BBoyes May 15, 2013 - 15:06 | Wow, what a story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_Gardot While cycling in Philadelphia in November 2003 she was hit by a car whose driver had ignored a red traffic light. In the accident she suffered serious head and spinal injuries and her pelvis was broken in two places. Because of these severe injuries she was confined to her hospital bed for a year and had to remain lying on her back. As a further consequence of her injuries she had to re-learn simple tasks such as brushing her teeth and walking. The most noticeable effect of the neural injuries she suffered is that she was left hyper-sensitive to both light and sound, therefore requiring her to wear dark sunglasses at nearly all times to shield her eyes. The accident also resulted in both long and short term memory problems and difficulty with her sense of time. Gardot has described coping with this as like "climbing Mount Everest every day" as she often wakes with no memory of what she has to do that day. Initially prompted by an attending physician who believed music would help her brain injury drastically improve, Gardot began writing music after her accident... |

Personally I think as much as anything that it's a coincidence, as I don't think that either Melody Gardot or Amy Winehouse (or for that matter, Adele) were greatly influenced by each other while developing their styles. And anyway the judgement should be based on their music, and each of them has produced material which is, by any standards, very decent indeed, and leagues better than some of the other stuff that is around. |
