In Case You Missed It
Check out Amy Winehouse’s Grammy performance live via satellite from London.
People are saying she was loaded — I disagree. I mean, she may not be stone cold sober here, but she’s not trashed. She seems unsure of herself, almost like she’s uncomfortable being this damn sober on the stage.
Amy took home five Grammys last night, including the Best New Artist title.

she seems very sober - and since most of her live performances are totally indecipherable, this is actually a pretty incredible one! Good for her.

She has that “IT” factor. It’s a special gift from God. I hope she doesn’t destroy “IT”.

agreed, she was fabulous, if maybe not her full level of fabulousness. she didn’t even cry about her blakey.

People who say she was smashed,
clearly are unfamiliar with amy’s performance when she IS.

I agree with Abbi! She wasn’t drooling or slurring her words which has happened in the past, unfortunately!

Definately agreed. Great performance. She was NOT smash! She was VERY sober. She was nervous because she wasn’t hopped up on the ski blacky. She was alert, aware and AWESOME! Keep on track Amy…don’t let the haters get to you!

First time I’ve seen her perform. Does she always sing out of the side of her mouth? Sometimes it sounds a bit like a Tracy Morgan singing a cover of this song…

Great performance! She seemed sober enough. As for the dancing, it looked a little bit like the Detox Shimmy, which is all the rage these days.

Amy rocks. Uhh, I meant the good way. Ahem…

I love her and she was fabulous! she looked very nervous and scared - and I am so happy for her numerous Grammy awards! Go Amy!

She was sober and she was awesome. She did look uncomfortable at times but I think that’s because she’s not used to performing without “medicating” away her nerves AND she’s flippin’ detoxing!!! Geeze, after watching Jeff Conaway on Celebrity Rehab I was impressed she could even stand up and remember all her lyrics. She looked so excited when she won that last grammy, I was really happy for her. We totally busted a gut when she referred to her hubby as “Blake, incarcerated”. Priceless!

Amy does not have to dance. The brothers are holding it down!!!

As someone who has seen her perform when she is off her face, she looks refreshingly coherent in this performance..Hopefully she can clean up her life and not end up a train wreck…
Im also hoping she gets clean for personal reasons as my HB2 wont let me have one of her songs at our wedding unless she gets clean haha..so im rooting for the girl!

Thank you E-Dub! She was awesome wasn’t she..she is so adorable. I busted a gut when she was about to start her speech and she did her famous “Uhhh…” LOL. And check the begining of her performance, right before she starts singing, she looks up at the camera zooming on her and says “What!” kind of like to say “Yeah Im here, I rock, I’m sobering up, watch me BITCHES”

February 11th, 2008 at 3:16 pm

i was super impressed by her performance. she’s looking A LOT healthier here than she has in a while. it was cute that she was so nervous when she accepted her award!
February 11th, 2008 at 7:27 pm

February 11th, 2008 at 11:19 pm

i saw her in concert and she was equally awkward. from everything i’ve heard, she’s just not a great perform…really awkward and bland…she looked just the same as when i saw her last spring
