We need another Streisand (and by that I mean a Jewish woman who sings like an Angel, NOT another liberal Jewess with shit-for-brains politics) because even if this one lives to 120, she ain’t got that many good singing years left.

Conan sucks…watch Ferguson…he’s hilarious!

But to borrow a phrase from the tradition of our own esteemed Mr. Morrissey:

Holy Mary mother of god, what a skank! I mean, Skank City. Skank-a-licious. Skankalooza.

And can someone tell me why we need another Streisand? Isn’t one of them enough?

I heard she sings well, though.

Hate to think what the kids will look like. If Conan doesn’t feature this in his “If They Mated” routine, there is no justice in the universe.

I strongly suspect her whole “skanky drunk” image is just “show business”. She must have worked very, very hard accomplish what she has so far. Letterman, Leno and Craig Ferguson are no small gigs. More importantly, she’s appeared on the Jools Holland show on the BBC. That means she’s only one degree of separation away from Tom Jones and that means she ROCKS in my book.

This video is right up there with the Alanis Morisette cover of “My Humps” as far as social commentary goes.

yes, she is def. foul. and a skank. but she can sing. and i’m sorry, sharon jones and the dap kings are not all that. just my opinion.

themiddle:

thanks for the clarification. and yes, i know that this is not the first time amy’s been mentioned on jewlicious. i’m only a newb in comments, not reading

that and she’s foul.

but her album has some heat.

either way she’s foul though.

um, just to clarify – did you mean “sick” the way i meant it? as in a compliment? or did you mean it as a diss? just curious…

btw – did anyone catch amy’s appearance on the brit tv show “nevermind the buzzcocks”? i know most of that stuff is scripted but i tink she came up with some of her lines on the stop. a sassy yiddishe kop, that amy!

yes, she was piss drunk but she was so damn funny… i loved her katie melua comment! haha – classic.

Meanwhile, you continue to take shots at me, while I’m focused on her.

Uh…duh. Is music an exercise in ethnic loyalty and moral uprightness for you? Most people who actually love music tend to look not at musicians’ personal lives, but at their musical product. This is why we revere albums made by people who had more heroin coursing through their veins than actual blood, or albums made by people who eat LSD like Skittles, or albums made by people more consistently stoned than an early Christian. Look through your CD collection. Guaran-damn-tee you, at least 2/3 of it was produced by people terminally fucked up on something.

It’s not just music either, ya know. A cursory examination of classic literature reveals a great many booze, coke and opium-addled literary greats. Art too!

So if you’re going to saddle up Nancy Reagan’s high horse and denounce Amy Winehouse for being a drunk, I recommend you discard all your albums and books and fine art touched by the sinister black hand of drug use. Enjoy your bare walls, empty bookshelves and Greatest Hits of Yossele Rosenblatt.

You probably shouldn’t read my posts, either. God knows I was high when I wrote this one. And stop reading this comment, because I’m drunk.

Pretty much.

Outreach organization? What does that even mean? If she donated it to the clean herself the fk up fund, that’d be enough for me.

Muffti – How’d you know about the plans for the reception?

Balaam’s Donkey – between your dubbing me as genius and your revelation that you are a fellow admirer of the flesh-eating oeuvre, you may just be my new favorite semi-anonymous Jewish blogosphere personality.

DeisCane – right. We should all aspire to be Avrum Fried. Shiny shoe music doesn’t make me want to reverse my circumcision at all.

Now where did I put my fuck me pumps?
