Who Sung It Best: Amy Winehouse Edition (Valerie, back to black, you know I'm no good)

[Hsamid]

In honor of an amateur Amy Winehouse film I came across, it inspired me to make this thread since there has been a ton of professional sounding, movie star quality, winehouse covers on the show. But who do you think has the best renditions of Valerie, you know I'm no good, and back to black?

 

There will be a thread on the overall best Amy winehouse cover on the show, but due to the amount of covers, let's pick the best of these 3 first.

 

Also, please let me know if I'm missing any, and don't vote if the whoever is missing wpuld have been your pick.

1. Jacquie - also I know we don’t like Sugar (I don’t generally either) but she was good here

 

2. Kelsea

 

3. Raquel tbh, I have to rewatch but I also remember liking Ricky/Marina here

[StarWalker1]

1. Jacquie

 

2. Loren ... this was an All-Time moment for me!

 

3. Marina vs Ricky

[indii]

1. JaRae but Jacquie is close

2. Loren by far 

3. Raquel

Finally we both agreed on all things

Jacquie

Loren

Rocky v. Marina

[Hsamid]

1. Can't stand Jacquie's tone sometimes but don't mind it here. That said, JaRae. Her voice and stylistic choices bring the drama out of the song better imo.

 

Also Bryan Keith deserves some love especially since it was live. That was really good.

 

2. Loren easily.

 

3. Oof. Really hard

Michael and Dave's was the most soulful but I think Ricky and Marina did a better job actually dueting. Raquel's was fun and killed it in the original tempo. Flip a coin

 

[AliXRose]

1. Back To Black : Jacquie Lee
2. You Know I'm No Good : Loren Allred
3. Valerie : Marina vs. Ricky

HM : Lili Passero's Tears Dry On Their Own.

[New but Old]

1. Jacquie Lee - best version

2. Loren Allred - this is iconic, a moment and defeated a 4-chair turner.

3. Dave Vs Michael - love this one, preferred it more than Ricky vs Marina
