Amy Scoops Up Five Grammy's
7:34 Monday, February 11, 2008
Amy Winehouse was the big winner at the 50th Grammy Awards last night. As she scooped up a total of 5 trophies, she dedicated her gongs to her locked-up husband Blake Fielder Civil and Camden Town.
The star lost out on the prized Album of The Year, which was given to Herbie Hancock for his album 'River: The Joni Letters.' But elsewhere the 24-year-old artist swept the board in her categories picking up Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Song of the Year and two awards during the pre-broadcast presentation, in the categories of best pop vocal album for "Back to Black" and best female pop vocal.
Winehouse was unable to attend the event but appeared via a live satellite link from London with electrifying performances of her hits 'Rehab' and 'I'm no Good.' Beehive Amy gave her first acceptance speech of the evening as she collected the award for Record of The Year for 'Rehab.' She said:
"This is to my mum and dad - for my Blake incarcerated. And to London, this is for London because you can't burn down Camden Town"
Winehouse was unable to pickup her awards in person after failing to secure a work visa to travel to the United States until late Friday. By that stage, it was too late to change her plans. Instead she performed in front of a small crowd at a London recording studio.

I wonder how much heroin that will buy after they hit the pawn shop?
She wasn't saying, "you can't burn down, Camden Town" She said "Camden Town aint burning down/Camden Town are burning down"
Sick, she should have not have won or ever nominated for music. DO NOT BUY HER RECORDS/CDS
Mark shut our mouth or I will make you do it.
Billy is right, Amy Winehorse deserved NONE of those awards. She was stoned when she was performing, I thought it was a total insult to the grammies to even have her performing, she was so f'd up...what a loser.
People should quit buying her records and maybe they will save her life.
I am sure the people who nominated her were like...why? why did we do it...she is likely going to be dead in a year. She is a complete moron and if I were English I would not be proud of this ass.
Maria, you shut your mouth too. I'm sick and tired of all you haters. Amy Winehouse deserved ALL of her grammys and her performance was ok, considered that it has been a while since her last performance and she is not used to performe sober. Which she was.
