I think she was on drugs or drunk last night during her performance. i don't think she deserved a grammy for her music!

my DH and I were watching it with friends and everyone thought she was high or drunk,too. plus I don't think she is that talented at all

Re: amy winehouse???? can't believe she got it

While Amy Winehouse is a troubled star, her talent is amazing. I only listened to her album once before and I thought her performance last night was incredible. She's a natural - she belted out those two songs with no effort at all. Her music does deserve those awards.

I don't think her style of music is targeting the younger audience anyway. I think I would be much more concerned about the lifestyle of Brittany and Jamie-Lynn Spears, who do have a younger following, and what kind of role-models they areChat Icon

Re: amy winehouse???? can't believe she got it

If you don't want to give Amy Winehouse awards for her talent just because of a problem she has in her personal life that is made public because of our sick need to hunt down these people, than I guess we should rip away all of the awards given to people in the past who may or may not had problems that were, let's be honest, none of our damn business, but sang about killing their girlfriends (Eminem), b!tches, blunts and 40s (Jay-Z), rape (Nirvana)....

If they didn't give awards to people who do drugs or are drunks they would have no one to give awards to. Sure they're not all obvious crackheads like Amy Winehouse, but just because you can hide your drug or alcohol problem doesn't mean you don't have one.



Exactly! It's the Grammy Awards, not the Moral Awards. I was actually glad she won.

I think this is a perfect example of how people's opinions vary.. I think she sounds awesome! Her voice/sound is so different.. and a good different if you ask me...

Like others stated, the grammys are about their musical ability, not their personal downfalls....

Re: amy winehouse???? can't believe she got it

i watched her performance last night thinking that even with all of the drugs she's on, her voice is amazing

i thought it was an awesome performance. the dancing was a little awkward, but the vocals were spot on

I just wanted to say, when did this country came to this, when did we start giving Grammy's to drug addicts and drunks and to a singer who sings about not wanting to go to rehab??? She is a singer of the year??? WHAT???? I don't care how good she is as a singer, she should not be getting a grammy, I mean C'mon, she was denied the visa to come to the US. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, b/c I know many people like her, just had to get it out of my sistemChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



The whole point of the Grammys is their talent as a singer, not who writes the most politically correct song. And how is her song any different than when the Beatles, Clapton, the Stones, etc. sang about getting high?



To be fair I think there is a difference between crack smoking(in public no less) than a few joints

It's not based on her as a person. It's based on her as a singer.

You can't deny she's got a good voice and it was a huge hit.

I am not a fan of hers. But honestly, She is not the only artist to get a grammy and be a drug addict. Not to mention how many artist (even in the 60's-70's) sang about drugs.

There is, BUT, neither one has to do with rewarding her music.

Honestly, they're all trainwrecks- some just hide it better than others.

And, i'm sure that, for other artists, it didn't jsut stop at a few joints. Still, none of this has to do with the criteria for good music.

Honestly, I tend to think that most musicians/actors/writers do partake in some sort of drug/alchol use. Some of the greatest musicians, writers, poets of all times have done their greatest work under the influence.

So I don't see how you can NOT give someone an award for music, based on a drug history. What do you do? Make all the nominees take a drug test?

I don't believe she was caught smoking crack in public, I think the vids of her doing it was in her own home.

I don't think she deserved Grammy for her music, she is not that good at all, and she looks scary and acts scary.

I think her album Back to Black is awesome. I love every song on it-- I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

Well, after listening to Foo Fighters... who totally s*uck live BTW and Amy singing live at the Grammy's, I have an even more admiration for her talent. The girl can sing. Not a voice/music just "fixed" on album or video.
