Her voice STILL gives me chills. Man she is missed.
Back to black and Frank are the greatest r&b albums of all time
@@lornegreen6755 I absolutely LOVE Frank!
@@Foxygemme take the box might be the greatest break up song ever. Definitely top 3
her voice is so unique. love all her songs. her voice lives on
Love her AOL Live Sessions. Pure Amy in her youthful innocence
I can't even imagine what her voice would have sounded like deep into her thirties. Even Whitney didn't get going until she was in her 30s. What a loss, but the same time, what a treasure.
Um, no. _Amy's voice_ didn't sound the same btwn her first & second albums, nor did she _physically look the same_ again - likely b/c of the hard drugs she started abusing, as her ex-husband said. I personally think that affected Amy's voice too.
Btw, do you _think_ Whitney Houston, in America's 1980's whitewashed music & media industries, where they _barely showed black people on tv, could've sung the way Amy Winehouse did w/ references to explicit sex, curse words, & drug use, a guttural voice, & negative emotions _gotten anywhere near_ the mainstream music platform, music charts, media attention, let alone financial compensation _commensurate with her vocal talent?!_ No, she probably would've ended up another _unknown_ 1980's black female back-up singer to lesser white/non-black entertainers, like many _extremely_ talented black female singers. Even at the end of her life, the American media completely demeaned Whitney as a nothing but a skinny, washed up, "cr@ck-head" of poor personal character while they still write about Marilyn Monroe's drug overdose as though she was some sad, tormented "victim" in crisis. It's unfair compare Whitney Houston's extremely powerful sound on impersonal songs on her mainstream 1980's pop records to Amy Winehouse's guttural, raw, pained sound on her _extremely personal_ Back to Black breakup record. That's _absurd._
@@veronicajade20 wow. I agree with you. But I wasn't comparing their voices. That would be absurd. I was simply referring to Whitneys voice getting better as she grew into her 30s. Of course drugs screwed up both their voices. But I would never compare their voices. Two different styles. As far as your other commentary on society, yes, society is terrible. No argument there.
Whitney was doing studio work since she was 12. That girl could sing from a very early age. Amy and Whitney are my favourite but Whitney has a far superior voice and thats beyond debate
@@veronicajade20I think the original comment was referring to what her voice would have sounded like once it further matured.
i reeeeaaaally recommend listening to the whole back to black album, it really is a modern classic. it's the first and only album i've found where i can listen to it from start to finish without skipping, it's definitely worth listening to
I don't even skip Just Friends, which is probably the "weakest" song on the album. lol
@@confucius12012 not really
@@confucius12012 I can’t think of a weak song in that album
Facts!!
True
Amy and Nas' songs Cherry Wine and Like Smoke are VERY great and worth a reaction 4rm dad as well !
Absolutely‼️
Yes!
Yesssss like smoke😮💨
I was about to write this and noticed in the comments. VALERIE produced by Mark ronson is amazing too.
That whole album “Lioness Hidden Treasures” needs to be reacted to 💕
amy is the girl who
-styles like 1960s
-live in 2000s
-with jazzy voice and soulful like 1940s
-strong lyricism
❤
Just amazing
I love Amy I fall in love with her voice the more I hear!
Amy was on another level. I loved her from the moment I heard her. I adore her first album Frank. The song "Stronger Than Me" is so fantastic - the lyrics , her attitude singing it etc. I also remember very clearly hearing on the news when she died. I am from England so it was plastered over every news station. It was such a shock and really hit me hard.
Frank was BANANAS!
Amy Winehouse's song In My Bed is really good too! Salaam also uses the beat from Nas's song made you look for her song In My Bed. Her Frank album is so underrated, it has a more jazzy and hiphop sound to me, you guys should react to it 💖
In My Bed is one of my favorite songs.
Frank is everything.
@@quanahedwards2778 Take The Box, there is no greater love ah man the whole album imo is WAY better than back to black
@@vintagereels4792 Oh yeah, I agree.
I love Brother too.
Great comment!! Big up Salaam he also produced first album “Frank”
Love is Blind is hilarious to me. I highly recommend the AOL Sessions performances of some of the songs from Frank.
Love Is A Losing Game is also a great one by Amy!
