she was mesmorizing. she actually does her eyemakeup a bit like mine - 'doe eyes' i believe is what they called it in the 50s. the black liner extended in a 'wing' past the ends of your eyes. she looks like she belongs in another era, she sounds like whisky and smoke.
i liked her a great deal. i have to run a few errands later today (i'm off of work this week - YAHHHHHHHHHHHH) and buying her cd is one of them.
That Winehouse Buzz? Believe It
By J. Freedom du LacWashington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 13, 2007; Page C01
Some singers have whiskey-soaked voices. Amy Winehouse has a whiskey-soaked oeuvre.
"They tried to make me go to rehab / I said, 'No, no, no,' " the British soulstress sings at the outset of her marvelous new album, "Back to Black." A punchy single with shimmering, '60s-style girl-group production flourishes, "Rehab" tells of Winehouse's refusal to heed a former manager's sobering advice. "I always keep a bottle near," she belts.
Booze is to Winehouse's music and public persona what sex is to R. Kelly's. Her drunken behavior has become the stuff of tabloid legend -- at least in England, where Winehouse has been a star since her 2003 debut, "Frank." (The album was never released stateside.) No story about her is complete without noting that affinity for alcohol. Not since Dean Martin has liquor been such a career gold mine. Only in her case, it's Cuervo Gold.........
