I know there were some comparison to Janis Joplin, as oblique as it was, and that's appropriate. Like Janis, Amy was an enigmatic personality on the fringe of superstardom, and that personality has more than anything to do with why she was lionized.
Fucking this. She was a decent singer, but her only album was more remarkable for its promise than anything particularly stand out. It doesn't really hold up the same way Thriller holds up.
