Amy Winehouse: American Vogue Covergirl

Amy Winehouse will appear as the cover star on the American version of Vogue magazine next month, according to reports.

It?s understood that Winehouse was personally invited to be the cover girl by the magazines editor, Anna Wintour - who was impressed by Winehouse?s second album, ?Back To Black.?

"Anna loved Amy's album so much that she just had to have her" a source told the Daily Mirror.

 "But at the end of the day, it's not just about the music, it's about her rawness, kooky style and her outspoekenness."

The singer took part in a photo shoot with the photographer Bruce Weber for the cover in Miami, Florida last month, while she was in the country on promotional duties.

"Wintour was instantly delighted with the outcome and thought Amy oozed cool."

"Americans have embraced Amy with their heart. She's completly different to most of the vacuous, conveyor-belt pop stars that are churned out. There's nobody quite like her."
