Default Please Explain Amy Winehouse

How is she popular? honestly.
I have seen pictures and listened to her music as well as heard the rumors and news about her. Here are her lyrics to her popular song.

Don't feel bad... I'm younger than you, and I still don't get it.

She just annoys me.

1. You're an old fart.

2. It seems like her songs are pretty well crafted, even if you don't like XYZ particular thing about it. Also (probably using some studio trickery), it comes across to me like she's got a reasonably dark voice.

3. The song you're pointing out is nothing but a bunch of good Motown tricks, why SHOULDN'T it be a hit maker the second time around?

4. The song is basically alcohol-infused pseudo-nihlism; the kids have always liked that sort of thing.

There are plenty of famous idiots out there that make me wonder why they are so popular. When I was younger I didn't give much damn about them earning so much $$, but now that I feel so many celebrities don't even deserve to earn that much $$ and while there are ppl suffering and starving to death they are wasting money on everything. Oh well, that's the market tho..

You don't need to like it. . . just keep watching (in horror) until the next commercial.

So, I just took a minute out to comb through her other YouTube stuff. . . and she's just samplerrific.

Kids, this is called a record. . . yes, the kind that Turntablists use. . . on it, there's this stuff called "old music. . . " Now, watch as I run this through a USB turntable. . . then, cut n' paste. . . 'n paste, 'n paste. . . and hey, whaddya know, I just made Ashford and Simpson sound like Amy Winehouse!!!

1) why do you care if you don't like the music?
2) see #1.

FYI, her "popular song" is just one on an album. See kids, there's this thing called an "album." On it, there is more than one song. When people say they "like" a particular musician, they are often referring to the body of work, not specifically and only the lyrics to one single song that is played on the radio. If you've only heard that one song, and that song defines the artist for you, then you don't know enough about the musician's work to make an informed judgement. Which is fine. But at least admit your judgement is based on personal music taste, appearance, rumors, and entertainment fluff, and not on the body of work.

You don't like her music, fine. Is there something wrong with you? Are you really that stupid? If you think those questions are unfair, consider how you come across.

Chances are VERY good you really like some musicians I think are purveyors of total crap. But I'm not going to assume you must be incredibly stupid to like what you like.

FWIW, I'm older than you. If I'm an old fart, you're just showing your immaturity

1) shes ugly
2) her music sucks
3) shes ugly
4) that song in no sense, OR presents any worthwhile meaning, much like Kanye wests "music".
5) who really gives a shit. im with GT2003, if you dont like dont listen to it. but if youre like me and married and your wife likes it, then you can bitch to your internet friends.
