Rapper FIRST TIME Reaction to Amy Winehouse - Back To Black!

[@justadadpostingstuff2746]

Bro... this girl... its a tragedy... she was soul personified... a voice that is a gift to us all...

[@Delseyyeh]

She died 101 times 😂

[@sersastark]

I'm forever, and I mean FOREVER, pissed at Blake Fielder Civil for essentially killing her. He took her from us all. He's on the same shit list as Yolanda Saldovar who killed Selena.

[@phoenix0153]

Ngl, this is my first time ever time hearing her sing... and I'm damn near 40! I've only ever seen her in memes and such and now I feel awful for never checking into her music for now with that sort of voice

[@steelearmstrong9616]

@@sersastark No he didn’t. I loved her and her music but each individual needs to be accountable for their actions. She made a choice. That choice ended her life. Blaming others or drugs is not being accountable. It’s like saying that crystal meth made you take it

[@illeagle8041]

@@phoenix0153 I cant suggest this album enough. absolutely great from beginning to the end

[@danperry7019]

Amy was born in London to Jewish parents. Rest in peace a true legend.

[@TheHouZeR88]

Everything she touched was gold. Losing her was a huge blow to music.

[@jeffstevens4262]

and to all those of us who loved her.💔

[@Mystique2u]

Still love Amy's music! It broke my heart watching her go into a downward spiral so quickly. 🙏🏾

[@glambertini4709]

She sang, she wrote, she composed... and yes she could be crude with her lyrics, she sang like she spoke, she sang her truth. Amazing, amazing talent, I miss her so much.

[@marlew6629]

You need to listen to the acoustic version of "Valerie". It's a shocking performance. One of the best live vocal performances of all time.

[@Ontheroxxwithsalt]

Valerie is my favorite Winehouse

[@scottishemmaa2457]

I always feel so bad for the Zutons now - once Amy covered Valarie, it became her song!

[@conradcoleby]

She was born and lived in London, UK

[@natashafletcher600]

I like the Zutons version better @@scottishemmaa2457

[@autumnwinter1462]

Hard agree

[@ladychatelaine697]

I might be 75 yrs old, but I just love this song! Amy was so talented and died tragically and far too soon! R.I.P. Amy...😪🇬🇧

[@i_kissed_a_pixie1537]

She was raw talent and touched the sun and burned. Fly high Amy, RIP

[@walkerig1]

"Tears dry on their own" is just wonderful. Listen to it but "Love is losing game" is next level.

[@FirstbornUniQorn]

the whole album is amazing tbf though

[@happybunny8704]

Love is a losing game is a heartbreaker ..RIP Amy

[@fayesouthall6604]

She hits notes in that song

[@mifnp8887]

AGREED. ❤

[@chelseahaley8350]

Love Amy!! She sits at the very top of my list of favorite female vocalists!! The cover she does of Valerie is absolutely amazing!! She is sorely missed!! ❤❤

[@darksideofthemood]

Burying her heart, singing for a man who abused her and ruined her life..... I miss Amy everyday. What a woman, what a tragedy. And yes, Amy was Jewish. Born and raised in England.

[@Ontheroxxwithsalt]

Fun fact: Adele and Amy Winehouse went to the same high school at the same time! That must have been some fierce competition for the lead role in the high school musical.

[@chrisspellman8545]

And Amy was probably better😲😳

[@Donna185]

I don't think they went at the same time. Amy was 5 years older and at the Brit school 1998-99. Adele graduated in 2006.

[@clairberkon4834]

​@@chrisspellman8545IS better 😊

[@wordforger]

lol. Unless it was Sweeney Todd, they'd more likely be competing for the mother/witch role.

[@evan.iraheta]

That's not true

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Although English, Amy's parents were were Jewish with an Ashkenazi Jewish background. Her father, Mitch, was a window installer/taxi driver and her mother, Janis, was a pharmacist.

[@Lovelee123]

Her great, great grandfather emigrated from Minsk, in 1891, possibly to escape persecution for being Jewish as this was an area where pograms took place. The surname Winehouse is an anglicised version of Weinhaus. In 1891 England and Wales census the only people with this surname lived in London.

