Terrible video from tv but all I saw on youtube (from V Festival this weekend)

^thanks for posting. I'm sure there will be other better quality videos on YT but she did a great job.

Don't mean to be rude, but Dionne's voice is awful, too nasal. Besides I think she shows no emotion when she sings. Sorry but no one can replace Amy.

Who said anything about Dionne replacing Amy? She doesn't have an awful voice either, she might not be your cup of tea but there's no need to slate her. She's just a girl who can hold a note & had the opportunity to honor her godmother with her own take on 'Valerie', nothing wrong with that in my book...

Anyway.

I hope a better quality version comes out, also its good to see Dionne is still able to enjoy her time on the stage, i wish her nothing but the best.

I love Dionne !
She sings nasally though. It's a big problem.

Still think she's the sweetest girl with a big heart ! She deserves the best.

To my mind, Dionne is pretty much a baby in terms of singing and her voice is still rather 'thin' in texture.

As such, I thought I would absolutely hate this. The truth is, though, I actually don't.

And I'd far rather it was Dionne performing it than some damn
hopping-on-the-bandwagon mercenary.

Um guys ...isn't Dionne 15 years old?? Men aren't the only people whose voice changes....Dionne has plenty of time to have her voice change.

It's all great but at the same time so extremely depressing... Can't believe everyone but Amy gets to perform her songs from now on.

Give Dionne a few years and her voice will mature beautifully. I think with all that she's been through, she's got such strength and experience. I hope she pours this into her music.

I'm so impressed with her new album. So unexpected, there's some really brilliant tracks on there. And she wrote or co-wrote most of them!

[tunisianswife]

I think she has a great voice at such a young age. I love mostly the way she carries herself. she is very mature for her age and realized that from the interview she gave on BBC shortly after 7/23.

*interestingly, a couple years ago I remember seeing a 'paps' video on YT w/her and Amy in a corner store. Amy was buying candy and Dionne was with her. Amy was pulling (I think) licorice out of a container and started eating a strand of it there, she hands one to Dionne who would not eat it...she starts to but then stopped and I presumed because she hadn't had it paid for yet. I felt then that she was really a very well-behaved girl.

Amy's voice certainly changed - big time - between Frank & Back to Black, imo. I much prefer her voice on B2B.

Dionne has time on her side. There's definitely talent there, and she has potential - no doubt. She's still a kid. Time will tell.

I'm okay with Dionne in her first album. I think the album is very safe bet and clean cut. I figured her second album would be something similiar, but I was so wrong! I'm so amazed by her second album. The music direction is a spot on! Infact for some strange reason, I kinda feel that's where Amy kinda heading with her new album, but just a thought anyway. The album music is brilliant, I love it very much, but I can't help to wonder does Amy have anything to do with it. Maybe Amy pointed out the music direction without saying anything, she's like this! If that's the case, I'm worry about Dionne after Amy existed. Dionne is nothing like Amy, Amy could bring her songs to another level higher when she does it live. I've my doubts about Dionne. Nevertheless, I still think she's amazing! Good on her! Her new album is one of the best album I've heard since Back To Black. Dionne's talent in writing lyrics is very poor in my humble opinion.

True, maybe she still need sometime for her voice to mature. Time will tell.

I think Dionne is excellent! Very nice tribute! The girl is only 15 guys...dont be so hard! She has a lot going for her. And i think she will be very prepared for the industry thanks to Amy who cautioned her strongly against drink and drug use. Dionne is a very cute girl too.

Im still hoping for her cover of Love is a losing game at the big chill concert!

[Alan48]

Painful hearing Dionne sing that. But her Bob Marley cover has been my most-listened-to song since it came out in May.

Yeah, I prefer B2B Amy, preferrably late 2007 Amy. But I love when her voice is full and loud.
