I can't even imagine what her voice would have sounded like deep into her thirties. Even Whitney didn't get going until she was in her 30s. What a loss, but the same time, what a treasure.
Um, no. _Amy's voice_ didn't sound the same btwn her first & second albums, nor did she _physically look the same_ again - likely b/c of the hard drugs she started abusing, as her ex-husband said. I personally think that affected Amy's voice too.
Btw, do you _think_ Whitney Houston, in America's 1980's whitewashed music & media industries, where they _barely showed black people on tv, could've sung the way Amy Winehouse did w/ references to explicit sex, curse words, & drug use, a guttural voice, & negative emotions _gotten anywhere near_ the mainstream music platform, music charts, media attention, let alone financial compensation _commensurate with her vocal talent?!_ No, she probably would've ended up another _unknown_ 1980's black female back-up singer to lesser white/non-black entertainers, like many _extremely_ talented black female singers. Even at the end of her life, the American media completely demeaned Whitney as a nothing but a skinny, washed up, "cr@ck-head" of poor personal character while they still write about Marilyn Monroe's drug overdose as though she was some sad, tormented "victim" in crisis. It's unfair compare Whitney Houston's extremely powerful sound on impersonal songs on her mainstream 1980's pop records to Amy Winehouse's guttural, raw, pained sound on her _extremely personal_ Back to Black breakup record. That's _absurd._
@@veronicajade20 wow. I agree with you. But I wasn't comparing their voices. That would be absurd. I was simply referring to Whitneys voice getting better as she grew into her 30s. Of course drugs screwed up both their voices. But I would never compare their voices. Two different styles. As far as your other commentary on society, yes, society is terrible. No argument there.
Whitney was doing studio work since she was 12. That girl could sing from a very early age. Amy and Whitney are my favourite but Whitney has a far superior voice and thats beyond debate
i reeeeaaaally recommend listening to the whole back to black album, it really is a modern classic. it's the first and only album i've found where i can listen to it from start to finish without skipping, it's definitely worth listening to
Amy was on another level. I loved her from the moment I heard her. I adore her first album Frank. The song "Stronger Than Me" is so fantastic - the lyrics , her attitude singing it etc. I also remember very clearly hearing on the news when she died. I am from England so it was plastered over every news station. It was such a shock and really hit me hard.
I miss her every day. She was an incredible human. I first met her after I used a fake ID to get into one of her shows. After the show,, we ran into her at a tiny pub. No one really recognized her, because at that point she had wrapped her hair in a small headscarf, and took off her eye makeup. We were playing pool, and she was trying to get in on the table. My best mate was kind of like "you can either wait or play against us". She waited without saying a word. Smoking was still allowed indoors at the time, and she had one fag left. She went in the corner to light it and it fell in her drink. She started swearing like mad, and that's when I knew it was her (her voice). I offered her one of mine, and she said "you are a darling, what's your name?" and we got to talking. Then she gave me her personal mobile number. She was so nonchalant about it, like she wasn't famous and didn't just perform an amazing show. I wasn't "starstruck" because I didn't really know who she was, and I didn't become a fan of hers until that night after seeing her perform live. We ended up bar hopping until like 4am. as people kind of recognized her. She had me and my best mate come with her and her body gaurd... she was basically alone and she hated being recognized in public. We got to talking music, and she didn't really want to talk about her own stuff. We talked about Nas and Lauryn Hill, and even did mini freestyle rap battles. We got close. We saw each other half a dozen times since, and it was always about music and playing pool. We would text message a lot, and it was always like little raps. She was always into just kind of freestyle rapping when she was having a night out. She never talked about her own music. It was very personal to her. One time, we were talking about our ideal collaborations. She was obsessed with Nas at the time, and I had said "you should collaborate with him". She shut down. Like, she was like "I could never, I'm not a legend, I'm not famous, and I don't want to be, I don't want to talk business. I don't want to talk about my personal life". I tried to make a joke like "Okay, I'll collab with him instead. Can you teach me how to play the guitar first?". She made a weird drink of SoCo, vodka, baileys, and some other stuff. She downed like three of them in less than 5 minutes, then eventually came over and said "You have to pick it up and hold it if you want to start learning, darling" In hindsight, it makes sense why she was always pissed to keep performing songs from Back to Black, because it was almost entirely about Blake. Because she never talked to me about her own music, I will never know... but I feel like she would have been happier performing random covers than she would songs from Back to Black. I get angry at her label and her father for forcing her to keep performing after the divorce. At that point, she had grown to super famous, and I only got to see her once at a studio. She was just surrounded by her team and bodyguard. It was completely different. Alcohol didn't kill Amy. "Misadventure" didn't kill Amy. Her fame, and her father's greed are what killed Amy. RIP ❤
frank by amy winehouse is my favorite no skips album. just so so beautiful and every song is powerful. i would love to see you both react to that album, it’s all so amazing.
