Amy Winehouse “Cleans Up” At The Grammy’s

Whatever about trying to clean her act up in the real world, in the music world Amy Winehouse has “still got it”, a fact proven by her five awards collected at the 50th annual Grammy Awards last night.

Due to her stint in rehab in the UK, she couldn’t attend the event but still managed a live-via-satellite performance after collecting gongs for Record Of The Year (Rehab), Song Of The Year (Rehab), Best New Arists, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album (Back To Black). Producer Mark Ronson also picked up Producer Of The Year (non classical) for his work with Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen.

The Grammy’s covered releases between October 1st 2006 and the end of September 2007.

Other winners on the night included Herbie Hancock who scooped album of the year for his “River: The Joni Letters”. The musical tribute to Joni Mitchell hadn’t even broken the 50,000 sales mark in the US. You’d be used to seeing it from the likes of the Choice Music prize considering the album was up against Kanye West’s ‘Graduation’, the Foo Fighters ‘Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace’ and Amy Winehouse’ ‘Back To Black’.

Justin Timberlake took Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for ‘What Goes Around…Comes Around’, the Chemical Brothers took Best Electronic / Dance for ‘We Are The Night’ while the Beastie Boys grabbed Best Instrumental album for ‘The Mixup’.
