Broken and misarble but she had swagger for days! She's done more in 27 years (as have the other 27 club members) than people would do in a life time. Bless their souls

[@PK--ITA]

Amy was a really great singer, as a metalhead I respect her a lot for her achievements.

[@revylokesh1783]

So do I. Jazz is one of the few musical styles I have nothing but respect for, because the musicians are so dedicated to their craft and they know what they're doing.

[@durrr123]

she was also an excellent jazz guitarist, which wasn't even utilized on this album

[@AsavarKul]

One of those voices that come once in a generation. What a shame we lost her so soon.

[@Michael-wx7dr]

I know from growing up in the UK, Amy Winehouse really kind of defined a generation of music for a lot of people here, her songs were so ubiquitous and she was one of those rare artists that people from all sides of the musical spectrum could agree was a massive talent and appreciate. Unfortunately though, the British press were absolutely fixated on her and were pretty brutal with her, I can recall how she was hounded by the media and the paparazzi in the UK until the day she died, in a way that we hadn't really seen since Lady Diana. It's truly a shame that we lost a great talent so soon, I can imagine how much more fantastic music she had left in her to create.

[@JJSFC]

I was thinking this fairly recently re the British media treatment of Winehouse. Really shameful, and I don’t think they’d be able to get away with it today. Crazy how things have changed in a short amount of time. She was a true talent and should be remembered as such here.

[@ponorj]

I remember watching the tribute concert for Amy Winehouse after her death and Adele performed at the event. She even said that she wouldn't be the artist and singer she is today if it wasn't for Amy Winehouse who inspired her and so many other artists.

[@fatimalatif7678]

Gosh, that first verse, partly censored, is a total roasting.

[@Aviatorst3v3]

Love is a losing game is an absolute heart string tugger.

[@penocasino]

What a hurt person. May she rest well. Thank you for your music.

[@terryoneil7128]

...she got a swagger that's sexy and gangster... whew, nailed it! This was f-ing phenomenal! Great reaction!

[@ponorj]

She was a hardcore music legend in so many ways!!! I love the one and the only Amy Winehouse! No one wrote or sang like her ever and she will forever be missed

[@mickidonahue4038]

Growing up with Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, you can hear it in her music. She was a songwriter that didn't play. She was so beautiful and honest. Look at her young performances. She was a bright light.

[@jonadavies]

Me & Mr. Jones is one of my favorites. Truly a sad turn of events for such an amazing talent.

[@ryanrivera2430]

Rest in power Amy.

[@davidromero6998]

That entire album is swag all the way

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

I am so happy I found this video because Amy Winehouse means everything to me. Like you for real just earned a new sub and I can’t wait to share this with my friend group. As for where to start next Amy’s other big hit was “You know I’m no good”. Which is basically a Jazz orchestrated tango with Hip Hop style drum patterns. But another good song of hers would be “Stronger than me” which most definitely shows her swag and cheeky writing style.

[@judsong]

Lovely

[@Eric-il2du]

Thank you! I love Amy but can never pull out the catalog to say what to listen to. Both of these are great suggestions.

[@SinistrousWoodlove]

I dig it! As a long time metalhead most popular music leaves me cold. This song in particular really got to me when I first heard it, and I purchased the album soon after. Such a great album, such a great talent. I miss her.

[@FWM50]

Her last performance was a duet with Tony Bennett.

[@Raine_Dog_Life]

Love me some Amy, what a voice she had ❤️‍🔥 hi guys 🤍✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@thesoundpurist]

8:30 I'm with you. How can you get the chords this quickly? His ear training must be spotless. I play guitar since over 35 years, I'm not even halfway there.

[@revylokesh1783]

Chord/scale relations. If you know the scale (via the melody) and the tonic, figuring out the chords is usually pretty easy. Tonic, subdominant, and dominant is usually what you figure out first.

[@nidhishshivashankar4885]

Also voice leading. IV is 2 notes up from I etc ,

[@alyssahudson1743]

This was another great song to do I've always loved to listen to new great music such a great artist

[@lizmil]

This was the censored version. There is a great live, acoustic performance of this that is worth checking out.

