The latest clip from this ill-advised biopic is shockingly terrible—especially considering the subject.
,” since that’s exactly what you have to be to watch the clip enough times to deduce what song Abela is mumble-scatting. As many times as I’ve heard “Stronger Than Me”—a single off Winehouse’s 2003 debut album,was going on in this video. Sure, the song is mangled and autotuned into a monster of its original form that sounds just half a note off from the original at all times.
I hate when people say that something “looks like an SNL skit” , but the clip of Abela infails to even meet the reductive criteria necessary for that hackneyed joke. The scene begins with Abela as Winehouse, singing “Stronger Than Me” for what appears to be label execs before signing her first recording contract.
It’s that combination, the sprint through Winehouse’s early career days along with the atrocious cover of one of her songs, that leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth. I see so little care taken to preserve the greatness of Winehouse’s artistry and talent. Rather,looks like it will prioritize the tragedy of her story over the truth about who Winehouse was.
