Amy Winehouse inspired Lady Gaga

Of course she did... This girl really did pave the way for woman in the industry who had a strange but real element to them. 

Here’s what she told AOL back in 2009 (via Hollyscoop):  

"I will always have a very deep love for Amy Winehouse. Because of Amy, very strange girls like me go to prom with very good-looking guys. She’s a different kind of woman I don’t believe that what I do is very digestible, and somehow Amy was the flu for pop music. And everybody got a little bit of the flu and got over it, and fell in love with Amy Winehouse. And now, when more flu comes along, it’s not so unbearable.”

RIP Amy Winehouse
