Amy Winehouse has an itch
Amy Winehouse is back in the studio working on her follow-up to 2006's Back To Black album

Amy Winehouse's new album to have Wizard Of Oz theme?

Singer said to be sampling songs from 1939 musical

Monday, 18 August 2008

Amy Winehouse’s new album is said to have been heavily influenced by classic movie The Wizard Of Oz.

The singer, who is in the studio working on the follow-up to Back To Black, is said to be such a fan of the 1939 Judy Garland musical that she’s decided to sample some of the score, including Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

‘She loves the surreal look, sound and score,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘The soundtrack and score will be a theme running throughout the record.

'It’s really interesting, if a little bizarre, but I suppose that’s what you would expect from her at the moment.

‘When Amy was writing Back To Black she was surrounding herself with 1960s soul music and that was obvious in the record. This time it will be sounds from The Wizard Of Oz.’

Amy, 24, was booed at the weekend when she gave erratic performances at the Virgin Mobile V Festival in Weston Park, Staffordshire, and Hylands Park, Essex.

I can't BELIEVE the nerve of Amy Winehouse! First her disruptive and abusive behaviour, for another her lack of talent. I find it difficult to get my head around the fact she's making so much money out of crowing down a microphone! Then she sets out to ruin one of the best films ever made.. because she feels she needs another album out. I mean, her career suffers because of her behaviour, not her material. Judy Garland and Eva Cassidy must be turning in their graves! Judy Garland died dedicated to her art, her performance... and now some talentless thug is taking advantage of her signature song.. and making more of a profit than she ever did? That's not right!

crowing down a microphone? who the **** are u to say ne1 has no talent never mind amy winehouse. she is one of the most talented and heartfelt singers i have ever come accross with an amazing voice. yeah she's made mistakes.... who hasn't... people need to cut her some slack (and maybe whilst they're there.. ur throat).and anyway she's on the road to recovery whether u like it or not and knowing u... u probably want her to be of her face and getting into trouble for ur own entertainment. well thaat's not what she's here for.. all she wants to do is put her feelings across to anyone that'll listen with one of the most devine voices of our time...so ppl like u need to get a grip and maybe get layed becoz if u were getting some u wudn't be posting things about ppl u don't even like...saddo. I LOVE AMY WINEHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
