@Boost , you don't know what addiction and depression is. This is why people die . People like u don't take mental health seriously . She had big signs of mental health problem and it didn't help as her label and father forced her to perform when she didn't want to or wasn't fit to perform.
@@avarast I agree 100% I can't say she died in vain, but sure would be amazing if she was allowed to have a breather/pause so she could stop and think, be herself without pressure
Hi Sweety. Take a look at our new Artistic Videoclip and Pop Version of VALERIE, of Amy Winehouse ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1AhvG17J5uE.html Support Us @calendulaoficial
she was and still is, in my opinion, one of the greatest female artist of all time. yes, she had an addiction problem, but that didn't make her any less of a person than you or me. many, and I'm talking like 75% of people in the music industry have no choice than to turn to drugs and alcohol so that they can get over all the pressure the media puts on them. we will never know how hard it can be on a person, they're human too, Amy was a human, and she had a beautiful soul. RIP Amy, you're gone, but never EVER forgotten.
Very true, she was one of the greats, and I believe a bit out of her time period. We forget many others (Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Syd Barrett, Sly Stone, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, etc.) - - who all battled some sort of drug addiction.
Her talent (and addiction history) is very similar to Billie Holiday. Her style and unique voice was also very reminiscent of Billie. Both were lost far too soon.
I feel like her mind is in another place. The words come out of her effortlessly but her mind is somewhere else. She deserved so much more than what she got.
Another place: agreed, Amy's not simply singing, but living those lyrics. She poured her heart onto paper and into performance, drawing from a deep well of raw life and raw emotion = raw power, raw beauty
I love how she took a drink in the middle of the song, messed up and then laughed it off like nothing happened it shows what a free spirit she was, I miss her sm😭😭
Or...she's incredibly drunk/high and doesn't give a f*ck... I love her music and this song but sadly she's very obviously wasting away in this video and in the height of her addiction. Look up stuff from 4-5 years prior. She looks like a totally different person.
+Space Lion For some performers, it helps them with "stage fright". Many performers need alcohol or drugs to get over that. They subsequently die because of it.
Thank you, Carveritup, for putting it so perfectly. Watching this performance, I'm amazed and deeply saddened at the same time. What an incredibly talented and lonely young woman. RIP Amy.
Absolutely amazing. Loved the look at the end where she glances at the audience like, "damn, hope they didn't notice." It broke my heart when she lost her voice and timing. Amy was a superstar talent, and she did it effortlessly. I don't know if she ever realized how good she really was.
No! Her timing was way off in this recording, she was disrespectful of the supporting musicians and audience by appearing so drunk. Very sad story all round.
Lorna Murdoch Eaton she sang that song in the way she created it honey, go back to your 8 cats and your bingo nights and your lil sewing machine you 65 year old Betty.
Take it from a guy who was around...she wasn't fully appreciated while she was alive. There was a LOT of negativity toward her drug use and erratic behavior.
I knew her and her music because of my mother. I was six years old when she died. I still know how I reacted to her death. I watched the news on TV and was super confused.
She could sing like this even when she was hammered. Such a shame that all the stresses of being famous and having a toxic family life forced her into substance abuse. Imagine how great her career would've been.

Something that i love about Amy is when ever she sings a song she sings it differently each time, instead of trying to replicate the recording and it truly makes each performance special in its own way.
Amy was truly an icon. Not only did she have an incredible voice, she really wore her style well, the way she wore her hair, the eyeliner, all of it. RIP AMY WINEHOUSE
that 1:17 "Busy" is like eargasm and she does it without any kind of effort, she knew exactly where to put and hit the notes without needing to practice that beautiful flow of notes omg no one would ever compare to her RIP
Inacreditavel alguem com tanto talento morrer assim jovem, se perder no alcool, nos perdendo artista bons como ela, e ganhando cantores ruins sem talento algum, se acharem o maximo... Amy faz falta
With all my respects for all the others singers in any language, that is the best performance of this century, without a drop of doubts, simply magistral.
