[edit] Aimee/Amy?

Clicking on random references that are cited, Duffy's birth name is spelt as 'Amy' rather than 'Aimee'. I was just curious as to what the official spelling of her first name is? londonsista | ^Prod 19:58, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

If you check out one of the pay sites that give access to the official Register of Births, ancestry.com for example, then it's Aime - however that might well be a transcription error. Aimee has always used Aimee, the Amy versions are wrong for sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.195 (talk) 10:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

K, cheers for that! londonsista | ^Prod 05:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I can confirm that the correct spelling is "Aimee", not Amie or Amy.

[edit] Being compared to Dusty Springfield

About the recent added bit "a sound that has been compared to Dusty Springfield, although she sounds nothing like her." Being compared to Dusty Springfield by a verifiable source is OK. It only means someone observed a Dusty Springfield influence. You can think what you like! Though I did think Rockferry sounded like a Dusty song when I heard it just before.... —An Sealgair (talk) 10:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

I changed the year of her date of birth to 1984. The only issue I seem to have with her birth date is that some sites seem to list it as June 1 while others seem to list it as June 23. Carface (talk) 07:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

It's definately June 23rd —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jojojojo84 (talk • contribs) 00:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rockferry

A few of the sentences in the Rockferry section lean on the side of promotional rather than informative - suggest a rewrite of the Vodafone gig, backing band details & forthcoming single info to concentrate on Duffy's achievements rather than future events.

[edit] Rockferry music video director?

I would like to add this information to the song's related article and Duffy's discography article, but cannot find who the director was. Thanks. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 01:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
