Amy Winehouse is up there with the likes of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Aretha - that’s how good she was. If you love this then you’ll go nuts over “You Know I’m No Good”.

[@lawrencekelli]

And Dusty Springfield another fab UK singer.

@@casumarzu-fr2zngiven time I think she would ,but sadly we will never know now !

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

Weeeeeeellllll..... Amy was good, but certainly not Holiday, Simone or Franklin level good.

[@thgeremilrivera-thorsen9556]

But I agree that "You Know I'm No Good" is an absolute banger!

[@jackmason4374]

[@juliehoward9654]

The whole 'Back to Black' cd is just music to your heart and soul. She was so talented.

Compared to Frank, the Back to Black album was just ok.

[@paulsmith2516]

I would absolutely say that Amy was a jazz singer, one of the very best. She was heavily influenced and inspired by Miss Etta James and Miss Ella Fitzgerald. A stunning talent and yes she did write her lyrics.

[@jamesh2401]

Agreed. There's some other genre influences in there too as well. But as a fan of Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James, I absolutely align with your comment. Such a tragedy, can only imagine the beauty she could have continued to bestow on the music industry.

[@yiuqwfj]

There's a new artist, Angelina Jordan, who follows in the steps of Amy. People sometimes mistake them when they just hear the track, because they sound so similar.

[@Missylife-t7m]

Her major influence was Sarah Vaughan

[@odelbert]

A voice that's sadly gone but never forgotten.

[@matthew8728]

Amy Winehouse one of this generations biggest musics loss. Such a talent; artist, singer, writer. RIP💔

[@sidneymartin7346]

In the original video, the box contains her "heart." It stated Amy's heart on the box. They changed it after she passed away.

[@joannparker1977]

OMG. Amy Winehouse. A jazz singer, a composer (she composed all her music), and a lyricist (she wrote all her lyrics). And - she had the same band she began with. Wanna find out what happened to Amy? Watch the documentary “Amy”. It won Best Documentary in 2015.

[@MikhnevichNatalya]

👍💓

[@iversenrasmus1]

The song is about AW losing that boyfriend, who introduced her to drugs (“You love blow and I love puff”), so now she only has black (as in the darkness with out him and ‘black’ as a metafor for heroin) left.

[@avidwriter2882]

Sounds like a great guy. /s

[@blahblahblah6898]

Its not a metaphor for heroine though. According to all accounts including her boyfriend’s she only first tried heroine more than a year after she wrote and released the whole album

[@agnesregards2286]

Amy got her start in jazz, a brilliant vocalist and a great feel for blues. I hope you react to more from her. In this 'funeral' procession, she was burying her heart, forever lost to the man who broke it. The song was released in 2006, Amy passed in 2011.

[@thegoatchild3545]

This song is autobiographical. She indeed wrote her own lyrics, and in her songs she told us everything. An incredible talent taken from us way too soon. Both her albums are excellent. Highly recommended!👍

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

A remarkable talent gone way too soon. "Valerie", "You Know I'm No Good" - magical and tragic. There's an excellent movie of her life, simply called "Amy" which is both uplifting and heartbreaking. Amy was born not far from me (though I'd long left before she arrived on the scene) - from one Barnet kid to another, RIP, beautiful woman.

[@hahatoldyouso]

Mark Ronson produced this album, he helped her bring out the 60s girl group sounds she wanted

[@redoz9768]

he did a great job

[@pluto_rising]

RIP Amy one of the best in the biz no doubt about it ❤❤❤

[@stephaniewashburn7700]

Amy was a Queen. That voice is iconic 🖤

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

and her styling was impeccable, but raw.

