I get Lady Gaga was trying to say something nice but it would be like someone saying condolences to Michael Jackson but calling him a great 'rapper'. Or like calling Gaga an R n B singer because maybe 3 of her songs have that feel.

Amy Winehouse was a soul singer, it was the genre she loved and committed to and that should be respected. Don't call her something she wasn't. Gaga is a pop singer, that's her genre, it was not Amy's.
