She is definitely hotter now. All the tattoos and skinniness and heavy make-up make her look more like a rockstar and that look definitely appeals to many fetishes.

Her "before" look just looked like a plain jewish girl that works a day job in an office.

So, she is definitely hotter NOW.

BUT - in about 20-30 years, her tattoos will look horrible on her worn, aged body.

But for the sake of being a rockstar now, I like her look. She'll sell more albums now in this image-driven society. Whereas if she was just plainjane, that is the safer route, but not as many album sales. With so many album sales, in 20-30 years she will be able to afford to have the tats removed.

Unless she blows all her money on drugs first...

Rock star / sales her look works for her. It does add a little funk look to her funk sound but if both "looks" were walking down the street which one would you holla at? Keep it real

Well, if both looks were walking down the street, I'd probably be a little more intimidated by the tatted-up version of her because that version is hotter. Being that I am a guy and will lower my standards (usually due to low confidence), I'd probably hit on the plain-jane version. Although, Mr. Happy would certainly jump higher for the tatted one. hahaha

Holy crap, that's Amy Winehouse in both pictures?

Wow.

RodeoSchro said:

I know, it doesn't even look like the same person.

It is a bit of a contrast but seriously the music is what counts As far as Amy's lifestyle i believe it goes hand in hand with the music An example Ella Fitzgerald who was an incredible jazz singer but had a tortured life Prince i read when offering to work with Amy at Paisley Park stated the invitation did not include her hubby! I don't know too much about him and i am aware he influences Amy but she is hoping to go clean now and to do that she will have to review things then again he is in prison at the mo

SCNDLS said:

i agree ..i prefer shelby singing it instead of amy ..and when u talk about duets, that would mean something like beautiful loved and blessed where prince is actually singing on the song instead of just playing guitar

I was well impressed with Shelby's voice when i heard her at the aftershow on September 9th and i think Prince's talent of working with less household names and bringing out the best would compromise anything he did with Amy although i am sure it would be exceptional

oh nevermind

i love amy such an amazing singer!! her n prince wud sound so good singing together not heard it!!

Id give my left testicle to see them paired up for a duet. I was one of the unlucky ones to miss that night at the indigo after my 3 trips there. I did however see Amy play in her only good gig of her tour last year where she was on top form just before she pulled the plug on the tour. One of the best gigs ive ever been to. I resigned myself to not seeing her as the night before she called the audience monkey c88ts before walking off half way through her encore. That being said i am fond of her cover of "monkey man". A prince and amy collaboration album would be fantastic

er.. Amy Winehouse comes from a middle class background - tortured? no, pampered maybe.

TheSkinMechanic said:

I can see your point but... creative souls are often more complex and more likely to get messed up in the head esp with drugs about whatever their class background. Whether you are from working,middle or upper class we all get upset over the same core emotions like love.

psychodelicide said:

Amy is my girl and all, but "crack head chic" is too sad...she should have went to Paisley Park and tried to get free of that shit...shoot, I think that Prince was reaching out to help her and she turned it down...everyone knows that Prince don't roll like that...

Amy was at the Brit awards tonight and she looked better and did a few songs as well including Valerie with Mark Ronson -- i love her singing just hope she can keep it together and i reckon both Amy and Prince go together quite well

Yep I second that Rita I was so pleased by her performance of Valerie and then Love Is A Losing Game on the Brits, she seemed back on form. Her voice didn't really falter much at all compared to some performances of the last year, hope she stays that way now bless her

themusicthatcounts said:

she's actually quite young and really is a great talent - her singing makes the hairs on my neck stand up the music and songs to me are quite unusual and original - i think she could be really big and maybe its all a bit much - i hope not - however alot of people i know don't get it - a bit like Prince they don't get him either

ritaw said:

I do love Amy. Everyday, I have to list to "In My Bed" and "Know You Now". I love her voice. It just hurts to see that she is taking her gifts so lightly. I really want her to take care of herself...

Yes definitely!

Prince would have some work to do to get his voice up to her level, but I think it just might work!

I like Plain Jane's body, and Bulimia Crackwhore's clothes, hair and make-up. Can we make a combination Amy?

Prince couldn't sell summer to Minnesotans.

TheSkinMechanic said:

I think you mean her husband as her dad is a black cab driver isn't he? I am only going by her really and her music which embraces turbulence?

prime said:

she's a pretty woman.. i'll keep her in prayer ..

mplsmike said:

Poor old Prince, trying to find someone popular to clutch onto. At least Beyonce has some tone in her voice...Amy has an awful nasal delivery that I can't take more than 10 minutes of. And she used to be fit...she looks like shit these days. And she was a smackhead around the time of her first album...I used to know her fairly well around that time, purely 'cos she'd get wasted at the same places as me...but that bitch stole some money off me once (we were both fucked)...once a smackhead...
