Empire fans are begging Rumer Willis to put out an album after she channeled Amy Winehouse in a stellar vocal performance on the show.
The 28-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, who honed her skills as a cabaret performer before starring in Chicago on Broadway, sang Crazy, Crazy For You, backed by other cast members, on Wednesday night's episode.
Rumer - who plays a talented musician battling addiction in the gritty show - wore a slinky white dress and had her raven tresses curled into a style reminiscent of the troubled London-born star for the performance.

The music-centric show revolves around a family competition to become a hip-hop music mogul's successor at Empire Entertainment.
The fictional production company is the backdrop for a series addressing drug use, family dynamics and love, which frequently features A-list guest appearances.
Rumer joined the show for the latest season as Tory Ash, who joins one of the hip-hop mogul sons, Jamal, in rehab.
She portrays an addiction-riddled singer whose entire look on the show appears to parallel the life of Amy Winehouse in many ways.

And after Rumer's soulful, powerful performance on Wednesday night's show - where she looks and sounds the spitting image of the tragic British star - thrilled fans are clamouring for an album.
Putting their opinion squarely in the public domain, one wrote on Twitter : 'Wait can Rumer Willis really sing?! If so, give the people an album!!! For the culture. #Empire'
She was immediately backed up by other enthusiasts, who made comments including 'so, when is Rumer Willis putting out an album?' and 'Rumer Willis needs to come out with some music..im totally feeling her voice'.
While other Empire fans appeared to be stunned by Rumer's echoing of Amy, commenting: 'So is Amy Winehouse just living in Rumer Willis' throat?? #Empire'

The triple threat actress - who also won the Mirrorball trophy on Season 20 of Dancing With the Stars - may well comply.
And the choice for Rumer to play a character reminiscent of the London-born star, who changed the course of the music landscape in the mid to late noughties, was no coincidence.
According to Romper, the talent's co-star Jules Smollett (Jamal) even discovered Rumer after seeing a video of her singing an Amy Winehouse song on Instagram.

The same day her acclaimed performance aired across America, Rumer shared an inspirational message with her 600,000 followers on Instagram.
Posting a picture of herself grinning easily as a child, the star wrote: 'This girl isn't afraid of anything, she loves with her whole heart and doesn't apologize for being a nerd or following the beat of her own drum.
