JAY'S FAVORITE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No good REACTION

[@Michael-wx7dr]

What really sets Amy Winehouse apart is not only her voice which was totally once in a generation, but also her songwriting abilities. She really was a poet. You should listen to Love is a Losing Game, a song that is equally beautiful as it is heartbreaking. She's one of the most influential artists in modern day music, we still see so many artists trying to replicate her sound and style but there will never be another like her. She exists entirely in her own league.

[@xerxesalmighty9444]

No, it’s her voice! But yes, great, underrated songwriter.

[@blahblahblah6898]

[@lorrainetaylor8570]

"Love is a losing game" makes me cry ..so so world weary an she was only 27 .sweet Beautiful Amy.💗💗

[@firstnamelastname6193]

" I cheated myself, like I knew I would. I told ya I was trouble, ya know that I'm no good" The raw emotion and vulnerability hit home to the point where it's almost haunting! Knowing you have something that is so good but also acknowledging that your impulses and poor decisions will probably ruin it.. She exposed her soul to the world and delivered her lyrics like the musical power house that she is. Taken away far too soon but her songs will inspire artists for decades to come.. RIP sweet angel..

Hard to believe she has been gone over a decade. The entire album is so beautifully produced--Marc Ronson really got traction for his career by pairing up with Amy. The song "Valerie" is my favorite, but this might be my 2nd. Thanks, Amber for a great Female Friday!

I miss Amy. Back to Black is a great album as well as the title song. I love this song and "Love is A Losing Game" and "Me and Mr Jones" "Rehab" You can tell in her voice she lived every last lyric in every single song on that album.

[@au-ni6ejsas]

its crazy, I live in London and I've just got home from a night out in the Hawley Arms, which was her local pub in Camden. Theres photos hung on the walls of her behind the bar and you can just feel Amys spirit the second you walk in! They play this song specifically all the time too. Just this second opened up my laptop and this was the first video i saw...so dope!

Can you even imagine what else this amazing & creative woman could have given us!?!

Amy Winehouse's band was the Dap Kings, who was originally with Sharon Jones, they are the bass and drums of this song. You should check out Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings perform "100 Days, 100 Nights". She's an amazingly soulful singer that you'll love.

[@simonatkinson6389]

Jazz is the genre she goes to most often but she can sing anything she chooses brilliantly. 'Go to Rehab' and 'Back to Black' are two more classic Amy songs.

[@xerxesalmighty9444]

Totally agree. Amy Winehouse could literally sing any genre. Even hip-hop elements are present. We only got a sample of her genius. But what a sample it was!

[@tyger166]

It's funny that at the height of her career I was never that fussed about her music. yet now listening to her tracks I look back and wonder what I was thinking? Everything about her was special, from the sound to the look - nobody was dressing like that at the time, yet it's iconic.

[@suburbia2050]

Same here, although I was in a phase of avoiding most music outside of clubs at the time, my housemate even used to mention seeing her at the Hawley Arms most Fridays and it went over my head, but for me the overt tabloid press fuss over her private life was a barrier, aren't they just generally horrible! I remember still being shocked and saddened enough to stand still in Woolworths in Camden when it was announced on the news though and I could hear the shocked whispers reverberate around the shop. Oh how the relentless march of time is so brutal!

[@dchiaroti]

I went to an Amy concert in 2011, in São Paulo, Brazil. She wasn't at her best (the show was 6 months before she died) and was nothing like she could have been. But even so, I got goosebumps almost the entire time. Very sad what happened to her. We lost one of the best artists that ever passed through the planet.

Amy Winehouse is one of those once in a generation talents. It will be a while before the next Amy, Mariah, Whitney, or Celine comes along. I didn't think she'd be around very long, but I did not expect it at 27.

[@robertreichle1]

True about Amy W, but... I feel like she's way better than any of the other names you mentioned. They have a lot of power, but Amy W had the greatest natural voice. Power isn't everything. A great voice. Lots of character. Matched with the right songs and music. That's where it's at, and that what we had from Amy. The others got famous mostly for showing off their capabilities. Amy just made great songs, no need to show off anything other than talent.

It's a KZbin comment. It is not the end all, be all list of who's better than who.

[@CoffeeConnected]

@@robertreichle1 I know exactly what you mean. Amy Winehouse doesn't feel like she's showing off with vocal tricks and makes it sound as if what she's doing is so casual. It feels more like realistic communication, similar to speaking, even when she is doing something impressive with her voice.

the words you are looking to describe her voice ..its like pouring warm honey into your ears

[@PedroConejo1939]

As soon as Amy Winehouse sings her first note, you just know you are encountering a power. Her musical backing is always spot on too. Have a look at Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love" - the All-Nighter version has a bit more punch than the original, which was popping anyway. In fact, dipping your toes into Northern Soul will be an interesting journey.

Never really listened to Amy Winehouse until recently. Her voice is natural, old soul bluesy that you don't hear anymore. I think the most talented and troubled souls gave us great art in the short time they were here. I think because it came from their very soul, they had to get it out. As tragic as it was to lose these people, Amy, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, too many to name, it would have been more tragic if they hadn't had the opportunity to share a piece of their deeply troubled souls.

[@misterdoe]

Amy picked the perfect collaborators -- her producer (Mark Ronson) and the band (the Dap-Kings, Brooklyn's own) were perfect for her. The band had that kind of relationship with another great singer, the late Sharon Jones. They played on her records, she sang on theirs, and they toured together. You should definitely check Sharon out sometime for Female Friday. Also, the main beat on this was at least partially sampled from maybe the most famous beat in the world -- "Funky Drummer," by James Brown (and the actual drummer Clyde Stubblefield). And finally, another Amy suggestion/request: "Love Is a Losing Game." Sounds like a lost Etta James track from the 60s.
