Amy Winehouse alive today

WOW, personally I find that very harsh. I don't count anyone's hits, I listen to their voice, and their music. Amy could sing jazz, she could sing blues, she could sing Soul, In a way I think her singing was a throw back, retro if she had survived - there may have been less hip-hop. Amy was a singer who liked an emotional content in her songs - you could feel the pain that the Amy was portraying when she sang, I don't feel she could do that with hip-hop.

Sad, that she followed the path of Janis Joplin, rather than be able to sing at Aretha Franklin's tribute.
Indeed. More of a fan of Adele's voice tbh(to name a living artist without her obvious flaws).

I like Adele too, but she only came to the fore, with the demise of Amy - she filled the void left with no Amy, though sometimes can get a bit too strident.

If she was still alive, would she have become an international superstar a sort of 21st century Dusty Springfield (heralded by many in the US as the best white female 'soul' singer), or would she have become more akin to Joan Armatrading who had much success decades ago, but little - in the way of chart success since - but still Tours (went to a concert of hers several years ago). To reiterate what I've said earlier - I can well imagine her singing in an ATL at the Aretha Franklin Tribute.
 
You'd need to keep Pete Doherty out of her life for sure, and have her willing to go into some serious rehab and councelling. Honestly though, even with that, I doubt it she'd make it to today.

Adele was always going to make it, everyone in the UK bought her records to encourage her to sing all the while, lowering the chances of hearing her godsfucking awful hideous speaking voice.

Joking aside, I reckon Mari Wilson (image especially) and Alf Moyet were far bigger influences on Adele than Amy W.

I think she'd make it, but only by retiring.
