History YMMV / AmyWinehouse

%%** "Rehab", "Back to Black" and "You Know I'm No Good", her {{Signature Song}}s.

* DirectorDisplacement: "Valerie" was recorded for Creator/MarkRonson's album with Amy credited as a guest but the song is usually viewed as solely hers.

** "Rehab", "Back to Black" and "You Know I'm No Good", her {{Signature Song}}s.

** When Amy Winehouse was a guest on ''Series/NevermindTheBuzzcocks'', some of the jokes told by Simon Amstell were this.

** "Rehab," her SignatureSong.

** ''Biography'' notes the similarities don't end there, as [[https://www.biography.com/news/amy-winehouse-ronnie-spector-similarities there are many parallels]] to their lives off of the stage as well. Both started their careers as teenagers, both had short, turbulent, abusive marriages[[note]]Though Spector was entirely the victim while Winehouse was to some extent the abuser[[/note]] and both were alcoholics. While Spector was able to overcome her alcoholism, Winehouse's drinking ultimately killed her.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

* HarsherInHindsight: "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 [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14262237 she died]]...

** The music video of "Back to Black", which is about a ''funeral''. Said funeral is ''to her heart''. And even the end slate (which has since been removed in later releases of the music video) has the words "R.I.P. the Heart of Amy Winehouse. ''Brr.''

** Also, every joke that has been made about her being an unkempt drug addict. Doubles as a FunnyAneurysmMoment.

* NeverLiveItDown: Though now averted in the face of DeadArtistsAreBetter, she was infamous for a while for her performance at a concert for Nelson Mandela's birthday where she decided to sing "Free Blakey My Fella". At the time, he was in jail for assaulting somebody.
** While it's now been averted due to her passing, the topic of her publicized drug and drinking problem are still recurring.
* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: While not a bad album by any means, ''Back To Black'' might not have sold so well if it weren't for her highly publicized drug addiction.
* SignatureSong: "Rehab," easily the most famous of her songs.

** The music video of "Back to Black", which is about a ''funeral''. Said funeral is ''to her heart''. And even the end slate (which has since been removed in later releases of the music video) has the words "Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse's Heart". ''Brr.''

* NeverLiveItDown: Though now averted in the face of DeadArtistsAreBetter, she was infamous for a while for her performance at a concert for Nelson Mandela's birthday where she decided to sing "Free [[YokoOhNo Blakey]] My Fella". At the time, he was in jail for assaulting somebody.

* YokoOhNo: In a rare male example, Blake Fielder-Civil got a ''lot'' of this during his off-again-on-again relationship with her. Even [[{{Film/Amy2015}} the documentary on her life]] gets in on it, characterizing him as a ToxicFriendInfluence who indirectly caused her death.

* PainfulRhyme: Amy rhymes 'players', 'say' and 'millionaire' in "Fuck Me Pumps", with millionaire pronounced 'millio-naya' to fit:
--> You don't like players\\
That's what you say-a\\
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire

** When Amy Winehouse was a guest on Series/NevermindTheBuzzcocks, some of the jokes told by Simon Amstell were this.

* SignatureSong: "Rehab," easily the most famous of her songs.
* TearJerker: Songs such as "Love is a Losing Game" and "Back to Black," which have just been made worse by her untimely passing.
** Russell Brand wrote a [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/jul/24/russell-brand-amy-winehouse-woman really thoughtful article]] about her, her issues and her affect on culture.

* AwesomeMusic:

* TheWoobie: She basically is this in recent memory. She started off basically starting a revival of British music once again, but her drug and drinking problems ended up making her the press's next Britney Spears and just ''wouldn't leave her alone''. The myriad of jokes and mocks about her problems didn't help matters (well.. [[Music/BackToBlack it kinda did...]]) but it eventually just lead to her tragic death at the age of 27, making her fears of joining the "27 club" too and finally making people stop mocking her and realize what it lead to.