Divine track! (Kai)
Amy has that authentic old style jazz feel. Great talent, definitely be missed.
"Fxckery" is _still_ one of the best words ever & this is one of my _favorite_ songs by Amy Jade Mermaid. ❤️
Funny that your dad mentions Lauryn in the video. Maybe he should know that Amy was a huge fan of her and integrated part of "Doo Wop! That thing" chorus in her own song "He can only hold her" every time she performed it live.
How nice is that? - Kai’s dad
Correction: Nas and Amy were super close. They referred to each other as brother and sister
That Virgo ♍ connection run real deep.
They shares birth date, September 14 and they said they were good friends, Kindred Souls!
👑♍️
I miss her every day. She was an incredible human. I first met her after I used a fake ID to get into one of her shows. After the show,, we ran into her at a tiny pub. No one really recognized her, because at that point she had wrapped her hair in a small headscarf, and took off her eye makeup. We were playing pool, and she was trying to get in on the table. My best mate was kind of like "you can either wait or play against us". She waited without saying a word. Smoking was still allowed indoors at the time, and she had one fag left. She went in the corner to light it and it fell in her drink. She started swearing like mad, and that's when I knew it was her (her voice). I offered her one of mine, and she said "you are a darling, what's your name?" and we got to talking.
Then she gave me her personal mobile number. She was so nonchalant about it, like she wasn't famous and didn't just perform an amazing show. I wasn't "starstruck" because I didn't really know who she was, and I didn't become a fan of hers until that night after seeing her perform live. We ended up bar hopping until like 4am. as people kind of recognized her. She had me and my best mate come with her and her body gaurd... she was basically alone and she hated being recognized in public. We got to talking music, and she didn't really want to talk about her own stuff. We talked about Nas and Lauryn Hill, and even did mini freestyle rap battles. We got close.
We saw each other half a dozen times since, and it was always about music and playing pool. We would text message a lot, and it was always like little raps. She was always into just kind of freestyle rapping when she was having a night out. She never talked about her own music. It was very personal to her. One time, we were talking about our ideal collaborations. She was obsessed with Nas at the time, and I had said "you should collaborate with him". She shut down. Like, she was like "I could never, I'm not a legend, I'm not famous, and I don't want to be, I don't want to talk business. I don't want to talk about my personal life". I tried to make a joke like "Okay, I'll collab with him instead. Can you teach me how to play the guitar first?". She made a weird drink of SoCo, vodka, baileys, and some other stuff. She downed like three of them in less than 5 minutes, then eventually came over and said "You have to pick it up and hold it if you want to start learning, darling"
In hindsight, it makes sense why she was always pissed to keep performing songs from Back to Black, because it was almost entirely about Blake. Because she never talked to me about her own music, I will never know... but I feel like she would have been happier performing random covers than she would songs from Back to Black.
I get angry at her label and her father for forcing her to keep performing after the divorce. At that point, she had grown to super famous, and I only got to see her once at a studio. She was just surrounded by her team and bodyguard. It was completely different.
Alcohol didn't kill Amy. "Misadventure" didn't kill Amy. Her fame, and her father's greed are what killed Amy.
RIP ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience of hanging out with her. That's awesome that you were able to form a friendship with such a talented person.
Nas has a collab with Amy called “Cherry Wine” AMAZINGGGGGG SONG PLEASE CHECK OUT
I’ve actually never heard it! Thanks for suggesting it
Don't forget LIKE SMOKE another Amy and Nas collab !
@@frontroom how you know this song about Nas but not about the Cherry Wine song (I didn’t know this though)🤣🤣it was tribute song for her do that song next
@@Airi_Iwin That's what I'm thinking too.
Amy only got a couple albums out so it's not as if she had an infinite amount of songs.
If this young dude in the video had her album/s and listened to them then he (should) know all of her songs by now, if he really admires Amy's work!
How could he not know about her Cherry Wine song???
Need to do this whole album.
Truuuuu
🙌🏾🔥❤❤❤❤
Agreed ✅
Yes!!
I'm still waiting for y'all to dive into Amy. I know Dad would love her albums.
Would be great to hear you review Love is a losing game by Amy Winehouse
Love hearing your first reactions to songs, reminds me of when I first heard them & how I felt 🙌🏼
Aaaah man. Song is extremely triggering of those softer emotions especially when you listen to it in the context of what we knew about her relationships and the struggles she battled until her dying day.
