Every song she has sounds like a broken record. I can't go more than 30 seconds without getting a massive migrain headache from her music. I don't think anyone actually thinks she's good - it just happens to be cool to like her music.

i think her music is kinda kool, its different. i dont like the way she performs but shes got the voice to back it up. mark ronson is insanely talented and i think dat theme song needs to be updated, why not use amy's voice.?

Dirty filthy crack head does not deserve to do the James Bond Theme. Why can't Portishead do it?

she doesnt desere the oppertunity to produce the new bond song, leona lewis does, her voice is so much better than amys.

I heard that there was a campaign for Muse to create the song for the film. Obviously not, bloody Amy Winehouse!!! :S

crackhead she may be, she's insanely talented. a lot of music these days is rubbish...Mark Ronson is overrated though. would've been nice to see her working with someone else.

Hmm...a producer (who cant write) and a singer (who cant write) all they need is a writer, a real musician, not a cover artist.

I think she's perfect to do it...aside from her problems she does have the voice and that's what counts

back to black is a superb album, no question. 8 million sales? don't think all those people bought it because they thought it would make them "cool", chadley. she's a wonderful lyricist, melodist and singer. only a fool would claim she "can't write". yes Ronson is essentially talentless as a performer, but as a producer and foil to amy, he's perfect. as long as she emerges from the crack-smoke long enough to pen a decent tune, the bond theme will be superb, i'm sure. oh yeah, the felony, heard portishead's new tune last night. one word - PAINFUL.

Mark Ronson is actually a vagina! A big, posh, floppy-haired vagina!

amy winehouse is clearly an amazingly telented artist, look at the amount of awards she's won, and she's one of the only artists who is able to be a so-called "crackhead" and still have millions of fans. And she's been given the Bond Theme song because her voice is unique, new, and in my opinion amazing. And Chadley, clearly people do like her coz her album has gone somethin like multi platinum and shes broke america so shutup.
