• Mark Ronson - Valerie featuring Amy Winehouse

Mark Ronson can pull all the celebrities in for recording tracks but when it comes to music videos it just doesn't happen. Here is the new video for "Valerie" (of course the fantastic Zutons cover) sans Wino. Taking her place are the "Winettes" and ummm...they definitely don't come close to Amy. Side note: I miss Ronson on the decks

Either this video was done this way simply because Amy Winehouse wasn't available (for obvious reasons), or it's a genius comment on the current expendability of fucked up pop princesses.

Amy Winehouse (in spirit),' the clip offers a series of five girls (dubbed The Winettes) fronting the Ronson band, with and without lyric sheets, lip syncing as Britney only wishes she could. Version 's not for everyone, but this [...]

I guess with all the back and forth involving Amy in and out of rehab, it was a much easier task to just hire an Winehouse-esque lip-syncer for his new video - a cover of The Zutons' 'Valerie'. Enjoy the brand new clip for the tune below. More Ronson at bottom of post. MP3: Mark Ronson - Stop Me (Smiths cover)
