Well here is some more validation to the claim that Amy is looking at a possible U.S. release...though the source isn't completely reliable...Wikipedia...cool news nonetheless. The single (You Know I'm No Good) is released in the UK on 8 January 2007. The formats and tracklistings have yet to be announced. The track is already on BBC Radio 1's B-list playlist. The version featuring Ghostface is also getting a small amount of attention in the US, where it has been added to numerous Ryhthmic radio stations. Prior to this, Winehouse has not seen any success in the US, although her debut album Frank was released in the States.I read on another board that she got picked up by Universal Republic for the US market, so it might get released here next year. If so, I'm going to buy it. I've heard the same thing from several other sources. Island tried to break her here a couple years back with her debut CD but it didn't work out. Hopefully, things will go over better this time. Anybody know how much her album has sold in the UK so far?

SpinAmy Winehouse Makes Stateside DebutJanuary 17, 2007 NEW YORK: The smoky chanteuse, backed by the Dap-Kings, dazzles Joe's Pub.Though she sings about Roger Moore in "You Know I'm No Good," in her first ever Stateside show, Amy Winehouse took the stage dressed like a quintessential Bond Girl of the Connery era. Standing behind the mic stand in her busty dress, the only thing bigger than the beehive wig adorning the young British phenom's head was the soulful voice emanating from her pipes. She launched into songs off upcoming album Back to Black, as well as tunes from her Mercury Prize-nominated debut, Frank, and accompanied by the Dap-Kings, Winehouse transformed the venue into a mid-century jazz club. Culminating her performance with '60s soul-inflected "Rehab," it was clear her seductive croon and impressive vocal acrobatics were more lethal than any Bond Girl move.

GigwiseAmy Winehouse Booted Out Of Upmarket HotelFor the heinous crime of singing... by Zoheir Beig on 25/01/2007Amy Winehouse was kicked out of the Savoy Hotel’s bar – because her singing was upsetting the regular customers. Having attended the South Bank Awards earlier on, which were held in the hotel’s ballroom, Amy had been hanging around all day. It's reported that Winehouse and some famous pals were grouped around the piano, and managed to get through about eight songs until the complaints became too numerous to ignore. She was then ordered out of the famous American Bar back to her room, even though she protested, along with the likes of Jamie Cullum and Michael Ball. A spokeswoman for the London hotel said “We do not comment on guests.” But we’d pay to have Winehouse sing in our bar! ===============================//================================ Next: Jerry Seinfeld will be expelled from a luxury hotel because his jokes upset the regular costumers...

Toronto is a bit far, but maybe it means they'll reach Montreal eventually!
Why are they doing so many shows in Austin, Texas? [andy roddick's hometown, yo] Are they opening for someone?

UKMusic.comAmy Swaps Drugs For DrinkSinger Amy Winehouse has admitted that she swapped her drug habit for an alcohol problem. The hard-living British singer, nominated for two Brit Awards, confessed she has an alcohol problem, that started when she quit smoking marijuana. She says: "My drinking replaced weed. I still have a problem. I have had a problem with drink but I haven't had a drink in a few days. The problem isn't exaggerated. I'm a terrible drunk. I don't know where that comes from - boredom?"The 23-year-old size 6 singer said she has lost weight because when she regularly smoked cannabis she ate badly, and when she gave it up she started going to the gym. She said: "When I was smoking a lot of weed, I didn't have a munchie diet. I just ate bad. I'd get up, smoke two big spliffs then think I should eat something, so I'd have a fry-up. Then I wouldn't eat anything all day. Then I'd eat pasta at two in the morning. I can't smoke now because my energy crashes. I'm a gym girl. I'm not a lazy person anymore. I'd train every day if I had the chance."

Agreed but Amy was more than likely half cut - Her recording voice is far superior to corinnes imo

Congrats to Amy. I'm so happy for her. Corrine is talented too, but I'd take Amy over her anyday. I love Amy. Corrine is vocally a bland version of Erykah Badu to me.

Very interesting. I really do think she'll be big in America. I hope I'll get to see her this year.
