I've seen plenty of people blacked up as various people for fancy dress and every single time it was for a cheap laugh / bit of attention through being "hehe controversial!" and nothing to do with liking or admiring the person they were dressed up as. Show me someone who claims to have blacked up as a celebrity as a mark of respect for that celebrity, and I'll show you an idiot or a liar.

I don't know anyone that's claimed to black up...I know plenty who have or would pop a bit make up on to complete the look of thier musical icon though.
