Amy Winehouse scored five Grammys last night: Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Song of the Year for “Rehab,” Best Vocal Album and Best Pop Vocal Performance. She accepted the award live via satellite from London. Her visa request was denied but then accepted at the last minute. Amy chose to perform closer to home. Us Magazine reports:
After accepting her award, an emotional Winehouse, who was joined on stage by her dad and mom, thanked her parents, record label and “incarcerated Blake” — her husband, who has been behind bars since last last year.
“I can’t believe I’ve won 5 awards. It’s a shame I couldn’t be there to accept the awards but I’m so proud and happy that I had the opportunity to perform for the Grammys in my hometown of London with my family and friends around me,” she said. “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” .
Amy Winehouse’s performance (video after the jump) was surprisingly lucid. Much like Britney Spears it seems Amy is getting her ducks in a row. With the two of them on the top of their game, Britney and Amy should put their heads together and form a brain trust. They could find a cure for cancer. I mean, once they’re done putting test tubes on all their fingers and trying to eat a lab monkey.

my comment | February 11, 2008 at 10:55 am
She’s talented. Something unusual these days.
I hope she pulls herself together.
Ript1&0 | February 11, 2008 at 10:58 am
And/or trying to make a crack pipe out of a beaker. Get the bunson burner, Britney!!!
No idea what a bunson burner is, really. But they’ll find a way to smoke crack out of it I’m sure.
noneyobeezwax | February 11, 2008 at 10:59 am
i wonder how many crack rocks it would take for her to give those grammys up?
Rick | February 11, 2008 at 11:08 am
lmao@all the continued hating. Amy needs to have a baby and then die, so that all you bitterly jealous losers can go soft and moan “oooooh, the poor baby! And Heath was the most talented singer of his generation! I mean Amy!” And attack anybody who criticizes her. You are as predictable as you are pathetic, the very definition of loser.
Jenny | February 11, 2008 at 11:10 am
When she tries to look sexy and seductive it makes me vomit. RIP keyboard. We had a good run.
Madeline | February 11, 2008 at 11:11 am
Wait, isn’t her hair short and blonde now? What’s going on here?
deaconjones | February 11, 2008 at 11:11 am
blah blah blah blahblah
IKE | February 11, 2008 at 11:13 am
She seemed sincerely shocked and happy when they announced that she won.
I’m glad that she’s (HOPEFULLY) heading the right direction now. She’s a great talent.
Spazz | February 11, 2008 at 11:13 am
I dont know her music but cant get past her being the most fucked up and frightening thing i have ever seen before.
LL | February 11, 2008 at 11:14 am
She deserved it (as much as anyone “deserves” a Grammy). That beehive hairdo and that fucked up eye makeup still makes her look like a loon, but she can sing. I think it’s hilarious that she won with a song titled “Rehab.” Maybe Britney should make a song titled “Not Acting Like a Lunatic,” and she could win the Most Ironic Grammy Award of 2009.
Jen | February 11, 2008 at 11:15 am
Am I the only one who thinks she still looks wasted !?
She made the creepiest, weird faces while she was singing her first song…ad danced like a drunk retard in the second.
wtf?
spaz | February 11, 2008 at 11:16 am
rick needs some midol.
Mick | February 11, 2008 at 11:19 am
I really don’t understand how anyone can think she has talent. She sounds, looks, and acts like a drag queen.
I'm going to be nice | February 11, 2008 at 11:21 am
I’m glad to see she made it through the song without shooting up or falling down. I’ve always appreciated her music because for christs sakes is something that sounds different for a change! Still freaky looking, but oh well.
Jesus Tap Dancing Christ | February 11, 2008 at 11:22 am
Hey! Lab monkey is delicious.
Jen | February 11, 2008 at 11:23 am
another thing..
What’s the fucking deal with so many people claiming that Britney(flewoverthecookoosnest) is finally getting her shit together? Perez just said it and now Fish?
I just her pic on TMZ and she looks like $5.00 crack whore….in ripped fishnets, no pants, skank red panties OVER her fishnets, no bra, her usual dirty blue shirt was on inside-out and backwards…her “hair” was pulled back extreme exposing her nASSty weave (that I’m sure an rodent dwells in)…and she was back to “puffing’ smoke into her disgusting mouth.
oh dear… did I forget to mention the fucking BOOTS again!?
Oh..and that daddy has apparently confiscated her pink wig!?
Give me a fucking break. Britney is as batshit as ever.
Pay attention peeples!
syn13 | February 11, 2008 at 11:24 am
I like Amy’s music a lot, but her performance last night was abysmal. People need to stop patting her on the back and congratulating her for not puking on herself while on stage.
