Amy Winehouse is a bit of a mess so couldn’t go to the Grammy Awards. So, to compensate, she performed for the ceremonials, live, by a link-up with one of those satellite things. Crazy. Anyway, to reward her efforts, she promptly went and won loads of awards… five, to be precise.
The soulstress bagged three awards for ‘Rehab’: Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Female Pop Vocal Performance, as well as taking home the prize for Pop Vocal Album for the Back To Black LP and the prestigious Best New Artist Grammy. Even though I’m a massive snob, it really is a cracking album worthy of the attention. Some other people won awards as well… if you’re interested, read over.

So, who else won? Kanye West got himself four awards, Bruce Springsteen collected three and getting two awards each, Justin Timberlake, Mary J Blige and Carrie Underwood. Carrie who? Has anyone heard of her? Have I had my head in a bucket for the past coupla years? From these shores, Mark Ronson got himself the Producer of the Year prize and The Chemical Brothers won the Electronic/Dance Album gong for We Are The Night. A spike in sales all round then!
