Listen To This: The Anti-Winehouse

Filed under: Anglophilia > Amy Winehouse > Listen To This > Adele

Say hello to Adele.

From London, this up-and-comer is being touted as the new Amy Winehouse, minus the drugs and self-sabotage.

Adele's voice is tinged with a sweet sadness we are instantly drawn to. Much like Winehouse, she has a wisdom far beyond her years.

We're going to hear great things from this girl in 2008!

She's okay. Winehouse has a very powerful voice that captures and can convey a number of emotions.

35

didn't you say someone else was also the new Amy? How about that Amy is the new Amy and Adele is Adele. They are pretty different except they are from England.

Lame!

Amy Winehouse is a genius….

this new girl is old news… the only reasons we'd probably hear from her is because she's so commercial and we've all heard this voice before —- Fiona Apple impersonater?

Althought the winehouse is a mess… it's all apart of her genius… i feel her woe…. it's written all over her face…. and you can hear that in her music…. she's just not playing a part in a play like all these other frauds in the culture industry.
Brenda says – reply to this

43

I only like Amy Winehouse's music. I dont like Amy the person at all
She's just trash that has pretty good music out. Amy Winehouse just is plain out stupid. She should just sing and get that over with!
Hector says – reply to this

44

She's good. BUT AMY IS UNIQUE, you can't compare this to Amy.. Amy it's the queen, with drugs and everything. This girl doesn't have the sound that makes Amy unique. This even sound like Natasha Bedingfiel.
cccrrrggg says – reply to this

45

who the fuck do you think you are you silly fat ugly stupid queen perez….you can't dictate what people will like. your new whore has no soul like you

Funnily enough, they both went to the same school.

BRIT school and Sylvia Young.

Both stage school brats!

Love her voice though.
Twinkle twinkle says – reply to this

54

Very nice. I read the note where Perez got the "Adele being tauted as a chanllenger to Amy…", Music Week. I couldn't disagree more. Amy is completely different! Amy can sing anything. I am sure Adele will be very successful in her own way.

Another great import.

Amy rocks!!!

SIA- BREATHE ME!!! SAME EFFING SONG!!!
jeremydantecrowder says – reply to this

no comparison to ms. winehouse.
-personal mishaps or not true artisty is what makes amy winehouse so successful, learn how to draw legitimate comparisons before doing so publicly here on this blog.

OMG PH I love it!!! I have been waiting for a WHINO replacement, someone I can listen to and respect. She is fantabulous!

i've been a fan of Adele for several years now. it's about time she's getting her dues. she is amazing…live and in studio.
and to the first comment…how can she say Adele isn't original?
hmmm…
some folks just don't know good music….
yes amy is amazing…but she ain't gonna be sangin' much longer if she doesn't get her shit in check!

Nice track (although a tad over-produced), but I don't think she compares to Amy
amy winehouse says – reply to this

75

this is so fucking boring Amy rocks
Fuck this hoe
LOVE AMY WINEHOUES forever!!!!!!!!!!
DW says – reply to this

76

go to her myspace page and listen to hometown glory & melt my heart to stone.
to say she is not good, off key and boring…
that means you do not have a good ear for music, dip.

music is art and art is subjective. viewed differently by all…but take a minute to absorb it…learn from it and appreciate it for what it is.
DW says – reply to this

77

one more comment then i'll shut up…
PEREZ labeled Adele the anti wino….
Adele is a fan of Amy's. Amy winehouse is listed as one of her influences. So before getting all crazy with that perez added that as if Adele is competing. those are his labels not hers.
ps…
amy was hott…but now that her teeth are falling out and she weighs 80lbs…she is not lookin' so hot anymore…
adele…is beautiful and healthy.

good voice, boring song, over-produced - too mainstream.

Brandon says – reply to this

Does anyone else think Amy Winehouse looks like a skinny Divine? I mean look at that bitch's face … she looks like Divine's sister. Someone needs to do a side by side comparison. HINT HINT.
lisa says – reply to this

81

Amy is the truth. No one can compare to her.
adrian says – reply to this

82

ewwww wtf turn that shit off!!!
Brandon says – reply to this

83

Amy Winehouse looks like a skinny Divine from all those John Waters films, only Divine had more talent and class … and he ate dog shit.

pj says – reply to this

88

Has it ever occurred to any of you morons, the reason for drugs and self-sabotage is that this that this amy winehouse girl is incredibly depressed and this is typical behavior for a depressed person????????????
CC says – reply to this

89

She doesn't even come close to Amy Winehouse. Oh and the song sucks.
julia says – reply to this

OOOHHHH Perez,

this song is soooo good. What a beautiful, rich voice.

BTW- I loves it that you totally support the big girls, you are the shit!!!!
Mama Lynn says – reply to this

This is pure shite. She's no where near the talent of Wino. She should just kill herself now.

Alpha Kenny-Body says – reply to this

95

I'm sorry, but that song just made my shit turn to diarrhea causing an excessive and frequent evacuation of watery feces.
Canuck says – reply to this

96

I won't let my kids listen to Winehouse - that effing drug-laden, disease-ridden skank who can't die fast enough to suit me. Thank GOD there is someone else out there who can sing and be a positive influence. All you idiots who support WineHo are losers! If that's all you have to look up to, then do us all a favor and get off my planet!

NO COMPARISON. There will never be another Amy Winehouse. ( Just as there will never be another Jimmy Hendrix or Janis Joplin.) Artists like these only come along once in a great while- and whether you love Amy or hate her- Amy is one of those great artists- and I personally think she has THE most soulful female voice of my generation. Countless artists may copy, but none can hold a candle.
