Maybe this is a little random, but I was thinking about this today. It feels wrong for me to sing along because her songs are deeply personal and unique to her; they’re about her experiences. No hate if any of you sing along, though. Just my thoughts.

Personally I sing along to every song word for word, but I understand why you wouldn't want to. Something regarding Amy that I don't like or do is to watch or support tribute bands. It's one thing to get on a stage and sing an Amy song but to dress like her and try to be her is weird and disrepectful imo. Some go as far as acting drunk, tripping, etc. It just sits the wrong way with me.

i sing along word for word but i can understand why you wouldn't want to. especially when some songs i can relate to or feel in that exact moment. in fact, i believe amy is the only artist who's songs i take extremely personal so much that i don't like anybody covering her songs. however, singing along to them as a well known amy fan i don't mind. i hated that tears dry on their own & me & mr. jones was a trend on tiktok & i would immediately scroll because nobody understands the song(s) for real & it's not their fault but because i don't play when it comes to amy, it physically makes me sick lol.

i hate her tribute bands lol. it's just so weird to dress/act like her because it cannot be replicated. it feels like watching the shit biopic. i genuinely didn't know there we're people who impersonate amy drunk/tripping??? that's so weird. it rubs me the wrong way like people who dress up as her for halloween & i have yet to see someone actually do her justice. what makes it worse is that even in death, babygirl cannot get the respect she so greatly deserves on earth.

the tiktok thing is so real like yeah ik Amy is already known, especially in the UK but it's like she was my own thing that I discovered all by myself lol

Same I was never “put on” to Amy. I think finding an artist for yourself is way more special than someone saying “go listen to this artist”.

You're so right about the tribute bands, I really hate them. It always feels like rape to me.
As for her songs: no, I don't sing them. Firstly, I have a terrible voice and I don't want to inflict that on those around me. Secondly, Amy's songs are Amy's songs for me.
And they're just not songs to sing along to; there's too much tragedy in her voice. And besides, I want to hear Amy's voice - not my squawking. :D  :D
