Cupid

[gwynnega]

From the Mainstream Isn't So Bad...Is It? blog: Amy Winehouse's great version of the Sam Cooke classic, "Cupid" (along with versions by Cooke and Otis Redding). Apparently Winehouse's massive substance abuse hasn't messed up her singing ability (yet).

MARRY ME.

Isn't it awesome?

Although I may have spoken too soon about Winehouse...

Ohhh poor girl. She needs to ditch that loser and STAY in rehab, Amy.

[gwynnega]

Yeah, really. The sad thing is, when I first heard "Rehab," I thought she was being ironic...

I sure hope she gets herself together.

Yeah, I dunno whether the creative types are drawn to the addicting shit, or the other way around, but just....Jesus. Come on, Amy! Rehab isn't so bad! Well okay, the food sucks. But really, not so bad!

Some more good music stuff...

I think Amy Winehouse is a genius. If she did coke herself to death, which is not entirely outside the realm of the possible, then we would probably talk about her the way we talk about Hendrix and Lennon and similar awesome tragic dead types. I think she sings as well as Ella Fitzgerald

[gwynnega]

I agree that Winehouse is massively talented--the most brilliant singer to come around in years. I just wish she would take a tip from Ella Fitzgerald and start thinking about longevity, rather than grooming herself for the latest Senseless Death Way Too Young award...

Word. Although if she lived a more sensible life she probably wouldn't be able to write the kind of lyrics she comes out with..
