Ocean11 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 If Amy had come to me, I would have helped her through cold turkey, nursing her with intensive shots of nourishing fluid. I could have slapped her around until she learned to get a bit more music into her voice too. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 At least that is one less junkie on the planet, plenty more left though. She was a total mess from years back! Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 She was a junkie. So what? She was annoying, sure, but that's more to do with the media thing. As for her music. "**** genius" is a little much. I didn't particularly like the genre but she was a good song writer. Simple catchy melodies over thick, rich chord progressions. I think the whole Afro-American-retro-image thing often got in the way of the songs. They would stand stronger if it was just her and her guitar. -Which is unlike most of the modern electronic music which is all atmospherics and little substance (though I would prefer to listen to modern electro stuff 80% of the time.)

Ocean11 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think the original is a good deal more talented. Not to mention alive. [video:youtube]http://youtube/NS7TbVuHtRI Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 She was quite a good singer but I'm not really into 50s/60s style soul/jazz and so never really listened to her music. Curtis/Marvin/Stevie type "new soul" is more my thing. Even before the spiral of addiction and self-destruction took hold, she seemed pretty good at winding certain kinds of people up just with her look and sound, so good on her for that. Up the yoof! etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Karnidge 2 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I liked her music. But come on, she made 2 albums! Lots of potential to become great though. Silly lady. Link to post Share on other sites
