Pink v Amy Winehouse

[Glitter]

I can’t believe Pink got 11 votes tbh.

She’s alright, like. But she’s not in Amy’s league. She’s not even in Amy’s sport.

I fucking love Amy Winehouse, me.

Amy Winehouse made zero dent into early noughties UK garage. Whilst I'm no major fan of the Sovereign mix of There You Go, I at least recognise the place it had in Suburban 3am finish nightclubs.

The record Back to Black never was:

Amy all day

 

[pogofish]

To me, Pink started well but didn't follow-up at all well, whilst Amy managed to keep going well for her whole but short career.

 

[Beats & Pieces]

I do not particularly like either - but I have always thought there has, at least, been an honesty about Pink in her cynicism and using the music industry to her best possible advantage.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Amy, of course. Next.

 

[Beats & Pieces]

Amy, of course. Next.

Why Cheesy?

 

[Cheesypoof]

Why Cheesy?

Brilliant songwriter, vocalist, and one of a kind artist that turns up every 25 years. Pink is really talented, but not on Amy's level.

 

[Voley]

Don't think Pink should be mentioned in the same sentence as Amy Winehouse.

Unless the sentence is 'Pink hears Amy Winehouse for first time and announces her retirement'.

Christ. Some people will bet on anything.

Was it that far eastern betting syndicate of yours again?

Despite his loss, he doesn't want to go to rehab.

Nope. That needs to be a little more specific - she was a 'one of a kind' vocalist to which crowd (and how might that 'gaze' have situated her)?

Excuse me?

 

[Beats & Pieces]

Excuse me?

It means that we likely disagree on her importance, her talent, her deliberate musical referencing, and her position as a vocalist. That's life.

I mean, obviously, objectively, clearly, it's Amy, but sometimes when you're in a cab or walking past a bar, and you get a blast of 'party started' or 'who knew', it does lift you; the old filet mignon or tasty burger adage, I guess.

 

[Spod]

I love the stuff Pink did for You+Me (acoustic album with Dallas Green of City and Colour and Alexis on Fire). So for that reason Pink. But I agree with the queries regarding the basic premise of the poll - what has she got in common with Amy Winehouse to make it a comparison?

 

[tommers]

I went to see Pink once and she put on an amazing show. She went out into the crowd in one of those transparent plastic balls and I'm pretty sure she was on a trapeze at one point.

I went to see Amy Winehouse once and she didn't turn up cos she was off her face.

So Pink is my answer to this question.

 

[Spymaster]

- what has she got in common with Amy Winehouse to make it a comparison?

They need not have anything in common at all.

Would it be simpler for people if the question had been "whose music do you prefer?"

If someone asked me that question of 2 artists I'd be able to answer instantly in most cases. But then I'm not as up my own arse about music as a lot of people!

In essence this question / thread is 'which white girl do we love best' - in ignorance of the wider context.

Fucking laughable.

 

[bellaozzydog]

I have never masturbate over Amy

Fucking hell mate it was a pub bet

There is a world of meaning outside the pub.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

There is a world of meaning outside the pub.

There is??!

 

[Beats & Pieces]

There is??!

I know - simple concept - but strangely alien to some folks....

 

[killer b]

Pink & wino are/were both jews fwiw.

 

[dessiato]

Pink & wino are/were both jews fwiw.

Which absolutely irrelevant when it comes to their music. I don't think it makes a difference anywhere. So why mention it?

 

[killer b]

Because b&p seemed to be interested in their ethnicity?

 

[Thimble Queen]

They still white though

 

[Saul Goodman]

In essence this question / thread is 'which white girl do we love best' - in ignorance of the wider context.

Fucking laughable.

What a pathetic attempt at points scoring

 

[Beats & Pieces]

Pink & wino are/were both jews fwiw.

A cheap move, even for you.

 

[Pickman's model]

There is??!
