Lady GaGa has admitted that she finds Amy Winehouse fascinating.

The popstar, whose single 'Just Dance' reached the top of the UK charts on Sunday, said that Winehouse's unstable life and inconsistent live performances add to her appeal.

She told The Sun: "Amy is a real artist. I get frustrated when I tour so much that my voice is messed up.

"But I always say to myself that I watch performances from Amy where I swear she didn't hit a note, and she was shot and shot deep on something, but I can't take my eyes off that beautiful girl. There's something about her that's so honest.

"That was what the '70s and '80s were about, and what women were about then, and that's why legends were created. It wasn't about manicures."
