For the brief time that we had her, Amy Winehouse wowed the world with her unique vocal abilities and painfully honest song lyrics. As fellow Brit-born siren Adele so eloquently put it, "It came easy to her and that's why we all loved her so much. We believed every word she wrote, and it would sink in deep when she sang them."

Stars continue to pour their hearts out with praise for their lost friend and inspiration -- from Katy Perry's reflections, to Lady Gaga's words of wisdom, to M.I.A.'s song dedication, Tony Bennett's mourning and more -- and fans are bringing Winehouse's second and last album 'Back to Black' back to the top of the charts.

In honor of Amy's unfortunate and untimely passing, we're paying tribute to her unique talent with a compilation of our favorite of the songstress' music videos.


'Stronger Than Me'
2003

A fresh-faced Amy tells it like it is to the "lady boys" out there who haven't quite evolved to keep up with the 21st-century woman; a strong and independent type, who still wants her man to wear the pants in the relationship. "Don't you know you supposed to be the man, Not pale in comparison to who you think I am," Winehouse asks.

'In My Bed'
2004

Over a sample of rapper Nas's 2003 hit single 'Made You Look,' Amy shares her thoughts on the difference between sex and love. In her signature sultry way she sings, "Now it's not hard to understand/ Why we just speak at night/ The only time I hold your hand/ Is to get the angle right."

'F--- Me Pumps'
2004

If you're a club-going gal who "can't sit down right, cause your jeans are too tight" and whose "dream in life, is to be a footballers wife," then this one's for you! "So dust off your f--- me pumps."

'Love Is a Losing Game'
2007

Simple, beautiful, painful and honest all at once, Amy's somber song will make you think twice before letting yourself fall in love again.

'Back to Black'
2007

The title track off Winehouse's second and final album, the song was co-written by Mark Ronson, who produced much of the album. The dark diva spells out heartbreak like only she knows how.

'Just Friends'
2007

Amy's alcoholism and its affect on her personal relationships is addressed in this Salaam Remi-produced track. "It's never safe for us not even in the evening/ 'Cause I've been drinking," Amy reveals.

'Tears Dry on Their Own'
2007

Winehouse's second highest charting single, behind 'Rehab,' 'Tears Dry on Their Own' is perfectly in line with the 'Back to Black' album theme of elegantly expressed doom and gloom.

'You Know I'm No Good'
2007

Amy's confession that her own self-destructive ways are to blame for her unhappy relationships. "I cheated myself/ Like I knew I would/ I told you I was trouble/ You know that I'm no good," a self-aware Amy warned.

'Rehab'

Winehouse's biggest chart-topper, 'Rehab' went on to earn her three Grammy Awards in 2008, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Infamously autobiographical, Winehouse put her refusal to get treatment for her drug and alcohol addictions out there for the world. "He said 'I just think you're depressed'/ This me, 'Yeah baby, and the rest'/ They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'No, no, no'."
