No losses are easy. Some are damn hard.

As we remember those who left us in the last year, here's a special look back at the people who changed our pop-culture world or made us see it differently. And maybe even did both.

But she would be great."

So is one music icon about to portray another? Hold on, little monsters, because this rumor is...

Maybe it's the beehive, maybe it's the heavily winged black eyeliner, maybe it's the angle of the shot, but if we didn't know better, we'd swear she was channeling the late singer—and doing a fine job of it.
