The embarrassment continues...Amy Winehouse was nominated for 6 Grammy Awards which include best song, best album and best record of the year. And now, she is cannot perform live because she was denied a US visa. This must have been a great big disappointment as well as an embarrassment for her but I hope she will use this experience as a way to motivate herself to get clean and sober very quickly. Sometimes disappointment could pose as a major setback for those who are in rehabilitation.
I have to agree with the views of JB and Konquererz. I don't think her voice is enough to encourage me to buy her CD. It appears as if she is just talking her way through the song and not really singing. I think people are attracted to her because of her lyrics; for being a rebel and the way she looks: she resembles Morticia from the Addams family.
Well, she got her visa after all but because of time she will not be able to make it to the US:

"Unfortunately, due to the logistics involved and timing complications, Amy will not be coming to the U.S. this weekend to perform at the Grammys in Los Angeles, however she will still be performing via satellite broadcast from London as previously announced this morning," her U.S. rep says in a statement.... |
