This is how i prefer to keep Amy in my memory: as a young, healthy, talented woman, with a brilliant taste of music, ambitious, authentic, emotional, clear, natural, a smile full of life and glowing eyes, having made her first experiences in life and reflecting them! Best message of all times, been said many times before, but eternally true: you can do what ever you want...!
When I was younger I judged Amy for her drug addiction, also that year she won Beyonce at the grammy's and at the time I was kind of a Beyonce fangirl... but now I realize how amazing of an artist she is. She sounds beautiful. When I heard Valerie, I feel so happy. All of her songs make me feel what she must have meant for me to feel. She actually means for us to feel something. There is a certain sparkle in her eyes here that I don't feel now. I really hope she gets her life on track...
The interviews she had before she met Blake are so much easier to watch. I know she suffered from depression since she was like 15 but she seemed much more put together here then she did in her post-B2B interviews. A lot of Celebs who suffered from addiction got to see the brighter end of the tunnel, I just wish Amy was one of them. She was worth more than just 2 albums.
Completely agree. I learn so much more about the real Amy Winehouse from these earlier pre-Blake interviews...she unfortunately had developing issues that needed to be addressed which would eventually get in the way of her exceptional gifts, but her relationship & marriage to BF just pulled her down further imo
Man when she was alive they never showed any of her amazing performances or interviews like this one that showed her passion for music. BUT instead all they promoted were her bad times which gave her a bad reputation ANd now she has died they now call her a "God" Fuck this world is fucking sick, they treat the good people like shit Amy Winehouse was a completely genuine and beautiful girl and its really unfortunate that people never saw that side of her. Fuck the press and media
I honestly don't think everyone who goes into that style of music always wants to sound like her. Her voice is WAY to raspy for alot of singer's music styles.
I'm soooo glad she wrote her own music and was able to come to some conclusions about life as a result. It's inspiring. It's good to see her not as burdened by life...we can all sympathize...sad she didn't pull through.
It breaks my heart to see this video, seeing the truly lively person she was and how incredibly genius she was. Then to think about what the drugs did to her and how she really lost control for a while is heartbreaking. This is the Amy I wish the world saw. I'm glad she didn't die an addict, but rather while recovering from her demons and pursuing new goals. I definitely wish she hadn't died, but I'm grateful that she did not die in the midst of her terrible addiction.
Great interview! So young and full of love for music. What a tragic end to such a short life. She was a talented young woman with so many demons. I pray that now she is at peace.
what a beautiful way to remeber her.. people can be so negitive, and focus on the bad... if you, or someone you know does, has ever suffered from a addiction you DON'T understand how dark, difficult it is to over come it...she died clean, and ready to start new, and she will in a better place.. may god finally give you the peace you desrve, and may you now feel his unconditonal love!!!
She was MY hero for being so young and saying what she's saying here! She was INTO GOOD MUSIC, meaning, Frank Sinatra and that era's best stuff, hence FRANK!!! She tried to represent something with a classic style! She is fabulous, the drugs are the enemy here, NOT Amy. Bless her. She had "IT" and will always be a super star to me!
She was amazingly talented driven with talent and super intelligent. I could sit and listen to Frank and Back to Black all year on replay. I will miss her. Artist like this aren't born anymore...
I'm very saddened as this is such a tragedy. This girl truly had a voice that was amazing...to see it all to wasted.......Its very difficult to see people who are caught up in such self destructive situations. I hope she found her peace.
This was the real Amy Winehouse, and how I'll remember her. I'm really sad she lost the battle. Even if she didn't die of an overdose, she probably died because her body was too weak to keep going. Those people who are saying "she got what she was looking for" have probably never met anyone who has alcohol or drug problems and have no idea how hard it is for them to get out of it. They only saw Amy through the glasses of prejudice.
I guess this makes me feel a sense of joy, rather than sadness. To see the intelligence and excitement in her eyes, to see the strong, decisive gestures of her right hand. And to know, as she clearly did, that she would soon send out the voice of her soul and reach millions.
isnt that horrible? here you have a musical genius and the only thing most people know her for is what she did in her spare time, not even fully acknowledging what she actually brought to the table, innovations, talent and albums so full of pure, dense, substance its breath taking. she created such amazing work, but she was sad. hearing her talk about "real music" makes me sad because i think she lost that direction later on. it all became about her and her demons instead of being about music
I love you; I miss you. You'll always be remembered sweetheart. your innocence, your unintentional charm, your beautiful voice, and your honest spirit.
In some of the interviews I've watched now, when she's more natural, she was actually a very pretty young woman, I didn't notice this with the garish makeup, beehive, tats and different clothes choices. Thanks for your contribution. May your family in time come to terms and may you rest in peace Ms. Winehouse.
