 Amazing Artist, Too Explicit June 18, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I got this for my husband who is a fan. We really love Amy's retro style and unique vocals. I should have paid more attention to the explicit lyrics warning. We can't listen to this with kids in the house. It's just too much. I love the honesty and rawness, but it's too much. Duffy is a great alternative with a similar style and we can play her CD around kids.
 Overrated by ignorant white people June 18, 2008

Amy Winehouse has the singing chops of an average R&B singer. You could probably pick any female at random from the Cabrini Green neighborhood in Chicago, and they would be able to easily match her chops. Her "hit" single Rehab sounds like filler material from Motown. Not even a single. I guess if you're a British white chick, this qualifies you for all manner of accolades and critical praise. Wow, what a great sound, we've NEVER heard this before, and we've CERTAINLY never heard it done better!
 One of my Top 5 June 17, 2008

One of my Top 5 CD's i've ever bought. The voice, the music, the lyrics... i love this CD and this woman. Yeah, shes troubled - but the girl can sing. I find myself singing the songs all day, when the CD isnt even playing. To me that's the sign of truly good music. Buy and enjoy!
Pity! June 14, 2008

I managed to listen to this entire album without buying it. That was one of the best things I've done. Let me say up front that I don't care a whit about Ms. Winehouse's personal life. And I have no problem with "odd" voices (or even weak voices when the music is right, ala Eric Clapton). Here, I just don't see what all the fuss is about.
The voice is pedestrian, the style is borrowed, the arrangements are second rate, the songs are, in my view, incredibly boring, and the overall product quality is nil.
I have a wide range of taste, from Bob Dylan to Janis Joplin to Antonio Carlos Jobim to classical. I see or hear no reason to purchase Ms. Winehouse's warblings because they just aren't good enough ... they're BORING!
 Love it June 8, 2008

I really love Amy Winehouse's voice. The CD is always in my car. Great purchase, wonderful sound.
