Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Anybody been listening to this chick's stuff?  I only heard "Rehab", but it's pretty damn good...kind of reminds me of that 60s girl group stuff, except with lyrics about getting shitfaced.

Yeh, she's great, soulful, great voice, good use of eye makeup....

i think there'll be lot of girls acting like posers with eye make up like that  :hihi:

As far as her, the music is pretty, she looks alright, but she's a crappy stage performer. Just watch a video of her, she barely moves onstage, and she look nervous all the time, not to mention she hardly understandable when she sings.

I'd fuck her yeah

I only heard Rehab as well, but even though I'm not into that type of music I really enjoyed it.

she's a munt.

And what is that supposed to mean?

that she is violently ugly.

a few years back she was OK (and only when she was well done up). Now she looks like a 40yr old transvestite hooker who has been dragged backwards through a hedge.

Talks like a cockney cab driver too.

No that's Lily Allan...

indeed!

I swear *she* is a transvestite - look at that jaw, she was a man once

I thought modern music had special filters in place to ensure only beautiful people got through the net?

...and she didnt get through on quality, a song about rehab - er...yeah right

You know that it's a song about not going to rehab, yeah?, not rehab itself, yeah?

Of course you do!, why would you not have ample experience of her or her music, being that you have chosen to comment on it...

... I mean, otherwise you would just be making boring, generic, face vaule assertation's all the time...

i think shes a fucking tramp : ok:

She is aweful IMO.

She is a classic example of people who jump on a band wagon coz a artist is "different".

Can she sing yeah, ok. Is it any good? No.

Alot of my friends like her and say she is original and i laugh coz one she isn't original and even if she is its only coz its so shit no one else would dream of making that kinda music.

Where will she be in 5 years . . nowhere.

I wish her all the luck in the world, but i think she is boring and just another time fill in this dime-a-dozen young independant female field

spose talented artists are hard to come by these days  :no:

never let anyone see they've got to you - little pointer ;)

I didnt realise i needed to summarise what the song was about - i kinda assumed other people would just....know?

In future i will leave you more info - sorry, i forced upon you a trip to wikipedia

Picture?

google pictures?

I got the CD for free - put it on my iPod - some of it is alright, but not really my thing in the end.

I completely agree, as I said earlier, shes hardly understandable, her speech is permanently slurred.

Ahh, I see. A pointer of my own; if you dream up (that which you believe to be) a witty retort*, don't use it at the first opportunity; they work much better when they actually apply. I've actually listened to the album which the song is on, and I like it. Not that it matters, because pretty much anybody who has heard the song in question would have a pretty good idea of what exactly the song is about. Though, that of course does not extend to everybody. I mean, you can colour it your way,


and claim to "know what it's about", but that is like saying a song about anorexia is a song about food.



* Well, really it's regurgitation, whether you perceive it as such or not. But we all do it, ho hum. It's just a pity that your regurgitation was akin to roast beef being brought back up as sick, and little more.

Are you a fan Jim?

Well acutally, regurgitation is more associated with bullemia...

Amy Winehouse owns!!!

Kinda overrated. I like her new CD but it's not the masterpiece some are making it out to be.

The most recent album wasn't as good as the one before, and I would probably go along with it


, but yeah, you could call me a fan. I don't own a t-shirt and I haven't been to a gig, but hey... Her music is good.



Who are you?

wow.. im sorry.... i have been mistaken this for a forum for rockers and Guns N' Roses fans!

i actually didnt think a GNR fan would like something like Amy Whinehouse!

but, oh how wrong i were. And its OK..

but, no, i hate that rehab song so much i just wanna shuv my dick down her throat sufficating her.. then maybe she would have given me SOME pleasure before she passes....

thanks!  :peace:

Imagine that. Some GN'R fans have wide tastes in music.


You don't have to like Metallica, Motley Crue and Poison in order to be a GN'R fan.

You can like other stuff too!





/jarmo

My fiance lieks her, but I think that she is crap. Just a bunch of jibber. She looks like trash too with all those tats.

Just not Bon Jovi or Nirvana!  ;D : ok:

You don't want to do this to all singers and musicians you hate do you?? :nervous:

well... yeah, everyone! well, not John Bon Jovi... :hihi:



yeah. and i said it is OK... i just really never understood Whinehouse' music at all...

and Poison? pleaaaase :p

I like her and if Pop music all sounded like her Pop music would be a lot better IMO. Don't really care about how she looks like really.

so you like not understanding the singer's words?

Is any one else shocked at Amy's dramatic weight loss?

Amy Winehouse fucking sucks and "Rehab" is one of the most repetitive and annoying songs I've ever heard in my entire life. There, I've said it.

Not really... More shocked about her missing shows because she's wasted... What kind of an alcoholic can't hold her liquor?

I just read in New Weekly that she cancelled because of exhaustion. I guess if you don't eat..........