[@therappats946]

​@@Lovelee123they are Russian Jewish And Russia -israel has a good relationship? They got visa-free agreement between them right and Israeli didn't send any supplies to Ukraine? But they arrived from Belarus I think. . Not that's wring because uts US/Nato War against Russia in Ukraine Like they wanted. Dont know if you need to marry a jew. But was not religious.she Said several tines

[@yvonnesanders4308]

Her dad was an ass.and messed her up

[@lisastark8907]

​@therappats946 WHAT? That made absolutely no sense, and it was way off topic! I PROMISE that I would NEVER EVER accuse you of having a high level of intellegence. I will say that you make ME feel BRILLIANT! Thanks! 😂😂

[@karenhaney9431]

He mother was born in New York, then moved to London. Great-great-grandfather on Dad's side emigrated from Minsk to London in 1891.

[@davidfrania8990]

Yes, you are right...she said it. Honestly, every time I hear Amy's voice I get a little sad...sad for what could have been. She was magnificent, both in her lyrics and her music. I still remember the day she died I was on my way to work and heard about her death on the car radio. It was such a shock and I thought about her all that day. Such a magnificent body of work in such a short time. Gone too soon...RIP, Amy!

[@lordylou1]

Poor Amy. She wore her inside on the outside and showed the world by singing about it. She was a huge loss, not only to music but to people. God bless her. Another you should take a look at is the middle thumbnail right at the end of your video. Rag n Bone Man, Human. It's amazing.

[@raezugg]

Rag n Bone Man is AHMAZING!

[@TheDivayenta]

She has a great jazzy duet with Tony Bennett live, too!

[@karenfryberger4260]

Yes indeed. Black Pegasus, PLEASE consider reacting to that duet. Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse - "Body and Soul". Won a Grammy in 2012. Tony Bennett and Mitch Winehouse (on behalf of Amy Winehouse) accepted the award, as sadly Amy had passed the year before.

[@ponorj]

Brother! You seriously need to give her music some time and exploration. She is a hardcore music legend and nobody wrote music or sang like her in the last two decades. She was just one of a kind and can easily be compared to the likes of Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Ella, etc. Amy wrote so many beautiful and timeless classics. She will forever be missed

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

Amy and Janis Joplin were two of the best female singers that each died at around 27. Their voices were so unique that hearing this today brings back many old memories.

[@nancilane5069]

I just mentioned in my comment posted above that Amy is now a member of "The 27 Club." So heartbreaking. She, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, and others died tragically at 27 years old.

[@shaundewar7397]

Her first album "Frank" is pure class and so perfectly Amy

[@illeagle8041]

Im gonna have to revisit that one. I absolutely love Back to Black , the entire album. but just didnt get into Frank. Im off to do some homework

[@pamelabryer9744]

My favorite Amy Album🎙🎼😪

[@blahblahblah6898]

The best album vocally and in terms of chords and musicality in general. Its a perfect combination of jazz and hip hop. Honestly one of the very best first albums I ever heard. The lyrics are also genius as always

[@MrsLynB]

Amy was amazing. Her drug & alcohol addiction was sadly her downfall. She was with this fella who they say influenced her a lot in the drugs & drink. Amy went to school with Adele & other singers & actors famous here in the UK. I was lucky to see Amy live in concert it was amazing! Amy was English born in London to a Jewish father & Christian mum. Amy’s dad was seen a lot when she was famous. Plus after she died bless him it was heartbreaking to see him. No parent should bury a child. Amy was extremely talented but she never realised how talented & amazing she was. She had so many insecurities it was heartbreaking. Rest peacefully Amy. Always loved never forgotten xx

[@kimgardner3341]

Every time I hear this song I can feel this amazing artists pain.. her eyes in her video portrays her sorrow & she sings about her life with such raw emotion, it’s difficult not to feel it, whether you’re an empathetic type of person or not. I guess it’s subjective to what we believe she is burying… but to me it’s her broken heart 💔 I too believe she was taken far too young & had so much more talent to share with the world. RIP Amy Winehouse 🌹 xx

[@Jude_196]

AGREE - I always took it to mean she was burying her broken, now-dead, heart....just SO impactful...

