So I had the privilege of meeting Sergio Rivero last night... Sergio's a winner of the Spanish version of Idol, Operación Triunfo. He's so charming and talented, and I had a blast singing with him! Francois Paul Aiche (who was behind the scenes on this one - programming the strings) introduced us - Francois is actually producing both of our forthcoming albums. Cant wait for you guys to hear how brilliant he is! Anyway, this is our cover of Leona Lewis' song "Happy" - I hope you enjoy it :)

Don't miss me, and a special guest appearance by my blow up doll Rob Pattinson, and my Lady Gaga wig on Wednesday, November 11th at 4 p.m. PST / 7 p.m. EST. 


This footage was shot after I'd been awake for 37 hours... notice how every youtube video I put up takes place in the wee hours - that's how I roll :) 

But in all seriousness, please join me for my chat on Wednesday, November 11th at 4pm PST. I'll be answering questions and playing a couple songs...Hope to see you there.

I know I'm not the only person to be unhealthily obsessed with Robert Pattinson who plays Edward, lead vampire, in the bloody drama Twilight: New Moon, so I decided to take my unhealthy, unbalanced obsession to a whole new creepy level by doing a parody of Twilight and covering "Obsessed" by Miley Cyrus. Haha, "Robsessed"... I'm definitely on Team Edward.

I'm stoked to see New Moon coming out Nov. 20th! I'll see you there, popcorn in hand :)

ps. this is a partial dramatization--- I'm really not this creepy....

After seeing how Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during the 2009 VMAs when she was accepting her moonman for Best Female Video, I thought it would be fun to rewrite the words to Taylor's song "Love Story" to recap the incident. I wrote it from the point-of-view of her alter-ego "T-Swizzle" (which you might know from the "Thug Story" video she did with T-Pain). I'm a big fan of Taylor's and just hope she knows that we're all on her side :)

I wrote the lyrics while at the Laundromat and filmed it at 3 o'clock in the morning before I left for an East Coast tour... which is why I might look a little sleepy, lol. I hope you enjoy it!



Here are the lyrics:
Me and T-Pain made a music video
About a thug life - it was just a joke
But not to Kanye, not when he's drinking Hennessey
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see him make his way through the crowd
To say hello
Little did I know
He jacked my mic
And proceeded to 'dis me
I'm sorry that I've sold ten million CDs
I was balling backstage
Crying teardrops on my guitar

Kanye rushed me Sunday at the VMAs
Tried to lift my moonman and give it to Beyonce
It's not that I dont like her
I think she's classy
But I'm only 19 and I work my f****** ass off

Yo yo Kanye, how could you be so heartless?
Who mowed your hair, you look like a gay fish
Try to play T-Swizzle, you've got some kinda nerve
Oh it's a thug story
Kanye, you've been served

Hello :)
It's been a while since I've written one of these! I'm a little outta practice but here goes :)

I just arrived back in Los Angeles from America's Camp, in Hinsdale Mass where I performed and taught a song-writing workshop. It was an unbelievable experience and I consider myself greatly blessed to have been a part of it. I'll be uploading more pictures shortly but here are a few of my faves (AC campers- I miss you guys!):

Here's my tribute to Lady Gagas Poker Face music video! Her video is incredibly sexy and mine is.well.youll see :) Peter A. Barker and Cezar Barretto put the track together. Pip is the Boston Terrier (I had to give him credit...Since this video he's endured a severe blow to his formerly clean reputation). Last but not least I want to thank ALL OF MY FANS for submitting their poking footage. THANK YOU!



Here are the lyrics:
V. 1
Dont hold this against me
Cause Im really not a creep
I want to poke you
And I'm asking pretty please
Lets play a game
Shove lots up grapes up in your mouth
So when I poke you
All the grapes come shooting out
Ow, Ow, Ow,
I just cant stop I'll poke till you pop
(You'll love it)
Ow, Ow,Ow
I just cant stop I'll poke till you pop

Chorus:
I can't lie, cant deny
That I've been dying to poke your face
And other places on your body
p-p-p-poke yer face
p-p-poke yer face

V.2
If you are ugly
I will poke you with a stick
If I were Bruno
I would poke you with my D- (foot)
If I were Harry Potter
I would poke you with my magic wand
And If you had the swine flu
I would poke you with a vaccine shot

Bridge:
If you want to moonwalk while you're poking that's alright
-Oh sorry, didn't mean to poke you in the eye!
Don't play hard to get because I'm certain that you really want it
Now I'm gonna poke you with my finger with a band-aid on it

-Lyrics by Amy Kuney

Marc Schrobilgen helped me film at Threshold Sound+Vision studios.