I am from Brazil and adimiro much this girl! have a talent! a beautiful gift! your voice is simply d +! I believe she will turn this around! my beautiful you have everything to get back to this beautiful person, strength, claw, courage! God loves you and can help you! A STEP TO CLOSE IT! IT KER TE HELP TOO! But depends on YOU! Are here rooting for YOU! Love you NO HEART!
"I guess what interests me a lot is the relationship two people can have with eachother, and how badly that can get messed up sometimes when other "things" get involved." I wonder if at this point in her life it was drugs, alcohol, down w/ OPP? She seems so different at this stage, still upbeat and full of life, but talks kind of like she's already started down the road that ultimately killed her. Oh if you could have only survived it all Amy, there was so much more waiting for you.
WOW!!! THIS is how friends of mine remember her, when they worked in the industry and she first came onto the music scene. Such a shame addiction took an amazing talent.
I have never bought a single of hers or an album, but i appreciate her singing talents, i feel sad she was lost so young, i feel for her parents and loved ones, i actually lost a friend two months ago in much the same way, one shot of H and he was dead... anyhew, you know the moral of this story, people on H will seduce others and i believe Amy was influence by bad persons around her, bless you Amy sweetheart.
The Rickie Lee Jones of this generation, brilliant, unique, yet something very classic in her sound. And like she grew up in special neighborhood with a cool accent, that can't really put your finger on. Because it's her very own... In song!
man this makes me sad....i never watched anything about her before drugs really, and she was a really amazing person, could have been a good influence on young girls : /
you know, she is so similar to kurt cobain in many aspects. psycologically they are pretty much the same type. i don't want to compare 2 members of the 27 club, but god... she reminds me of him so much.
Perfect example of how the media only focuses on the negative, cause this video shows so much MORE than ANY report or anything of her when she was having addiction problems. Amy was an amazing person through and through. Those who don't see that are sheep to the media. RIP Amy.
@reginaschaefer Amen to this. Sometimes being in the dark means there is no light at the end of the tunnel. If she has any fans that are in the dark, they will now either sink or swim. I pray for those that were close to her, family and friends, and my prayer is also for every person addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, to see the light before the darkness rains.
In 2004 she spoke like a well educated, well spoken girl. Two years later she gave interview sounding like a ghetto child from Jamacian neighbourhood. What a personality change....
I AM CUBAN I LIVE NOW IN MEXICO AND HERE I HAVE A LOT OF VIDEOS OF HER I DO LOVE HER .CAUSE HER MUSIC WAS REAL AND TRUE ,BUT I CAN NOT IMAGINE HOW WRONG SHE WAS ,HOW BAD SHE FEELS OR HOW LONELY ,IS REALLY A LOST IN MUSIC ,SHE WAS DIFFERENT NOT PERFECT BUT UNIQUE AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE AMY WINWEHOUSE FOREVER GOD WILL LOVE YOU
CLEAR MINDED BEAUTIFUL INTELLIGENT & HAPPY. DESPICABLE HOW THE MEDIA AND SO -CALLED COMICS TREATED HER WHEN SHE WAS SUFFERING. JEALOUS CRUEL INDIVIDUALS. AMY NEVER FIT IN. SHE STOOD OUT. THAT CAN BE A VERY LONELY ROAD TO TRAVEL.
I find this so heartbreaking, what a beautiful, headstrong switched on girl she once was, I used to be into drugs at the same time as when Amy was and I kinda thought it was cool and I felt like it was OK for me to party until 9 in the morning cos she was doing it. I'm glad I got out when I did and I wish she had done the same! I think she all great and I will praise her - No matter what her sins. God bless. x
god she looks amazing here ...damn look at her marilyn monroe body...but i dont care what happened i have loooooved her since 03 and i will keep loving her
@reginaschaefer thank you for this. i agree entirely. funny, i was a fan but i didn't know how much until she lost. i'm sad we lost her. i'm sad she didn't know how special she was. and i'm proper angry the people who loved her couldn't bring her back from the brink. she wanted so much. but more than anything, she just wanted love. unfortunately, the love we had for her wasn't clear. i love her realness. RIP amy.
Such beauty, talent, sweetness, lost to an unforgiving world, and wasted on a POS like Blake. ALTHOUGH her tragedy with Blake gave us the album of the century. RIP my beautiful baby girl
This is how i prefer to keep Amy in my memory: as a young, healthy, talented woman, with a brilliant taste of music, ambitious, authentic, emotional, clear, natural, a smile full of life and glowing eyes, having made her first experiences in life and reflecting them! Best message of all times, been said many times before, but eternally true: you can do what ever you want...!
Her eyes were full of life here.
The world lost a musical genius on July 23, 2011.
