Watch: Amy

Amy Winehouse is known for her jazz, R&B, and soul influences and her passionate, lower range vocals. But her talent was often overshadowed by a public image that showed up in the tabloids as a hot mess. This documentary humanized Amy as more than just her rebel persona, and as a sensitive being who, despite all of her fame and fortune, fell prey to the pressure and chaos that came with being a celebrity.

In this documentary there is footage of Amy's childhood and humble beginnings singing in local pubs and joints around her town, dialogue about how she met her husband Blake Fielder who introduced her to drugs, scenes and hear-say about her and her husband's drug addiction, her failed intervention to get her to go to rehab (which happened to be right before she got signed to Island Records), her rise to fame, and eventually her descent back into addiction and mental illness after Fielder went to jail, which led to her premature death in her home on July 23, 2011.

Overall this was a great depiction of Amy because most of it was made up of raw footage of Amy herself, and interviews of those closest to her, which really gave you a sense of who she was in her day to day life. Watch it and see the heartbreaking story behind one of Britain's most influential singer-songwriters of her generation.