Read a lot about this girl on brazillian Rolling Stone and now I just saw Rehab at Youtube.

Sorry, it's just annoying to me.

I would go with Joss Stone any time. Just because this girl acts like a bad girl doesn't mean shit to me, her voice and the song sucks.

She is just different from any female artist out there at the moment.

And just between you and me, I have been told that she is a legend in the gay scene!!

Avril's stuff has got to be some kind of joke, yeh?

If you do not eat and yet get drunk all the time, you surely can't hold your liquor.


I didn't expect much from Winehouse at first since i got to know her via articles about her being loud mouthed and stuff. I just thought she was a Courtney Love wannabe. After a month or two I checked on her song Rehab on youtube and was struck by her voice and her style.? I bought her album and wasn't dissatisfied with it as it bears lots of influences from the 60ies. Definitely more interesting than Avril Lavigne singing "hey you i don't like your girlfriend"? wearing awful pink dresses, horrible make up? and looking like a punk sweet candy,? ::)

she was at hultsfredsfestivalen in sweden wich i attended.. she was so drunk onstage.. not funny drunk, pathetic drunk.. she didn't care for the crowd and only had her back turned against the crowd and between songs she chit chatted with her bass player or something, but not in the mic so it's was all dull, i left after rehab and lined up for for 50 cent :hihi: that's another story :rofl:

Just listen to her album and don't bother trying to attend her shows.? ;) Seems she has quite a reputation about being a poor live performer... whenever  she can actually perform

it's sad that this thread has 3 pages but for an example foo fighters only have 2 when they are among the best bands out there today :-\ :hihi:

You're right Cheap jon... And you know why it is ? It 's because generally everyone agrees with you about Foo Fighters : they 're a great band. And Grohl is awesome whatever he does. It is easier to discuss about something which divides people.  : ok:

Her music is rather good.

But she acts like a complete ass.

I think she is a real talent and I've seen her play live twice at the same venue.  The first time was around 3 years ago and there were about 150 people there and she was (as far as i could tell) completely sober and owning the stage.  Her voice was on top form and pretty much every person in the room was deadly quiet cause she was that damn good.

Then I saw her maybe just under a year ago before she started promo for the recent album.  Same small venue (350 capacity) and this time it was sold out.  She came on stage wasted and stumbled around looking a bit stupid.  However, her voice was spot on again and I was really impressed.

The reason she sells loads of records is because she has a unique vocal style and great songwriters.  It's pop music disguised as something quirky - and it works.

I'll take a moment to advertise how out of touch I am and admit that I had no idea who she was until this weekend.  I heard the song Rehab on the radio and immediately loved it.  It's like Phil Spector/Ronettes with an edge.  Really good stuff.  On my ipod all the time the last 2 days.

Think I might get the album.

Looks like she had an overdose  ::)

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007360754,00.html

That's the first picture I've seen of her since she lost her weight... Yikes!

Hopefully she can get her stuff together .

I find her stuff virtually unlistenable, a novelty act at best.

I don't think "Rehab" is that good at all.  "You Know I'm No Good" is much better but I have to agree with Falcon on the novelty act thing.  There's one every year.  It was Gnarles Barkley last year (and yes, I did love the "Crazy" song like everyone else did).

Novelty?  Are you crazy?  She has been a pretty succesful artist for a few years now.  The first album was a hit too, just not on the scale of the recent one.

Sorry, maybe I'm only speaking on the US perspective.  Before 2 months ago, nobody here had a damn clue who she was.

not in sweden either

Nope, not kidding.

I seriously doubt she'll have any kind of staying power here in the US.

I did , but that was only cause the wife listence to her.

She is alright not something I would normal put on to listen to . But if it's on I will listen.

I doubt she' (or the label) will worry about the staying power in the US - in an ideal world yes, but in the real world no British artist is expected ot have longevity in the US.  She has shifted a lot of units over there for a UK artist though in comparison to her peers.

She looks awful.  Irony aside, I hope she gets better soon.

yep, even Queen had no sucess in the US after the 'I want to break free' video. The American public didn't get the joke.

Well, according to news reports Amy Winehouse has finally booked herself into rehab. She is staying at a clinic that costs approximately $17,000 a day!

Oh, the beauty...

She's going to a damn spa instead of rehab.

She played at Lollapollooza in Chi-town and everyone who went to see her said she looked like she totally didn't want to perform and could have fallen asleep on the stage. I didn't go so I can't vouch for this.

But, she does need to clean up a bit and not mix so many uppers then downers - holy shit her system! It doesn't know what to do. If you go onto tmz.com today you'll see a picture of her all cut up along with her hubby. Seems she is trying to get clean on her own and was weak and was about to do drugs with a hooker and the hubby walked in and said she wasn't worth his time and she tried to cut him but he saved her from doing drugs! She said she was cutting herself so she wouldn't take a hit off the crack pipe.

