Back To Black [Explicit]

This album is terrible. Winehouse grabs her attention by being a druggie, not showing up at gigs, and by being just plain weird. Her voice and music are lame. I can't believe people buy her music. There are a whole lot of better choices out there. I would say that the rich get richer when we purchase their music but in her case I think she goes out and buys more drugs. Please don't make her a martre by buying her music.

not the best voice in the business, but these days that doesn't matter. good cd to listen to while cleaning. favorite track is you know i'm no good.

I was hanging out and heard a cut on the CD and I was sold. I heard Rehab but didn't think much of it but she can get down with the best of them.

I love this album. I keep playing it over and over again, and it never gets old. The rest of the album is just as good as the radio tracks.

This is the kind of album that I've been wishing for years that Christina Aguilera would record: a classic, Motown-esque power collection of great tunes, backed by solid instrumental work. (No cliched guitar riffs on this album - we're talking horns, keyboards, backing vocals, strings - you name it.) Winehouse has the same fantastic voice, but less of the annoying R&B coloratura that Aguilera has, so she's dynamite on these soulful tunes.

I love Winehouse's raw, pouty, expressive voice, even if she can't articulate worth a damn. (She must have gone to the Stevie Nicks school of pronunciation) She could sing me the phone book and I would love every minute.

Back to black is so brilliant musically, both Amy's songs and her performance of them. The only weak spot is the use of needlessly explicit lyrics, for example in Me and Mr. Jones, "mockery" would have been so much more timeless than "f-ckery", and really would have made as much or more sense. The needless use of the f word grates a bit, and simply makes it impossible to play this song in public or in front of most audiences, and it's such a shame not to be able to play this musically brilliant song for one's kids.
Amy Winehouse is an absolutely amazing talent, her rapid descent into drugs and anorexia has been so heartbreaking. If only she can get free of the drugs, alcohol, and the severe anorexia (she now looks nursing-home thin, like a wire stick figure with an increasingly clownish wig on top). If only she can get free of the destructive hangers-on and the paparazzi who appear to continually hound and provoke her for dramatic photos.... Amy, you are a wealthy woman now, don't let your hangers on eat up all your money and use you up for drugs. You deserve to have a beautiful life, to own your own beautiful healthy life, and to thrive. Please take a long-term health retreat, hire the necessary medical and support staff to keep the drugs out and help you get clean and get your life back, do it someplace you like like Spain or Florida or the Caribbean, you need to be in a gated place with guards to keep out the hangers on, drug-users, and paparazzi, medical supervision, and healthy meals prepared for you, so you can finally take time for YOU, enjoying music to your heart's content, and getting clean! You can afford it and you deserve it. The world doesn't want to lose you. P.S. You never needed to lose weight, you were so beautiful to begin with, with an absolutely knockout figure and face. The world prays for your recovery and for a future of happiness, health, and independence for you. Good luck and God bless!
