I too was wowed by Miss Winehouse's music. Pretty neat soul (I guess) that isn't imitative or just nonsensical vocal theatrics. The album has a summer in the city kinda sound remindin' me of bright hot concrete, cool humid parks, and all the windows open through the short warm night.

I saw the Rehab video on MTV (yes, they still play videos between 2-6 AM) and was impressed by her look in that she isn't a standard cookie cutter kinda popster. She seems to have a real person kinda body which is nice to see in this day when a "band" finds a new member via a reality TV show to see which gal looks and movess the most like a stripper.

(And yep, it's pretty danged stupid to be discussin' an artist's looks, but hell, I'm a 21st century American. It's what we do.)
