Duffy: I hate being compared to Amy Winehouse

Welsh star finds it strange and disheartening

T4 On The Beach 2008: Duffy begs for Mercy
Duffy won Song Of The Year for Mercy at The Mojo Awards in June

Singer Duffy says she gets angry when she's likened to other artists.

The Welsh songstress, who won a Mojo award in June for Mercy, wants to be recognised for her own work.

‘It really make me mad that people keep comparing me to Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield,’ she tells Celebs On Sunday.

‘It’s just labelling me as something else, without any respect for the struggle, the determination, the focus or artistic vision I have.

‘It’s strange and disheartening to be constantly told who I look like, or who I sound like. I just want to be me.’
