Amy Jade Winehouse (born September 14, 1983) is an English jazz/soul singer and songwriter. Her debut album, Frank (released in 2003) was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and she won an Ivor Novello award in 2004 for her debut single Stronger Than Me. In 2006, she released her second album, Back To Black. On 14th February 2007, she won a Brit award for Best British Female Solo Artist. In 2007 Back to Black reached #7 on the Billboard 200 Album chart in the US, selling over 51000 copies in its first week.

Born into an English-Jewish family with a history of jazz musicians, she grew up in the suburb of Southgate, North London, and attended Ashmole School. At around age 10, Winehouse founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour, as Sour. She described the group as "the little white Jewish Salt-N-Pepa". She attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School at age 12 but was expelled at 13 for "not applying herself" and piercing her own nose. She later attended the BRIT School in Selhurst, Croydon.

Amy Winehouse - Rehab 

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no.
Yes I been black, but when I come back
You wont know, know, know.

I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks im fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab
I wont go, go, go.

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got 70 days
Cos there's nothing, nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

Do you think rehab will be successful for Amy? 

She is extremely talented and I love her voice but I wonder if she will be the next drug overdose casualty. It would be extremely sad to see such musical talent go to waste. I hope the people who love her manage to give her the support she needs to save herself.

Will Amy Winehouse be able to kick her crack habit?

Yes, she will dump Blake and clean up her act

DOUGLAS RODRIGUES says:

COM CERTEZA ELA VAI SUPERAR ESSA FASE.ELA TEM FÃS NO MUNDO INTEIRO QUE ADORAM O TRABALHO DELA, EU TAMBÉM ADORO O TIMBRE DE VOS QUE ELA TEM PRA MIM É ÚNICO, E COM VÁRIOS encaixa Estilus DE MÚSICA.BASTA ELA PARAR E REFLETIR, E Perceber QUE TEM GENTE NO MUNDO INTEIRO QUE ELA ADORA E TÁ DANDO A MAIOR FORÇA, EU POR EXEMPLO GOSTO DEMAIS DELA, SE ALGUMA COISA DE MAL ACONTESCESSE A ELA EU FICAR TRISTE DE VERDADE PORQUE EU AINDA ESPERO MUITAS MÚSICAS DELA AINDA, CADA VEZ MELHOR. AMY VOCÊ E SUA VOZ NÃO PODE PARAR VC É MUITO PODER, MUITO FODA.E LINDONA AINDA POR CIMA EU QUERIA.

Slothlover says:

I Hope So.

mizzy says:

get better amy..

Sara says:

I Luv her soo much and i hope she does kick her habbits so she can stay alive !

ali10elyg says:

I hope so. She is TOO good of an artist. She looked pretty before all of this, so I hope everything turns out okay. God Bless.

She will continue downward spiral and maybe die of drug overdose

Colnago says:

who cares????

California_Dreamin says:

I hate to say it, but I don't think Amy Winehouse will live to a ripe old age, which, if I'm right, will be a great shame because she's so talented. I've really never seen anyone with quite such the addicteve personality that she has.

Aleron says:

I agree

Darren-Thomas-Carr says:

The drink and drugs are just symptons of a deeper problem. Old habits die hard. My prayer for Amy is that she would see the errors of her ways by reading the bible, and that she would see that Yeshua (Jesus) is the remedy.

Peace

Hershygirl193 says:

I hope she recovers. I just think that if she doesn't get her act together soon (which so far she shows no sign of doing) shes gonna end up like Anna Nicole Smith. Right now, I don't see any pigs flying.

Just brilliant. Screw the drugs and all that tabloid crap, I just care about the music. This woman is a gem and needs time to get her health back. 100 years from now she will be seen in similar way as Billie Holiday or Janis Joplin. Get in the studio soon, Amy.

Interview - Frank About All That Jazz 

from musicomh.com

Together with Jamie Cullum and Katie Melua, young Amy Winehouse is being lauded as a flagbearer for the New Wave Of British Jazz and has just been nominated for an Ivor Novello award.

musicOMH.com caught up with her recently to find that she is not altogether impressed with her supposed peers and believes she has as much in common with hip-hop as jazz. Sit back and prepare for some refreshing candour...

It's hard not to warm to Amy Winehouse. Frank, just as her album states, and disarmingly honest, she is clearly confident of her own mind and considerable talent.

    i think its disgusting why is it that shes a crackhead and still makeing her music whicth is good ,but if we had her drugs broblem and paople new about it ,then it would be impossible to get a job anywhere,theres a lot of young kids out there that buy her music and look at her as a so called hearo .but she is really a bad exampel,i would,nt like to think that my kids were buying her music and helping to fund her habit ,theres a lot of singing wannabis out there that would do anything to have her fame she does,nt deserve to be in the papers all the time promoating her singing and the drug rack coacaine people like her should be out of the limelight and fizzle awey from the public eye...

    Amy has an incredible talent ... I hope she can come to terms with it and get back to writing/recording/performing.

    Nice lens - reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would have liked a bit more original content :cool:

    In Your "Similar Artists" section (below) Why have'nt you included "Duffy?"
    She has a similar sound to Amy, is also British, but looks like the girl you could take home to meet your Mum. Check her out on You Tube.
