‘I Told You I Was Trouble’: The Amy Winehouse Story (Part 1)

[Part 1 of 3] You can recognise it in an instant, that iconic voice and a candid style of songwriting beyond her years. The sound of Amy Winehouse was a sound unheard of since the days of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. But the name ‘Amy Winehouse’ seems to be as synonymous with talent as it is tragedy. On this season we’ll dive deep into the life of Amy. From her rise to fame, her artistry, to her pain, her loves, and her losses. Could she have been saved? What does her death tell us about the pervasive grip of addiction and fame?

‘I Told You I Was Trouble’: The Amy Winehouse Story (Part 2)

[Part 2 of 3] After a celebrated album with her debut, Frank, and with that distinct voice and sound, Amy Winehouse got very famous, very fast. Everyone wanted a second album, but Amy had entered a whole new world. On this episode, we’ll hear how Amy’s very private struggles with mental health and addiction became headlines for a relentless tabloid culture. And, in one of the most volatile love affairs in pop culture history, how would the story of Amy and Blake become a cautionary tale about the dangers of codependency?

‘I Told You I Was Trouble’: The Amy Winehouse Story (Part 3)

[Part 3 of 3] A month before Amy Winehouse’s death, her performance at a music festival in Serbia was resoundly panned. She was intoxicated for the whole world to see, but the silver lining of what would be labelled 'the worst gig of her career' meant she didn’t have to go on tour. It meant Amy, and those who loved her, had their hopes pinned on a chance for Amy to get better again. On this episode we’ll explore the final years in the life of Amy Winehouse. After her closest friends were convinced Amy was doing better than ever, how did she die? Why was she sent on tour when she was not only unwilling, but unwell? Plus, we’ll take a closer look at the 27 club. What is this unique curse that looms over the legacies of these young artists?

I enjoyed the two part Amanda bynes episode. I’d love for them to do Mary Kate and Ashley or even Britney Spears.

Please go back to the old format! The discussion is bad. It was so good when just telling the story. The banter is annoying and ruins the show.
ENOUGH OF THE DAM SUBSCRIPTION