Which is 10 years now!
Before Blake 😢
She is so sweet! And honest and open. So down to earth. What a loss.
🙄❤️😭🙏 missing here

This comment aged poorly
she wasn t only an outstanding singer. she was that AND a true, authentic, pure artist. rare gem

I know she suffered from depression since she was like 15 but she seemed much more put together here then she did in her post-B2B interviews. A lot of Celebs who suffered from addiction got to see the brighter end of the tunnel, I just wish Amy was one of them. She was worth more than just 2 albums.
She had borderline personality disorder N that shit fucked up so much
Completely agree. I learn so much more about the real Amy Winehouse from these earlier pre-Blake interviews...she unfortunately had developing issues that needed to be addressed which would eventually get in the way of her exceptional gifts, but her relationship & marriage to BF just pulled her down further imo
I Love the way her eyes light up when she smiles...Miss u Amy):
Man when she was alive they never showed any of her amazing performances or interviews like this one that showed her passion for music.
BUT instead all they promoted were her bad times which gave her a bad reputation ANd now she has died they now call her a "God"
Fuck this world is fucking sick, they treat the good people like shit
Amy Winehouse was a completely genuine and beautiful girl and its really unfortunate that people never saw that side of her.
Fuck the press and media
What a beautiful soul...
Everyone today has copied off of her! She is and was The Original.All others pale in comparison.
I honestly don't think everyone who goes into that style of music always wants to sound like her. Her voice is WAY to raspy for alot of singer's music styles.
I don't think anyone today copies her, her voice is very unique and is quite hard to 'replicate'
They try but they can't get it right.
I'm soooo glad she wrote her own music and was able to come to some conclusions about life as a result. It's inspiring. It's good to see her not as burdened by life...we can all sympathize...sad she didn't pull through.
R.I.P Amy 🕯the world lost an angel but gained a legend..
She looks so beautiful, healthy and happy....RIP.
Here she was so young, inspired and sparkly-eyed. Her enthusiasm and passion is catching! Love you forever, Amy! xxx
Like great fireworks she flew high , burst over the sky and seemed to last forever
and then she was gone . She is very sweet here . RIP.
She has so much life in her eyes here...
just a beautiful, sincere, lovely soul. This kills me.
It breaks my heart to see this video, seeing the truly lively person she was and how incredibly genius she was. Then to think about what the drugs did to her and how she really lost control for a while is heartbreaking. This is the Amy I wish the world saw.

2:34! she predicted herself.. how such a smart person ended up like this? is so sad..
rest is peace amy! i miss you so much
This is music! She can explain her album with stories etc. rip Amy
Great interview! So young and full of love for music. What a tragic end to such a short life. She was a talented young woman with so many demons. I pray that now she is at peace.
what a beautiful way to remeber her.. people can be so negitive, and focus on the bad... if you, or someone you know does, has ever suffered from a addiction you DON'T understand how dark, difficult it is to over come it...she died clean, and ready to start new, and she will in a better place.. may god finally give you the peace you desrve, and may you now feel his unconditonal love!!!
She was MY hero for being so young and saying what she's saying here! She was INTO GOOD MUSIC, meaning, Frank Sinatra and that era's best stuff, hence FRANK!!! She tried to represent something with a classic style! She is fabulous, the drugs are the enemy here, NOT Amy. Bless her. She had "IT" and will always be a super star to me!
the light that was in his face, exuded warning of being a super talent, his eyes so full of tenderness
she has some wicked eyes......love them:)
She was amazingly talented driven with talent and super intelligent. I could sit and listen to Frank and Back to Black all year on replay. I will miss her. Artist like this aren't born anymore...
....mature for her years and smart.....
Мисс Уэйехаус, как видно из репортаж, это культурная, интеллигентная и образованная женщина. Rеспект, мисс.
I thought she was very attractive.
I love Amy, I miss her terribly. I'm heartbroken.
I'm very saddened as this is such a tragedy. This girl truly had a voice that was amazing...to see it all to wasted.......Its very difficult to see people who are caught up in such self destructive situations. I hope she found her peace.
She was so beautiful 😍
Very smart, mature, deep and honest answers. There was nothing fake about this girl. Something so rare nowadays in showbiz...So sad she's gone....
Its a shame that when people watch this video, it gets ruined by ignorant comments.
I wish she was alive
Amy looks so excited and happy in this video.I love it!
This was the real Amy Winehouse, and how I'll remember her. I'm really sad she lost the battle. Even if she didn't die of an overdose, she probably died because her body was too weak to keep going. Those people who are saying "she got what she was looking for" have probably never met anyone who has alcohol or drug problems and have no idea how hard it is for them to get out of it. They only saw Amy through the glasses of prejudice.
