Amy Winehouse was, and still is, one of the greatest talents ever in my opinion. I think if you listen to it a few times more you’d fall in love with the song. Her album Back To Black is on of the best ever. You should listen to it from start to finish. You should also do a reaction to her song “Rehab.” RIP Amy. What a major loss.

She just wanted to create music without the limelight and pshhhh I miss her talent,humor and charisma so much. 🙏

Wow, I'm surprised you haven't heard much of Amy. At the time of her death, her album Back to Black was the biggest selling album of the 21st century and it won her 5 Grammy's. She is particularly a huge star in the UK where she is recognised as a cultural icon and her music is still very relevant to this day.

I don't get either, was he living in a cave?

RIP. She was a generational talent. Massive loss.

When Mark Ronson collaborated with Amy on this album, he purchased lots of analogue 60’s equipment to give it that raw authenticity that would enhance Amy’s style.

Definitely a 60’s vibe to this, soul/Motown with that feel given in the video. One of the best female vocalists in decades and many of today’s artists reference Amy as their inspiration.

'Love is a losing game'!! Thats all!! Great reaction RIP Amy x

That song is a masterpiece, in my opinion. RIP Amy. Gone but will never be forgotten.

My heart melts and I bawl my eyes out whenever this song comes on. If you know what pain is, you'll feel it in every beat of this song. This song is frozen in time through pain. R.i.p. Amy

Everyone always talked shit about her because of her rehab song, but she was an absolutely amazing artist!

She was an amazing Jazz singer! One of my favorite singers. "Love Is A Losing Game" beautifully heartbreaking

Her cover of Carole King’s ‘Will you still love me tomorrow’ is ever so hauntingly beautiful.

Especially when she hits that high note

Amy is a legend. She’s for the Ages. Watch the Oscar-winning documentary “Amy”. It’s riveting!

Her big big hit song was 'Rehab' ironically she died from alcohol poisoning she was on her way to super star status she passed in 2011 at 27 yrs old.🌟🌠🥺😢

Must do her acoustic version of Valerie. It is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

This is my absolute fave by Amy! Feels like it could have been in a James Bond movie. So cinematic and moody and melancholy ❤️

Valerie, rehab, you know I’m no good…Amy has gone but she will forever be remembered by her fans. She had the voice of people in 60s she was amazing. Songs about her life too. All Amy winehouse songs.

I really love Amy Winehouse. She had such a mature voice for such a young age. A deep soul voice for this jazz singer. I'm sure she is truly missed.

I was about to post the exact thing. It’s so good and such an iconic performance. A classic.

The album was very Motown and 60’s girl groups influenced. Such a talent gone way too soon. RIP Amy x. Definitely check out some of her earlier material too (from her album Frank).

A once in a lifetime ARTIST and TRAILBLAZER who left an indelible mark on the music industry as a whole. RIP AMY WINEHOUSE so glad you did this one of my favourite artists. Thanks

Amy Winehouse was a one of a 🇬🇧 lifetime natural talent.

Love is a losing game by Amy u have to hear that

I think after I have watched document about Amy Winehouse, I can appreciate her songs so much more after knowing the backrounds. But as a jazz musician I love the sounds and the feel they have chosen with their instruments. Laid back lively drums with not much dampening that swing on every beat. Love it

Amy is a Legend in the UK 🇬🇧 Gone too soon RIP 🙏🏼

She wrote her lyrics, which are brilliant. I think she's referring to black of depression, and black tar heroin.

Oh my, another favorite of mine, Amy Winehouse, rest your soul. This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Her voice is so unique, like no other. Glad she left us with amazing songs like 'Rehab', 'Valerie', Love Is A Losing Game', and my favorites 'You Know I'm No Good' and 'Wake Up Alone'. These for me are now timeless.

Without a shadow of doubt one of the greatest artists of the 2000s - if not ever. I'm so glad you checked her out. Definitely get into more of her work: Rehab, Tears dry on their own, You know I'm no good, Valerie (acoustic version), Stronger than me and so on. I mean you really can't go wrong with Amy. Her live performances are always a real treat as well - such a massive talent and loss to the music industry. RIP Amy 🙏

Unfortunately he has said he doesn't take any requests from the youtube comments, just from Discord. Idk why, kinda dumb in my opinion cause it's way easier for us viewers to just comment under the video when we're already watching

I was so excited for a follow up to this magnificent album. RIP Amy.

I could listen to Amy all day. I enjoy your reviews Anton.

You can call it a masterpiece. In her short life, she was incredible to say the least. Godspeed Amy…..you are missed

I'm impressed you had never listened to her before, but I'm glad you chose that song. It is a shame she's gone too soon.

This woman was incredible. She was jazz influenced, (first album was heavier on the jazz) but was a great mix of old and new. Her vocals are insane in some of her live clips.

This is a throwback to Phil Spector's WALL OF SOUND. Her look is straight out of Ronnie Spector and the Ronettes. Her dad was a huge music lover and exposed her to a lot the music of his era

How do u not know who any Winehouse is😂she was a full on jazz singer in her first album ‘Frank’ and in the second album ‘Back To Black’ she had a few pop song however it was still jazz! She passed away in 2011 due to alcoholism and she struggled with drugs in the early days too!

