Amy Winehouse rules Grammys
p2pnet news | Music:- The refusal by US immigration authorities to grant UK singer Amy Winehouse a visa meant she couldn’t be at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in person, last night.
But she made it anyway.
And according to Times Online, she ruled, “winning a total of five gongs, including Record of the Year for Rehab, which chronicles the drug addiction that has repeatedly threatened to destroy her life and career”.
She, “still managed to deliver a defiant performance of Rehab and You Know I’m No Good via live-broadcast from London, where she played in front of a small cabaret audience,”ays the story,
“She wore a short black dress and her trademark beehive.”
Winehouse also won Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album – the latter for Back to Black, the album from which Rehab was taken.
“To my mom and dad, for my Blake, my Blake incarcerated,” shouted Winehouse, referring to her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is in London’s Pentonville Prison, after a pub brawl.
And, “Referring to this weekend’s blaze which devastated Camden Market and The Hawley Arms pub – a favourite of the troubled singer – she went on: ‘And for London, this is for London, because Camden Town is burning down’.”
Adds Times Online:
“Last night’s Grammys awards also saw an unlikely triumph for Barack Obama, the presidential candidate, who beat two former US presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, when he won in the category for Best Spoken Word Album, for the audio version of his book, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.”

What a great example she serves to the youth of the world. While it’s not celebrities’ resposnsibility to serve a rolemodels for everyone it’s more than a little sad that we’re encouraging someone to go public and celebrate the fact that they’ve turned down rehab and are a glorified crack whore.

Even though she may be a crack whore, it is a catchy little number! Sounds like it could’ve been recorded in the 60’s!
