It would be worth your time to watch the young (I believe 12 years old) Angelina Jordan cover Valerie in her best Amy Winehouse style. You won't be sorry
Watch the documentary called "Amy" from 2015 in case you missed my post. It won the Academy Award for best doc back then. You will get to know her intimately just by watching that film.
This was Amy at her full best, and worst. This film shows her at her full 50's beehive, tattoo, heels, make up, skinny best self. But also her "in love with the wrong type", crack, alcohol, malnourished, birds hair, addict Amy. God, that performance SITTING DOWN! Miss u Amy. One love from Scotland. 💙
So get this. Shes clucking here (in withdrawal). Shes sat down, barely able to concentrate and she sounds like this !! Amy was a rare gift. One of very few who would have been big in any number of decades,, Amy was soul, rock n roll, blues, jaz Motown and opera .. Much loved and much missed RIP girl
""Valerie" is a song by English indie rock band the Zutons from their second studio album, Tired of Hanging Around (2006). The song was later covered by Mark Ronson, with lead vocals provided by Amy Winehouse, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in 2007. " - I love Amy💙
Amy was a Jewish Londoner. She was heavily inspired by American Jazz and motown era. Ronnie Spektor of the Ronnettes (be my baby) was a huge influence on her.
A band from Liverpool called 'The Zutons' brought this out in 2006. It was about a girl from your side of the pond that he used to date, but she was facing charges for DUI & couldn't come to the UK to be with him anymore.
@BlackPegasuRaps Unfortunately, I’m sure that many of us regret we slept on too many artists until after they’re gone. But, you’re here now, so, take the win. The beauty of the artists that touch your soul is that they did touch your soul, and they’ll continue to touch souls down the road. And the artists that are here, don’t hesitate to see them, you never know how long they’ll be here ❤
Amy was a genius. Like most geniuses, on an emotional level, she was out of balance. Some stars produce so much light that they burn through their own core.
When I first heard Ren, I heard some Amy in his voice. It’s actually one of the things that hooked me :) she was an amazing talent… but her demons were too many and too much for her to overcome. I think this performance illustrated her fully. Unparalleled talent coming out of a young girl woman twitchy with substance use or withdrawal, who said many times that she thought sobriety was boring. Every time she managed to get clean and sober, she thought her life was less fun and enjoyable. There’s a documentary they did a few years ago that’s really heart breaking - to think of all the music we’ve missed. She was British, by the way.
She's a natural performer, that nonchalance had live audiences captivated because it was real and then the crowd connects to tiniest smile or little hand gesture. Not the biggest fan of her music, but I hadn't seen a such a charismatic performer in a very long time before she showed up.
It's really not. She's hitting it, but not feeling it. I'm not throwing shade - Amy Winehouse's voice was amazing and she was a great songwriter in her own right. When she put her heart and soul into any song, it could break the stoniest of hearts. It's a decent cover of The Zutons.
Amazing talent. Was gutted when she past away. So sad and tragic. Remember her when she was on t4 pop world. Incredible talent, Fresh and vibrant, funny and fearless. So sad how it ended.😢
Not a boomer... but the boomers are right, 1960s and 70s music is the real deal. And Amy Winehouse's style was old school, it was a 'throwback' to an earlier era style of music. That's why it sounds timeless, like the best classic rock, blues, soul, pop, etc. 😁
Pure gold; the way she belts this out, so nonchalantly, while playing with her hair, is testament to her talent. From what I recollect hearing, she was exposed to soul/R&B classic albums when very young and knew she wanted to sing that sound.
My favorite video, and cover of hers!! She sadly passed away due to alcohol poisoning as her alcohol level was 5 times over the legal limit, but as u can plainly see in this video, she dabbled in quite a few things! It's so sad that she wasn't able to overcome her demons!
Sadly that seems always the way, most of the great artists we've lost at a young age have been battling addictions and mental issues that proved too much.
She was phenomenal.. Jazz trained with pop sensibilities. Soulful, passionate & from the heart... good & bad of it all. If you liked this you gotta check out love is a losing game live as well. It is one of my favorite songs from her. This is my fav version... Very stripped down like this one.. Shows you how talented she is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u_Rr5J1bk0I.html
She started out as a pure, natural beauty, but she was troubled, she had many demons, namely bulimia and alcoholism. Amy was stunningly beautiful inside and out. She was sooooo uniquely talented. I adored her. It’s a damn shame that she’s gone. 27 Club gained another Legend 😢 You know, she didn’t care about the money, she wanted to write music and sing. In this video she wasn’t doing so well. She was thin and fidgeting, breaks my heart. But listen to her singing, even in that state. Now imagine her at her best 💫
A song ppl don't often know, that she was featured in, is called 'Cherry Wine' by Nas off his Life is Good album. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! 😉
I worked with this guy named Ian and he would always sing this song to me because he said he always thought of me when this song came on. We had never been very close, but I've never forgotten when he would sing to me because he was momentarily very sweet.