Thanks to my wonderful fans, I won the Script cover contest for "The Man Who Can't be Moved" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKaxtrxJXfE
As my prize, I got to meet the band and they were SOOOO sweet and charming. Danny (the lead singer) is so gracious to his fans and my respect for him went up a million times. Here are a few pix...it was a WONDERFUL birthday present!

Details, rules and guidelines:

So I'm making a video but I won't tell you what it's about yet (it's a secret). I know it's going to be hilarious with YOUR help.


Puh-leez send me footage of YOU poking someone in the face. It can be your sister, your mom, your dog or  a complete stranger (but please don't do anything dangerous because I can't be responsible for that). You can ask politely if they will let you poke them first. I recommend that...I need it by Monday night and I need it in Quicktime (.mov or .avi) format.


Please send it to this address: AmyKuney@gmail.com


Note: the weirder, crazier, funnier the better...but no nudity.


Thank you :)

Last night I discovered a new artist through my friend (also an amazingly talented artist, Esthero). His name is Mr. Hudson and I was floored by his performance especially considering the fact that he had tonsillitis and almost had to cancel the show.

Check out his song "Super Nova"


Here are some pix from the show:

So I've learned that when my manager (Reese), was in the 7th grade, she was a little infatuated with the Hansons (namely, the middle brother, Taylor). According to witnesses (her friends), Reese was known to mildly "stalk" them and sent them letters which were never answered. Reese's friends decided to forge a letter "from Taylor" to make her feel better. The letter has recently surfaced after all these years and I just HAD to share it. It's pretty hilarious.



Dearest Reese


If only I had the chance to be with you, my life would finally be complete. My love for someone has never been this deep before .From the moment I saw you amidst the crowd, I knew that you were my one eternal love. You are the one true teeny bopper of my life. The way you held your poster and sand along to my love ballads...my lips were caught on every word. Mmm Bop I love you Reese. I canÕt wait to begin our life together in Tulsa. Where love flourishes as does the corn K. For you my sweet our penthouse in New York will be our paradise. A symbol of how love will never die no matter where we are. I dream of the day when we will co-star in a steamy romance. I have watched you from a distance and admired your black licorice hair laced with rays of sunshine. With your sexy ReeseÕs peanut butter shirt and my Hanson paraphanalia we are a match made in heaven. Britney and Christina long to braid my wild untamed mane. But how could I ever let that jeopardize a kiss with you. I am ever so flattered that you bought my picture to remember me by in New York. You know I was watching you, I have been for a long time. Your TRL appearance gave me that one glance to show my friends my beautiful love. You are my every wish come true, my darling, my one and only you.


Happy ValentineÕs Day!

OMG. This is when I found out the truth about Wilmington (That it's one of the most haunted cities in the U.S. I didn't sleep that night)

Sasha Jackson and a random dog...Lol.

Touring makes me tired, and through my short touring career I’ve discovered my skill of being able to sleep anywhere. I mean…ANYWHERE. Unbeknownst to me, my sleeping skills were being documented by various people traveling with me, so I'm sharing them with you. Some of them make me laugh…..especially the most unflattering ones. Lol. Don't judge. No one looks flattering when they sleep.
P.S. The one with the Bible by my head has a story behind it...
The Story: I went to Wilmington, NC to see the set of One Tree Hill, visit some friends and play a show. I quickly learned the Wilmington is one of the most haunted towns in the U.S. They have "Ghost Walks" and people have hair-raising stories about things they've heard/seen. I am horrified of ghosts-no joke. I can't watch "The Ring", I can't do the whole campfire ghost story thing...I scares the crap out of me. So we left Wilmington and went straight to an OLD hotel in New York. I knew it had to be haunted... so I asked the bell hop if it was haunted and he says "Oh yes....I mean...just kidding" when he saw my face. He told me though that if I slept with a Bible by my head I would be safe. I waited until everyone was asleep and took the Bible out of the nightstand. Before everyone woke up, I put it back in the drawer. I thought no one saw it but OF COURSE someone had a camera phone.
