Dreams Can Come True

Thank you to Brittany from “As the Sun Sets” for the above graphic.  Pop over to her journal and say hello.

 

Amy Winehouse shall be touring the United Kingdom later this year.  I’m SO excited because I have two tickets to go and see her on the 28th November!  I found out accident through an e-mail I recieved.  It's always good to read your mail!

 

I received her CD “Back to Black” as a Christmas gift.  It’s one of those CD’s I never tire of hearing.  The album has been heavily influenced by girl-groups of the 1950’s and 60’s.

 

I love Amy's voice, it is so unique.  I fell in love with her soulful voice as soon as I heard it.  She has finally got the recognition she deserved when she won a Brit Award (the U.K equivalent to the Grammy's) for Best British Female 2007.

The British press seems to focus on her lifestyle and outrageous behaviour, and not her vocal ability.  I admire her so much because the problems she has faced and overcome: bulimia, alcoholism and drug addiction.  I get a lot of stick for liking her music, but I don't care.  Everyone has their own taste, and I think she is amazing!

I can’t believe I’m going to see her LIVE on tour.  It’s quite a surreal feeling!  I hope she’s going to live up to my expectations.  I’ve seen quite a few performances on TV and Youtube, and I think she’s better live, than on CD.

I’ll leave you now with some videos.  Have a great Thursday everyone!

'Back to Black'
