The whole “British chick is the new Billie Holliday” thing was infinitely more enjoyable and not completely horrifying when it was Portishead.

"ew! she's gross! she's drunk! she's skanky! LOLz! she can't even remember the words!"

Don't really care if she is drunk or not because I', not interested in her as an artist. Lots of people are drunk.

"wow! this girl can really sing!"

Wow, no she really can't. Her songs are boring musically and trite lyrically, her voice may be strong but the faux-soul thing comes off as fake and she can't actually sing particularly well.

@sncreducer: I wasn't trying to be all Chris Crocker up in everyone's grill and shit. I was just trying to make the point that the featured video was not too far off the mark for how a "standard" Amy Winehouse live performance looks-and-sounds. Even at her best -- which in the featured video she was certainly not -- she doesn't sound like the Mark Ronson-cleaned up studio tracks. But when she is on top of her game...WOW!

I also felt a little "what website am I reading?" while wading through some of the comments. Posts [and their comment sections] about Amy Winehouse on "celebrity" sites/blogs tend to have a "ew! she's gross! she's drunk! she's skanky! LOLz! she can't even remember the words!" theme to them, while posts/comments on music blogs tend to have a "wow! this girl can really sing!" theme to them. If you're curious, google "Amy Winehouse" and surf for a while and you'll see what I mean.

And, oh yeah -- the Chris Crocker jokes make me LOLz.

Peace.

Wow. DHMBIB takes the honorary Chris Crocker prize for most vocal defense of a pop star who’s obviously lost it.

@DHMBIB: The “Beat It” video was just AWESOME. Ms. Winehouse is such a mess.

@DHMBIB: Ok, well, no, I had not ever seen her perform before. Thanks for your perspective. And the clips! And the euphamisms! Anyhow, I have no problem with her. It just seemed weird. You know.

So basically you’re saying “LEAVE AMY ALONE!”
