The article criticizing britpop's self-segregation finalizes with a shout out to "Mike Skinner of the Streets, Lily Allen, Hot Chip and Lady Sovereign".
Lilly Allen? Lady Sovereign? The latter has an absurd, arguably offensive, black-face/steppenfetchit shtick but none of these could be considered positive in any way. They are all HORRiBLE!!
Now, Amy Winehouse is fantastic and even if you don't like her, her singing is observably outstanding, with phrasing and tonality the equal of any in the r&b business. But the again, her influences could well have been the same as Mick and Keith's.
