Well done Amy Winehouse!

Anyway, call us impertinent, but Amy's gong-grabbing wasn't the highlight of this year's Grammys. The best moment came, we reckon, when she got up to sing. Could the Southgate soul siren show those LA big-wigs why she deserved five of their oh-so prestigious statuettes? In the light of recent events, it seemed nigh on impossible.
Because she'd been refused a US visa, her renditions of 'You Know I'm No Good' and 'Rehab' had to be beamed in from London via satellite, but this didn't dampen her enthusiasm. Passionate, defiant and, yes, a little wobbly in places, Amy Winehouse suddenly looked like a singer again. In fact, for a brief moment - when she sang "I'd rather be at home with Blake" on the first verse of 'Rehab' - she seemed like an era-defining popstar.
For that, more than the gongs, we salute her.
What did you think of Amy Winehouse's Grammy performance? Does she deserve all those awards? Just hit the usual button to let us know.
