One of the things that recently came to mind when considering the eventual lash-back surrounding British delight Amy Winehouse was the line “It’s only rock ‘n roll, but I like it.” After all, sure, it’s only post diva sophista-pop, but I like it. Hearing Amy’s throaty muck her way through the crowd banter from this show compared to her elegant, timeless voice is honestly stunning and something that I’m presuming is twice as shocking when hearing it live amidst a sea of fans watching her a half dozen or so cocktails into her set. I remember first watching the video for “Rehab” expecting something far from what I saw, and ultimately being disappointed by it. I wanted nothing more than to hate her story, her songs and her look but ultimately I found myself sympathetic to all of the above.

thanks for this post. I only recently discovered Amy (maybe a couple of months ago - don’t ask me where I’ve been!). I am absolutely digging her voice and the whole thing.
Her music is great to unwind to, but it does make me wanna have a drink or two!

Wow, even my tattoos look better than that, and they’re presently being removed by a laser. Anyway, I think she could beat Cat Power in a fair fight, and she sounds far better too.

question for you - i was actually reassured by hearing these live tracks? maybe she’s drunk but she still sounds like she’s putting on a great show and knows what’s going on. do you just mean that her regular voice is surprising (drunk or not)? i think she sounds great! thanks for the tracks.

Any woman who starts a song with “What kind of fuckery is this?” you’ve gotta respect. Not a pretty lady, but a hell of a voice. The stories you hear about her suggest that she’s one of those incredible talents who will be found dead in a hotel room in a few years, but while her heart’s still pumping she’s putting out great music.
