Amy Winehouse es una de esas cantantes casi más famosas por sus escándalos que por su discografía, a pesar de ser ésta especialmente potente. Esperemos que al igual que Britney Spears parece estar recobrando poco a poco el juicio, sacando fuerzas del foso mediático en el que estaba sumida para renacer como cantante renovada y más artista, si cabe, lo haga Amy, pues es con diferencia, una de las mejores voces actuales del panorama de la música.
Prueba feaciente de ello es esta versión del tema original de los Zuttons "Valerie", producida por Mark Ronson para Amy Winehouse.
El video no es el correspondiente a la versión CD sino a un acústico en el que muestra en directo sus cualidades vocales...
Well sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why'd you do it
and in my head I paint a picture
Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your gentle hair
and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Did you have to go to jail
put your house up out for sale
did you get a good lawyer
I hope you didn't catch a tan
hope you find the right man to fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere
changed the colour of your hair
and are you busy
did you have to pay that fine
to a dodging all the time
are you still dizzy
Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your gentle hair
and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
But sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why'd you do it
and in my head I paint a picture
Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your gentle hair
and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Why don't you come on over Valerie...
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why'd you do it
and in my head I paint a picture
Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your gentle hair
and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Did you have to go to jail
put your house up out for sale
did you get a good lawyer
I hope you didn't catch a tan
hope you find the right man to fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere
changed the colour of your hair
and are you busy
did you have to pay that fine
to a dodging all the time
are you still dizzy
Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your gentle hair
and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
But sometimes I go out by myself
and I look across the water
and I think of all the things
why'd you do it
and in my head I paint a picture
Since I come home,
well my body's been a mess
and I miss your gentle hair
and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
stop making a fool out of me
why don't you come on over Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
Why don't you come on over Valerie...

Sí aún así queréis ver el videoclip original -aunque Amy no sale debido a que no podía salir de su país natal (UK) en ese entonces y la grabación se iba a hacer (y se hizo al final) en Norteamérica-, no tenéis más que seguir el link.
¡Disfútenlo!
