From: SBell0105 | #055 How exactly can you determine what is talented and what is not? That's completely a subjective thing. Unless you mean the praise they'll get years after, in that case it's unknown if Winehouse will be remembered in time.

Someone post an example of a famous Amy Winehouse song so I'll know who we're talking about here. Back to Black is one out of two albums to sell in excess of 10 million copies worldwide in the last 5 years.

Well if SBell, has an extensive background in the music industry or has some objective data to prove that she does not have a modicum of talent, then he is right.
But if he can't then welp, I mean the public likes her music as proven by the high sales and her peers who have a certain amount of credible knowledge in the field of music have recognised her talents and have given her awards as a result. -- Vote for this guy in every contest: Sess ...

I'm surprised whenever people act so ignorant of popular music. Even if you don't listen to it yourself, how do you go through life without hearing it in a store, in a commerical, in a movie/tv show, etc. There's so many places where music is played.

Aside from music I'm also amazed whenever I play Cranium with people at school, how ignorant some people are of pop culture in general. Like, barely anyone knew who Barbara Walters was! What kind of bubble do people live in nowadays? Do people just sit at their computer watching Naruto on Youtube and eating Hot Pockets 24/7?

I actively listen to industrial and various electronica. I've heard of Amy Winehouse; it'd be pretty hard not to. This is a really s***ty thing to say in a thread about the poor woman's death but quite frankly by the time I'd heard anything about her I kept hearing how she was a total drunk case and didn't really feel like giving her a try. -- Sir Chris Police ~Ace Detective in Homicide~ http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png "Thanks Punny!" ...

From: VincentLauw | #087 in his defence, he was 3 months old. it's not surprising that some people don't know who Amy Winehouse is. they just don't listen to music. radio is less relevant now than it ever has been before, so the few times you may here popular songs are when you actively seek out music, or when you go out shopping/eating/clubbing/etc, and you won't often find out who you're passively listening to in that situation. -- ICON: Yeezy taught me. ...

From: Jeff Zero | #092 I never got this though, why would you judge someone's music based on their personality and personal life? Most of the time you can't get around them when listening to their music lyrically, I'll give you that, but it doesn't really change if you like the song or not. A song about drugs can still be a great song (example for the old people: Heroin by Velvet Underground). A song about partying too. It all depends on how it hits you.
