So a lot people look up to Amy Lee as a role model......do people think this is a good thing or not?

Personally I think that, unlike many popular artists, she is a great role model for young people as she is a strong woman with loads of talent and has class and principles.
I don't have any kids (hope not anyway lol) but if I did I would be delighted if they looked up to Amy

Better Amy then Britney Spears!!

Yeah i think she is, she doesn't sell her looks too much, she doesn't appear to do drugs, she hasn't had scandalous affairs, she doesn't have kids from 3 different blokes, she's not suing everyone, she doesn't get drunk all the time, she's not in rehab

Nearly all celebrities do nearly all the things i've listed above

yes!! she doesn't have to take her clothes off to sell her album, she doesn't have to be like a stick to be in a magazine...

Of course she is.
She is the best :)lol.

She respects herself and knows what she wants
she works hard to acheive her goals
she dosent sell her body or strip
she is real

I think you have to be a very determined person if you are a woman in the music industry and you don't want to go down the road of basically selling your body. I'm sure Amy's been pushed by record companies etc to do this but she's always says she wouldn't.
Speaking from a male point of view, that makes her far sexier than the girls who appear basically half naked in their videos And also means that she is selling records due to her musical talent and not because she has flashed everything in a video

Funny question,,,I believe she is a very good role model and I believe i see it from a differing point of view than most people on this board...that of a father. I see a woman who knows what she wants and how to achieve those goals without selling herself cheap; one who uses her God given talents and artistry to the fullest extent; one who is confident and mature but has not given up her inner child; one that, as a father, would be proud to be watching from the wings at the way she has managed her life. I see it, of course, only in her interviews which are an infinitesimally small part of Amy's life so, my judgment is also just a "feeling" that I get when I see her. Amy also reminds me of my oldest daughter in some ways and I consider my daughter to be a very positive role model so, that could be a source of prejudice for me but, I look around at other women in her field and, considering the heights of popularity Amy has achieved she has remained grounded and level headed and true , in comparison so...a very, very good role model indeed - one of the rare ones!

Thanks!

ew, that Winehouse girl is scary!

Hehe - my mum once got mixed up between the Amy's I like. When Winehouse was in the paper she said "Steve, isn't that the girl you like".....at which point I started throwing things at her

i'd say that's an appropriate reaction

I'll say that it depends on how old the person is
If it's a seven year old girl(or boy )who are fan of evanescence..
it's not that good Haha, I see it. A seven year old girl with a guitar, black eyeshadow around her eyes, and with lot of hairspray in her hair.

But on older girls and boys it effects in a positive way. That band makes you wanna be your self and be orginal! Well, Amy is a good role model for me

Well...

I think if someone wants to be a strong woman like Amy, a real individual, that's great. More power to ya.

But I have seen, especially around the time of Fallen's release, a ton of Amy clones. This, to me, is sad. At concerts, people will dress in actual Amy Lee-mock costumes and do their hair exactly like her. Um, ugh. Amy is one-of-a-kind; there is nothing attractive about a hundred different "Amy's" walking around doing the same thing.

Just my opinion.

amy is the best i respect her is every way, she is a good role model in many ways, as a sister as a wife as a lead singer and as a human being i just love her
