"Is that alright?" Such a sad girl, such a wonderful voice.
good night ,amy....
Absolutely. She just sang her heart out and still asks is that alright. Sad indeed
Ruthiebaby30 my heart just breaks
I just can't watch this any more it's such a fk waste and for people to act as if they loved her standing by and letting someone kill there sell is not love but I guess her purpose on earth was to sang she needed strong love in her life
I caught this too.. was that alright? That was perfect.
Does no one else realize she is crying through this song? At one point she's stumbling over from the raw emotion and you can see the tears in her eyes:( Gets me every time. You are missed, Amy xx
I just stumbled across this version, and yes she did shed a couple of tears. She held the rest back. What a heartfelt song.
Yeah...she was going through at that point....she was heartbroken....and she died from a broken heart
I DO!!!!! 😂
I am too
Me too
this song could make a stone statue cry and she's wondering if that song is "alright".. what a humble woman she was.
exactly.....!!! We miss her !!!! :(
Jessica Johnson when did she say that?
@@krissymissy1888 at the end of her performance in a soft sad whisper...
She was so humble indeed ,that’s what mostly captivated me about her besides her amazing voice
Beautiful .and cleare
This version just rips my soul out.
Im prefer .:Rips
Same
"Is that alright"......no Amy, that was perfect and beautiful.
♥️
❤❤❤
❤️❤️
🌿🦋🌿🦋🌿
Isn't that the sad story of her life...
Hearing her saying "is that alright?" In the tiniest voice possible after giving the most heartbreaking performance ever always gets me 😭
Hello
Loved this damn woman
How she is able to sing when crying is amazing. The pain she exhibits is so visceral. Amy was the REAL deal.
Who’s still watching in 2020? RIP Amy❤️
Laila Shakira aye 43m ago😂
Tobie X ayeeee :)
Fo sho 😆
She is forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agreed😢
I wish you were still here
+katiefershadybaby Me too.
Me too! Every time I hear her. 😥
Me too😢😢
@@MDThomps1907 h
She is in our hearts! She’ll forever live through her music. We keep her here.
The way she sings “memories mar my mind” with tears in her eyes. God, I felt that.
Hello how are you
that was amy singing her hear to you and to her blakie on the song ,thats why you feel her music ,it takes real talent ,soul and heartbreak to sing like that
And she was really losing it at "Self professed profound, till the chips were down". Abandonment 😢
Don't ever lose this clip Chris. It is proof that we had, if only briefly, genius in our lifetime's.
Yes Amy, Love is a losing game
That's true...Amy...I miss you...world too
That's really truly
You wrote my love but I unablè ťo kiĺĺ me
So true. No more.
It really is.
Amen
Achingly beautiful and sad...She really was so special and unique.
yes indeed...
The absolute shit is drug.
I only recently discovered this song and as soon as I heard it I was convinced she must be singing a standard or classic from the 50s. When I found out that she actually wrote the song was when I realised truly how brilliant she was.
Exactly! I first heard Amy on the radio and thought "What singer is this from the 60's?" I thought she was a singer from that era that I just never heard of. I am impressed by her talents as a writer and singer with a truly unique voice.
sparksfly44 I feel you. When I first heard her 2005 or 06, I was like, "Who is this?" I heard every 40's, 50's and 60's jazz singer, so I was like, I mustve missed this one. I asked the lady at the boutique and she was like, "Oh, her name is Amy Winehouse" So shoot, I ran to buy her album. But when I seen she was white and from England. My head blew up....lol Yeah, this girl will stay a classic. The most distinct voice of our generation for sure
Same I had no idea she wrote this. Just shows the magnitude of her pain and genius mixed together to create this... Ugh....
She wrote this ?... WHOA!...I thought the samething ..about it being a classic
Thank You ... I agree 1000%...
@@dvdgreen13 yep she is one hell of a songwriter
This is one of THE most amazing songs ever written. I still get goosebumps.
Hello
“Laughed at by the Gods”... omg I love these lyrics
i think everyone has one artist with whom they feel a true raw emotional connection too, that words will never be to explain, there is nothing stronger than it, you feel like they have been through what you feel and feel the same anger, sadness and rollarcoaster of emotions as you. everyone has one artist they love like a friend or a brother, for me that artist will always be Amy, she saved my life, i wish she could have saved hers.
i completely understand that...i feel my heart was just ripped out....
this will always and forever be my song..
