- A Great Live DVD...Despite the drinking
No matter what happens in her personal life, Amy Winehouse is a terrific talent and this DVD proves it. The recent 5 time Grammy winning artist performs an awkward but quite amazing live performance on her "I Told You I Was Trouble" live DVD. She does drink a little during the performance but it doesn't affect her performance that much. The band and background singers are amazing alongside Amy. She performs hits like Love is a losing game, Back to Black, and the Grammy winning Rehab. Don't let the on stage drinking distract you from this great performance by such a great artist like Amy.
Rating: - 10 stars
Geee-I think I wore the grooves out of the dvd. As a musician,
this is one of the best recordings on dvd of one of the tightest
bands in music.If you spiced out Ms. Winehouse, the band alone
would be worth the dvd. Her voice, on the other hand, is
one of the greatest amalgams of hip hop, dinah washington, and motown
.You can hear all the influences, but unlike so many, she comes out
with her own awkward, unusually beautiful style.
IMO- Just one of the most soulful, and original female
singers to come by perhaps since janis joplin.10 stars if was able.
Rating: - Hands down--My favorite new artist of the last 20 years...
Not since Madonna appeared on the music radar has an artist captivated my eye, ear, and heart the way Ms. Winehouse has. I realize they are worlds apart musically, but the presence and panache that they both exhibit are what makes me draw the parallel. Amy has the f-you attitude that Madonna had when she was starting out. She seems more concerned with doing her thing than warming up to those who would criticize her. Her delivery comes across as spontaneous, her in-between ramblings as extemporaneous--without any thought or concern for what people will think. Madonna was never this natural or uncalculated, but just as brash. And then there is that voice...like Etta James, Billie Holliday, Bettye LaVette, and all The Supremes rolled into one beautiful confection--chased with a shot of Tequila. Just listen to "Back To Black", "Love Is A Losing Game", and "You Know I'm No Good" and you will see an artiste/icon in the making. I hope and pray that her time in treatment will bring her back to the road she should be ruling. It would be a great tragedy for her to fall prey to the same habits that have robbed us of so many of our greatest talents. Don't let the reviews that talk about her supposed drunkenness dissuade you from buying this dvd--she may be tipsy, but she stays on top of her game, and lets the songs speak very clearly for themselves. The documentary is fascinating--with her demo performance included alongside observations from her fans, a record label exec (very articulate in respecting her awe inspiring talent) and her father (charming in his own way). One suggestion: Turn the subtitles on during the documentary to catch all that Amy (who speaks very fast in a heavy British accent--one of the reasons people always think she's drunk) has to say. She is funny, charming, smart, self-effacing, and--that rarest of qualities in someone in posession of such brilliance and success--REAL! I, for one, can't imagine the world without her!
BTW--Anyone knowing what the "Back to Black And White Extra Option" is on the dvd--please share it here. Did I miss something? God, I hope so!!!
Rating: - She Told You She Was Trouble (wake up in the back)
This DVD is from Winehouse's Shepard's Bush performances in May of last year--two performances cleverly edited into a seamless document. The documentary is worth the price alone, especially for early footage of a brassy teenage Winehouse performing for record executives in the offices at EMI. The concert itself is great, though on the second night (when I saw her) she did a great little self-deprecating rant after singing Unholy War (her first composition for Back to Black) saying that for as long as it took to write it - she worked on it for a year - she never quite...got it...right; in her own words, "...it should be a f*ckin' symphony, y'know?" Then she launched into the song that came to her like a gift from heaven, Love Is A Losing Game. That spoken exchange isn't included here but one figures with her man now behind bars, Unholy War takes on new significance in her set. Amy Winehouse is not a graduate of The Mickey Mouse School of Performing--she doesn't have any marks to hit. What you get is a raw, sometimes tempermental, always sincere, personal performance. The much reported booing and hand-clapping at Birmingham NIA last November is nothing new--Winehouse was booed here and slow hand-clapped before she took to the stage, as I recall. It's a curious relationship, one in which primarily the audience has to adjust their expectations and realise they are in the company of a great talent, not observers of a trained seal. A must for all Winehouse fans. (Btw, saw her less than a week after the Birmingham shows at London's Brixton Academy and she was in great voice and tore the house down. It was thrilling. Of course, all the tabs said the next day was that she stumbled on a mic cord.)

- I have to agree: TOO SAD
Based on "Frank" and "Back to Black," I think Amy Winehouse is the most talented, interesting, and entertaining artist to come along in at least 30 years; so I went ahead and ordered this DVD even after reading the review by a fan of my age and gender who said it was too sad to watch. However, it really is painful to watch, and I doubt I will watch it again. Unfortunately, we can only wait and hope and pray that Amy will get healthy and confident and someday be able to give us live performances that live up to those two albums. I would advise fans to stick with those CDs and not waste their money on this sad DVD.
