Is Amy Winehouse a gay icon?

Fuck no. Her first album Frank is filled with transphobic lyrics, claiming that a weak man is a "ladyboy". Fucking bitch.

I never paid attention while she was alive. Post-mortem, I was like "OMG, she is fantastic" a shame really.

Like most people, I only paid attention to her when it was a bit too late and she was on the way out. This thread, however, will soon be filled with people saying how they loved her before she had ever even sung a note.

No, she's just a dead addict--albeit one with a great voice. I just don't think she was around long enough to become an icon--just a hot, talented mess.

She destroyed herself. In the documentary they made, after she wins the Grammys in 2008 she tells her friend "Fuck me, this is so boring without drugs." She was an ungrateful, entitled, selfish little bitch who happened to be an incredibly gifted artist. Just because I admire her talent doesn't mean I admire the woman. She didn't take care of that gift.

That's quite sad

I think of her more of an impressionist than an original artist.

If she had a great voice, it was as a lyricist, not as a singer. Her voice was effective on the record (Back to Black), but she was a stylist.

R9 I've been to awards, and awards are boring, even to the recipient.

She was too good for all of you.

Alas she didn’t live long enough to cement her spot as an icon
