- Do you promise?

- I promise.

What song d'you think

I should do first tonight?

Right, I think

you should start off with...

Ah, I love your little cap!

It's so cute!

Um, I think you should

start off with a song called...

Oh, on camera. Okay. Okay.

- Go, sister. Go get done.

- Stop!

In my bed

Yeah yeah...

Could you please

introduce yourself?

Yes. Hello. I'm Amy Winehouse.

I'm 20. I'm a jazz singer.

I've heard your record

and it sounds very, uh, mature.

Is it all live?

Also, not only the singing,

but also the instruments?

Yeah, all the instrumentation

is completely live.

I wouldn't have any fake horns

on my record.

I think they put fake strings

on Take the Box,

but I wasn't a part of that.

I would never, ever have put

strings on my record. Ever.

And this guy doing the mix

of this song, he just...

didn't even think about it.

Okay, um...

just a couple of questions.

Um...

- Upset?

- Yeah.

Oh, okay. Okay, okay.

Okay. Um...

There wasn't a girl that had

been gobby in the media

for a long time.

And she could be very cutting.

Especially if she got bored

or felt misunderstood.

I dunno, it seems to me, though,

that every woman

who writes about, you know,

kind of puts it down on a record

doesn't do them any harm.

Look at Dido. I mean, she...

she used that album to

clean out her emotional closet.

- Did she?

- Yeah, it's all about

the break-up of her relationship

and, you know,

- kind of like surviving.

- Mm...

And, uh, and not, not going...

I mean, like the whole thing

about not going down

with the ship.

- Yeah...

- I mean, Dido's Dido,

but, you know, I mean, uh...

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.

Fantastic.

You're managed by the company

who looks after S Club 7,

used to look after

the Spice Girls, Simon Fuller.

Have they tried to mould you

in any way?

Asked you to do things,

to change the way you look

or speak or behave?

Um, yeah, one of them

tried to mould me

into a big triangle shape

and I went, "No!"

No, 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.

Because I am common

and 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...

Psht!

- They didn't stick.

- Off my back, yeah.

I realized early on,

when Amy made her mind up,
