White people singing de blues
Had_enough-
There is just something incredibly troubling about your post. That whole bit about authenticity, etc. Who's real and who is not. And the whole, white people trying to sing the blues bullshit.
Would you say a black person who sings opera is somehow unconvincing? Is a poseur? If someone told me that when I was studying classical singing, I would have smacked them in the face.
Just like felt like doing to you after I read your post.
BTW, I love Amy Winehouse. I hope she gets better, and continues to make her "inauthentic" music.
