this kinda thing.....sad to see what she has become after having this kind of talent

  • Perfect Amy!!so talented...it's so sad to see her today on stage...

  • Remember say NO to DRugs!

  • her face and voice is so pretty in this!

  • i love amy winehouse.she's freakin awesome!

    Nevertheless shes NOT like dinah washington!!!!!

  • Gee, she really managed to sound like someone else who sang it that way sixty years ago. Imitation is flattery, they say. But why get credit for imitation?

  • just had to listen again :)) cause just so out standing

  • Awesomee :)

  • Teach me tonight Did you see that I've got a lot to learn? Well don't think I'm trying not to learn, Since this is the perfect spot to learn - Oooh, teach me tonight! Let's start with the ABC of it, Roll right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it, Teach me tonight! The sky's a blackboard high above you, If a shooting star goes by, I'll use that star, to write I love you, A thousand times across the sky.
  • One thing isn't very clear my love,

    Should the teacher stand so near my love?

    Graduation's almost here my love,

    Come on and teach me tonight.

    I'll use that star to write I love you,

    A thousand times across the sky,

    One thing isn't very clear my love

    Should the teacher stand so near my love,

    Graduation's almost here my love,

    Teach me......please teach me tonight!

  • hey please.....could anybody write down the lirycs pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

    i´m just learning english and can´t get some phrases.....

  • YES YES YES... X

  • What a wonderful preformer....what a voice.....if only........

  • great interpretation of this classic!

  • What a superb version of this old jazz/blues hit!! Superb!!

  • What a superb version of this old jazz/blues hit!!  Superb!!

  • this is brilliant, her voice is amazing

  • had ta come back :)

  • i love the LINGER she puts down on this old song ! WOW

  • How can you not love the pure sense of RESPECT she shows for the great jazz ballads, she may be irreverent in every other way but she has so much respect for the music....

  • where's the "Endora" make-up?

  • OMG SHE LOOKS GREAT! SHE CLEANS UP NICELY...ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS...BUT I STILL LIKE IT BETTER WITH PHOEBE SNOW.

  • @SREGAN7

    this was a old vid, before the drugs took a hold of her. i hope she's doing well now

  • She's just lovely, such a beautiful voice! :)

  • I wish I could sing like her XD

  • I think she's going to be even better in the future.

  • What a talent!

  • Does anyone else find that coke addicts and drunks find their way to fame? I know many better singers than her (not just my opinion - i mean better tune timbre ) why is this? This is one of the better live performances i've seen though.

  • @dew02005 she's an incredibly talented woman, clearly. generally the more interesting artists turn to drugs and alcohol at some point. i thought everyone knew that. there are so many!!!!!!!

  • God, this woman was once painfully beautiful.

  • @DrNick1010 lol you knopw what? i'm a girl and i've always think that she was so gorgeous and even after drugs don't let me lie she was sexy

  • 11 dislikes from 280'000 views...thats pretty good going! I think we can assume those 11 people where having the worst day of their lives.

  • What's the over/under odds of her making it to 30?

  • This is a remarkable rendition of this really great song. I have added it to my "favourites".

    Thank you for sharing.

  • If you want to hear how to really sing this song, check out the Mavis Rivers version..

  • This is when she still was good, even great, live. Now she destroys songs with incessant vocal runs and mannerisms all over the place. Waste of talent and voice.

  • omg she is such a great gifted talented singer

  • My God what a talented singer! So young and such a mature style. Perfect phrasing, perfect tone, perfect voice for this song.

  • Lovely singing! TY Sophie.

  • She should jsut stick to jazz. I hate when she tries to go r&b and hip hop.

  • I lve the dirty jazz sax solo, even tho its short!!!!

  • she was so talented i hate she messed herself up so bad

  • Wow! Dare I say this is up to par with the original! What's it called when someone is freakishly talented but has no idea? No idea of its value, have no problem messing with it. So many would give their right arm for such talent. It's sad cause everyone can tell that that's precious and that it should be fiercely guarded and protected except for... Amy! What's up with that girl! Pull yourself together woman, enough with the nonsense! You need to rise up to the talent that was given to you.

  • go amy !!! you did this song justice!!

  • Well, she is high as a kite in this video. But since drug addiction is a progressive disease, she can (at this early stage) still pull it off.

    A sad case; we should pray for her and her family.

  • @HarmonyOneClass I think she is just enjoying it here... this is how I look when I sing too... :P

  • Nice Jazz. Back when she was good. She should of kept with the Jazz. She's got a great Jazz voice. She look good back when she first started. She's a fucking mess now though.

  • i love this music *-*

  • Great voice, wonderful music, talented person.

  • I think the bee hive is an evil entity that is keeping Amy from realizing her true talents

    no beehive = amazing performance,

    beehive = drunk and out of her mind.

  • la amoooooooo... es y sigue siendo lo maximo!!!

  • This is disturbing, she moves a bit like a cokehead here.. The jerky movements and the deliberate slurring of the words seems so affected... But i guess if you're gonna copy junkie jazz singers, go the whole hog right? It's too bad...

    She is miles, no. light years way behind Dinah, Sarah, Ella who had the style & elegance to match the voice...

    Billie Holiday had a shit life and took drugs to cope, AW just a spoilt princess who's thrown her life away, while the world claps at the freak show...

  • @grebel82 DIAF and shut up.

