Not sure if I totally agree with the decision to give her 5. I mean she had one hit. One. Her album was ookay, nothing spectacular.

Not to mention she's not exactly a role model...

She's a huge talent,her voice,it's hypnotic. I love her sound and think she'll mature into a stunning performer if she can overcome her issues.

How can this be a good thing? One hit? She's a role model (whether she wants to be or not) and she can't even function ...

What are we telling the young?

What we're telling them is that we can admire and respect somebody's talent while at the same time be angered and saddened by their addiction fueled behaviors.

The newest pics of her,while she's still emaciated are hopeful,she actually looks happy,hopefully she'll continue with treatment.

If the B-Sharps can win a Grammy then anyone can.

Baby on board, how I've adored
That sign on my car's window pane
The bounce in my step, loaded with pep
'Cause I'm driving in the carpool lane
Call me a square, friend I don't care
That little yellow sign can be ignored
I'm telling you its mighty nice each trip's a trip to paradise

Well at least the recent wave of popstars haven't been caught on camera smoking crack, acting like a loon, boyfriend going to prison...etc etc..

SHe is no more talented then the next girl.

The only things she has going for her are her drug and alcohol abuse, her bad taste in fashion, and the media.

Its sensationalism at its worst.

And her one hit was mediocre at best.

If we were being angered and saddened by their addiction fueled behavior then we would seek to punish them in some sort of way or at least show them that they won't be rewarded if they keep acting inappropriately.

I think Britney Spears' album was actually way better than Amy Winehouse's album "pop" wise. And, Britney wasn't even nominated (i don't think). She sold a ton of records too.

Amy accepted her grammy's.... in London.. she got her Visa but too late to make it over here in time to accept.. she's been let know that her antics aren't approved of.

If she hopes to cross over and make it big here she'd better get clean and stay that way.

I'm sorry but I have empathy for people ..I don't believe that anybody intentially sets out to ruin their lives and destroy their families via addiction,treatment works and I hope Amy sticks with it.Too many dead young people from this crap.

She went.

While saying nooo noooo noooo ...

Anyways, there's a lot of people out there who are insanely better than her ... not sure why she won 5 for 1 fuckin song that really wasn't impressive.

But on the same note, half her fame and notarity has been gained from the antics. So which came first? The popularity or the drugs?

She gets a visa even though she doesn't use it, try that as a joe nobody on drugs.

We want to hang Roger Clemens for drugs

We send our top female track star Marion Jones to jail for lying about drug use.

Get caught with a joint in your car during a police stop go to jail

Get caught with drugs during a test on the high school football team goodbye team and hopes of getting into college football

Get caught during a surprise test during work goodbye job

Etc. etc

Have a youtube video of you smoking crack, tell the world off in one of your songs about rehab and you get five grammies.

Something just isn't right here.

She is unbelievably disgusting. Snorting cocaine on stage is a great performance?

She didn't deserve a single one of those Grammy awards.

I personnally think she is the worst new artist of the year. She is an absolute cokehead freak and has a terrible voice. I was discussing this with my coworker this morning and told him if he kicked me in the crotch I would probably sound better than she does.

That is my own opinion of course.
