Swagger Jagger

“You should get some of your own…” No! You should not! Not for yourself or your friends or your children. Why? Because it’s ridiculous and annoying. Because it makes your ears bleed. Because it makes you want to smash the radio into pieces or punch the person who dares to sing it in your presence.

The people who produced this song should be ashamed and publicly apologise for making us suffer such trash.

The artist herself should be prosecuted and banned from making music for life. Rhyming ‘Swagger’ with ‘Jagger’? Someone’s having a laugh.

The most worrying thing however, is that somehow this song managed to make its way to #1. How? Why? I don’t know. And I ‘m not sure if I want to.

I’m a hater Cher. And I will not let go.

But first I need to cut my ears off.

They tried to make her go to rehab, she said no, no, no…

So it happened. Amy Winehouse is dead. A surprise, but let’s be honest, not a complete shock. Undoubtedly, she had the talent to applaud, however, not a life-style to admire. Numerous bottles of various spirits amongst the thousands of flowers outside her house say it all. Her death was a great loss to the world of music as well as to the tabloid press.

I loved her voice and enjoyed her music. Here are some of her best, and my favourite songs.

Take The Box was her second single from Frank.

Pumps.

Looking back at these videos I can’t believe how much she changed.

When Back To Black came out in 2006 she looked the way most of us will remember her.  Angry makeup, lots of tattoos, boney shoulders.  And that big black beehive on her head.

You Know I’m No Good.

Love Is A Loosing Game.

She now joins the likes of Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain.

Valerie.

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse. No more hangover.
