Hailing from North London the vocal prodigy known as Amy Winehouse spent her early years balancing boyfriends and school just like most teenagers. However unlike her peers she was secretly maturing one of the most distinctive sets of vocal chords known to man.
Not being one to rest on her god given gift of vocal supremacy Amy’s love of all things Jazz moulded her into the finished article we marvel at today. Vocally Amy’s sound may be
more suited to a 50’s Manhattan basement club with swirling smoke and crushed velvet curtains but with her use of forefront beats and no surrender lyrics she is well and truly planted in the present.
Amy Winehouse knows she is a city girl and her debut album “Frank” (2003) holds no punches when it comes to delivery, scratchy beats interlaced with uplifting horns and a swinging Wurlitzer which perfectly balances the darker agonised lyrical content. The album also brought awards recognition with “stronger than me” winning a much converted Ivor Novello award for songwriting. Things were going well for Amy but they were about to get a damn site better with the release of her second album “Back to Black” (2006). For the second album Amy worked again with “Frank” producer Salaam Remi and also brought in, man of the moment, Mark Ronson.
Back to Black has been critically acclaimed across the world as well as bringing home 5 Grammy awards and a Brit award. All this success has bought its problems for Amy and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil their self destructive, drug laden life style has made them tabloid targets and has led to spells in jail and various other scrapes with the legal system.

poor girl
Wow, very nicely written.
Amy Winehouse LOOKS LIKE A TRANSVESTITE.
i love you amy winehouse you are so my rolemodel i dont care if you take drugs i love yooooooouuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
honestly,(BETTY) your so stupid. amy does not look like a man. she’s beautiful. but anyway i love amy and she’s very talented. I just wish she had some stable friends, and got a divorce from blake and became 100 percent completely estranged from her parents.
i love the AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BEAUTIFUL
You have such a remarkable voice and soul. This is a 64 yr old woman that gets it.
Amy totally rocks in the dress but that hair she needs scissor and a good hair dresser trust me.
Not sure I would call her beautiful, but I don’t think she really looks like a transvestite (kind of a terrible thing to say about a person unless they actually are a transvestite, and I would like to point out that many of the people who say such things aren’t exactly supermodels themselves). She looks like she’s had a hard time (which she has from what I hear). Folks are too judgmental. I’m also not sure wishing for her to become completely estranged from her parents is such a great thing. As a person who hasn’t spoken to his mother for a number of years, I can tell you it isn’t as easy as it sounds. Some parents can be pretty awful to their children, but when you get older you miss the parental connection regardless of how they treated you. I think wishing complete alienation between them is probably something that should require a bit more thought.
I love Amy Winehouse, but it is a pity it is being destroyed, but nobody has anything to do with it! And her biography is very, very, very, good, I lovely! And I love one of her musics, that is: Love is a Losing game!
Because I’m going through it now, a disappointment loving, and her music portrays that well! Thanks, Amy!
I like yo face
and yo music