I'm with you on this 100% This woman, idk, we've met in another life or something.
You described this so beatifully, my friend. For me that artist was always Aaliyah - but Amy was the first artist to basically hit me just as hard with her passing. I will forever love them ♥
my sentiments, exactly. from the tender age of 14...I felt this woman knew my soul. Perhaps she did. And she spoke to all that I would endure, for many years to come. And she created, so that I would forever be reminded that my triumphs and heartaches are not unique. Her gift was more than vocal. It was an innate ability to actualize an incredible spell of love, and life, and tenderness, and loneliness. Yes, I knew her soul as well. I vow that her legacy will forever live. My children's children will know just how this woman saved my life by engraining my experiences into song.
Rips my heart out with beautiful performance.
Timidly asks if it was "alright."
Sandra Karr Exactly...she just sang so beautifully she could make a stone statue cry...and then she asks if the song was "alright." Such a vulnerability. I miss her.
it feels more like a "i can't look at you or even really speak rn i really felt it" was that alright
Sandra Karr It was better than alright...❤
That question at the end makes me skittle sad... i want to tell her it was perfect
@@tonietteh2015 yes...💖
Like a punch in the stomach. Every damn time I hear her. Can feel her soul from the other side. Words do not do justice.
She was crying :(
The voice
The Voice that is Whitney Houstan
@@donsandrano1429 nope
she doesnt need scream or be naked,or lights or dancers,,,just, the feeling in that song, and her voice,,it was awesome
She did a lot of drugs tho
I had heard of Amy Winehouse before. Her name had often been in the media. I remember particularly when she died. I embarrassed to say I had just dismissed her as another drug involved singer. For some reason, i decided to listen to one of her songs two days ago, just to get better sense of why she was so popular. I was blown away, and i cannot stop listing to her music. She is captivating. Absolutely one of the most talented artists( both in performing and writing), that I have ever heard in my life. So sorry she's gone.
+Mack Jenkins Don't be too hard on yourself; for many people it was the same - the lurid media stories flooded over her work as an artist.
Mcmanpa, Thank you for your thoughts. This woman's ability to capture emotion and feelings, and translate them to words and music was rare.
Mack Jenkins I love her lyrics, I love her melodies, I love her singing style. I love how she was so genuinely a student and admirer of the great jazz singers. She had only just begun...
I couldn't agree with you more. The combination of her lyrics, melodies and singing style really touch me. I would have loved to have seen her in a small venue. I can imagine listening to her all night. In addition to this song, I love her versions of "Will you still Love me..." and "I Love you More than you will Ever Know". She is the rare artist whose work can engage your emotions in different ways. I have not heard everything she's done yet, but I am enjoying working my way through her music.
Yess .You don't lies .!
I remember the horrible comments here... the people placing bets on the exact date and cause of her (future) death. It made me cry then, it makes me cry now.
I doubt how many people knew how good this self-destructive girl's heart was.
I hope you're out there, somewhere, Amy. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
wingsandash The bulimia is really what killed her....had she been laying any other way she wuld have lived...at least that day.
Ooo that makes it all the sadder ...
Beautiful comment :)💔
🖤
Your comment made a sob break out of my chest thats been sitting there for a while.. 💔
For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game
One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand
Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down
...know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
...
Thanks 🙏🏻
it's "five-storey" fire not "five story fire", which btw. makes no sense at all.
Meaning a huge fire that engulfs five flr of a building.
@@cptight88 thank you so much!!
💕❤💕❤
Guau flamm
Amy: Was that alright?
:'( yes my darling, that was just fine.
The breathy "heh" acknowledgment at 1:09 after "And it was more than I could stand. Love..." is everything. Goosebumps from that moment on. 10 years and she still gets me.
♥️
I think the amazing yet tragically beautiful thing about this is that she didn't even understand her own talent. At the end when she says"is that alright" my heart breaks a bit because she was so incredibly humble about her craft. Truly one of a kind.
I think people sometimes are like that. I worked with a girl singer who was incredibly talented and incredibly self-destructive. The problem becomes when it becomes to late for them to realize that.
I love this studio version
Every time I hear her say “ was that alright?” At the end I get a little sad ...
She sounds so insecure after that brilliant one take run of the song and it was perfect
❤❤❤
The melancholy of this song is of timeless beauty.
Amy, it was more than alright, it was perfection. So painful, so exquisite, so profound. RIP and know you are missed.
