oh my gosh - i'm thrilled that my amy winehouse walked off with five grammy awards tonight - but i'm super bummed she lost out for 'album of the year' to herbie hancock - ugh! i don't have anything against mr. hancock but amy totally deserved to win - back to black is one tight album - i still love it so much! thankfully she managed to perform via satellite from london - and she was awesome - totally clean & sober (the video is posted below) i was so glad to see her embracing her estranged mother janice when she won for 'song of the year' for her hit song rehab - i pray she's finally back on the right track - i can't wait until she kicks off another tour here in the states!
overall the grammys were fairly decent - by the end i was growing a little restless but there were a few great moments including when beyonce took the stage with tina turner - they both kicked some ass on 'proud mary'! for a full list of winners - head over to grammys.com!
on a personal note i'm feeling much better than before - i had the worst hangover from last night - i did have a lot of fun but today was just plain awful! i did manage to snap some pics & video of both robyn and ashlee simpson which i'll be posting later on in the week! i can't believe the weekend is close to being over - the thought of going to work tomorrow is killing me! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
yea! go amy!
I really hope this will be a huge motivation to her to continue to stay sober and do well in her life. FIVE GRAMMYS. That's sooo spectacular.
I'm also really happy to see that she received them even with her personal issues - I know a few people speculated that the judges would overlook the music in lieu of the rest, which is completely against the idea of the awards in the first place. But sometimes it can be difficult to separate the person from the work.
anyway.
go amy!

Seriously, if she can get five grammys on crack (or, okay, whatever it is that she has been doing lately) I can't wait to see what she can do with some recovery under her belt. (not just sober, because early sobriety or white-knuckling it is nooooot a good recipe for awesome music-making.)
