Brazilian Musical Interlude: er...Amy Winehouse?
While it was evident that she had a spectacular voice, I was never a fan of the late Amy Winehouse's performance, either on or off the stage.
Now, however, via Deep Brazil, comes this recently released track of Amy singing Girl from Ipanema, and I have to confess...I like it. Whatever you think of it, one thing is certain: you are not likely to hear this version in an elevator anytime soon.
Besides the chronic anglo mis-pronunciation of "Ipanema" I think she brings a fresh styling to the song while remaining faithful to it's overall "tropical-ness".
Perfect for the adrenaline junkie on your Christmas list; the Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max.