[@lefty36]

i heard love is blind is an incredible song by her, the chord progressions, lyrical content, and vocal performance is one of a kind

[@davidsleith7222]

voices like this dun come around often, rip amy, hope you're at peace lass.

[@JJSFC]

If you revisit Amy Winehouse, please go with You Know I’m No Good. Respect from the U.K!

[@nilsb.2]

Look at Richard´s peaceful face starting at 6:04 🙂...this song hooked him !!!

[@borpinteric]

Love the duo-reacts and for the next Amy song, I'd say You Know I'm No Good would be the sensible choice!

[@gudulpif264]

Lol the dude being bored and playing on the piano the whole time 😂

[@johnc7764]

the whole album is amazing. and so is The B-Sides. what a loss

[@hybridgaming8341]

i really enjoy this channel since it's got some actual analysis and not just a slack-jawed "reaction" lol. i would really love for you all to check out the song Inner Sanctum by Armory. They're a relatively unknown power metal band but the songwriting and musicianship is world-class.

[@laupstad]

I got chills when you started playing the song after the it was done. Really good! You never even heard it before?

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Love is a losing game Tears dry on their own Honestly. Anything on Back to Black and Frank is good also.

[@fkcoolers2669]

Even though she had some technique to her singing I think she's a perfect example of conveying emotion being so much more important than perfect technique when it comes to certain types of music

[@seantimmons5900]

This song and postmodern jukebox KZbin channel have 100 % in common.

[@guybrewin556]

You should do Tears Dry On Their own, great music, great singing, has her style but different enough to Back To Black and Rehab

[@mifnp8887]

Please do 'Between the Cheats' by Amy Winehouse. It's a fantastic 50s style with WICKED lyrics! ❤

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

'in my bed' is a good song she did when she first started out

[@AP-gb3eh]

She was a tremendous talent, authentic just a terrible drag she was lost to alcohol.

[@benharris144]

Didn't heroin play a big role...?

[@OfMaceAndMen]

@@benharris144 In a way, she had a problem with both but managed to get off the smack. In the years after she was just drinking, it was the drink that killed her with a blood alcohol of 5 times the legal limit when she was found dead.

[@penocasino]

You never get greatness without a cost.

[@jd35711]

_Valerie_ (live acoustic) please and thank you and you're welcome

[@joseandresbrenes]

November Rain it would be great guys. Keep it up

[@NoizyBonez]

As a metalhead myself i would really love to watch you listen to some Archspire or Inferi, it's technical death metal with many ideas taken from classical music.

[@Olivia_Neumann]

Just an idea - you could do a joint reaction to the rock nominations for this years Grammys, that’d be interesting to hear your takes on.

[@judsong]

I like this idea!

[@Olivia_Neumann]

Rad! and this was really cool, Back to Black has some phenomenal songs. Devastating to imagine what kind of musician and woman she could have been if she’d made it through.

[@SteveCoronado2]

Here’s a testament to your channel, I never listened or thought about this artist. Not a fan of pop culture but eventually I give things a try and enjoy it. Hence my watching this reaction 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻

[@Greatmeasures]

Same experience for me. I was so glad I enjoyed this song.

[@eklypised]

Ya I found Spiritbox - Circle of Life through this channel

[@annepalmer4912]

Another wonderful talent hounded by the British tabloid press 😢

[@Ketrab-er7wn]

First time this early! Was hoping to maybe get a Children of Bodom reaction :) one of the best melodic death metal bands out there, and they take a lot of classical inspirations in their first album. Also have a keys player so Judson could go n depth on that

[@WitchOnABroomstick]

Great Nu-metal band! Thanks for the reaction. I highly recommend to take a listin and react to Stargazer by Nightwish(Live with Floor Jansen). It has some opera elements too!

[@soakedbearrd]

She has some good songs

[@ryanrivera2430]

Great*

[@grahamboffey457]

One chord wonderfulness.

