Lelde Dreimane claims first place on Izklausies redzēts as Amy Winehouse

Actress Lelde Dreimane claimed first place on the second episode of the 360TV musical transformation show Izklausies redzēts by performing as British singer Amy Winehouse. While Jauns.lv reported on subsequent developments surrounding the third episode of the competition, the earlier installment highlighted Dreimane’s transformation into the singer, capturing both her signature vocal styling and personal aesthetic.

Lelde Dreimane Transforms into Amy Winehouse

Dreimane took on the challenge of channeling Winehouse by performing the track Back to Black, a song centered on painful relationship breakups and emotional loss. Lasi.lv noted that the actress had to capture the artist’s deep, distinctive voice, expressive stage mannerisms, and emotionally heavy delivery. The performance required a physical transformation to replicate the singer’s iconic look, including a high, full hairstyle and expressive makeup.

Contrasting Contestant Performances Across Episodes

The musical competition featured a diverse lineup of personalities stepping into the shoes of performers. Ērglis in the second Izklausies redzēts episode took on the persona of Viktors Lapčenoks, Elīna Fūrmane stepped into the ampluā of Elvis Presley, and Ieva Sutugova reflected on the first week of the show. Meanwhile, Jauns.lv documented how the show continued into its third episode, leaving performer Intars Busulis without words following the announcement of that round’s winner.

Legacy of the Soul Icon on Stage

The choice of Winehouse brought the musical legacy of the 21st-century star back into the spotlight. Winehouse achieved global recognition with her 2006 album Back to Black, which included hits like Rehab, You Know I’m No Good, and the title track, before her death in 2011 at the age of 27. At the 2008 Grammy Awards, Eimija Vainhausa received five awards, including for best record and song Rehab, as well as the title of best new artist.
