Occasional Superheroine

Amazing Voice

I'm pretty disenchanted by most popular music today but I really like this Amy Winehouse -- her music is like classic 60s girl group stuff/Motown dipped in hard liquor and harder living. It's the perfect counterpoint to these Britney/Jessica Simpson/etc singers who glorify the night life in their music & videos but aren't really honest about its effects. Winehouse seems completely honest -- she's waking up on the floor with a shot glass in her hand, looking like s**t, and not giving a rat's ass what anybody thinks of her. Not the best role model on the whole planet, but the music is great. I might actually (gasp!) buy this whole CD