Ahh, Amy live onstage with The Specials is something I go and watch again and again. Watching her improvise and play about with vocals, clearly enjoying herself while not trying to steal the limelight, is beautiful and proof she was a humble gal. R.I.P Amy. If only someone had stepped in faster instead of feeding off your fame 🙏❤️🕯️
The song “Valerie” is a song by English indie rock band the Zutons. It makes me mad that Amy Winehouse is still not around with her amazing songs. We have Karise Eden (Australian)who won the Voice 2012 and in her audition blew everyone away with Its A Man’s World.
This was a good reaction. Love all your reactions everytime This song still gets to me you see my tia Valerie my moms baby sister one of her favorite song was Valerie by amy Winehouse they both were beautiful souls both had beautiful voices and both died from alcohol my tia died from cirrhosis of the liver now mind you they passed 6yrs apart Amy in 2011 and my moms sister in 2017 like I said her fav Amy song was Valerie because it reminded her and our family of her so we would say that’s your song Tia then she’d sing the hell out of that song so here’s were it gets interesting creepy and sweet she told us when she goes if we hear the Valerie song play on the radio she made it to heaven I was like ok cool because I’m open minded and believe in a lot considering I’m a empath so the day of her funeral arrives there playing all her favs or shall I say the families favs but no Valerie I was disappointed because that’s her fav like why not so we finally leave after saying goodbye we get in the car about to take off and guess what song plays once the music starts Valerie starts then we see a hummingbird which was one of her favorite creatures she had tattooed on her oh my gosh did my mom and I cry leaving the funeral parlor for the rest of the day everywhere we went this song came on until we said ok we get it you made it we love you and tell everyone hi for us then the music changed to something else and from that day at the funeral I’ve really gotten into Amy Winehouse because of my tia so thankful for Amy Winehouse bringing so much joy to my family and to my Tia for being such a beautiful soul even through there downfalls they both loved
Amy’s light shone to bright for this world, my heart aches at the loss , the world is a sadder place with out her . She was phenomenal. Although this isn’t a song she wrote she was actually singing about Blake .
Original from a (I guess a brit) indie/alternative rock band 2006. The Zutons - Valerie. She liked that song so much, that she wanted to sing it in her style.
BP while its true there are some singers today that don't use autotune but there are far less of them then back in the day. A handful today at best. Today with recording software anyone with a computer & the software can record themselves at home and put the music out on spotify or itunes. Back in the 60's , 70's & 80's you didn't get a recording contract if you didn't have the talent. Record company A & R guys had to hear you at a showcase or hear a tape of you before they would even think about signing you to a contract.
There’s a wonderfully sad documentary on her that you may be interested to watch. So many people took advantage of her talent, including her family, especially her father. As I’m sure many people have already commented she had a drug addiction which is reflected in the constant fidgeting during this song. Many of her songs revolve around her drug addiction. She was such a beautiful person with insurmountable talent. May God rest her soul.💕🙏💐
The Zutons did the original version.(Our eldest daughter was born when it was playing on the radio). Even they conceeded this was a better version. RIP gorgeous talented Amy.
Not sure if anyone has asked you to react to Paolo nutini iron sky Live at Abbey Road?him and Amy are right up there with the best singers that came out of Britain in the last 20 years if not the best
that's why she was so welcomed in the rap community even though that wasn't her genre. She understood and respected it but she was jazz and blues. But her attitude was gangsta af
Amy was a treasure! She left us waay to soon. She be up there with the other legends! A danish reggae artist named Natasja is anotherone who died before she got to take over the world....
Valerie was originally written and recorded by English band the 'Zutons' in 2006. Amy took it to another level when she released it (working with Mark Ronson)
It is a cover of Zutons song from McCabe. Her great delivery was an important part of her work during those tour dates and she did justice to the song.
Amy was a major jazz fan. She considered herself a jazz artist as she was one. Her biggest Inspirations were artists like Sarah Vaughan, Donny Hathaway, Tony Bennet, & more. She’s from London, Camden Town & Is Jewish. An incredible artist with pain that bloomed out of her through her heart & soul. My favorite artist of all time.
Valerie was written by Dave McCabe of the Zutons. I have met Dave and he said that this song made him quite a bit of money when she made it famous.. I should ask you to watch a singer by the name of Paul Akister who sang a mix up of Marvin gay let’s get it on and Ed Sheerans thinking out loud.. I guarantee you will love it
In 2008 or so, there is a big concert held at London's Wembley Arena for the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster guitar. (The Strat Pack: Live in Concert - 50 Years of the Fender Stratocaster) Back then, Amy was relatively unknown with UK-only release "Frank" freshly released. She was added a time-filler for the show and to promote a new artist. She was sex on a stick. I special ordered "Frank" and have been a fan ever since. There is a ton of amazing tracks on Frank that much of her US audience still don't exist.
