> “It’s funny, I actually saw her before she was who she was,” Clarkson told guest Marisa Abela, who is portraying Winehouse in the biopic Back to Black. “She was just coming over with her boyfriend and it was while I was shooting this movie that I absolutely hate [From Justin to Kelly].”
> The “Breakaway” singer continued: “But anyway, we all did a karaoke night. And it was before she was her, and she almost sounded a little different as well. It was, like, before she became Amy Winehouse. I don’t think she had a record deal or anything at that time. **But we all went to karaoke and she sang Etta James and I was like, ‘Wait, what?’ It was like she, just from the jump, had such a presence about her voice. It almost became, like, more of a character, too, like with herself throughout her career.”**
