I'm sorry but I am utterly disturbed. I arrive to work this morning and do my routine surfing of the internet, exploring sites like Perez Hilton, Ybf, etc. and it was on Perez Hilton that I saw this foolishness. Now, before I continue on with my fatuous rant, let me make it clear that I absolutely love Amy Winehouse. She is getting HEAVY rotation in the car as well as on my ipod. I simply can't get enough of her. From her raw, prolific lyrics that cuts to the core to her soulful sound, what is there not to love and whole heartily appreciate? Her album Back to Black is a must have for all music lovers. *I personally feel she needs to cut me a check the way I be advertising this broad but whatever.*
Anyway, which brings me to the original point I was trying to make. Although I feel that she's a refreshing alternative to the bullsh*t that's on the radio now a days, the New Queen of Soul??!!!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves now. I'm so sick of how quick critics are to regard someone with such reverence when it's still a work in progress. Slow the f' down!!!
A Queen is a woman that is preeminent in any respect...since we're talking about music, the first person that comes to mind that is worthy of the seat at the throne is Ms. Aretha Franklin.

I don't even need to sit here and try to prove my case because of the name alone...this is not up for debate.
Hate to say this but honestly, Amy Winehouse is the court jester of Soul in comparison.
Not a hater, I'm just sayin'...

I still think she looks like a crack head.
Ok, but honestly, how many times are people given that title "queen", "king",
"princess" or "prince" of soul, r&b, pop, rock, etc, and obviously they are not. Those terms are being used loosely and it's definitely being used loosely on this cover. I can't wait to read the article cause I wonder if they meant of "all time" or "at the moment".
And also, everyone has an opinion on who they think is the queen, king, prince, princess of all time is. Not everyone will think Aretha is the Queen of Soul. I do, but no everyone. OBSY
i think they meant of the moment not all time.
