Ross: Have they tried to mould you…

Winehouse: Yeah, one of them tried to mould me into a big triangle shape, and I went „No“… (Beachte dazu die Gestik!)


Jonathan Ross's Akzent wird je nach Wohlwollen als "London accent", "estuary English", "fat tongued wibble" oder "wubbish" bezeichnet. Er kann aber auch Irish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mj64P9S0XM

Jonathan Ross: Have they tried to mold you any way? That have people asked you to change the way you look or speak or behave?

Amy Winehouse: Yeah, one of them tried to mold me into a big triangle shape. And I went, "No!" Nah, you know. I've got my own style, I've got my own style, and I wrote my own songs, and you know, if someone has so much of something already, there's very little you can add.

To be honest, to my AE ears, Amy is a bit easier to understand than Mr. Ross. Maybe he mumbles or talks fast? I get the gist, but I had to listen to the 20 second clip or so several times to catch what he said, and I'm still not sure I got everything in the part right before "the way you look or speak or behave." Slightly later he says that Amy sounds common and he is common. I'm not a good judge of BE accents, but I would be surprised if he were considered "vorbildlich."

edit: Ich wollte schreiben: Er versucht aber auch "Irish"...

Vielen Dank!

A. Winehouse spricht Cockney English, oder?

Yeah, one of them tried to mould me into a big triangle shape, and I went „No“…

= Einer von sie wollte sie zu einer großen Triangel formen, aber sie sagte nein?

triangle - Dreieck.
Wohl nicht das Musikinstrument gemeint...

Vermute, sie hätte auch "Viereck" oder "Trapez" sagen können; gemeint ist irgendeine Form, in die sie sich nicht pressen lassen wollte.