[@saintdon4461]

the line in the song "you love blow and i love puff",,wish it stayed that way

[@jimreid4367]

This song was released in 2006 five years before her death in 2011 . Great start to blues week maybe you could fit in another of her hits " You Know I'm no Good " . Or maybe The Beautiful South - A Little Time . The Beautiful South are an English band who had lots of hits in the late 80's and 90's . kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ2qq32toNiGrJY

[@kristaspecht]

Morning guys! Good choice! Amy had such a powerful voice! Definitely emphasis on her powerful voice! RIP Amy!❤️

[@paindilla1834]

You Know I'm No Good has always been a fav of mine. RIP Amy

[@eljefebridget]

I've always meant to listen to more of Amy's music so thank you for reminding me, this is great.

[@lordturbomose4982]

So I'm a metalhead, the hardest there has ever been ;) But this woman and especially this song... Club 27 contains only great people! R.I.P.

[@radicaladz]

Yet another star that burnt twice as bright for half as long. This track bears a lot of similar elements in terms of its composition to "Remember (Walking In the Sand)" by the Shangri-Las. Highly recommend that if you like the 60s girl group sound but with that same bluesy, jazzy, sadgirl edge.

[@mirfangu]

yes but i think back to black as a song to me is more similar to BE MY BABY by The Ronettes. if you listen to another track of Back to Black Album, the song called WAKE UP ALONE thats similar to walking in the sand.

[@radicaladz]

@@mirfangu - either way, you can definitely pick up that 60s girl group/soul/Wall of Sound vibe as a clear influence.

[@martinstubbs7974]

It was her heart being buried in the video. Great reaction guys!! Thank you and best wishes from the UK.

[@christiandent7211]

Me and Mr Jones. She wrote all of her songs.

[@gbulmer]

Small nit-pick, Amy Winehouse co-wrote several songs. She also covered several songs, for example "Valerie" was written by the Zutons. Best Wishes. ☮

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

@@gbulmerNah I don’t think Amy had many co writers. Maybe on other songs but Back to Black was written by her. So were most of the songs on the album.

[@gbulmer]

@@BozeDoesGodsWork Thank you for replying. A few things: 1. You wrote "She wrote all of her songs'" which is *_FALSE_* 2. I didn't claim anyone else wrote the song "Back to Black" (non sequitur?) 3. How many co-writers are needed to make "She wrote all of her songs." false? One is enough. Best Wishes. ☮

[@lawrencekelli]

She has that Motown feel feel for me. Back to black is her sadness of him going back to his Ex. It's so sad. A fantastic song.

[@stormfire1995]

The song was about her relapse after a bad break up . Black is a term for herion which she has struggled with until her death. And it even mentions her other struggles with Crack cocaine when she said "life is like a pipe and I'm a tiny penny rolling up the the walls inside" the song is very sad because this breakup ultimately led to her death she is truly missed. Noone else will ever compare.

[@redoz9768]

In my opinion this was her masterpiece, such an amazing performance of a very unique song. RIP Amy

[@ShanLH5]

Don’t know many of her songs, but ‘Take the Box’ is my favorite of the ones I’ve heard. Another heartbreak song with really great lyrics

[@michaelasay8587]

Well listen to al of her songs!?

[@mirfangu]

well, adele said the song is her fav too!

[@shakarussanders9911]

Take the box is a great song! In fact the Frank album is great in general!

[@lindacoy7165]

I loved her music. Nice choice.

[@darkmatter6714]

The thing with British artists is that they don’t pay much attention to trying to fit their music into defined genres. Often it’s a blend and a mash of several sounds. That’s why they don’t always make it through to the US market - the music industry demands to know what genre it fits in and if it didn’t, it gets ignored.

[@lawrencekelli]

Like Australian music .That's why I love British Music.