Hello how are you
This is the best rendition of this song imo. Just absolute raw emotion...
She wrote this song, recorded in 2006.
This is not a rendition
...Amy was the greatest talent out of England since the Beatles!!!
OlymPigs2010 Excuse me...David Bowie is a God of Rock.
...Bowie was an also ran!
OlymPigs2010 Don't forget Elton John...Pink Floyd...The Cure...Eurithimics and the list goes on...
...sorry but they all can't hold a candle to Amy Winehouse! They just couldn't express the feeling that she could!
*****
his voice was so profound, so intense... she make me cry, the pure escence of amy was this: love
rest in peace, diva
Amy was the real deal. I think she was oblivious to how beautiful she was. "It's better to burn out than to fade away" R.I.P. Congrats, you came first.
My heart breaks in the middle when she starts crying. How i wish i could give her a hug.
For the first time I heard this song, 18 years after its release. It's been 4 days since I started listening to Amy. I hope for a show in Heaven with Freddy Mercury.
I feel the hurt in my heart
This must be my favourite song, of all time. I love it.
+Robin H Structurally, lyrically, title-wise, it will possibly be considered a standard.
Awww how sweetly she says "Is that alright?". Aahhhh! is it alright? Oh man. The oblivion.
Dude, are you kidding? It was more than just 'alright'. Ugh. Long live The Queen Amy Winehouse.
One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
This broke my heart in the most beautiful way possible
Pasan los años y está versión me hace llorar hasta más no poder ..... Es horrible amar y no ser correspondido
Amy you put me in that place between sadness when I see you perform this (because I miss you so)...and not being able to turn away because you are so majestic, fragile, soulful. You were an angel borrowed from the heavens. I wish you were still here..you are loved madam.
Very well said AJ Smith. I wish she was too.
AJ Smith x2!
I totally feel the same. She was not just brillian but a very sensitive and fragile soul.
She was everything. Everything. Amy, you gave this world everything you had within you. Laid your soul bare. It’s a very brave thing to walk through life so unarmored. Many laughed at it. I know the pain you endured was unimaginable and yet you continued to give so much despite of it. I will forever be thankful to you for that. You were the REAL thing. The love you had for your craft was so genuine. Never a sell-out. Never cheapened up. Every single thing you ever made had weight to it. I defended your name at 9, I defend it still at 24 (2020), and I’ll defend it till the day I die. Miss you forever. I love you forever. Thank you forever. Amy forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
and ever
❤❤❤
This breaks my heart. So sad, so beautiful. The emotion is so raw, her tears make me feel it too. Such a loss.
This is, and will always be, my favorite video of her. I'm sure I've watched it well over 100 times. I just watched it again, and still I cried YET AGAIN!!
Right here with you
❤❤❤❤
I don't know why so many people keep saying that Amy wasn't comparable to other members in the 27 Club. Of course, amy was new and the others were all super talented. No one can ever doubt Hendrix's mojo when it comes to guitar playing. But... Did Hendrix, Joplin and Morrison ever write lyrics as emotionally profound as this? I really don't think so
008Invisibleman Have you not heard Janis Joplins Little Girl Blue ??
Johnny97 Little Girl Blue is a cover of Nina Simone.
You must be joking
008Invisibleman Really so does Kurt not belong either?? Or River Phoenix ? Plus many others that aren't "old" (I'm not sure I even know what that means) the 27club isn't defined by how long ago the person was an artist it's about artists that died at the age 27!! People can be such morons
You can sing and you New it
my day isn't completed until I listen to her videos.. so much love & respect for her. rest in peace.
Can you imagine how much of a gift, and a curse it was of the success of Back to Black for her. The emotions it brings her performing songs like these when she's trying to move on, and writing those songs brought a sense of closure for her. It took everything in her to finish this performance of the song. You can see her clearly becoming emotional at about 0:44 into the song. By 1:50 she's holding back tears not only to finish, but also the fact that they were recording, and filming her as well.
I always had the same thought as you, especially after discovering her first album called Frank. She's still super edgy on the album, but it's from a place of power. Basically calling out the men in her life as little bitches. Back to Black is the opposite, where she's been defeated by a man. She was obviously in a dark place when she crafted it. Then one day, I actually did find a live performance here on RUclips - that I've since lost - where she started talking before she sang. She was standing there with a bottle, drinking something, and says something along the lines of, "You know, you write these songs and you have to sing 'em over and over. It's depressing, man." I don't remember verbatim what she said, but I do remember her saying, "It's depressing." It really hit me because if confirmed my hypothesis that she was living in a vicious cycle. Blake and the drugs were the worst things in her life, but they also contributed to her greatest successes. She had to live in them. She could never really move on.