[@leahmcnatt7591]

The documentary "Amy" can be streamed. Well worth the watch!

[@art3mis290]

Thank God she had time on Earth to leave us such jewels as this. Another artist who left us way too early. Thank you sir for keeping her memory/music alive.

[@Greymange]

Amy was one of those flames who burned bright and hard and briefly. She was amazing and her music will forever stay timeless

[@lorettapowell3533]

Amy Winehouse is my #1 choice for female singer, Love her soulful voice, she will always be my favorite, sad we lost her so young. glad you enjoyed her music. She is a treasure to the music industry. love your reactions and your music videos.

[@honeybrown1997]

In the original music video, the camera panned to the headstone which read, "R.I.P. the Heart of Amy Winehouse". The scene was edited out after she died. Somewhere I have that original video that I downloaded when the song was first released in 2007. I was mesmerized by the video and song. I miss her so.

[@ozfan1958]

It’s a shame that because of her substance-abuse history a lot of people assumed that she died of a drug overdose. However, that is not true. She had been clean for quite a while, but decided to get really drunk and she ultimately died of alcohol poisoning. She battled bulimia and at time of her death her brother said he thinks her body was just so frail and weak that it couldn’t take it.

[@soulie1971]

You should react to her acoustic, stripped down versions! Just her voice and guitar..

[@DenUitvreter]

She doesn't need guitar either.

[@julesmaher5637]

H and her cover of Valerie is amazing

[@MamaJewels99]

You know I’m no good, is my absolute favourite Amy song. Such a talent lost way too soon.❤

[@wyvernwood5675]

My absolute favourite of hers, is 'Love is a losing game' - the live version from SXSW Austin is just beautiful

[@lisamorgan9582]

My daughter introduced me to Amy Winehouse. I lost my daughter at the age of 38 due to heart issues. She was an artist also. But, I listen to Amy often because she reminds me of Heather. ❤

[@yannhollister9091]

you can feel her soul in her voice, she was amazing 😢

[@vickifallon9182]

Amy Winehouse was a breath of fresh air, from the past. I am 68 and miss her. Bring on the new artist's that show this new generation what us oldies enjoyed in the 60s and 70s, as Amy and Adelle are doing now.

[@janb92]

She’s my favorite artist of all time. The old mixed with the modern is incredible to me

[@stevemercer6976]

Props to Mark Ronson for an awesome production job on this and other albums. He's a hitmaker.

[@brittany6315]

He really is such an incredible producer. They made magic with this album.

[@fionaspath3332]

She reminds me of those sultry singers of the 30's... 💛

[@stevebrown9955]

Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 - 23 July 2011) was an English singer and songwriter. She was known for her deep, expressive contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, rhythm and blues, reggae and jazz.

Amy was so good that even when you know how good she is, it's still startling.

[@richardgiles5608]

You should check out the 'Valerie' video where she sings it live just sat on a couch with an acoustic guitarist. "You Know I'm No Good" is also a favourite

[@claireb9127]

Fun fact, two of the best female artists, Amy Winehouse and Adele went to school together! So sad that Amy has left us but we will always have her wonderful music.

[@Spugedelia77]

You can add Floor Jansen to that list. Floor singing Lady Gaga song Shallow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2eboZhqlsRssM0

[@denniturner3967]

Why is it that when mentioning British female artists, Joss Stone is never mentioned? In my book, she's as good or better than most of them!

[@violetsky3067]

Yes, the lyrics were that raunchy. She was amazing. Im so enjoying hearing your reactions to beloved classics

[@jazzylyn5857]

Listen to the vids of her doing these songs live. The studio versions are nice, but her live ones break your heart. She's so vulnerable and raw, often pi*sed and high, which only adds to her rawness.

[@rebllion9866]

You need to watch her live performances. There is a great documentary with a live performances in a small church in a small British island ... just gold...