That was golders green cemetery in London the place she is buried now..

How old is this guy, his never heard of Amy Winehouse, really!! You kinda gotta be living under a rock for the last 15 years.

Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome keep it up😁

Amy winehouse was everything . The best black to black version is at Glastonbury 2006 when she goes into hand in hand. ❤️❤️❤️ miss you girl! 🙏🏽

Amy combined genre's and loved the old time band singers. It does have jazz, and Tony Neen rated her with the greats like Ella, Billie Holiday, etc. Listen to her song "valerie" (live) and "Rehab" (more upbeat). Her style was so new to the generation she was in, she stood out and embraced. I'd recommend the HBO cocu film on her. The coffin was said to be her broken heart. She said she wouldn't do well with fame and she didn't. Not many supports around her, not even her Father, who seemed more interested in her fame. I'd like to hear your reaction to her singing voice, lyrics and performances. RIP to Amy. BTW: alcohol bonds with a chemical in the brain, and addictive. Herion and cigarettes do the same.

She makes it sound so effortless. Yet it is so complex.

I'm glad you're broadening your horizon by listening to artists you never heard of. This one is definitely a good one to listen to.I didn't like it the first time I heard it, but it grows on me.

The era sounds like the 60s. It has a doo-wop sound. The few songs I know from Amy Winehouse, I do love.

I am always surprised when people haven't heard of the musicians I've heard of, or have enjoyed for years, or even heard on elevators. That you haven't heard of Amy Winehouse makes me think that maybe we are from different universes. Well met, brother! You must be doing something right. :)

Very powerful video and song. R.I.P. Amy. The only way an artist could sing the blues like that, had to truly live the blues.

We still miss you Amy. One of the best artists it ever exist who deserved SO MUCH BETTER. One of the few celebs who I can say the paparazzi and the media killed. She tried her best to overcome her struggles, but sadly they won. She will forever be remembered.

She was so precious especially to us here in the UK. & she was failed a lot by those around her. Such a incredible talent. Frank & Back to Black are 2 of the best albums of all time

Yeah it's a 60's, Sinatra, Vegas, crooner type of vibe but soulful. She even sang with Tony Bennot. All her music has that type of vibe to some degree. Only true music lovers can appreciate good music even if it's not your cup of tea.

love is a losing game ..nothing else needs be said ..its the perfect song .! she was in a 60s girl group phase when this album was recorded ... the album frank is maybe more her jazz phase mixed with hiphop....her music was dark with a sense of humor , the over dramatic ,like this she buried her heart in the video at the end ..her writing is what she is about ...so very very clever as a writer

One of the best singer-songwriters of our generation. It is so sad you'd never heard of her. We need to keep her songs alive, Anton. Back to Black is one of the best albums ever x

An artist who really loves Amy's music and has done several covers of her songs crazy good at a young age is Angelina Jordan; Rehab, Back to Black, Valerie and some more. 😊 There is also some mashups of them .. Angelina covers some 80 artists. A very versatile young woman.. Angelina is very addictive..😉

He hasn't heard of Amy???? Holy Moly! I could hear "Back To Black" on continuous loop throughout the day...

I’m so glad I grew up on amy’s jazz music shes honestly one of the greatest

Eeepic! My favorite song!

Mark Ronson - Bruno Mars And Uptown Funk. Ronson was also a very good friend of Amy's. Amy Winehouse was an amazing and unique talent in the early 2000s. You may want to listen to her song Valerie. Amy had a troubled life. While a huge star she was married to a herion addict who was bad for her. She was always a drinker but, with her husband she really got into drugs and ended up passing away at 27. Like others in the 27 club (Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, ect), the world lost another great and huge talent We will be much poorer for it.

The song Back to Black is about hers and her husband's drug use

A once in a generation talent. I rate her as the best artist of the last 30 years.

Amy came out at the same time as Adele and Duffy. It was like a female British Invasion.

On the 23rd of July this year, it will be 11 years since this outstanding talent was taken way too soon.

Somehow I also missed the whole Amy Winehouse thing, but lately ... through hearing Allie Sherlock covers of her I was kind of getting into her. And then tonight I heard THIS version of Back to Black ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKJh0sOQqJvWfto.html And now I'm blown away.

Yes Amy was a one of kind, amazing artist ! And yes Allie Sherlock just across the Irish Sea from the UK in Ireland has her own amazing live covers of Amy ! Back to Black, Rehab, Valerie, and just released on Allie's KZread channel Tears Dry on Their Own ! All are Amazing !

Her album Back to Black was in 60s style, similar to 60s girl groups like The Ronettes, including her hairstyle.

I always felt this song had a kind of '60's feel to it, a bit like The Supremes kind of arrangement. God rest her, she was an amazingly talented lady.

Amy is an all time favorite A modern twist on Motown

Amy was such a great talent! I know Mark Ronson because of his Uptown Funk collab with Bruno Mars.

