Trivia Tuesday: Amy Winehouse

by Sammi Dittloff on July 24th, 2007

Really, this section should be called “Awards Tuesday,” since most of the information I got was about awards Winehouse has received, but whatever, awards are trivia, so deal. Yeah.

Amy was placed #1 on Spinner.com’s “Women Who Rock Right Now.” Yeah? Well, what happens after right now? Only time will tell…
Winehouse won an Ivor Novello award in 2004 and 2007, both for Best Contemporary Song. Look up “Stronger Than Me” and “Rehab” to see if you agree.
The South Bank Show Awards, ever hear of them? Me neither, but apparently she won the award for Best Pop, so yay!!
The BRIT awards had Winehouse nominated four times and won once for Best Female Solo Artist
In 2007, the Elle Style Awards, well, awarded her with Best British Music Act. I’m not sure how style and music connect, but I mean, Amy Winehouse is pretty stylin’, so I guess that could happen, maybe, I’m not sure.
Greatest Britons also gave Amy an award in 2007 for Musical Achievement. They are the greatest, apparently, so huge honor, yeah?
Winehouse’s music has been covered by several artists already. “Rehab” has been covered by Girls Aloud, Paolo Nutini, and Justin Timberlake. Arctic Monkeys, a personal favorite band of mine, has covered “You Know I’m No Good,” and Prince covered “Love is a Losing Game.” Some pretty big creds for a relatively new artist.

Yes, all the trivia you can stuff into a trophy. I’m not sure if that made sense. Regardless, stick around for discography tomorrow!
