What's going on guys, I'm Bridget Daly for ClevverMusic. Well, Amy Winehouse fans everywhere are reeling over a twitpic taken by Keri Hilson and a friend last night. The photo shows Keri with a girl who happens to have black hair, large doorknocker earrings on, and thick black eyeliner. She wrote, *gasp* Amy Winehouse resurrected to party w/ me!!! (seriously, uncanny resemblance). While we can't deny the girl with her is definitely going for Amy's signature look, it probably wasn't the best timing. And now fans are speaking out about the tweet, calling it insensitive, disrespectful and immature.

Keri eventually responded to the criticism, saying, "Come on, I mean no harm. All due respect. But really the resemblance freaked me out. This was simply the best tribute ever." She also added, "I apologize 2 anyone who might've taken it the wrong way. As a fan, I thought it was cool that she dressed up to honor Amy. I had no ill intent, but I understand how it appears insensitive...my bad twitterville." Well, at least she apologized, and Keri doesn't seem like the type to try and stir the pot for no reason. That's the deal with Twitter—once it's out in the universe, there's no turning back! Weigh in below with what you think about Keri's twitpic. Was it too soon?

wow, it's not even that bad

[TheTrinity848]

Well SOMEONE wanted some attention.

[QueenLioness84]

Oh how petty! I'm an Amy appreciator and I don't find this to be offensive or disrespectful at all. The girl does have an uncanny resemblance to the late Miss Winehouse. That was the point behind Kerri's statement. People, please, go fetch a brain and have a seat.

ATTENTION!!!!!! i hate everyone.

[pjmgame]

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!!! Michael Savage called Amy a junkie because the news of her death took his spotlight. It saddens me how someone could be so sick.

all ima say is this. i know their are some keri fans.. but there are just some things that u dont do. Even though it wasnt that bad to some people, its still rude and insensitive. even though im not a huge amy whinehouse fan, i still think it was wrong. I think Keri just like getting attention. #jus my opnion
