Garage music is low-fi alt-rock, Amy Winehouse couldnt be farther from a garage act if she tried.
Her music is a fusion of big band, jazz and 70’s style soul. Her album is meticulous, I cant recommend it enough. I still cant believe she was able to move 2 million copies in the US, her music fits zero radio formats and her lack of airplay in the states reflects it. Her success was by word of mouth, until her personal problems sank the album like a stone. Not all publicity is good publicity, she’s proof.
I liked the show! They’ve moved most categories to the unbroadcast daytime awards so they can fill the show up with performances. That’s great, since the performances are what music fans are really watching for.
Not everyone was happy about Amy Winehouse’s big win at the Grammys Sunday night.
“I don’t think she deserved it,” previous Grammy-winning singer Natalie Cole said. “I think she needs to get her life together first, and then get the awards later.”
Winehouse took a break from rehab to perform via satellite from London at the Grammys and collect five awards.
Cole also called Winehouse “crazy,” and complained that we are teaching youngsters that they can get rewarded for bad behavior.
Winehouse won in the categories of best female artist, best female pop vocal performance, best song, record of the year and best pop vocal album.
What you said!!! Excellent description of Wino and her talent. I enjoyed the show too!