I kinda feel like when she was alive people trashed her and now that she is dead they now talk about how they love her messed up it doesn't matter how you treat them when there dead it matters how you treated them when they where alive
I think despite the shit talk everyone prefers it for you to be alive and on whatever drug than dead. So the same people who talked shit about her being fked up at the time are still around shaking their heads wishing she'd rehabilitated. Very few people, even trolls on the internet want someone dead. I was too young to wish her ill when she was around but now that I'm just discovering her I truly wish she'd have gotten on the right track or pulled a Sia.
so true! that's one trrible thing about humans. I never trashed her, always defended her when people did and it pains me to see how mean people can be.
there was nothing occasional about her dancing. it was something she couldnt help with because she was hopeless. i can never understand understand pple like you validating her choices. it was clearly a sign for help
@@icebearforprez i don’t think it’s that deep actually, ofc she had problems with drinking etc which probs caused her to be a bit for “jiggly” is some performances, but i think she just like dancing to her amazing music
@@MB-vu7ue im assuming you dont have to deal with alcohol or drug addiction. because i am, and from what i see. i know exactly what she feels just from her eyes. because i am dealing with these problems. be glad you dont have to understand what she was going thru, because i do
It's true I feel like I sing better after a drink or two, I think because alcohol loosens and relaxes the muscles and your larynx aka voice box is a muscle so it relaxes and makes it easier to sing and at the same time the alcohol un stifles you and loosens you up makes you sing better
Demention94 plenty of musicians perform high unfortunately. they either micro dose (not as often) or just take a "key" (much more often). they're not horrible people for doing so, they've just been thrown into an industry that tends to create certain habits, and when you never hav to worry about money (or at least in the moment) its hard not to accept something that literally kills all pressure. now for me i can't tell if she's high, she probably isn't. but to say a trained musician can't perform unless their sober is more defensive of our favourite musicians than factual. for instance lennon took LSD by mistake when the beatles were in the studio (he took it from his pill box thinking it was an upper)
How is it possible to love and miss someone that you never known? I love you, Amy. You are the only person who could ever understand what I was going through. You are the real artist of the 21th century… I love you with all my heart…
When I was on a medical leave in 2007, I discovered Amy. She was unique & talented & her voice, there was nothing like it. Thank you for the music you gave us. RIP Amy Winehouse. ❤🙏🏼
Heard the name for years but never stopped to sample the music but it's my loss. What a unique voice and presence. A sad sad loss for all of us. She's wonderful.
The way she handles the segment starting at 2:37 and lasting for about 11 seconds is just amazing; I don't know if it was planned or some on-the-fly improvisation, but it's terrific.
I think it's amazing how she makes singing look as effortless as breathing. Just the look on her face is just like, "what? Isn't that everyone sounds like?" I mean she's most likely very drunk and still sounds better than a lot of people who make it big these days. Just phenomenal.
I completely agree what you are saying. By the way, hope you enjoy this cover made by a peruvian singer who imitates her. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ifXfMPpVe1U.html
It's not Black or White; they are two great artists. Art is hard, that's what is not being said. It's the only craft that will take everything from you.
This shit just gets sadder and sadder with every day that passes. She was so talented and on the way to the very tippy top. Especially in the early 2000’s, people would rather pretend somebody who is obviously struggling is fine so that it doesn’t affect their image. But all it does is allow people to die.
no it was her goin deeper into the abyss. it was a sign for help. if you saw her eyes and didnt know that it was an escape, be glad you dont have to go thru what she did, but i can relate and trust me, she deserved so much more
Many have commented on Amy's intoxication. And have said how brilliant she was under the influence. It's amazing how technically gifted she was and made singing, from a technical standpoint, appear so easy. It makes you wonder how she may have changed or flourished further over the coming years as many of us do. After all, she was young. We all make mistakes when we are young. She didn't seem to deal with fame very well, right? Most people wouldn't!
there was a lot more underneath her addiction than merely fame. If she were able to conquer her addiction, she would have been necessarily a completely different person. Her music wouldnt have been what it is. The kind of music she couldve given us couldve been amazing. But we're no entitled to it. She lived and she died and she left us amazing gifts in her wake. All thats left is a provocation to not repeat our mistakes with the loved ones in our lives lest they end up ill like her. thanks
Amy- I must tell you something. You along with Janis Joplin, Tammi Terrell, Patsy Cline and Karen Carpenter never ever cease to amaze me ! Genius- hugely talented singer- unbelievably mind-numbingly marvelous original and truthful voice, passion, wit, charisma, bigger than life !!! Heaven must have sent you from above !
As a fifty seven year old white guy from the West country who rarely listens to Jazz, I must say the more I listen the more I am drawn in and the bigger she becomes, she is outstanding and a diamond in music history, I love her music and I empathize with her struggles in life.
