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.
Well deserved! I am so happy she won more awards (and bigger awards) than they cry baby Kanye West who’s big hit single this year was just a shitty rap track laid over a depeche mode song that was better on its own.
@100- The best artist out there today? Are you serious?
Why???
How???
Why and how did Amy “Crackhouse” win Grammy awards???
She sounds like a cat getting run over by a lawn mower!!!
When she started being in the international headlines for being so freaky, I had no desire to look her up to see what she sounded like, because she grossed me out.
But after reading this stub in my reader, I thought I’d check her out, especially since her recent pics have looked better (for her, she’s still a freaky goth/praying mantis, but maybe she’ll stay relatively sober enough to put on another 20-30 pounds).
Her voice does seem to be pleasant enough for the types of songs she performed in that clip, but to me the songs were just plain weird and ugly despite her voice. I was expecting her to do armpit farts at any time.
I wonder if I could fuck her without breaking her in half? Of course that might be kinda hot if she did… I bet she cries real good.
Well, I don’t understand what’s wrong with Amy
is she ugly? and so what? the most of you are
is she a drug addict? so what, the most of you are
you americans, moralistic morons!!!!!
#107 – I have verifiable proof that nearly all of the assinine comments on this thread were written by Brits and Canuckians… the well thought out, funny, and insightful commentary was 100% American made.
True story.
I am very curious. . I have seen her photo on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named searchingmillionaire.com. what is she looking for t here?.
I like her, I have her CD but she is not very original. She’s strange, like a cover artist with original songs. I’ve heard this sound before. from the 1950s… its retro and a fad but its not grammy winning.
wait yes it is the grammys are all about money and pandering.
At least she did not have the cracked out glassy eyed f*cked up look to her…however, her body still looks like it belongs to a junkie.