[@smellyhoover]

Love Is A Losing Game!

[@LewisRowe-id6kr]

great review

[@geoffmiller271]

Check out her live acoustic version of Valerie, incredible!

[@lukag977]

Maybe its time for Primus Too Many Puppies ;)

[@The_Masked_1der]

Or Tommy the cat.. or, as a pick no one else has seemed to have on any reaction channels, American Life, or Is It Luck? But any Primus is good Primus, it's always gonna be weird, interesting, and indefinable as any genre or anything other than Primus

[@plta1]

you should def listen to "you know im no good", love that song

[@casteliero]

If Judson is that much into psychedelic music, then I would recommend again that Kingston Wall - Shine on Me

[@jarmake1923]

Yes!

[@Jax52reg]

One of many who died too early!

[@Seanday1965]

Check out Mark Ronson,, he produced the album.

[@0mantra]

Ode to the mets is my jam!

[@vladmoriendi]

I'd like to see your take on Winter (Live), by Tori Amos. She's an incredible pianist and performer.

[@askinlad]

see the video that goes with it, beautiful

[@kimmyindie1]

You know I'm no good and fuck me pumps are both excellent!

[@Fix-kun]

For me the Amy's song is "Tears Dry On Their Own" for sure

[@AmyC-j4p]

Try Me and Mr Jones great song 💕

[@russwr4946]

checkin in ...

[@bumblefluff79]

I was never a fan but at the same time, I've not disliked anything I've heard of hers. Certainly unique and most of the time that's all that matters. Ps. Still amazed by Judson's ear to hand coordination.

[@Greatmeasures]

Me too. It never gets old

[@Starrz88]

Im a metalhead that somehow got Amy Winehouse songs in my playlist years ago when Pandora was huge The other song that i dug was "Just Friends"

[@lpsoldier2920]

Hello I just discovered this channel and it'pretty cool. I have a suggestion for a next reaction - Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold. It's some sort of symphonic metal Edit: make sure to check out the full version of the song, not the radio edit

[@judsong]

Actually the next video to upload is an Avenged tune but not that one. Im sure we will get to that one soon though

[@steflevieuxcriss]

Hey u got the '' Old Composer'' favorite headphones no ?

[@robertcr]

Hey Richard Pleeeeease introduce Necrophagist or Spawn of Possession to Judson 🤟🎁

[@eklypised]

You should listen to In This Moment - Roots. Or Evanescence - Sacrafice

[@shannontrough2680]

❤❤❤❤

[@sushrutshankar6561]

Make Judson listen to the "Ocean" by John Butler Trio. We would love to see his reaction.

[@gergopalyov3367]

Hi ! G.M. ! Please say something about the Bridge City Sinners band from authentic world, whatever which song choose... thank U! Steel Great !

[@Un4GivNX]

Try Equilibrium - Kurzes Epos! :D

[@littledittymusic727]

Next...AC/DC: Back in Black?

[@sjorsvandongen3464]

[@Greatmeasures]

He suggested doing a “pop” song. During the conversation, he mentioned Amy Winehouse. I knew the name but none of her music, so we went with it. Really glad we did.

[@sjorsvandongen3464]

Haha, actually quite impressive to have never heard her name or music (actively) until she died. A great pop song now and then can't hurt and you two still make great picks. When is Adele going to be reviewed? :P@@Greatmeasures

[@Greatmeasures]

@@sjorsvandongen3464 I feel like you’re listening in on our conversations. 😂 We recently discussed listening to her as well. We’ll probably do that the next time we get together, which should be this weekend.

[@sjorsvandongen3464]

@@Greatmeasures Sweet! Adele is different type of singer of course (had her own struggles) and is actually the obvious go-to choice after Amy.. As you two seem to be into what I consider to be 'quality music': if you like a more leftfield 'poppy' choice, i'd recommend Lady Blackbird, and then especially the album Black Acid Soul. She is such a mature and soulful jazz singer (just for your own entertainment) I love the fact that you are changing it up by listening to each others musical choices. Great stuff!