[@gminusmark]

This song is devastatingly sad when you know the story behind it

[@Jinxy44]

Like Ren, she doesn’t hold back on her feelings to write about her life. Best female vocalist in a very long time. RIP, Amy. Great reaction. Thanks

She did a cover of Teach Me Tonight that was fantastic.

[@DonovanJSzypura]

Sadly missed, a pure tragedy, she had a fantastic original voice and she’s still played a lot on UK radio

[@Thomas-rw9nt]

RIP Amy. You beautiful soul.

[@AB-C1]

You should react her (live) performances on The "Jools Holland's Hootenanny" NYE 2006 (TV show) She duetted with Paul Weller who's a LEGEND! And Jools Holland Also a Legend! Did "Heard it Through Grapevine" and "Don't Go To Strangers" WHICH ARE PHENOMENAL PERORMANCES! POSSIBLY HER BEST LIVE FOR ME!! (and a couple others on that show)!! She's English from London (but Jewish as far as I know). Her Dad is Black Cab Driver in London. The name "Winehouse" is a classic Jewish surname, her features are classic Jewish features aswell.. - She was a Genius Artist! Weird she would have been same age as you now! MADNESS the Waste Of TALENT and Young life! (She sadly joined the very long list of the "27 Club"!) But will NEVER be forgotten!! RIP! 🙏 Cheers from London 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

he asked for her ethnicity not where she lived :D She is jewish

[@DmON_WINGS]

@@r0mannam0r is happens to be present tense. She isn't present considering the fact that she just happens to be dead. Therefore you should have said "she was Jewish " which just happens to be either a Nationality or a religious grouping, neither of which happens to be an ethnicity. The devil is in the detail. You really ought to think things through before trying to be smart.it not as easy as some of us make it ĺook.

[@r0mannam0r]

@@DmON_WINGS wrong because your claim is based on the assumption that the Human is only its body and is therfore dead with the death of the body but this is not a proven scientific fact either way. thats why its fine to say that she still is Jewish :). Jews are a tribe and an ethnicity first comming from an ancient place called Judea the word Jews is derived from the geographic location called Judea and sure you can call the spiritual practices this tribe does a Religion but this at most secondary thats why Judaism is also often reffered to as an ethno religion

[@autumnwinter1462]

@@DmON_WINGS Technically it is kind of both ethnicity and religious

[@lizvickers7156]

​@r0mannam0r You're claiming that God and all that crap is real😂😂 no its not. She was as that other person said as English as you can get. Being Jewish is a religion not a ethnicity. The only reason she looks as she does is because of heavy makeup and dyed black hair.

To answer your question of her ethnicity, she was Jewish and based in London. I still can't believe such a talent just went from the world

[@hahatoldyouso]

Her entire catalogue is amazing….she was burying her heart. They cut that bit out where it says on the headstone at the end

[@davidemery4759]

It’s a case study in what “yes men” will do to you. Her father famously allowed the label to convince him to convince her to keep going and not get the help she needed. She was crying for help. Rehab was an ironic song because it was an addict that wrote it and she even spelled it out in the lyrics, “…and my daddy says I’m fine…”. Valerie is my favorite song by her and Mark Ronson did a bangin’ video after she passed with her vocals on the track.

[@jedislap8726]

Ummm she died 4 years after Valerie came out.

[@amandarooney932]

[Source: Exhibition on Amy Winehouse] Winehouse’s paternal family-originally spelled Wienhause-immigrated to England from Belarus in the late nineteenth century, and settled in London’s East End. Both her mother’s and father’s side were Jewish, and though they were not particularly religious, they shared a strong Jewish cultural identity and adhered to a number of traditions, such as celebrating Passover and gathering for Shabbat dinners. Many of Winehouse’s family members were involved with music and had an influence on her own artistic development. She especially considered her paternal grandmother Cynthia Winehouse (née Gordon) a great inspiration for her distinctive sense of fashion and her passion for jazz and big band music.

[@mrbrad4566]

Just two albums, Frank, and Back To Black. In which she lays her love life out for all to see. Each relationship makes her feel more and more like trash. But all the songs are beautiful. "Take the Box" from the first album is my personal favourite. Then "Love is a losing game" from the second.