Rest in peace Amy 🙏🏾
They have a collab called "Like Smoke",
I love this song.
Please listen to the whole album YOU GUYS WILL LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
Idk what I enjoy more - watching Dads reaction or watching Kai’s excitement explaining all of the nuances. This is hands-down the best channel ever created and you guys are the best!!!!
🥺 thank you
frank by amy winehouse is my favorite no skips album. just so so beautiful and every song is powerful. i would love to see you both react to that album, it’s all so amazing.
So right. Its so underrated. My only gripe is how they cut up the tracks. It has some cuts that are 2 or 3 songs in one tracklisting. It’s annoying to try and fast forward to a particular song thats 2nd on 3rd on the same track just to hear it…. Now what kinda f&ckery is that 😂
Two requests: Dad should introduce you to some 60s and 70s music 😊 And, this album needs a review 😊 Enjoying so far!
Hailing from England....Amy Winehouse was a huge loss, I had the luxury to see her at Glastonbury festival and her energy was breathtaking!!!
Please listen to the Frank cd…beginning to end it’s incredible.
I love her so much…she’s incredibly talented/smart/funny/amazing.
Thanks for this.
Nas and Amy were very good friends, they made two songs collaborating together, one called Like smoke and Cherry wine must react
Her voice gives me a warm comforting feeling. 😌 I'm a huge fan! Her music will live on forever. Your music choices are impeccable! 👌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👌🏽
Please do more Amy! Her album "Frank" is great as well
as someone who was very influenced by Amy, I can't thank you enough for giving her music a spotlight. Black to black is a beautiful gray of story telling. I would ask to give her first album (Frank) a chance, it was very different to Back to Black but shows her life before "fame" for a lack of a better word. I still can't believe it 10 years without her!
100% agree! Frank was pretty much a straightforward modern jazz album and her vocals were unbelievable. It still haunts me to remember how cruel the press and public were to her in her darkest days. The paparazzi literally camped outside of her apartment and put her on the cover of every tabloid for YEARS looking skeletal, bloodied, crying, completely disheveled, near death and all they could do was ridicule, make jokes and destroy any dignity she had left. I've never seen the world turn on an artist so fast. One day she was being hailed as the greatest new musical artist of her generation, the next she was a grim tabloid punchline. She died a day before my 26th birthday. I was gutted. She deserved so much more than what the world gave her. She was a genius. I absolutely adored her.
She was a massive hip hop fan since young and that influence is throughout her albums.
Massive! She was a purist when it came to Hiphop. Also repped UK scene when it was still under the radar, and Grime was taking off.
I'm gassed for this premiere! Please show your dad cherry wine, nas featuring Amy Winehouse. Also there is a live performance between Amy and Mosdef on RUclips which is stunning. Big love ❤️
"You and Your Son" reacting to "Me and Mr. Jones" by Amy is so refreshing for me. I wish I could have the same bond.
Please listen to Santan Dave
"My 24th Birthday"
"My 19th Birthday"
"Lesley"
"How I met my Ex"
"Heart Attack"
These are just a few. The 4th & 5th ones are extremely compelling stories
Got her vinyl on my wall to this day 🔥
ME TOOOO
SHE'S SINGING ABOUT NAS. IT'S NO SECRET HER & NAS WERE BANGIN' BACK THEN...
Both Virgos, same birthday!
Music in its raw yet pure form. Amy is something else. Nas and Amy...among my favorite artists ever.
Love & miss Amy! Whatta a voice!
I'll never forget hearing the song "Back to Black" for the first time. I was confused because she sounded so old school but I knew that she was a newer artist. I bought her entire CD the same day and haven't stopped playing the hell out of it since. I was heartbroken when I found out that she passed.
Same! I heard “you know I’m no good” on the radio in 2007 driving down Douglas Avenue and I’ve been an obsessive fan since. I was lucky to see her at Coachella in 2007, but her visa was banned in 2009 and can I tell you I literally CRIED. For hours.
