Amy Winehouse/YMMV

"Simon: You want us all to sit here while you drink yourself to death? This is not a popquiz anymore, this is an intervention. [...] We used to be close, what happened?
 * Crack Pairing: In her short career, Amy only did four duets (that we know of as of 2011). So it's very jarring to know that Duet #4 is with none other than an artist over three times her age, and outlived her entire life. Ladies and gentlemen, [[http://www.411mania.com/music/news/198710/
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Her entire discography.
 * "Fuck Me Pumps" even gets people who don't like her usual music dancing.
 * Covered Up: "Valerie" was originally a song by The Zutons.
 * Some people actually think that it's the other way round.
 * Even Better Sequel: While Frank did receive notable acclaim, including winning an Ivor Novello award, Back to Black is the best selling album in the united kingdom of the entire 21st century.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: When Amy Winehouse was a guest on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, some of the jokes told by Simon Amstell were this.

Amy: She's dead. Let it go, Simon."

"You don't like players
 * GIFT: Some of the reactions to her death reek of this.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: "They tried to make me go to rehab; I said no, no, no". At first it was harsh due to her continued drug and alcohol problems after the song became a hit, then she died...
 * Also, every joke that has been made about her being an unkempt drug addict.
 * Some of her sadder not waking up unhappy with life songs turned to this for her fans after she died.
 * Never Live It Down: Back to Black was a highly acclaimed, multi-platinum album that launched her career into the stratosphere but, unfortunately, her addictions and other troubles overshadowed almost all of her success and talent.
 * No Such Thing As Bad Publicity: While not a bad album per se, Back To Black might not have sold so well if it weren't for her highly publicized drug addiction.
 * Painful Rhyme: Amy rhymes 'players', 'say' and 'millionaire' in "Fuck Me Pumps", with millionaire pronounced 'millio-naya' to fit:

That's what you say-a

But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire"


 * Sequel Displacement: Won Best New Artist although she already had a best-selling album in Britain beforehand. Back to Black is her second album.
 * Tear Jerker: Her death, obviously. Seeing the reactions from her close friends (such as Lily Allen and Mark Ronson) on Twitter really makes it more gut-wrenching.
 * Russel Brand wrote a really thoughtful article about her, her issues and her affect on culture.
 * Yoko Oh No: In a rare male example, Blake Fielder-Civil got a lot of this during his off-again-on-again relationship with her.
 * The Woobie. She battled with depression, self harm, anorexia, bullimia and addictions to alcohol and drugs throughout much of her young life before sadly passing away at the age of only 27.
 * Only to be endlessly and ruthlessly ridiculed by the media until after she was gone, even being ranked top five in a poll for most hated celebrity woman, along with Heather Mills.
