    Oldtown jazz singer's explict music won't appeal to many kids

    Parents should know that this CD is very explict. In one song, Amy Winehouse declares her love for a drug over all else. And in the song "Rehab", Winehouse talks about how she refused to get help for her addiction. This could send a very questionable message to teens. A friend told me that this was a good CD, so I bought it, put it in the stereo, and found that I couldn't listen through one song without pressing the pause button. Winehouse sounds like she is whining or groaning in most of the songs, although the jazz music in the background is okay. Mature teens who like jazz will enjoy this, but most will find themselves returning it to the store an hour after they purchased it.

    Bad role model

    A majority of her songs talk about doing drugs or relationship problems.

    pretty voice

    She has a pretty voice, but she sings a lot about different drugs. Terreble role model. she dosen't swear much in her songs, but says words parents wouldn't want their kids hearing.

    Not a very good CD.

    The only reason I have this CD is because my mom bought it for me. I only like Rehab,the rest of the songs suck, and they aren't very kid-friendly.

    I say 14+

    The CD has a lot of cussing, but it is really good. I definitley reccomend it, but you might want to buy the clean version. In real life she is a drug addict, though. When she performed at the 2008 Grammy's she was pale, lean, and shaky. I don't reccomend seeing her live.

    amy winehouse is so amazing!

    amy's voice is so good! I could listen to this cd all day long. I admit it has a bit too many curses (for example in one song it says 'what kind of f***ery is this?' lol i know weird huh) anyway other than that i love this cd. my favorite song is you know i'm no good, its amazing. Definately buy it if you're 12 or older but ask your parents first because it does curse.

    Amazing

    I'm so glad I bought this album. Amy Winehouse is an awesome singer and song writer. I love how creative her style of music is, it's like '50's soul/jazz which is awesome because it's hard to find music like that now. I usually don't like that kind of music but these songs are really catchy and (my way of describing music) satisfying. Her voice is so cool and strong and it doesn't look like it is her voice but still it suits her. BUY THIS CD!!!

    Vulgar..But Good

    her lyrics are very real. I think this album is appropriate if you're mature and won't think "maybe there's nothing wrong with pot". The album is GREAT

    Most amazing voice EVER

    Amy Winehouse has a great voice but her music isn't as clean. She uses the words f**k, s**t, d**k, c**t, and even "F**kery". Also her song Rehab talks about her not wanting to go to, yes, rehab. This album is raunchy. However, it's not Pretty Ricky's Late Nite Special. I really like Amy Winehouse's voice above everything.