So right. Its so underrated. My only gripe is how they cut up the tracks. It has some cuts that are 2 or 3 songs in one tracklisting. It’s annoying to try and fast forward to a particular song thats 2nd on 3rd on the same track just to hear it…. Now what kinda f&ckery is that 😂
Amy Winehouse's song In My Bed is really good too! Salaam also uses the beat from Nas's song made you look for her song In My Bed. Her Frank album is so underrated, it has a more jazzy and hiphop sound to me, you guys should react to it 💖
I cant emphasize enough how nice it is to see a kid just excitedly chatting about music with their dad I have lost mine and unfortunately cant do this type of thing anymore, so it just really warms my heart to see this
Funny that your dad mentions Lauryn in the video. Maybe he should know that Amy was a huge fan of her and integrated part of "Doo Wop! That thing" chorus in her own song "He can only hold her" every time she performed it live.
I'll never forget hearing the song "Back to Black" for the first time. I was confused because she sounded so old school but I knew that she was a newer artist. I bought her entire CD the same day and haven't stopped playing the hell out of it since. I was heartbroken when I found out that she passed.
Same! I heard “you know I’m no good” on the radio in 2007 driving down Douglas Avenue and I’ve been an obsessive fan since. I was lucky to see her at Coachella in 2007, but her visa was banned in 2009 and can I tell you I literally CRIED. For hours.
@@frontroom how you know this song about Nas but not about the Cherry Wine song (I didn’t know this though)🤣🤣it was tribute song for her do that song next
@@Airi_Iwin That's what I'm thinking too. Amy only got a couple albums out so it's not as if she had an infinite amount of songs. If this young dude in the video had her album/s and listened to them then he (should) know all of her songs by now, if he really admires Amy's work! How could he not know about her Cherry Wine song???
Idk what I enjoy more - watching Dads reaction or watching Kai’s excitement explaining all of the nuances. This is hands-down the best channel ever created and you guys are the best!!!!
I have been using UA-cam for 20 years, today is the first time I clicked notification bell to wait for a premiere. Please make dad listen to all Amy’s hit songs. I can’t choose but Rehab and you know am no good should be on top of the list. Keep it up. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
as someone who was very influenced by Amy, I can't thank you enough for giving her music a spotlight. Black to black is a beautiful gray of story telling. I would ask to give her first album (Frank) a chance, it was very different to Back to Black but shows her life before "fame" for a lack of a better word. I still can't believe it 10 years without her!
100% agree! Frank was pretty much a straightforward modern jazz album and her vocals were unbelievable. It still haunts me to remember how cruel the press and public were to her in her darkest days. The paparazzi literally camped outside of her apartment and put her on the cover of every tabloid for YEARS looking skeletal, bloodied, crying, completely disheveled, near death and all they could do was ridicule, make jokes and destroy any dignity she had left. I've never seen the world turn on an artist so fast. One day she was being hailed as the greatest new musical artist of her generation, the next she was a grim tabloid punchline. She died a day before my 26th birthday. I was gutted. She deserved so much more than what the world gave her. She was a genius. I absolutely adored her.