[@Greatmeasures]

@@sjorsvandongen3464 thank you!

[@Redaopeth]

Alice in chains unplugged ❤

[@MacTopher]

60s? You could drop that track in the 30s next to Billie Holiday abed nobody would blink

[@hmtqnikitashakur3399]

billy ocean~red light spells danger. no one has reacted to this and its stressed me out, cos sorry USA but you missed a treat w/Billy

[@DonaldLancon]

I can't help but suggest you check out 10-year-old Angelina Jordan's version of this song. (If your initial reaction to that is, "Eh… I'm not really into child singers", don't worry: she doesn't sound like any 10-year-old you've ever heard.) She couldn't sing Amy's original lyrics (even the version of the song that you listened to here was censored in one spot, because of a particularly crude reference to male anatomy in the first verse), so she totally rewrote them from scratch in one day. Then she rehearsed and recorded the song with a small orchestra the next day, using an arrangement of Amy's music. And then the resulting "music video" was released the day after that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpO7hn6whN10ebc She was working with a subset of the in-house orchestra for the Norwegian radio broadcaster NRK, which explains the quick turnaround time. (Just for the record, her performance was very nearly captured live: she apparently only recorded two full takes, the seond of which constitutes almost the entire final product.) Anyway, not to "spoil" anything, but she really "leans into" the somewhat "monotonic" nature of Amy's vocal melody, so I can't say it's one of my favorite covers of hers to listen to. But she sings it quite well, and in her "Amy voice", so the effect is quite surprising to most people. (She is endlessly compared to Amy Winehouse, but trust me: she can sing in lots of other ways, as well.) And while I also have a few "issues" with her lyrics (she sings "I cry" one too many times for my taste), there are some real flashes of brilliance in there, too, IMO. (Unfortunately, the version of her lyrics that a web search will turn up - from a certain crowd-sourced lyrics website - is _riddled_ with errors.) If you do react to her, many Angelina fans will come out of the woodwork to give you a ton of information about her and to request lots of other covers and originals. She really is quite a remarkable talent.

[@TheBFN]

Seems like some are just born with a darkness inside and a 🐵 on there back... Tragically sad to see the darkness win...ive fought that darkness and seen its face...its scary but so far ive won the battles... I cant listen to alice in chains without feeling sad for layne and thinking about all the great music that could have been

[@KathleenMerrill-z7l]

It drives me crazy that you used the censored version.

[@thesoundpurist]

Great singer. Why being this messed up gives you this raw style? I mean have you ever seen Billie Holiday (just see her eyes) with Mary Osborne? My God... Mary was killing it though. Greatest and most mysterious artists ever.

[@judsong]

Billie is on my top 10

[@thesoundpurist]

@@judsong I'm not even into jazz music and she has a special place in my heart. A bit in the same way Bill Evans is fascinating me ; )

I’m familiar with the name? Rehab or whatever? So posing and condescending - and likely untrue.

[@thegodpopper8934]

This edited version of the song is annoying, removes the edge and the message to the track

[@banditrider613]

Isn't good music just fabulous ..

[@mirjamvond1731]

You Americans and your censored music 😉 Ruining music with silly noises

[@edwardkent]

Pretty much the whole song and everything about it was stolen from Desmond Decker and the Israelittes......liked her, but this plagarism at it's worst....

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

Boy no the hell it wasn’t and don’t even start spreading that misinformation. This whole entire song was basically Mark Ronsons interpretation of 60’s girl groups. Specifically the song “Baby Love” by the wonderful Diana Ross and The Supremes. The song melodically samples from the beginning intro but creates an entire instrumental of its own. Making it more sinister with a Bonds like element. Please do your research next time before you type some more foolishness.

[@ctrlinc05]

I definitely recommend reacting to Love Is a Losing Game, Tears Dry on Their Own, & You Know I’m no Good. she was an amazing artist.
