Yes that was my point. She's just a throw back. Throw Etta James,Joan Armatrading and a little Leslie gore and you got it. She will do well. The kids will see here as new when she really isnt. Tori Amos made millions ripping off Kate Bush. This woman is strung out big time. I dont find a junky sexy.There are a few fans of her on this board.
I can't decide if she's doing a really cool thing by updating a classic sound with modern, edgy lyrics or if she's just a throwback who doesn't have quite the talent of her predecessors. I still bought some of her songs on iTunes though.
It doesn't help that she's all over the tabloids and her public persona is that of bitchy, drunk, eating-disordered basket case.
Amy Winehouse is the most exciting thing to hit the scene in a long time. She has a look, an edge, and much respect for the artists that came before her.
Lemont,
As you can see from my location she has a number of LPSG fans. I dont quite know what it is about her that I like. But she is witty wild and somewhat unexpected.
We discuss her further in "Voices that make you melt" and "Favorite lyrics" here in Etc. The boys have even lusted after her in the Celebrity Endowment section! LOL!