Would be great to hear you review Love is a losing game by Amy Winehouse Love hearing your first reactions to songs, reminds me of when I first heard them & how I felt 🙌🏼
Aaaah man. Song is extremely triggering of those softer emotions especially when you listen to it in the context of what we knew about her relationships and the struggles she battled until her dying day. Rest in peace Amy 🙏🏾
I'm gassed for this premiere! Please show your dad cherry wine, nas featuring Amy Winehouse. Also there is a live performance between Amy and Mosdef on UA-cam which is stunning. Big love ❤️
Her voice gives me chills everytime Valerie is my favorite song always makes me cry because my mom's baby sister name was Valerie she passed away from cerosis of the liver in 2016 and Amy winehouse died from alcohol poisoning so the song Valerie always gets to me but I love the song also it's sad that we lost such a beautiful soul I can't believe her dad didn't let her get the help she needed correctly and the fact that her ex husband is who got her hooked on drugs she would have been so huge now had she never died
Ahh I’m so glad you guys went into the background (even if a little bit) for this. But Adele actually has a similar history and she now is one of the biggest artists in the world but also started in the uk rap scene and she would never deny it. Same as Ed Sheeran
Great choice this is my favorite by her but everything she wrote and sang was gold .Miss her so much but so glad we got to experience her beautiful voice and soul.Rest Easy Amy ❤
Please listen to Santan Dave "My 24th Birthday" "My 19th Birthday" "Lesley" "How I met my Ex" "Heart Attack" These are just a few. The 4th & 5th ones are extremely compelling stories
you should definitely react to this whole album, it’s amazing. her first album ‘Frank’ is also a masterpiece, lots of jazz influence. she was an incredible artist.
She is so witty and defiant with her lyrics!! I love her ❤ one of my favorite songs - but then again I love all of them. Can you guys do “A Song for You”??
So happy you included Amy Jade Mermaid and this particular song❣️ Back to Black is all hits, no skips. Salaam + Amy were a dynamic duo. Please review more Salaam productions. 😍
Back to Black transports me back to such happy times. I’d graduated uni 2 years before and I was living in London. A bunch of my friends from home as well as some friends from uni had all moved there too so we had quite the social network going on. We saw Amy at the Isle of Wight festival in 2007 and I remember exactly where I was the day she died. I’ve never been one to be upset about a ‘celeb’ death but Amy’s hit hard. Her lyrics detailing the trials and tribulations of relationships were just perfection.
She was so great. Should do a reaction of the duet she did w Tony Bennet "Body and Soul" gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Awesome. She was born in the wrong era.
Destiny is Nas daughters name. They also have 2 songs together. Cherry Wine and Like Smoke. Amy also used Nas beat from "Made you Look"(which is on God's Son) on her song "In my Bed" off Frank album. I'm a Nas and Amy stan lol
Great album and song. If memory serves me right the band playing on this album was from a group called Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings from Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately Sharon Jones also passed away.
Right from the Gheto Boys to Amy.... Love it! the remix by Ghostface Killah from Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good (from his album More Fish) is nice too
You can tell your dad has a bit of range…now we gotta hear the full Billy Paul track from him 😆 Amy was one of a kind talent, I really love her track on Tony Bennett’s “Duets” as well, it really showcased her vocal ability
Amy could sing anything so well. I love her. I thought this was going to be the Billy Paul song. But,now its in mind, Sarah Jane Morris did a great cover of Me and Mrs Jones by him.
Hey young man, I lost my dad a few years ago. My dad was a great man with a big heart. I really enjoy watching the relationship you two have. I was close to my dad but we didn’t hang like you two. You’re getting some real quality life stuff here. Recognize.
There is a performance by Davon Fleming of this song, a performer on the The Voice, that your dad may also enjoy as a comparison! It shows Amy’s influence and the love of her music and artistry by other fans and artists.
The musics foundation is SKA, classic reggae that came over to the uk from my grandparents generation migrating during the wind-rush, to help repair Britain after the Second World War. The way she says Fu**ery is also a way many Jamaican’s from that time, swear.
Her voice STILL gives me chills. Man she is missed.
Back to black and Frank are the greatest r&b albums of all time
@@lornegreen6755 I absolutely LOVE Frank!
@@Femmefatale2025 take the box might be the greatest break up song ever. Definitely top 3

Amy and Nas' songs Cherry Wine and Like Smoke are VERY great and worth a reaction 4rm dad as well !
Absolutely‼️
Yes!
Yesssss like smoke😮💨
I was about to write this and noticed in the comments. VALERIE produced by Mark ronson is amazing too.
That whole album “Lioness Hidden Treasures” needs to be reacted to 💕
amy is the girl who
-styles like 1960s
-live in 2000s
-with jazzy voice and soulful like 1940s
-strong lyricism

She was a massive hip hop fan since young and that influence is throughout her albums.
Massive! She was a purist when it came to Hiphop. Also repped UK scene when it was still under the radar, and Grime was taking off.

Great review. I am a huge Nas and Amy fan I had no idea about some of the background of this song. Thank you 🔥

Coming soon!
