She was super butch looking

What a lovely thing to say about the recently deceased superstar.

Its a shame the bereaved family cant hear you , I'm sure they'd take comfort from your kind warm hearted words

Not sure what's so cringey. She's a tall middle-aged jaded broad in a denim jacket, leather skirt, and high heels singing in a raspy voice a new-wave blues tune about how she doesn't care about love because she's seen some shit. It's definitely not like she's trying to be a dainty flower.

There was something strangely sexy about her, despite what you describe as her 'super butch' stage persona.

She was much more demure and coquettish in interviews, but on stage, she swaggered much like Mick Jagger (who she personally taught how to move), although that isn't a criticism. I get the impression she was one of the best artists to see live. Suffice to say, she had real stage presence.