Seems like such rare footage of her even her voice changed.
I guess this makes me feel a sense of joy, rather than sadness. To see the intelligence and excitement in her eyes, to see the strong, decisive gestures of her right hand. And to know, as she clearly did, that she would soon send out the voice of her soul and reach millions.
💖
This is great to see. I never knew her, never heard of her until her downhill slide was in the tabloids. Such a talent to lose so young.
isnt that horrible? here you have a musical genius and the only thing most people know her for is what she did in her spare time, not even fully acknowledging what she actually brought to the table, innovations, talent and albums so full of pure, dense, substance its breath taking. she created such amazing work, but she was sad. hearing her talk about "real music" makes me sad because i think she lost that direction later on. it all became about her and her demons instead of being about music
I love you; I miss you. You'll always be remembered sweetheart. your innocence, your unintentional charm, your beautiful voice, and your honest spirit.

In some of the interviews I've watched now, when she's more natural, she was actually a very pretty young woman, I didn't notice this with the garish makeup, beehive, tats and different clothes choices. Thanks for your contribution. May your family in time come to terms and may you rest in peace Ms. Winehouse.
Shes got very beautiful eyes.

she looks so gorgeous and full of life here!!!!! miss the old amy!!!!!
In a parallel universe, Amy and me were madly in love and had lots of children. Awesome talent and beauty.
5:18 "i certainly don't have to go to "pop idol" to be able to write music!" - that's a nice one...
wow this interview really puts her in perspective. it's both refreshing and sad to see her like this now.
that voice will live on though.
The Rickie Lee Jones of this generation, brilliant, unique, yet something very classic in her sound. And like she grew up in special neighborhood with a cool accent, that can't really put your finger on. Because it's her very own... In song!
man this makes me sad....i never watched anything about her before drugs really, and she was a really amazing person, could have been a good influence on young girls : /
she was so beautiful before drugs omg i love u amy miss u
you know, she is so similar to kurt cobain in many aspects. psycologically they are pretty much the same type. i don't want to compare 2 members of the 27 club, but god... she reminds me of him so much.
Jojos25 how so? I don’t see anything in common beyond the 27 club. But I could be wrong, and am curious
I love her this way and I'm so sad that it turned out the way that it did; RIP, Amy. Originality is the only way the I consider a celebrity an artist.
r.i.p
Precious video of the real Amy!

It’s sad reading this today :( RIP Amy
I miss you, my dear. Back to star dust and free energy. We mourn for our loss, but understand the only place to go from here is up.
love this all beautifulll
R.I.P Amy Winehouse...
She was a brilliant woman before her battle to addiction.
Her Hair Is So Long I want It ! .... Rest in peace angel
Jeesh she was just a shadow of what she was seeing her here in this interview. RIP
amy cambio demasiado era hermoza por fuera como por dentro, bueno ahora solo es por dentro, amo su musica de amy. Amy para rato.
I love the way she says "girl"
Such a lovely woman-the thought this was only 7 years ago-is completely shocking
talent. pure and simple.
Amy looks so pretty here
Gorgeous ❤️
I never even took time to see what she really looked like, even though I've seen her music videos plenty of times!
CLEAR MINDED BEAUTIFUL INTELLIGENT & HAPPY. DESPICABLE HOW THE MEDIA AND SO -CALLED COMICS TREATED HER WHEN SHE WAS SUFFERING. JEALOUS CRUEL INDIVIDUALS. AMY NEVER FIT IN. SHE STOOD OUT. THAT CAN BE A VERY LONELY ROAD TO TRAVEL.
The real AMY❤
Frank era was everything and the only Amy Winehouse I rather to remember
omg she's normal
she was a really likeable person without the drugs, etc. even with the drugs, there was something somewhat endearing about her.
I find this so heartbreaking, what a beautiful, headstrong switched on girl she once was, I used to be into drugs at the same time as when Amy was and I kinda thought it was cool and I felt like it was OK for me to party until 9 in the morning cos she was doing it. I'm glad I got out when I did and I wish she had done the same! I think she all great and I will praise her - No matter what her sins. God bless. x
I like this video,Amy looks very good and innocent here,she should stay in that way,but she chose another and now Im so sorry :(R.I.P.
She is so bright !!!
god she looks amazing here ...damn look at her marilyn monroe body...but i dont care what happened i have loooooved her since 03 and i will keep loving her
@reginaschaefer thank you for this. i agree entirely. funny, i was a fan but i didn't know how much until she lost. i'm sad we lost her. i'm sad she didn't know how special she was. and i'm proper angry the people who loved her couldn't bring her back from the brink. she wanted so much. but more than anything, she just wanted love. unfortunately, the love we had for her wasn't clear. i love her realness.
