When I saw one of her shows last October there was an opening band, then a kick ass dj who really got the crowd going, and then Lily. This time around there was no opening band, just a pretty lame dj who didn't really do much for me or the rest of the crowd. Very surprising when you consider the tour is sponsored by MTV.

The very talented Mark Ronson was the DJ for that show in October. And damn, was he incredible! Now Im thinking maybe I should have seen her this time around, but I'm already flat broke with all the shows going on in NYC.

He is the man behind both Lily and Amy!!!!

Umm, it seems like quite a few of you haven't heard Amy Winehouse's music, yet you're full of opinions about her.  Let's not mix words -- Amy Winehouse is more talented than Lily Allen, has a better voice, but unfortunately, won't sell as well.  (Kinda like Nikka Costa - shitload of talent, should sell well, no promotion.)  IF you want to hear Amy's music without waiting for the U.S. release, you can buy it for about $15 at www.cd-wow.com (shipping takes about a week).  I hope Amy comes to DC - 9:30 or Black Cat, maybe?   Fingers crossed!

Am I imagining things, or did he actually just criticize other peoples' English skills?

I was.... sweetcell was being a smart alek and I didn't like this. Are you going to the show?

[Reod Dai]

You seem to have missed my point.  I was implying that considering the state of your posts, you're in no position to criticize anyone else's English.
 
 Besides, they had a legitimate point.  Your question made no sense the way you asked it.
 
 And no, I'm not going to the show.  I've heard one song by Lily Allen, and it almost made my ears bleed.

I finally heard Amy Winehouse last night.  The song I heard sounded like a carbon copy of Fiona Apple.  I'm not saying that's a bad sound.

Like Fiona Apple? You've go to be kidding. She's nothing like Fiona Apple. Which is a good thing. How does she sound like Fiona Apple?

[Vas Deferens]

Definitely doesn't sound like Fiona.
 
 I just saw her picture. Is she a transsexual or did a plague land on her face? Bull930? What ya think?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

She's Jewish.

[renton007]

You don't hear any Fiona Apple?  I hear it in the pounding chords on the piano, deeper voice (neither are sopranos) and the tormented/put-up-on lyrics.  Again, I just heard the one song but that was the vibe that came through.

[bull930]

Ha, Ha....very funny. Amy doesn't sound like Fiona at all. You could play both at the same time and clearly see the difference. I also think at first Amy can look like a tranny but when you look close you can tell. When I first saw her on youtube someone posted she looked like the Arquette brother who dress up like a girl. I love both artist but think you can clearly tell the differences by not only voice but also looks.
 
 Tomorrow I am going to put a roll call out for the show on Friday!!!!!

I have an extra Lily Allen ticket, if anyone is looking.

[bull930]

For how much? A trillion dollars!

Of course not -- if you're a board regular, face value my friend.
