We didn't have a soul forum when this thread was made

And she'll say she'a jazz singer if asked.

I'm not an expert but to me she has much more in common with the jazz singers of the 50s than she does with soul singers.

With all the cocaine and trumpets.

Exactly...she started her career singing jazz and is heavily influenced by 50's jazz singers.
She's a jazz singer, singing soul...at least on Back to Black.

haha...was that a reference to Billy Holiday?

She's a crackhead...

Actually I was quoting Simon Amstell =x but sure!

You think Winehouse is fucked up?
You should read up on Billy Holidays lifestyle.

That does not make it good.

Odds are if you wrote a song about others saying you should go to rehab there might be a problem.
