I'm gonna wait until the full song is out & then i'm gonna give my review.

I like Beyoncé, i used to be a HUGE fan of hers some years ago, but then i stopped worshipping her and just kept on listening to her music. She's actually got a great voice and must be a great live performer ( i'm gonna see her live in May for the first time, very excited! :heart:).
And i also think that Beyoncé learns very fast, if you listen to Songs from her 1st Album, you'll notice that her voice has changed A LOT. She also listens to different kind of music to develop expand her knowlegde of different music styles. I'm really excited for her next album too, they say it's coming out later this year.

Sounded bad. Perhaps that was the goal? A futuristic sounding pile of shite.

We're talking about Mitch here haha. I agree....
The whole twitter thing has gotten out of hand, can't really say he shouldn't have one, but it's a nice thought. (for me, anyway, I know some fans enjoy him?) I think the last thing Amy would want to hear in the media is some bullshit her dad said... even if I agree with him on things, why can't he do it in a respectable way? It's weird enough that Amy isn't here, now her dad is making headlines? Ugh...

I think it's completely fine that he has a twitter account, too. Sure, there are plenty of people who want to hear what he has to say. Sometimes I am guilty of that! But, if you want a donation, don't ask, rather demand money via twitter. They have managers and labels that deal w/ this kind of stuff.

Also, I think that there would have had to be some sort of permission for Beyonce to cover B2B on a soundtrack. I wonder how this all worked out?

You know, I think Jay-Z and Beyonce are genuine fans of Amy, they actually looked mezmerized by her when they met her, and I think this cover - as bad as it may be - is exactly what you're describing: two artists who really appreciated Amy's talent and what she contributed to contemporary music wanting to pay recognition...in a really clumsy way!

I completely agree. I have heard Jay-z on several occasions talk about how great she was. I'm pretty sure he saw her first show in the US at Joe's Pub. Plus, he has added a chorus to Rehab, which she must have approved.

I'm not too excited about the fact that Beyoncé got her hands on Amy's song, to be truthful. But people will get to hear Amy's song again, so that's good. I would rather see them use the real deal though and just use Amy's version of it.

Gawwwwd... really not sure what to think about this! The Great Gatsby is one of my fave novels and I am excited about the film but think hearing Beyonce covering my favourite song is gonna ruin it for me. Funny though as I have often thought that this song would be perfect for the film but I think they should have just used the original, and best version. I can't see Beyonce feeling it like Amy used to.
I guess we just have to take it as a compliment that her song is being covered for one of the biggest films of the year... to be positive about it!

Well , let's see....Ah..no, sorry folks.....Beyonce doing Amy songs...no...no..no....
Although, some folks CAN pull it off and do justice in a cover...Beyonce, is not one them...For me, the ideal folks to even consider and possibly pulling it off , in my opinion would be : Diana Krall, Amanda Marshall, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire...some more, but these folks come to mind for me....Remember, this is only my reflection of this, you can agree or disagree .

I'd love nothing better than for Bey to get a law suit on her hands for covering this without permission, the fact that Mitch had no idea any of this was happening, I smell mess on the horizon

[LaPeep]

Heh heh.......Mitch is just a cabbie, he is not some experienced CEO of a large corporation. Yes.... he heckles people for money but thats him and part of his charm or lack of it. But I find it hard to believe that this is the first that he has heard of Beyonce covering B2B. Wouldnt the music publishing company notify him?

damn what show is that from? she sounds like she's in a lot of pain.

[Sassy]

^Is that supposed to be funny?

[amylove]

No. It doesn't sound good to me at all. Some of her live performances don't.

[ILoveAmyWinehouse]

No. It doesn't sound good to me at all. Some of her live performances don't.

Totally agree & I love Amy.