  • @grebel82 I agree with you...if people think this is good they need to listen to Sinatra, Washington, and even the little known Erin Boheme. This chick would have been booed off the stage back in the fifties when people knew and demanded real talent. LOL

  • @Saraband4Two thanks, usually I just get 10 yr olds swearing at me when I say something, but yeah, I just speak the truth as I see it, cheers...

    does make you wonder, how many people back in the day could sing, dance, act, do comedy ..It's extraordinary the dearth of talent ... Even look at early Jackson 5 vids. those kids were amazing, Michael's voice...and the ALL danced...

  • @grebel82 So what are u saying? There are no good music in these days anymore? That's it? 

  • @irada20 No, I'm not saying there is no good music nowadays, re-read the comment. Most of the entertainers 30s-60s were versatile performers able to act sing and dance. Not the case nowadays. Most "singers" use autotune in the studio and would never be able to recreate onstage in real life the sounds made on their records... Most people are unaware of this; and believe their fave singers can actually sing.

  • @grebel82 Sorry. My comment was dedicated to Saraband4Two.

  • @grebel82 whatever. she's still 100 times better than most singers out today even while performing drunk and/or high.

  • @Eternalux "most singers out" as in on the radio, telly? Yes, I would agree, but I there are thousands of truly great singers out performing who are better.... You just won't see them on tv or hear them on the radio....

  • @grebel82 probably won't hear them because people nowadays don't seem to care about good music but more about what they can dance to in club.

  • I just wish she would clean up her act. She has such an amazing gift :/

  • I hate all things drugs....but love God given talent !

  • phoebe Snow did the best cover of this song

  • OMG SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

  • she is so pretty in this video..

  • She's channeling a little Aretha at the same time by singing behind the beat.

  • @crodrigo

    Check Dina Washington, it`s her...

  • @crodrigo * Dinah

  • I am a graeat Dinah Fan and AMY did a GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT job...god protect her and if you dont want bless her soul...shes an ingenious singer...the world just saw a fery few of them besides Sinatra and her..*****

  • @gfks11 - Thanks for the video- she is a great entertainer - I was not familiar with her

    she is great!

  • @AugustusAurelianus

    Oh Augustus...she's ingenious...when you want do listen a bit more of her...it's worthy!!

  • @gfks11

    ✿ ீ Wonderful video✿ ✿Wonderful song ீThank you, my sweet Judie for sharing ீ ✿

  • Brenda Mau sings much better

  • did you say I've a lot to learn...teach me tonight

  • Dea darling you are brilliant

    please come back i miss you loads

  • she IS very talented too bad she can't clean up

  • Sounds like she has been influenced by Billy Holiday.

  • No, I think by Dinah Washington.

  • WE MISS U AMY!!

  • Oh, my - by the look and sound of this video, her future was inevitable!

  • Whoa, shes's amazing. Sounds so 20's.

    Too bad she's all fucked up and insane now.

  • @lizzielou1023 what do you mean now?

  • @makinmusic09

    now as in..in the present?

  • @lizzielou1023 she has always had a great voice, but she was also always crazy

  • Why the hell couldn't Amy remain this Amy??? Damn good jazz singer. Bummer.

  • @berrygoodstuff she'll come back...i know it

  • Very talented, nice voice, too bad for the "drug" factor ...

  • wow when you get past all you have heard and seen of Amy she is talented anyone know how old this video is

  • 2004 probably,yeah not THAT old. makes it even sadder her decline

  • She's singing Dinah Washington's version of it. Not bad!

  • anyone know what key she is singing in??

  • A-flat

  • then it modulates up a half step to A Major

  • @jasoncp514 you dont say?

  • @flodorsky lmao Exactly!  I mean, duh?

  • the best after Dinah Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!! good for you girl.

  • Too bad she had to go "Toxic" to become as those drugged and trunken Jazz singers.... Should have remained clean. Her decadent life style sucks.... Wake Up Girl!

  • What a great voice... straight out of the 20s :))

    I WIll allways love Amy Winehouse !!!

  • I know the money is in Rock music, but I wish she would have stayed into jazz. She would have one of the greats. I guess I'm selfish. Talent beyond words.

  • Amen.

  • @cosmo2631 couldn't agree more. yet luckily she's much jazzier live, if youre into jazz and amy, check 2007 London Dvd, all songs are performed much more jazzily, and very beautifully- owing no doubt to the virtuoso of instrumentalists-. one other thing amy is quite good at is choosing musicians to perform with, particularly the guitarist and the bassist are crazy..

  • @cosmo2631 this actually shocked me when she opened her mouth i was floored beautiful voice wasted :(

  • @cosmo2631 huh? Amy doesn't do rock music.

  • Reminds me a little like Ella!!

  • man she looked sexy

  • Is this her back in the day? She's incredible! Drugs or no, I love her music!

  • @Bawdyknocker its in 2004

  • @Bawdyknocker I think so man. You can kind of tell with her hair style. She wore her hair straight like that when she first debuted as an artist. I haven't seen her wear that style since. I could be wrong though ;)

  • (8) The Sky'z a BlackbOarD High AbOve yOu... If a ShOoting Star gOes by... I'll Use That Star tO Write "I lOve yOu"... A thOusanD Timez AcrOzz The Sky ! - Tienen q Oir la mizma canciOn en la vOz de Brenda Mau... Eza Ez la vOz, Eza Ez laa tOnaDa ! XD
