Winehouse's first is my second June 26, 2008
I have been so amazed with Amy Winehouse's voice. I love the music, totally 60's meandering through the CD. She may have her problems and she does need to get over that if she really wants to keep up the wonderful work of her music, but to listen to her sing you are transported to those 60's thoughts.
 Not sure of what this Album was trying to do. June 24, 2008

This album was kind of confusing. I wasn't sure if the album was supposed to be jazz, R&B, or neo-soul. I would give the music composition a 5-star and Amy Winehouse's singing abilities a 2. She does not have the voice for jazz. The music was beautiful on some of the tracks, but her voice ruined the music. I don't know what her style is because she is not an original. On this album, she copies everyone else's style but her own. People can sense when someone is not an original and no one appreciates a cheap copy. Her singing reminds me of Jill Scott or Erykah Badu's style of singing. As a matter of fact, a lot of the songs reminded me of Jill Scott's music. It would be nice if Amy Winehouse would find her own style and stick to it and quit emulating other singers before her. Again, the music composition was nice on this album. Her band could actually ditch her and make a jazz album on their own. Her band is very talented! I found myself listening to the album wishing that her vocals weren't included and just being able to listen to the actual music. The music was very nice.
 Amy Takes On The C*L*A*S*I*C*S! June 19, 2008

The FRANK DELUXE EDITION two-cd set from Amy Winehouse is a treasure. Jazzier than Back to Black, FRANK is a call back to another place and time. Winehouse is pure talent and it's a shame that her personal life is so out of control that it might bring the end to such a force of nature.
The first cd in FRANK must be the original cd and begins with an intro of Winehouse scatting. It goes on with songs that have a funky jazz & soul beat and Winehouse sounds like a cross between Billie Holliday and Shirley Bassey, with a little Barbra Streisand thrown in for good measure. I love her remake of "Moody's Mood For Love." There are also a couple of hidden tracks that start after the "Outro."
But the real treat is the second cd. This bonus disc has Winehouse covering classics like "Someone To Watch Over Me," "Teach Me Tonight," and "'Round Midnight" and she makes them all her own. Also included on cd 2 are live versions of the songs "Stronger Than Me," "I Heard Love Is Blind," "Take The Box," and "In My Bed" and other mixes of songs from cd 1.
Also included is a small booklet with liner notes by Paul Flynn and the lyrics to the songs on cd 1.
Hopefully Ms. Winehouse will get her self together. But even if she doesn't, FRANK DELUXE ED. is an enjoyable cd set.

You have to acknowledge the TALENT that Amy Winehouse has....This is an excellent album with an entire disc of unreleased material. She has a very unique , throwback style that is completely modern , yet pays homage to the female artists that came before her. Although I don't agree with her much publicized antics , she is one VERY talented artist...I just hopes she stays around for many future releases
