"The greatest singer ever was Sarah Vaughan. Winehouse was nowhere close to her."

That's the kind of comment one might expect of Smash Hits or Melody Maker. What next, "Stones Rule, Beatles suck"? Amy Winehouse had a marvellously understated contralto voice she used to great effect in a particular idiom. The gear undid her and she won't be the first or last to go that way.