[@Whippy99]

That’s such a good point. 🙂

[@scatton61]

That's right. And the national BBC radio stations are not as genres specific

[@arcillasteehouwer48]

Pretty retarded or at least very limited to try to put every artist in a genre..Sigh and lol 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@kayyv977]

fun fact: the stunt tombstone in this video had “rip the heart of amy winehouse” written on it so I guess the box stands for burying her heart

[@susanbothwell2234]

She wrote her own lyrics. Going back to black is both going back to depression but also using & drinking. She's speaking of her relationship with Blake Fielder Civil & their tortuous relationship that was true, deep love ...soul mates, but it wasn't a healthy relationship. He would go back to his ex, who knew about Amy, then return. I'd guess it was a constant cycle of highs and lows. It's just soooo heartbreaking to imagine the deep emotional pain she endured & for so many years. They couldn't be with each other but also couldn't be without each other. Many surmise that her untimely death could have easily been from her broken heart. She quit drugs in her later years but still struggled with drinking. The day she passed away, she was alone and in her room it's reported, there were 3 empty vodka bottles. Her tiny body had just given out and couldn't take any more. I didn't listen to her or know much about her until just a few years ago. Now...I'm obsessed with her life & music and cannot stop listening to her incredible voice.

[@annettemoore7264]

My heart broke for Amy, 😔 everyone around her let her down, just like Whitney, both of them had so much more to offer . 👍

[@wainsws57]

The greatest modern blues singer we don’t have anymore 😢😢

[@MikhnevichNatalya]

[@yiuqwfj]

Everybody is unique, but the soul and music lives on within other artists. Angelina Jordan for one sings in the spirit of Amy imo.

[@stevenanderson912]

RIP Amy such a huge loss to the music world ❤ she was so gifted ❤

[@Angel-xi6vv]

There's a live performance by her of the song "I love you more than you'll ever know" and it's just so soulful that it hurts. She sings it so beautifully. Please check it out 🙏🏼

[@MattMuirhead]

Guys.... Amy is considered one of the great jazz vocalists ever. Jazz. :)

[@Cathidee]

Such a beautiful and unique voice. She left us way to soon for sure.

[@dh6651]

What a treat that was! Great reaction! You might want to try Buddy Guy’s It Feels Like Rain. Great song.

[@Anahara1181]

No matter how many times I hear this I get chills and tears ❤❤😢 Her lyrics are so powerful, she holds nothing back.

[@sterling8298]

The song is so fire.😊❤ Amy winehouse was gone too soon.😢

[@chelseahaley8350]

Valerie is my favorite song by her! If you check it out, do the live acoustic version!

[@mirfangu]

fyi, she did cover to that song. originally by The Zuttons.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

This woman was for real. I will never disrespect her.

Live versions are the best with Amy, she literally died 'cause of love... RIP Amy

[@JohnWayne-vf5bs]

So sad what happened to her and I wish she was still here rest in peace

[@BozeDoesGodsWork]

FINALLY! Some Amy fucking Winehouse. God I love this woman so much. Can’t wait for you to hear “I’m no good”

[@mifnp8887]

Please check out 'Between the Cheats'. Salaam Remi was quoted as saying she was really "going through some stuff" when she wrote & recorded that song. It's one of her BEST! 50s vibe, open up your chest and expose your feelings kind of song.

[@KenBober]

Only thing I knew about her was she was mentioned what the record labels do after your death in the ministry song ghouldiggers. Hope one day yiu guys check that song out

[@angiepanaexx]

Awww, i love your reactions. I subscribed for your Ren vids, but i really hope you do more Amy too. She was incredible. You won't regret doing more. 😊

[@barriehull7076]

In 2012, Winehouse was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork - the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover - to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires. On 14 September 2014 (which would have been Winehouse's 31st birthday), a statue was unveiled of her, which was created by sculptor Scott Eaton, at Stables Market in Camden Town, north London. Wikipedia.

[@lizroberts1569]

It was released while she was alive, bless her she was almost list many times.

[@seanq.5471]

Such an amazing voice. I thoroughly enjoyed this very much. If y’all want very nice voices in songs, Listen to Red- If I Break. Need more recognition 😤

[@amyfox369]

I love Red and this song especially

[@weirdtrashcinema]

One of those artists i regret not getting into sooner. She was phenomenal.

