Terrible. Much prefer the original Lesley Gore version.

Detest the woman, but there's no denying, she used to have an amazing voice.

Used to... not only is this as near as dammit a self-parody of her own phrasing, but she also seems to have acquired some kind of mild speech impediment: "It's my pwarty/And I'll cwy if I want to/You would cwy two/If it happened to yow".

Granted she still blows crap like Biffa out of the water without getting out of bed, but with QJ running the show, I'm surprised he didn't keep at it until he got something better... unless, of course, this is "better".

Hahahaha! It's ma pawtee and i'll cwy if I want two! Oh dear. I do hope this isn't a sign of what's to come from her album. I doubt her vocals are this clear either so some serious polishing has gone on in order to make her recordable I think.

I even prefer the Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin version.

I'd better go and get a towel, my ears are bleeding.

That isn't real singing the way she twists words round.

If she'd sung it without all those wierd pronunciations it'd have been good. However she might be trying so sound hungover and miserable, in which case she's done a good job (FWIW do I wish Amy all the best in spite of this).

Shame. Wanted to like it but just can't get past how nasily it sounds. Was listening to Frank last night, that's a decent album, wish she could bring something new out of the same standard.

I think the vocal was good, but it does sound like she was on the lash and then just decided she wanted to sing.

I think she needs to quit so people can remember Back to Black and Frank for what they were.

The drink & drugs have shot her brain I'm afraid.No way back for her - probably some idiots will still rave about her.She needs to get away from the music business / celebrity / fame & just sort her head out - what's left of it anyway.

I closed the browser tab after about 15 seconds. It was awful. I don't mind Amy but this is shit.

I had high hopes for this - but it's like an Amy Winehouse parody....such a shame - I fear for the album

Wow...pretty ridiculous singing. I'm pretty sure Quincy Jones arranged the Lesley Gore record nearly 50 years ago.

I'm scared to listen to this.

I think I'll just stick with my copy of Back to Black. I fear Amy won't ever be that good again.