Back to Black transports me back to such happy times. I’d graduated uni 2 years before and I was living in London. A bunch of my friends from home as well as some friends from uni had all moved there too so we had quite the social network going on. We saw Amy at the Isle of Wight festival in 2007 and I remember exactly where I was the day she died. I’ve never been one to be upset about a ‘celeb’ death but Amy’s hit hard. Her lyrics detailing the trials and tribulations of relationships were just perfection.
My dad is 68 and he loves Amy Winhouse song "Trouble" 😎
definitely recommend listening to her frank album!!!!!
Noted, thanks - Kai’s dad
Her voice gives me chills everytime Valerie is my favorite song always makes me cry because my mom's baby sister name was Valerie she passed away from cerosis of the liver in 2016 and Amy winehouse died from alcohol poisoning so the song Valerie always gets to me but I love the song also it's sad that we lost such a beautiful soul I can't believe her dad didn't let her get the help she needed correctly and the fact that her ex husband is who got her hooked on drugs she would have been so huge now had she never died
I sing this song in a tribute act and wondered what the Slick Rick gig and Ruler were...😊
Right from the Gheto Boys to Amy.... Love it! the remix by Ghostface Killah from Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good (from his album More Fish) is nice too
I have been using RUclips for 20 years, today is the first time I clicked notification bell to wait for a premiere. Please make dad listen to all Amy’s hit songs. I can’t choose but Rehab and you know am no good should be on top of the list. Keep it up. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s awesome to hear, thanks! And unfortunately my dad has heard Rehab, along with most of Amy’s big songs.

@@frontroom or fortunately depending on how you look at it lol
@@frontroom now that I think about it. Maybe we should have dad introducing you to some of his favourite old soulful music 🤣🤣🤣. That will be so cute
@@miriammigetto2401 Will do!
Everything Amy Sings is amazing
I cant emphasize enough how nice it is to see a kid just excitedly chatting about music with their dad
I have lost mine and unfortunately cant do this type of thing anymore, so it just really warms my heart to see this
In the deeper subtext she was singing about her addiction to heroine. The term jonsing aka a heroine fix. She was a genius
I've been binging your channel all day, it was very much what I needed
You should definitely play Jasmine Sullivan for your dad!
So gorgeous! One of my favorite songs of hers. My Amy❤❤❤❤❤❤💔
I love your background stories on songs and singers . I'm glad I discovered your channel. Love your conversation with your dad.
Definitely check out her album Frank
Amy is great. She’s definitely gone too soon.
Good reaction again.
Dad! In your list of the new R & B female greats, I think Jill Scott should also come in. You guys check her out.
My fav is Valerie with mark ronson it’s such a good vibe.
When she said "What kind of fuckery is this??" I fell in love with her! 😂 I bought this CD after listening to "Rehab". I quickly bought the previous 2 CDs. I LOVE her music!
She was so great.
Should do a reaction of the duet she did w Tony Bennet "Body and Soul" gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Awesome. She was born in the wrong era.
Love Body and Soul. Very few men could duet with Amy and hold their own. Bennett could because he was the real deal. Rest in peace both.
She has a song called the October song it's about her bird that died. It's one of my favorite, also he can only hold her for so long.
you should listen to her frank album 🥹 she’s unreal and i think you’d both rlly love it
Great reaction! Well need more Amy Winehouse!! She is too talented to not cover more of her songs
Mr. Jones is Nas aka Nasir Jones
I still remember the day she passed. I was around 8/9. Really shook the world, especially us in England. So glad to have grown up hearing her music.
Back to Black is a great album, I miss Amy. ❤
I need an episode where your dad flips the script and introduces you to some music 😅🥰 Love from New Zealand!
Coming soon!
ID LOVE TO SEE DAD INTRODUCING HIS SON TO DADS ERA OF MUSIC.... Kind regards your sincerely nz
Please review Tupacs "I Ain't Mad Atcha" video. I would love to see your Dads reaction. Love your channel 😊
Such a talent! She had a live performance with Prince on guitar that was awesome. Great choice.
Cherry wine by Nas ft. Amy Winehouse is also a great song 👌
England’s finest, real as they came and more talented than them all.
Love a lot of UK music. Must be something in the water! - Kai’s dad
I love her debut album Frank. Its one of my favorite albums of all time
Nas and Amy had such a synergy.