I just noticed you have the sandman in your bookshelf. I''ve been watching you reactions for a whle, but today you gained a subscriber

One of the best songs,one of the best singers ever,one of the best in general! Rip to the legend 😥

It's 60s. Search The Ronettes and you'll feel the same vibe. Heartbreak. Heartbreak. Heartbreak.. Look at her hair, her make up. It's all 60s. I really like your picking up on the atmospherics and the funereal feel of the video and the song. Knowing that she left us so early also makes Amy's fans connect deeply with this song.

Definitely jazz ! She's my favorite jazz artist by far ! 🎨 💕 she's inspired by frank santra, & like the 60s era ❤

Amazing!!! Woow!😍😍😍

Amy Whinehouse first came to the attention of the world as the guest vocals of the Record Producer Mark Ronson's cover of the song 'VALERIE''

It was released in 2007 but it is a masterpiece that really does grow on you with repeated listens. She had a jazz/pop sound but listen to the album to really understand her. Its Phil Spector sounding over production is on purpose taking you back to songs like 'Leader of the pack' by the Shangrilas. She also recorded quite a few reggae & ska tracks that are real fun songs & a change of mood. There's a new movie biopic coming out this year about her which you really should try to see. I guarantee your opinion will totally change. Her life story is quite incredible.

Glad to see u react to this. I feel you would get more from a live performance. But especially with the after conversation of addiction, you should DEFINITELY do an album review. The album is also titled Back to Black (winning five Grammys) and I believe is listed as one of the best albums of all time.

My mom's favorite Amy winehouse song is Valerie because it reminds her of her baby sister who passed away from cerosis of the liver in 2016 it always makes her tear up and feels like she's in the room with us

I get your reaction. Amy is one of those artists that grow on you over time, the deeper you go into her catalog the more you'll start to feel her vibe. Hopefully you get to hear more.

Addiction is something the experts will always argue about. Some are more sensitive to certain substances than others and vice versa. There are more insidious drugs than alcohol, but alcohol has killed the most people in history by a wide margin.

There are a couple of great acoustic performances of this on video - she can carry a song superbly with Minimal instrumentation.

Always reminded me of a Phil Spectre "Wall of Sound" vibe.

I could not help but notice her style -- very Ronnie Specter.. and the true irony when Amy departed this world.... Ronnie did a pretty damned good version of this... kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ94s8eJfrDTpJs.html.. Ronnie was amazing.. sadly, lost her recently as well, but when I had chance to meet Ronnie briefly when she was touring in the mid-90's.. she was incredibly charming and energetic.. she didn't know me from anything/anywhere, but she just jumped up and threw her arms around my neck and agreed to pose wherever I wanted.. lol

Think 60s girl group, Phil Spector, Brill building sound..its spot on with still a modern vibe at the same time

Lovin your reactions and your openness 👊😎

Amy is amazing!

Great Reaction! You should really check out Valerie by her, it’s a great song! You may have heard Rehab by her in passing, it was a super popular song and definitely more pop

Amy Winehouse is a genre unto herself.

I think the advantage of the 90s music is that it has diversity of music unlike today's music. Although this album of Amy Winehouse came out in 2006.

Amy Whitehouse rip 🙏 miss her gone too gone 😢

Intelligent interesting chat and thoughts from you and very honest

No one will ever make up for her… She was one of a kind, we truly lost a talent and a wonderful person

The band were Sharon Jones (RIP) backing band The Dap-Kings. Mark Ronson heard their demo of Signed, Sealed Delivered and thought they'd be perfect for Amy, the rest is history.

Loved her from tha moment I eva saw her perform on MTV live!

Amy's sound is more of a 50s & 60s pop/rock vibe

I'm sure many people will recommend you react to Valerie by Amy Winehouse, if you do make sure you do to her acoustic studio performance that is a real masterclass.

Other than Amy, Mark Ronson has collaborated with many top artists - Bruno Mars (Uptown Funk), Miley Cyrus (Nothing Breaks Like a Heart) and the Oscar winning song Shallow (A Star is Born) that he wrote with Lady Gaga - so you will know of his work, if not the name as he writes and produces rather than takes the lead

Yes, yes and YES 💜 -x-

It's impacted by the 60s girls groups

This could have been a James Bond song. If she had lived, she would have written a badddddddddddddddddddd James Bond theme song

Struck a cord that you had never heard of Amy! How is that possible

I dont know if you have reacted to this but, this is doup: Crowd singing Bohemian Rhapsody- Hyde Park July 1st 2-17

Still want you to do because you loved me, that’s the way it is, think twice, it’s all coming back to me now, a new day has come, all by myself, dance with my father, the power of love, I’m alive….all by Celine Dion.

she was a jazz singer so overall her genre of music was purely just jazz i feel. incredible talent, rip amy.

Listen to the live acoustic (only) version of this. INSANELY gifted.

Just to keep the public health information accurate, alcohol is very physiologically addictive. An addict can actually go into a potentially fatal condition if they suddenly stop drinking called delerium tremens which can include seizures etc. (nurse with experience in detox unit)

The 28 Club - why is that year so hard for musicians? What a talent. If heaven exists, there must be quite a band up there.
