Much of this authenticity can be attributed to her honesty, passion and sense of humour. It was evident from the start of Amy's career that she was not afraid to show her true self. ]]> 2022-10-11 10:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2335018686 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2335043430 Amy first appeared on TV performing 'Stronger Than Me' on the Jools Holland show one month after 'Frank' was released.

Amy had recently left rehab as an outpatient with this being the opening night of her 12-day European 'comeback' tour. Amy appears drunk and in a delirious state. It seems as though she was forced to go on stage and her poor performance has since been analysed as a cry for help. However, at the time, she was heavily criticized with many fans feeling angry and disappointed. ]]> 2022-10-11 17:58:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2335763349 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337405167 This article demonstrates how prominent Amy's marriage with Blake was in the construction of her star image. She dedicated many of her songs to him and was often seen as being overtly affectionate, proclaiming her love etc. The fact Amy didn't hide her feelings and was always true about how she felt contributed to her authenticity. ]]> 2022-10-12 17:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337405167 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337421838 Amy met Blake Fielder-Civil after she released the album 'Frank'. Blake left Amy for his ex just 6 months into their relationship. This initial heartbreak has been said to have intensified Amy's alcoholism, however, she channelled much of this emotion into writing her Grammy award-winning album 'Back to Black'. The couple's on-and-off relationship was a huge part of Amy's star image as the pair were seen as inseparable. ]]> 2022-10-12 17:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337421838 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337490778 2022-10-12 18:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337490778 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337504424 2022-10-12 18:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337504424 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337512216 2022-10-12 18:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2337512216 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2343954367 This interview asks Winehouse personal questions in a bid to understand the 'real' Amy. Her answers are revealing and highlight how she just wanted to be loved where she compares the feeling of love to a 'drug'. Winehouse is very open about her issues and even calls herself  'self-destructive' and an 'alcoholic'.  It is obvious that Amy never tried to hide the fact she had issues with addiction, making it intrinsic to her image.

She secured 5 Grammy's including: Record of the Year, Pop Vocal Album of the Year, Female Pop Performance of the Year, Song of the Year, and New Artist of the Year. 
This demonstrates how even though Amy was struggling in other ways, her musicianship was still well respected and admired.

At only 20 Amy was recognised as showing huge promise. With jazz, HipHop and RnB influences, her husky voice, heartfelt lyrics and fresh originality caught the attention of the music industry. 
The 'Frank' album, although not commanding the same level of success as her later album 'Back to Black', began to shape Amy's star image as a rare and talented artist. The album received several accolades including the Ivor Novella award.

This was a pivotal moment in Amy's music career, plunging her into immense stardom and under the spotlight.
The album explores many themes such as love, heartbreak, guilt and substance abuse and the complex emotions intertwined in these experiences. Amy's image develops into that of a 'troubled star' who uses music as escapism and a way to process emotions.

It is clear to any listener that they are heartfelt and meaningful, contributing to her authentic persona.
This is exemplified through the song Rehab: 'I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine they try to make me go to Rehab but I wont go go go' - When quite literally it was advised that Amy should go to rehab, which was later revoked by her father.]]> 2022-10-22 17:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2351797659 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2351827018 An intrinsic part of Amy's identity and star image was her style and fashion choices.

It has been noted how ruthlessly the paparazzi followed her, even waiting outside her Camden home. The singer's addiction to drugs and alcohol proved to be the most common theme they fixated on. Images of Amy under the influence were circled far and wide often making the front covers of news stories.

The pair were co-dependent on each other through their mutual addiction to drugs and alcohol. Blake is known to be the one to have introduced Amy to class-A drugs such as heroin and cocaine. They were frequently followed by paparazzi after arguments and drug binges, a way to scrutinise the couple.

Meanwhile, Amy's music career continued to take off, but her drug and alcohol addiction worsened. Amy spent time in rehab, and on Blake's release, he filed for a divorce over adultery, claims Amy didn't contest. We see the destabilisation of Winhouse's star image from wife to divorcee.

In this video, we see an authentic Amy, someone who is nervous to perform alongside one of her idols, Tony Bennett. It is fascinating to see how despite Amy's success and musical achievements she still at times lacked confidence in her abilities, contributing to a sense of authenticity. She is shown as a respected fellow artist who has an innate talent for music, not a 'junkie' or 'raging alcoholic'.

Her honest and authentic image led many fans to view her as a friend, making her death a significant and traumatic moment. ]]> 2022-11-04 13:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370078098 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370107473 2022-11-04 13:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370107473 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370122309 2022-11-04 13:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370122309 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370122566 2022-11-04 13:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2370122566 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373101987 Report features guests Jools Holland and one of Amy's backing vocalist Zalon Thompson. The guests pay tribute to Amy as a friend and artist. When prompted to talk about her struggles with addiction, Jools veers away from the topic stating 'I'd rather focus on remembering the greatness about her'. This further exemplifies how Amy's star image has been glorified since her death, with many attempting to move past her issues with addiction, contrasting to the fixation on this topic when she was alive.  ]]> 2022-11-07 13:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373101987 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373139374 Since her death, Amy has been included as a member of the '27 club' a list of famous musicians who died at the age of 27 with similar causes of death associated with substance abuse. Amidst other legends such as Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Jimmi Hendrix, Amy's star image is now associated with this group of individuals who are recognised as musical greats gone well before their time. Arguably, by being a part of this cultural 'club' which has been well discussed in the media, Amy's legacy has become even more prominent and legendary. ]]> 2022-11-07 14:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373139374 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373199230 The Amy Winehouse Foundation is a charity which helps those struggling with addiction, supports recovery homes for women, provides music therapy to children and more. This highlights how Amy's star image since her death has evolved into that of a figure who still contributes to society with her past experiences and acting as valuable life lessons to help others. ]]> 2022-11-07 14:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373199230 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373201651 2022-11-07 14:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2373201651 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379360123 2022-11-10 22:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379360123 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379392616 This chapter comments on how a star possesses different identities and how their image can change and shift, which is evident throughout Amy's life. ]]> 2022-11-10 23:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379392616 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379395085 This chapter explores celebrity as a 'commodity 'and how the nature of the industry they are in is a key factor in shaping the star image. This can be seen in Amy's career where gossip from the tabloids affects the perceptions of the public thus impacting her star image. ]]> 2022-11-10 23:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379395085 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379397196 This article explores the construction of Winehouse's star images and various personas in detail, with regular reference to the 2015 documentary 'Amy' created by Asif Kapadia.]]> 2022-11-10 23:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379397196 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379398185 This chapter explores a post-feminist perspective, examining the role and characteristics of female stars in film.

This is prominent in Amy's career where she is constantly analysed through her personal relationships. ]]> 2022-11-10 23:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379398185 hssmill7 https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379404247 It is important to acknowledge how Amy's relationship with her father also contributed to her star image. From this picture, we see how Amy loved her father and looked up to him. Mitch was very influential in Amy's life and was the key decision-maker throughout moments in her career. Since her death, he has been accused of pushing Amy too far when she needed a break, subsequently perpetuating her 'failing star' image. ]]> 2022-11-10 23:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hssmill7/9cdtqhfr4tgnk9vk/wish/2379404247