Her debut album is amazing you need to take a listen and the rest of her catalog is also tbh I never skip any Amy song they're that good
BTW The "F*****y." part came from Salaam Remi's mum who used to use the word a lot Amy just though it was funny so added it in the song.It reminds me of Fats Domino's Blueberry hill.Frank is a superb album in my view there's songs on Frank that are equally as good as any on Back to black. You sent me flying,In my bed,Stronger than me,I heard love is blind,Take the box are all great songs the lyrics on You sent me flying are superb and Amy often performed these songs brilliantly live.You can go back further than Frank with less quality audio songs like Trilby,When my eyes or Jazz 'n' blues.Prorcrastination and Alcoholic logic are also great songs if you look them up search for the better quality audio versions as quite a few are below par.Also her live cover versions of I still care or I love you more than you'll ever know are worth a view too.Amy and Nas have the same birthdays 14th September and Nas has a daughter called Destiny hence the line in the song "Mr Destiny 9 and 14"
This brings a smile on my face:) amy was very talented 👌amy song were out of this world! I found her! Amy was already gone 😢 she's got it r.i.p love
Plz do a song by Damian Marley and Nas!! Patience
YES!!!!! That is one of my all time fave rap songs! 100% agree they should do that one! The lyrics alone are sensational🔥!!
You should absolutely check out her album ‘Frank’, which came out before ‘Back to Black’
you should definitely react to this whole album, it’s amazing. her first album ‘Frank’ is also a masterpiece, lots of jazz influence. she was an incredible artist.
I never knew nas and her were friends. Great song choice and trivia.
Destiny is Nas daughters name. They also have 2 songs together. Cherry Wine and Like Smoke. Amy also used Nas beat from "Made you Look"(which is on God's Son) on her song "In my Bed" off Frank album. I'm a Nas and Amy stan lol
So happy you included Amy Jade Mermaid and this particular song❣️ Back to Black is all hits, no skips. Salaam + Amy were a dynamic duo. Please review more Salaam productions. 😍
You can tell your dad has a bit of range…now we gotta hear the full Billy Paul track from him 😆
Amy was one of a kind talent, I really love her track on Tony Bennett’s “Duets” as well, it really showcased her vocal ability
Nas: September 14th, 1973
Amy: September 14th, 1983
The GOAT
I love her , i still play her music. Such a gem. I Had no idea this was about Nas
AMY HAS A SONG WITH NAS ON "LIFE IS GOOD"
I had no idea that Amy was this obsessed with Mr. Nasir Jones. Thanx for edumekcating on all the background information on this song. I can't say I blame her, Nas is extremely talented, and sexy AF. If things were different, I could definitely see them making Beautiful Musack together, and maybe even some Babies. Lol
She referred to Nas as "her Elvis". That's how much of a fan she was.
You two make the best Videos!
She’s the r&b equivalent to Notorious Big. She was brillant and made brillant work but only to be cut down so early
More like jazz equivalent
In my opinion, She had the Best voice of soul of the World. I listen her everyday. I always feel to need more songs of her. Always Amy.
I get you. My jaw dropped the first time I heard her. Thanks for watching, Alberto. - Kai’s dad
She was a Diamand kicked down the Street , but alwys a suffering Loreley Heart , ...
miss You, little Butterfly
Great album and song. If memory serves me right the band playing on this album was from a group called Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings from Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately Sharon Jones also passed away.
Her voice….🔥
I guarantee if your dad hears Mary J Blige he will fall in love!!! ❤
She’s another victim of “wasted talent“. If only she valued herself and her talent more than she valued the men in her life including her father.
There is a couple if Nas and Amy Winehouse collabs I believe. One is called Like Smoke
Best friends, right? The live version is amazing
“Mr destiny” is a reference to Nas’ daughter, Destiny!!!!!!
A masterpiece this album.
She was the Billie Holiday of her day !! A magnificent talent but a tortured soul ! My God she was a true original !!!!
Back to black is a great song by her I’d love to see your dad react too
Unfortunately that is one we both already know well. And what a song it is! -Kai’s dad
@@frontroom oh damn wasn’t expecting you to answer lol big fan your videos are great 90s rap is my life so seeing you getting put on to the genre is really dope
But I've seen a live version of the original Me and Mrs. Jones from the 70s, sung by her and it was amazing. You probably can find it in youtube.
