I have been trying to figure out who Amy Winehouse is. You hear that she is a singer and she has some of the usual, um, problems that some young entertainers have. But I had never heard her music.
So, Celeste mentioned Cupid earlier, I think in reference to Maurice, and I was thinkin 'Sam Cook! I love Sam Cooke!'. This came up, Amy Winehouse's cover of hs song.

So what's the verdict, Gary? Am I still the only what who doesn't quite get what all the fuss is about. Not my cup of tea. At All.
I do love her, though:

My kind of quirky. :-)
I'm late to this party as well, Gary. She does have a heck of a voice, that I will admit. :-)
Winehouse's voice reminds me of someone, but I dunno about her overall. BUT Feist, Lis, is a pottersblog fave!!!
I didn't know much about her either until I saw her performing on the grammys (via satellite) on Sunday last. I knew she had substance abuse problems and couldn't get a visa into the US for some related reason.
She performed "Rehab" and "I'm No Good", both of which I thought were pretty good. There are multiple versions of these two songs on Youtube. I prefer those two songs to the Sam Cooke cover, but that's just my opinion.
