DUFFY HATES WINEHOUSE COMPARISON

Welsh singer DUFFY is troubled by comparisons to British star AMY WINEHOUSE and soul singer DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - because she thinks it belittles her own hard work.

DUFFY and AMY WINEHOUSE

The Mercy hitmaker is constantly being compared to the two other singers but insists she wants to be recognised for her own sound.

She says, "It makes me mad that people keep comparing me to Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield. It's just labelling me as something else, without any respect for the struggle, the determination, focus or artistic vision 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."

But the 24-year-old has no problems being compared to her own musical icons.

She adds, "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 made me feel good because he's a hero of mine."
