Believe it or not, Amy Winehouse was once a promising young musician. My, my, my, how fast things can change! While the wino pop-wreck may have capsized due to drug addiction and legal trouble, not all hope is lost for her fans; Welsh singer Duffy‘s music boasts a remarkably similar soul-filled voice and throwback mentality. On a Cool & Dre remix of Mercy, the UK chart-topping second single off her debut album, Rockferry, The Game‘s two brief verses help to bring a more mainstream appeal to the song. Additionally, fans of Ben E. King (and Sean Kingston) will also recognize the borrowed Stand By Me bassline. As long as Duffy avoids the rehab route, songs like Mercy should have no trouble winning over a now-alienated Winehouse fanbase.

djblaze DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1315	Rating: djblaze's Top Rated Songs I am not diggin this beat at all; and it makes Game's flow sound a bit forced. The song has an amy winehouse type of feel; but its not quite the same. Vocals sound a little flat in a wierd way. I think its' simply OK...Maybe it will catch on with me more after I heard it a few times...Still it is a bit innovative

cb126405 DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1386	Rating: cb126405's Top Rated Songs Game brings it on here, he is on fire right now...period. And I am always willing to hear a different, unique voice...which is what Duffy has. This song is best when Game does his thing, but the rest of it is ok too.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 3918	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Great combination, it reminds me of Jay jumping on Amy W's work last year. This girl has a great radio voice, a cute smile, and obvious great connections. Solid effort, getting tired of the sample though. DJ Booth on Twitter

Obecalp DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 296	Love the stand by me baseline, her voice has a bit of soulfulness to her. Pretty original track, but it wasn't anything stunning like when amy winehouse first dropped her tracks. I must say it was a smart move using someone like the Game to give it the feel they were going for.

FredRico's Top Rated Songs

Nice effort, I strongly support the idea of the song (the mix of music genres). I like her singing abilities (loved the high pitched "yes I do" on the 2nd verse) more than her voice though. Game on the other hand is a chameleon when it comes to his flow: he can rap over any beat and is a smart dude! I’m still impressed with his heartfelt insightful lyrics from “Self construction” (KRS One’s), a monster track I recommend y’all. Back to the track, the bass line reminded me more of Janelle Monae’s song here on the booth than Stand by me’s.

BDF44 Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2267	Rating: BDF44's Top Rated Songs How does Game find himself on songs like this? Is it an interscope thing? Someone tell me. This White folk soul seems to be the fad these days. Its not terrible, but honestly come on, we were on this level 40 years ago, catch up yall! Nothin new!