This record sounds so good on vinyl.
Back to Black transports me back to such happy times. I’d graduated uni 2 years before and I was living in London. A bunch of my friends from home as well as some friends from uni had all moved there too so we had quite the social network going on. We saw Amy at the Isle of Wight festival in 2007 and I remember exactly where I was the day she died. I’ve never been one to be upset about a ‘celeb’ death but Amy’s hit hard. Her lyrics detailing the trials and tribulations of relationships were just perfection.
Got her vinyl on my wall to this day 🔥
ME TOOOO
Cherry wine by Nas ft. Amy Winehouse is also a great song 👌
She was so great.
Should do a reaction of the duet she did w Tony Bennet "Body and Soul" gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Awesome. She was born in the wrong era.
Love Body and Soul. Very few men could duet with Amy and hold their own. Bennett could because he was the real deal. Rest in peace both.
Destiny is Nas daughters name. They also have 2 songs together. Cherry Wine and Like Smoke. Amy also used Nas beat from "Made you Look"(which is on God's Son) on her song "In my Bed" off Frank album. I'm a Nas and Amy stan lol
Great album and song. If memory serves me right the band playing on this album was from a group called Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings from Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately Sharon Jones also passed away.
There is a couple if Nas and Amy Winehouse collabs I believe. One is called Like Smoke
10 words in, “I like it already.” Aces to you dad!
I love that you research the songs you are going to listen to.
Thanks Amy! Appreciate that, thanks for watching
Right from the Gheto Boys to Amy.... Love it! the remix by Ghostface Killah from Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good (from his album More Fish) is nice too
Happy Birthday Amy 🌹
You can tell your dad has a bit of range…now we gotta hear the full Billy Paul track from him 😆
Amy was one of a kind talent, I really love her track on Tony Bennett’s “Duets” as well, it really showcased her vocal ability
definitely recommend listening to her frank album!!!!!
Noted, thanks - Kai’s dad
I sing this song in a tribute act and wondered what the Slick Rick gig and Ruler were...😊
❤😢 R.I.P to another uk legend love your videos keep it up …. Love from uk 💪🏻
So gorgeous! One of my favorite songs of hers. My Amy❤❤❤❤❤❤💔
The live version is called Live from Other Voices 2006
You should absolutely check out her album ‘Frank’, which came out before ‘Back to Black’
My fav is Valerie with mark ronson it’s such a good vibe.
Great reaction! Well need more Amy Winehouse!! She is too talented to not cover more of her songs
Also when she says "Mr destiny" it's a nod to Nas daughter who's name is Destiny.
My dad is 68 and he loves Amy Winhouse song "Trouble" 😎
Everything Amy Sings is amazing
Amy could sing anything so well. I love her. I thought this was going to be the Billy Paul song. But,now its in mind, Sarah Jane Morris did a great cover of Me and Mrs Jones by him.
I never knew nas and her were friends. Great song choice and trivia.
Back to Black is a great album, I miss Amy. ❤
Mr. Jones is Nas aka Nasir Jones
She has a song called the October song it's about her bird that died. It's one of my favorite, also he can only hold her for so long.
Hey young man, I lost my dad a few years ago. My dad was a great man with a big heart. I really enjoy watching the relationship you two have. I was close to my dad but we didn’t hang like you two. You’re getting some real quality life stuff here. Recognize.
Sorry to hear that. Glad you can find some value in our videos!
Best
Kai
Okay this is the first video I’m seeing from this channel and I’m already loving this ❤️ thank you for this content
There is a performance by Davon Fleming of this song, a performer on the The Voice, that your dad may also enjoy as a comparison! It shows Amy’s influence and the love of her music and artistry by other fans and artists.
Nas ft. Amy Winehouse - Cherry Wine is such a gem following this.
Yall gotta do more of these Amy ones!!!💪🏾💯💪🏾
Definitely check out her album Frank
A voice that is so sorely missed!!!!!!
The musics foundation is SKA, classic reggae that came over to the uk from my grandparents generation migrating during the wind-rush, to help repair Britain after the Second World War. The way she says Fu**ery is also a way many Jamaican’s from that time, swear.
So sad I knew amy very very well and did her hair and makeup …and from and live in Camden Town London 1 min away from both her houses ..miss u amzz
This entire album is a classic
Next: "Between the Cheats"!!
Trust me, Dad's gonna ❤️ it!!