Dear Amy...four years is much time without you. My heart still hurts when listen your songs. Love. RIP
+viking brava My heart can't take listening to her music anymore; it just rips my guts out. Never heard of Amy Winehouse until I "discovered" her music in December 2014. I was blow away by her voice. Then, after being apprised of the tragedy behind the music, I honestly cannot listen anymore. Her music rips my heart out, and the emotion I feel toward her inner circle (including both her mum and dad) is beyond anger. The world lost a brilliant star.
If only the soul could be a song... It would be this song
it's such a shame. she was crying out so much and no one cared, not her father, her husband. no one. those two men who she adored the most exploited her in the worst way. she never wanted fame, just to be a small time jazz singer but her dad Mitch forced her. now he's even going ahead with a new tour of Amy in hologram form. just for money I suppose. why can't the man let her rest in peace?!
Sorry but I can say she is the best artist,writer and singer I've ever heard in my whole life!Even better than Queen,Joplin,Hendrix,Holiday,SINATRA...She is the queen of music,to me...I have never listened to such profound songs.She is one of her own!Whatever song pales in comparison to hers.
❤
her lasting testament and the best version by far
Never seen this cut. Beautiful stunning effortless... heartbreaking
Oh Amy, you are so loved.
she reminds me that love has no limits, it does not have no definition, but we are sure at the end of the day, that, love hurts. especially, if you would do anything to have that moment, when everything is perfect, when everything makes sense. for a change, it makes sense.
Just come back here every once in awhile to let her know I miss her
🖤
There are so many things that make Amy Winehouse the epic talent that she was and 4eva will be, but this time imma say this one. She never performed the vocal to a song the same way twice and every time she sang, you got 💯 of her real emotions and she'd bare her fckin soul in each note.
Her soul was literally singing through some painful feeling, damn! What a gem she was..
Up at 1:25am, listening to this and crying. My brother was killed 2 yrs ago, he was handicapped, and has always been treated like he didnt matter to people in this world, so when he was killed by a kid who shouldn’t have even been driving, and the cops did nothing!!!... the kids were high and on drugs and admitted it and the cops did NOTHING. Some days i cry uncontrollably cause he mattered and like always he was treated like he didnt matter....my hearts broken into a million peices.... and i hope i make it through this life, cause sometimes i just dont want to be here anymore.
Just seeing this. Sounds terrible :(. Sending you lots of love and strength!!❤️
He Mattered. Energy never dissipates only takes new shape. Peace and Love.
Hands down the best fucking version
I love Amy so very much. I relate so much to her. I get the pain. Which just breaks me down even more seeing her trying with all her soul to fight back tears and emotions but they just came flowing out. I miss her so. So very misunderstood. I pray her soul has found ultimate love and can now rest. Love u Amy
I just want to hug her and tell her you have people who love you and want you to be ok .
NO amount of money can fix a broken heart. It's such a shame cos she was so talented but so heart-broken and aching over her failed marriage.
@1:18 :(((((((( so much pain. I can tell she loved hard......
I know she wrote this song for Blake, but I can't help think she is reliving the loss of her father in this song since he was her first loss.
MIFNP I doubt she was thinking about her dad...she was with him all the time, he even had his own seat in the places she sang at, on tour and regular gigs. Blake was who her life revolved around. Even during shows you would see her looking out into the crowd for him. Making sure he was still there cause you know he would leave at times to score some drugs. So no her father wouldn't be the one on her mind sorry. Her dad and mom split yeah, but she would still see him when she wanted, she just wished more than ever that he stayed with her mom so she could live with them both and be raised with them both. She hated they divorced true but he didn't stop having something to do with Amy just cause he wasn't with her mom.
@@krissymissy1888 her dad walked out on both her mom and any when she was little and that why she developed depression and bulimia. she loved him that much it tore her apart. then he has the nerve to come back in her life when she's getting recognised as having a talent. both Blake and Mitch are to blame for Amys' downfall
The only performer that makes me cry
"...futile odds laughed at by the Gods" 💔
Those tears are very real and I feel her heartbreak :( rip girl :(
Самая искренняя,трогательная песня о любви!!!!!до глубины души,до слез проникает!Только Эми так могла петь!Эми сердце мое,любовь моя,боль моя!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😓💎🎶🦋
betw 1:15 and 1:22 you can see her almost break down, and her heart breaking. heartbroken still over her loss.