I do think she is talented but more addicted than even Anna Nicole Smith. Would be a shame if she can't get some help or kick some habits and the same thing happens.

We'll have to see about the whole US thing though. I know plenty who like her. And I can't liken her to Knarls Barkley cause I wasn't crazy about Crazy - it seemed like a rip off of Seal's Crazy but with a more upbeat feeling.

Winehouse flees hotel, bloodied

LONDON (AP) -- A British newspaper splashed photos of singer Amy Winehouse bloody and bruised across its Friday edition after she allegedly had a fight with her husband.

The photos, supposedly taken early Thursday morning, showed Winehouse wearing blood-soaked ballet shoes, with bruises to her neck, bandages on her arms and makeup smeared down her face.

However, a gossip website reported that Winehouse had said her injuries were self-inflicted.

Police confirmed they had been called to an incident at a London hotel by a concerned member of the public but said no charges were filed.

The singer announced Tuesday that she was postponing her upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour dates after she cancelled August performances due to "severe exhaustion."

Britain's Press Association said the couple were staying in the hotel after leaving a drug rehabilitation clinic in Essex, east of London.

The Daily Mail also published photos of Winehouse together with her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, after the alleged fight. His face and neck were covered in scratches.

U.S. gossip website perezhilton.com said it received text messages from Winehouse explaining the incident and denying Fielder-Civil was responsible for her injuries.

"Blake is the best man in the world. We would never ever harm each other," the Web site quoted Winehouse as saying. "I was cutting myself after he found me in our room about to do drugs . . . and rightly said I wasn't good enough for him. I lost it and he saved my life."

Sweet way to kickoff a tour.  At least when Axl goes on late he plays a full show (mostly) and isn't stumbling drunk.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071115/wl_uk_afp/entertainmentbritainmusicpeoplewinehouse

this is what drugs and alcohol do to artists.

Shes practically been giving an amazing opportunity of being famous, lots of money, travelling around the world, but no, she goes and fucks it all up cause she wants to snort some lines.

At least crue still did good shows even though they were totally fucked.
And aerosmith (minus the different line up years).

Sorry to sound sexist but girls aren't really built for that kind of drug abuse.

I'd say men aren't either. It's beyond fun what she's doing. Its sad.

Tell that to Courtney Love........she could out shoot you in heroin any day 10 fold. 

SHOCKER! Winehouse Cancels Tour!

Posted Nov 27th 2007 1:09PM by TMZ Staff

Wreckamess Amy Winehouse has canceled all of her remaining appearances for the rest of the year, The Sun is reporting today.

The singer looked frail and nearly incoherent in a recent performance. Rumors are that she's out of control since her husband was imprisoned on charges of interfering with an investigation.

The Sun quoted her as saying, "I can't give it my all onstage without my Blake. I'm so sorry but I don't want to do the shows half-heartedly. I love singing. My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same."

Ticketholders will get refunds.

$17,000 ?  :rofl:

Amy Winehouse Arrested -- Allegedly "Perverts Justice"

Posted Dec 18th 2007 1:31PM by TMZ Staff

Yes yes yes! Singer Amy Winehouse has been arrested on suspicion of "perverting the course of justice" -- the UK's version of interfering with a police investigation.

TMZ has confirmed that the arrest was made "by appointment" in London today.

Last month, Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was arrested for the same thing -- related to the case of an alleged assault on a bartender last June.

Winehouse recently canceled her UK tour, supposedly because she was too upset over the arrest of Mr. Winehouse.

Someone, anyone ... please help!

Story developing ...

Blah......celebrity drama is so late 2006/early 2007.  Does anyone really give a shit what these twats do anymore?  Musically she's pretty decent, but as much as her personal life is concerned, I could give a flying fuck. 

her name should be "amy whinehouse"

Well done Russel Brand. From about a year and a half ago.

I jest!, don't be offended.

I've heard a really wacky rumour about Amy that I'm posting not for its sensationalist value. It's quite funny if you think about it.

Anyway, here it is. There is something going around that she is Slash's illegitimate love child or something.

There is a facial resemblance!  :nervous:

no there's not,

and she's british and born in 83 and i think slash was 18 and in LA at that period..


pretty small chance

lol now that was stupid!

Amy Whinehouse wins best new talent at the Grammys!

(Though refused a visa)

They granted it last minute, but apparently it was too late to bring her ensemble to America.  I thought her performance was alright, I would have rather seen her do Valerie or Tears Dry On Their Own.......but she looked rather well tonight as comparable to recent pictures.  They need to put it to that girl because I actually want to see her make it.  Her sound is very unique in this day and age of crappy Jessica Simpson shit.  If she were to focus 100% on her music she could be a major name in the biz for a long time to come. 

i like amy i am happy she showed up and looked good!  i think she won all the right things  ;D

Peace

If anyone missed it I found the performance on YouTube from the Grammys:

I am personally glad she won, I think she is very talented, just hope she can clean up a bit!
