Chords for Amy Winehouse - Jonathan Ross 2004 HQ (I Heard Love Is Blind + Interview)

_ Let's get my next guest out.
I think she's one of the most exciting and brilliantly talented vocalists to emerge in this country in many many years.
It is Amy Winehouse.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ [D]
Wow, [A] Amy you look fantastic.
[D] _ _
I'd only [E] give you my cold.
_ [D] _ _
[N] Wow, _ Amy you look stunning.
Hi sir. _
That's a great dress, well done.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You've hurt me up knowing.
_ Amy, I'm a big fan of.
I heard about an initial wouldn't listen that sort of thing.
I thought someone told me it's new jazz.
Okay, and I know you might dispute that.
The album's called Frank.
Listen to it.
It was knocked out by your voice.
Where are you from?
Tell us a bit about yourself.
How long you've been singing?
What's going on?
I'm from Southgate.
I was born _ in North London.
And yeah, I'm a jazz singer.
You know, that's what I come from.
Even though I'm really young.
Yeah.
Well now, 20 years old.
Why turn towards jazz?
Most people your age I would guess.
And I hope I'm not just spouting a cliche or generalization here.
But I suspect it's true.
Most youngsters, when they start singing, they want to do R&B.
Or they want to do rock and roll.
Or even hip hop or rap or something.
But going to jazz, and it does seem to be quite a new trend now.
There's quite a few new sort of jazz voices on the scene.
Yeah, I wouldn't call a lot of people doing jazz, jazz singers.
You know what I mean?
My albums are kind of straight jazz, hip hop, cross.
There is no _ blues or folk.
You know what I mean?
It's just a straight jazz, hip hop album.
A lot of the stuff out doesn't_
it is not heartfelt.
And I just wanted to write music that was emotional.
And that people would want to listen to and connect with.
And you write it all yourself or you write with someone?
I write all the lyrics myself.
I write on the guitar.
What are the songs about then, if people haven't heard the album yet?
What kind of subjects do we deal with here?
Well, I always said I never wanted to write about love.
And then I went and did that anyway.
I've got maybe seven or eight songs that are about this guy.
Is that your ex-boyfriend you're talking about?
Yeah.
Man, I wouldn't want to be an ex-boyfriend of yours.
I'm sure it's a fun ride while it lasts.
But afterwards, then you get the album coming out.
Because you're quite hard on him, I feel.
Well, I was very frustrated at the way things turned out with me and him.
As he was.
And you know when you're quite emotionally tied into someone.
It's never that simple.
Yeah.
You call him a ladyboy at one stage in the album. _ _
There's something no one wants to be called.
No one.
Even if you are a ladyboy, I suspect. _ _
You're a very confident young woman, I've noticed.
Have you always been kind of this self-possessed?
_ _ _ Yeah.
I mean, you know, I'm surprised.
And it's a good thing.
Did you get it from your mum, your dad?
I don't know.
No, my dad's quite outspoken.
He's a cab driver.
Oh, well, that's saying no more.
Yeah.
That's it.
And has he got a picture of you in the cab now?
Does he lean back?
Does he try and flog you out into people in the taxi?
I don't think so.
You're managed by the company.
And this surprised me.
I only found this out today.
You're managed by the company.
You look after S Club 7.
You used to look after the Spice Girls' Simon Fuller.
Have they tried to mould you in any way, though,
if people asked you to do things to change the way you look or speak or behave?
_ Yeah, one of them tried to mould me into a big triangle shape.
And I went, no!
No, you know, I've got my own style.
I've got my own style, and I wrote my own songs.
And, you know, if someone has so much of something already,
there's very little you can add.
Yeah.
You know what I like about you as well?
The way you sound so common.
_ _ And, _ you know, it's like, you know,
it's so refreshing to hear someone who isn't speaking,
like they've taken elocution lessons.
Yeah.
They gave me elocution lessons, but they kind of_
They didn't stick.
_off
my back, yeah.
Amy, you're good to go?
You're OK to sing for us now?
What track are you going to do?
Yeah.
I'm going to sing a song called I Heard Love Is Blind.
This is on the album.
The album is called Frank.
If you haven't heard it yet, give it a listen.
I suggest you get a copy.
I think it's terrific.