[@steves9905]

one of the best breakup songs ever, by one of the best singers ever. and don't forget the band giving her that cool sound, the dap-kings

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

her and her powerfull voice were amazing, but what really gives me goosebumps it’s the emotion with what she performs, really pierces through your soul… and yes, she wrote her own lyrics

[@p-slipknotfreak]

God I love Amy

[@karenjordan9607]

I ❤ this song. RIP Amy 😢

[@ExUSSailor]

Another member of the 27 Club. Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, her, none of them made it past their 27th birthday.

[@tigerlily8447]

They died at age 27 so they made it past their 27th birthday.. not their 28th though

[@christinerobinson9372]

What the song meant: she evidently believed in their relationship and didn't realize she was just a side adventure. He went back to his main relationship and his old life without a backward glance, but she lost her reason for living.

[@niles8102]

I am a metalhead but loved her music! I have a poster framed with red roses (Her good luck charm) of her Grammy win presented by Tony Bennett. I have it hanging in my hallway :)

[@heidiv5488]

I'm glad you picked the right version of this video. Almost all the reactors I've seen use the censored version, which is annoying.

[@anthonyv1719]

If you like this then you should try a similar singer, same time, called DUFFY "Stepping Stone" - great singer.

[@yiuqwfj]

Or Angelina Jordan 😁

[@michelleboussiala4470]

Check out “Rehab”, “Valerie” and “You Know I’m No Good”. Amy Winehouse was a beast

[@JustDeannaJune]

Listen to NAS's track called 'Cherry wine' its almost 5 or 6 minutes long and features Amy!!! Its f*cking AMAZING!

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

She does a great acoustic version of this

[@kathycurtis7037]

Her heart is in the box

[@23gobears]

Blues week. Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas Flood live at El Macambo is an absolute must!!! Please don't let me down fellas

[@gablen23]

I would say the genre of her music is mostly soul, but there are elements of jazz, blues, and pop. According to RateYourMusic it is "Soul, Pop Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B, Jazz Pop". Anyway, after this you should listen to Adele: Rolling In The Deep, she is another great pop-soul diva from the UK.

[@loamrider3086]

And a dash of Ska. There's footage of Amy singing with The Specials show.

[@sammic7492]

To get the full impact of her voice check out the video of her acoustic version of Valerie, it will give you chills. She wrote a lot of her stuff.

[@knit_bear]

In answer to what's in the box it's Amy's heart (symbolically)

[@barriehull7076]

After her death, the singer broke her second Guinness World Record: for the most songs by a woman to simultaneously appear on the UK singles chart, with eight. Family and friends attended Winehouse's private funeral on 26 July 2011 at Edgwarebury Lane Cemetery in North London. Her mother and father, Janis and Mitch Winehouse, close friends Nick Grimshaw and Kelly Osbourne, daughter of Ozzy. Wikipedia.

[@mysterychuck]

I'd like to see them react to LP Lost on You live session. Not a blues artist per se but def a blues flavor to that song.

[@MegaJan666]

Amy composes and sings from her personal experiences, that's why her lyrics are powerful, and they convey those feelings. She was influenced by the great blues divas Billie Holiday Etta James...and as Bono (U2) said "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief all kill their inspiration and sing about the grief" R.I.P Amy

[@BJMauck]

Her heart is in the box.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Amy loved jazz and the old time singers from big band era, like Ella, Billie Holiday, etc. Tony Bennet considered her a great and did a collab with her. She was unique and passed too soon. How about doing some reading and researching on different eras of music. You would enjoy it I think and it would enhance your videos IMO. TY. RIP Amy

[@rachelhart.2386]

sitting on the couch acapella singing "Valerie" is as close to perfect as someone can do.......

Amy is more Jazz than blues. I know cos she sings my favourite Jazz song by Thelonious Monk R'ound midnight.

No, Amy Winehouse is not considered a blues artist. She's considered a pop singer with influences of old school R&B, jazz and 60s girl groups. In fact, she modeled her look after Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes (best known for "Be My Baby").

the small box is where some people that get cremated and then buried, there not alot of ashes left to bury. But in the video, I think it's Amy heart in the box that they bury
