Now I know that I really need to go back to work when I spend a couple of hours watching music videos. I was reading an article about Amy Winehouse, a young British singer who had to cancel all her tour appearances due to her self-destructive lifestyle. The doctors worried about her mental state advised her to get help and I sincerely hope that she listens to them as she is a physical and emotional train wreck. Anyway I surfed though Yahoo Music to find out what she sounded like. To my surprise I discovered how much I was attracted to her sound and how refreshing her style was. Her voice is a cross between Billie Holliday and Sarah Vaughn. The beehive’s got to go though. But in a way I can understand why the persona as her sound is very much Motown 60’s with a 21st century twist. What really describes an artist? Is it passion, fire, talent, vision, emotion, or love? Or is it self-doubt, self-destruction, angst, pain, or sacrifice? What is the perfect formula? I guess it is all subjective.
