Amy Winehouse Promises New Album Next Year


Grammy award winning British singer Amy Winehouse said in a newspaper interview she was confident her long awaited third album would be ready early next year. “The album will be six months at the most,” the soul diva told free paper Metro.“It's going to be very much the same as my second album, where there's lots of jukebox stuff.”

Amy rocketed to fame with the release in 2006 of her second album Back To Black, which scooped five Grammy awards, but her creative output dried up while she had a well documented battle with drugs. She says she has cleaned up her act and found love with a new boyfriend, horror film director Reg Traviss. AFP Relaxnews

Amy Winehouse: Has Wardrobe Malfunction on Her Way to a Stage Meltdown


"Oops! Amy Winehouse bared a little too much boob on the way to Mark Ronson's gig at the 100 Club in Oxford Street London this week.
Amy forgot the words to her hit "Valerie" during the rare onstage performance Tuesday." Amy Winehouse nervelessly walked down the streets of London with her nipple exposed. The "Rehab" singer was on her way to a gig, where she exposed herself as a train wreck who can't even remember the lyrics to a song she's belted many times. If a young American Idol contestant forgets the lyrics to a song he just memorized, he likely will be kicked to the curb by the judges. There is no excuse for a seasoned veteran like Winehouse to forget the lyrics. I hope the crazy chanteuse at least gave the audience their money's worth by exposing her boobs at the club. I pray Amy Winehouse never changes; I love writing about all her crazy antics

Amy Winehouse: Amy Winehouse 'Denied Stevie Wonder Duet'


Amy Winehouse was denied a duet with Motown legend Stevie Wonder at Hard Rock Calling this weekend.
Winehouse is said to have headed to the side of the stage in a bid to jump on with the Superstition hit maker and collaborate - much like she did with MC Professor Green at his gig in Camden last week.
However, this time Amy wasn't as lucky as Wonder's manager would not allow Wino on stage with the singer.
A source told The Daily Star: "Amy rocked up at the right hand side and told the stage manager she had been invited to sing with him. He put his foot down and told her that would not happen."
The insider added: "Stevie had planned to duet with Corinne Bailey Rae and Jay Kay from Jamiroquai but he decided it would be better to give the fans the solo set they had expected to look,"

Amy Winehouse’s Early Life

Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983) is an English singer and songwriter, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz, rock & roll, ska and R&B. Amy Winehouse is best known for her soulful, powerful contralto vocals.

Amy Winehouse was born in the Southgate area of Enfield, London to a Jewish family who shared her love of jazz music. She was raised in a family of four: her father Mitchell (a taxi driver), her mother Janis (a pharmacist), and her older brother Alex. Mitchell would constantly sing around the house, often singing Frank Sinatra to young Amy, who also took to a constant habit of singing to the point that teachers found it difficult keeping her quiet in class.

At the age of nine, her grandmother, Cynthia, suggested she attend the Susi Earnshaw Theatre School for further training. At age ten, Amy Winehouse founded a short-lived rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour with childhood friend Juliette Ashby. She stayed at the Earnshaw school for four years before seeking full time training at Sylvia Young Theatre School, but was allegedly expelled at fourteen for "not applying herself" and for piercing her nose. With other children from the Sylvia Young School, she appeared in an episode of The Fast Show in 1997. She later attended the BRIT School in Selhurst, Croydon.
