Duffy Not Impressed With Amy Winehouse Comparisons

Duffy is fed up of being compared to fellow singers like Amy Winehouse in reviews of her work.

"It makes me mad that people keep comparing me to Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield." The Welsh singer is quoted as saying. "It's just labelling me as something else, without any respect for the struggle, the determination, focus or artistic vision that I have."

"It's like, 'Whoa, what's that about? Why would I want to be someone else?' Because I really don't. I just want to be me. It's kind of strange and disheartening to be constantly told who I look like, or who I sound like."

In a contradicting manner, it seems Duffy is pleased with some of the comparisons: "You do get some people who hit slightly closer to where I'm coming from. I got compared to Diana Ross the other day, which was a real compliment."

"And someone also wrote that I was the female Otis Redding, which really made me feel good because he's a hero of mine."