TheJoker | February 11, 2008 at 11:25 am
Many props to Ms. Winehouse. That little crackhead can sing.
Mimi | February 11, 2008 at 11:27 am
Praying for Amy and Britney.
What wonders our God can do!
Andrea | February 11, 2008 at 11:28 am
syn13 that’s exactly what they should do, at this point in time. If she can stay off drugs, eventually it’ll be time to up the ante, but compared to how low she was just a few weeks ago, she’s doing well. Decent human beings understand this.
havoc | February 11, 2008 at 11:30 am
Congratulations Amy!!
You deserve it!!
Goddamn she’s ugly…….
.
Gerald_Tarrant | February 11, 2008 at 11:31 am
Amy sucks. You could barely make out what she was saying, let alone singing. She sucked last night and she will continue to keep sucking because everyone coddles her stoned ass. If I ever decide to go and commit crimes, I am moving to England, apparently they don’t lock you up for shit there.
Cop: Excuse me Miss Winehouse, terribly sorry to bother you.
Amy: Awww, whatttufukkkkk yu want???
Cop: You dropped this crackpipe and have a trail of heroin coming from your handbag.
Amy: Awww, whatttufukkkkk yu want???
Cop: That’s all ma’am. We just wanted you to know you were losing your drugs.
mensa | February 11, 2008 at 11:31 am
pwns?
Mandy | February 11, 2008 at 11:34 am
Awwww, poor lil Gerald! I feel so bad for you. You got all growed up and nobody’s treating you like Mommy did! Wah Wah Wah Waaaaaaaah!
djfred | February 11, 2008 at 11:36 am
Trying to lump Amy and Britney together isn’t going to work as I’ll bet Amy has at least 40 IQ points on her and is infinitely more talented.
Gerald_Tarrant | February 11, 2008 at 11:41 am
Mandy, are you really Amy? Your comment made about as much sense as Amy did last night.
Wino should have been nominated for one award, biggest fucking trainwreck of the year. Up against, BritBrit (they could fight over who is more British), Jamie Lynn Spears, LiLo, Paris Herpes.
The only shock of the night is that they gave Herbie Hancock album of the year, not Winehouse. I felt like it was some sort of sympathy intervention.
Awww, poor Amy, if we give you all these awards that you don’t deserve will you try to get off the crack?
Fox News Watcher | February 11, 2008 at 11:44 am
I can’t believe people keep praising and supporting this DRUG FELON. It’s yet another sign of the decay of world culture. I blame Africa, and you all know exactly what I’m talking about.
Here’s a song worth listening to, written by a true American, Mr. John David Ashcroft (no jew in that name!). It’s called “Let the Eagle Soar” and there’s a clip of him singing it at the godless jew-tube site:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woLQI8X2R6Y
Let the eagle soar,
Like she’s never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
‘Only god, no other kings.’
This country’s far too young to die.
We’ve still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through.
Jesus Tap Dancing Christ | February 11, 2008 at 11:44 am
#26 So Amy has an IQ of 40. That’s still pretty dumb.
Anal Fistula | February 11, 2008 at 11:44 am
she must have stayed clean for a few days prior to this…she actually looks less like a scary transvestite in these pics than i am accustomed to…
syn13 | February 11, 2008 at 11:46 am
#21 – That’s sweet, Andrea. Does anyone know if there is an emoticon for “rolling my eyes”?
viceless wonder | February 11, 2008 at 11:47 am
I can’t believe this freakshow drug addict cleaned out at the Grammy’s. Why do people want to reward a fucking train wreck like thi? She’s the worst possible example of a person who deserves NO RECOGNITION. Perhaps she has talent but, she also has a sickening destructive addiction which she fucking refuses to take responsibility for. Role model shmole model but, people DO emulate her and follow her example because she is in the public eye. Apparently she also has finally gotten a Visa, many people were fighting to keep her out but, I guess the massive lack of standards won out in the end. “Send the refugee who will surely be killed back to their war torn country where there is no such thing as human rights, because we have to make room for a sick, selfish, lying, waste of skin, druggie here in the land of the free”. FUCK THIS BULLSHIT. This woman is the biggest fucking coward on the planet.
Gerald_Tarrant | February 11, 2008 at 11:48 am
#28 – I’m quite familiar with that song. The song – and the man – deserve awards, not degenerates like Amy Auschwitz.
Sid | February 11, 2008 at 11:50 am
#32 – so, obviously you’ve bought your guns. Have you picked out the elementary school yet?
Ted from LA | February 11, 2008 at 11:51 am
“This woman is the biggest fucking coward on the planet”
No, anonymous internet ranters are the biggest cowards, everybody knows that.
