Amy Winehouse
Her new album is plastered all over this week's ads, so I gave her a listen. She reminds me of a really dark Diana Ross/Supremes, with a little Dangermouse production flavor.
Unfortunately for her, I think her sound is a little too dated to sell albums to anyone outside of the Norah Jones/Lily Allen demographic.

"Blues" for people who don't have a clue what "Blues" is.
Another British export that Americans will swallow. It never seems to end.

Amazon brought up both Joss Stone and Lily Allen in a "similar artists" search.

she was on the bbc sessions the other night...every song was exactly the same and you couldn't understand a single word she said or sang because she could barely stand up
her nasel whining is perhaps the most irritating noise i've ever had the misfortune of hearing in my life

I caught the end of that sessions programme, it was just awful. Looked and sounded like she was drunk, or weak from being too thin...
Not a fan of her music at all.

Hmm. I wouldn't consider her "Blues", and I'm not too sure what genre I'd put her in....
But I like her. I think she has a nice voice. I've only heard a couple songs so far, and I think I'd like to buy her CD.

She's probably jazz if anything.
Not a bad singer (when she is singing properly); certainly better than most identikit shit ones who get less flak just because they are generic.

H-how did it happen that Lily Allen and Norah Jones were mentioned together there?

Amy Winehouse really isn't a talent. Maybe after she gets some help with her drug problem then she can become a better singer.

Drug problems and lack of talent don't necessarily go together.

Every song sounds the same....,uninspired and adolescant. She does seem to have a good jazz voice though. To bad she doesnt know what she is doing.

Well, apparently every song is completely truthful, and "brutally honest", for she's written about what she's experienced and been through.

If you're one of those jazz fans who thinks anything that isn't Miles Davis is therefore not jazz, might as well stop.

Hell no, it's just that I don't find enough jazz elements in her music to call it Jazz. And I listen to all kinds of jazz.. I also study jazz guitar in school so I think I can say that I know a lot about it.

Huh? Victor said "She's probably jazz if anything" How can you interpret that except that he thinks her music is jazz?