She wipes a tear away at 1:56 :(
Record it tears streaming, singing your broken heart out. Always the rawest vocal performances.
still come back to this ... maybe the best love song yet written ... she had the heart and sole of a poet ...
r.i.p amy .hope you are at peace where ever you are ....
Heartbreaking. RIP Amy
First time I heard this I fell apart. I can't imagine how it felt to sing it. Amy's heart was so raw 💖 I pray she's in peace. 🕊🙏🕊
I love Amy. She got me with that acoustic version of this song years ago
No sabes cómo te extraño hermosa 😢
Ahora me cantas del cielo ❤
Thank you so much for this still being on here. I'm just as emotional today as I was 16 years ago watching this treasure.
Never heard her sing this and I really was moved by it.
14/09/2019:Dear Amy,this is your birthday today (36) and i wish that a lot of young people will discover you;of course,you're still the real queen of England!!...AMY,this is a great version of one of your best song:it's a gift!!!...I send you flowers and happy birthday to you!.♡♡🤗😇♡♡
Oh my God... what a wonderful voice, so deeply sad but magic!
The soul and pain in this video... I can't handle!!!!!! she once said she has to remember every everything, down to the smell of him to be able to deliver what she felt when wrote a song... this just hurts watching, to be able to control her vocals as her eyes sparkle in tears... breathtaking!!! we love you Amy. 🙏 big fan!! 💖💖💖
One of rare and few artist that could reinvent their own songs to make them better than the last, we love you Lioness 🕊
For you I was a flame

"is that awite" 😢😢😭😭😍😍
So terribly sad. No one really saw just how broken her heart was. Sometimes the heart can be so broken, along with all this fame, leading to a broken, lonely and empty soul, feeling worthless. She was truely so lonely.
Her family and band members definitely let her down! They should have gotten her to a psychologist to deal with her emotions and fix her broken heart, and then she would have been been ready to heal. She would have been bigger than anyone if she was taken care of and still writing and singing music today. I honestly wonder how many grammys she would have had today, if she was still alive! She was one of a kind - so talented, but a broken heart - is what truely ruined her in the end!
Real vulnerable people always ask "Is there alright?" After anything they do as for is never enough in pursue of love. ❤ Love you, Amy!
stopped listening to new music in the 80's till Amy Winehouse came around ,superb
You know her. You fall in love. She says she loves you. You love her. You do everything for her. You plann things exclusively for her. But someting is wrong. You feel that she doesn't feel the same way you feel. She says she needs time. Today she told you that she doesn´t love you. After all, she was in love with her ex. You were just a part-time. "But, hey, thank you for everything", she says.
So much talent she had...she is missed...Ty Chris for sharing this
This so private seeming version of her song is my favorite the way she sings it here. I am grateful we still can see and hear her on You Tube. She is wonderful to listen too. Thank you Amy that you gave us your music, your voice and your soul to listen to. I do not know any artist that expresses its feelings so raw and heart gripping like you do. Unfortunately we had to watch you vanishing more and more and we very verymuch disliked that way and suffered seeing it. But we love you forever, anyway for sharing your God given gift with us. ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💕💕🌺🌺🌺
Ms,Winehouse was the epitome of composure here. Despite how she is feeling she finishes her song. Amy Winehouse is THE best singer/songwriter of the 2ist century. I have more chance of winning the lottery than anyone coming along who will ever compare to her unfulfilled talents x
we all wish we could go in the booth and hug her and give her support... but its too late =_(
This really reminds me of Billie Holiday and Good Morning Heartache.
Someone I know died of an overdose a couple days back, and I couldn’t help think of Amy. Another uniquely exceptional person hijacked and destroyed by drugs and alcohol. And then it hit me that I have lost more people to intoxicants than to anything else. I say this as a survivor myself. 7 months sober and wholeheartedly grateful. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to stay alive long enough to reach it.
She would be winning all the awards if she was still around raw emotion soul blues jazz
The best, rawest, most heartfelt performance of this song. Thanks for posting. I remember seeing it a few years back, and was so taken by her performance. What a talent!
This has got to be the saddest for me to watch.
You can definitely see her in pain singing this....
She really put her feelings into this song