This girl has talent and I respect that. I don’t begrudge her these awards.
Kim | February 11, 2008 at 11:54 am
Her music SUCKS! It’s like listening to an old warped record.
panty magnet | February 11, 2008 at 11:58 am
No I’m going to have to agree with #32.
#35. That make you a coward too. So you are a bigger fuckup than this drug addicted whore? Now that’s sad.
aeuwave | February 11, 2008 at 11:59 am
i honestly do not think she’s that great. however, hopefully these awards will let her know she needs to get better and stop being a fuck up. unless, again, she feels she is being rewarded for being a fuck up…… hmm….
Homer S. | February 11, 2008 at 11:59 am
@32 — Your ideas intrigue me. I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter (or is it just “Soldier of Fortune”?).
D. Richards (Chef.) | February 11, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I gotta say, Amy Winehouse has great stage prescence. In fact, her singing is almost overshadowed by her stage prescence — it’s that good. The whole performance was very natural and she was barely even trying. She was great, has much talent, and I was very impressed. She deserved to win her Grammies. Unlike some people (Kanye).
Dick says: Amy’s still a junky whore though.
Jim | February 11, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I agree with #32 also. This FUCKING WORLD FUCKING SUCKS! People are fucking useless, all of them. There will be a day – FUCKING TRUST ME – when you’ll all have to pay. All you liberal druggie homosexual faggots sucking each other’s cocks while sticking your finger up a boy’s ass – THE DAY IS COMING, MY FRIEND, WHEN YOU WILL BE TORN LIMB FROM LIMB AND YOUR SEVERED HEAD WILL BE PARADED AROUND IN FRONT OF YOUR FAMILY. So enjoy your fun now, because the good, just, moral, GOD-FEARING people are sick and tired of your fucking existence. THANK GOD THE SECOND AMENDMENT GIVE US THE SOLUTION.
Rossco | February 11, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I could make out about… five words in that whole performance. Apparently when a British cokehead wench sings it turns out sounding like someone with down syndrome trying to do a Diana Ross impersonation.
nipolian | February 11, 2008 at 12:10 pm
#28 – You have me all confused…….What does AW’s drug addictions have to do with Africa….. and by using anit-semitc rants you are promoting a Jewish singer’s song?!? WTF
Matthew | February 11, 2008 at 12:10 pm
LMAO @ 41!!!
Finally we hear directly from the retarded inner child of the typical Superficial commenter.
The Light | February 11, 2008 at 12:10 pm
The mindless lemmings in entertainment all crawl over each other to be more understanding and more righteous for the current underdog hero staying true against the man. Wienhouse sucks. I’ve seen hundreds of better performers in NYC. She’s just the brain addled flavor of the moment.
nipolian | February 11, 2008 at 12:17 pm
#41 – Sorry to point out the obvious but you have contradicted yourself (just slightly):
People are fucking useless, all of them.
and
So enjoy your fun now, because the good, just, moral, GOD-FEARING people are sick and tired of your fucking existence.
So……are the good, just, moral, GOD-FEARING people useless also?
RichPort | February 11, 2008 at 12:18 pm
#32 and 37 – It’s people like you that expect others to parent your children, and be good “role models”. So having substance abuse issues and being borderline looney disquaifies you for any adoration at all? This ain’t Major League Baseball and there are no drug tests… many musicians are fucked up and still produce incredible material (Hendrix, Bob Marley, The Beatles… etc…). I’m not gonna tell my son to do what they do, but sometimes their addictions can provide a small window of understanding for the things that afflict unaddicted people. Here’s a thought: teach your kids right from wrong, don’t leave that to Amy Winohouse to do. Anything else is in fact cowadice. I remember when Charles Barkley had a commercial that opened “I am not a role model. Parents are role models.” Listen to Eminem’s “Just Like Me” if you want o outsource your parental responsibilities. If you think for one minute the musicians you do deem worthy of awards are all clean and sober, then I’d love to get a clip of the 2008 Polka Awards you just gushed over.
Morons.
The Truth And You Know It | February 11, 2008 at 12:20 pm
“Wienhouse”
The flavor of the hate is antisemitism. It always is, on an Amy WINEhouse thread.
Gerald_Tarrant | February 11, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Woohoo @ 33, I finally got my very own troll. Thank you for this award. I really never expected to win a Trolly, but if you follow your dreams and keep posting, eventually someone will award you. You like me, you really like me.
nipolian | February 11, 2008 at 12:26 pm
#47 – Well said! Except the part about the Polka players……It is a well known fact that they are solely responsible for the Meth epidemic that America is facing today. Damn those tweeking Polka players.
