Is amy winehouse gay
Few people know that Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie” is a cover, so there are several hypotheses out there for why she sang a kind of bluesy, hella bouncy affection song to someone named Valerie: Valerie is a man’s name in the UK. Winehouse was bisexual. It was about a buddy who stopped talking to her because of her drug addiction.
But no one actually knew (real talk; even Genius is clueless). Until now.
The song was originally written and performed by the Zutons, a British band. Valerie Celebrity, a celebrity make-up artist living in New York, told VICE that she used to hang out the band’s frontman, Dave McCabe, and that the lyric is about her.

Unfortunately, the tragic death of Amy Winehouse has been an opportunity for a litany of jokes, the most cliché of which rapidly comes to mind: “guess she should have gone to rehab.” Ms. Winehouse was open about her bisexuality and was not only a club favorite at many queer dance spaces, her queer fandom was expansive across the Internet and evidenced by her regular appearance on mix CDs from one young gay kid to another. Her death is a tragedy on many levels.
While I find the jokes and snide comments about Amy Winehouse’s death to be insensitive and offensive I also realize that we do not understand how to talk about death, especially death related to addiction. Our culture thrives on the epic ups and downs of our media stars. Daily blogs, entertainment magazines and show after show revolve around the lives of people we convince ourselves we know and have authentic investment in. Personally, I hold not simply fallen into this trap, I dove in head-first and can often tell you what my favorite celebri
