bloom hard, fall hard

Maybe you haven't heard of this singer, because you believed in Gao Xiaosong's evil and went to watch a documentary "Amy", which is more bloody and cruel than "The Revenant" swallowing beef liver and hiding naked in a horse's body , reveals the bitter past behind the late British Grammy diva Amy Winehouse, her legendary life.

I had heard about it beforehand, but I didn't catch a cold, and I didn't get in touch with the music she created.

After 123 minutes of baptism in the film, I was attracted by what everyone called "the queen of poisonous insects". The lyrics of jazz music are profound and full of sensibility, but they are not pretentious. When they are examined by the ears of the listeners, they can still stand on the cutting edge of the trend without being buried. Innocent, she doesn't want to be a hit, and she doesn't care about fame and fortune. Because jazz musicians are only eager to tell their music stories in a small bar. At the 50th Grammy ceremony, she won five awards including best production, best newcomer, and best song. Everything made her even more confused...

In the early years, under the shadow of her father's derailment and divorce, she chose a flash marriage and married the husband who thought she was the real son. Her husband used any means necessary to induce her to take drugs, even though she occasionally tried to say goodbye to alcohol and drugs and to leave the nightmarish husband. She chose to escape and went to a small island in the Caribbean to spend time with friends. Unexpectedly, her father wanted to get the spotlight, showing up with a large number of reporters, and encouraging these unscrupulous media to follow his daughter, and even let the entertainment industry call her disease. Make fun of alcohol.

Over the years, she had to suffer from alcohol, drugs and family problems, which caused his physical and mental condition to deteriorate dramatically, whether it was because of bulimia or alcoholism. In the end, Amy's heart stopped at the age of 28, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

In the Mood for Love, the queen slept forever like a child. I sighed, unconsciously thinking of those superstars like Michael Jackson, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, who were attacked and ridiculed by the media during their lifetimes. Celebrities have no personal space, stripped naked, and lived under the vicious gaze of the public. Can't relieve the pain inside. How many bitter tears are hidden behind each popular single?

Amy quotes

  • Yasiin Bey: I became aware of Amy in 2004. I'm a big jazz fan and I really liked what she was doing. I thought it was unique, I thought it was edgy. And sincere. And that's the thing I like most about Amy. She didn't have any airs. She was real... She was just a charming, sweet lady. I had a bit of a crush on her, to be honest. She was raw, she was fast with a blue joke, could drink anybody under the table, wasn't afraid to roll a smoke. Had a big, giant laugh, and was just a sweetheart, you know?

  • Amy Winehouse: Success to me is not success to the record company or whoever. Success to me is having the freedom to work with whoever I want to work with, to always be able to go to the studio when I have to go to the studio... I think the more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is making tunes. So leave me alone and I'll do it. I will do the music. I just need time to do the music.
