LMAO!! 5 years ago, hahaha!
And the thing even more amazing is that AMY is going to get even BIGGER in the upcoming years/decades.
It may not seem like that now but the icons/ legends that pass away prematurely that have a solid fan base always end up becoming huge icons.
Even after AMY died you still have people saying that they do not think she will be remembered that much decades from now.
But people said the same thing about Hendrix.
Hendrix was pretty much in the same position as Amy and ended up releasing 3 albums within 3 to 4 years.
Even after he died, i dont think people knew that he would still be considered huge as he is today. They might have said the same thing they are saying about Amy......that they would be remembered for like the rest of the decade but then forgotten.
JFK was pretty much known worldwide from 61-63 only and I do not think that anyone alive at the time said to themselves that this Marilyn Monroe would be well-known 100 years from now.
That is why i find it hilarious when people act like an artist like Amy who did not even have a 10 year career(but almost had one) is suddenly going to be forgotten.
Like i said it is going to happen LITTLE BY LITTLE
I mean how many times a day, week, month,etc have ALL OF YOU GUYS been on youtube and seen the insane amount of people covering songs by Amy.
Do these naysayers think that is the sign of a musician that is going to be forgotten.
Its little by little
All the people on youtube giving their own versions Amy's songs by making covers of them
All of the unique graffiti scattered across London that capture Amy's look
The recent fashion show
Her clothing line
Talk of there being a statue in London that is dedicated to Amy's memory
etc etc etc
ANd it hasn't even been a year yet...........
Imagine what 5 years will be like.
