Amy Winehouse wins five grammys

She may not have been in attendance, but there was no doubt the 2008 Grammys belonged to Amy Winehouse.

The singer, whose personal life is in turmoil, pipped Kanye West by one gong, winning a staggering five out of six awards. She was close to making it a clean sweep but missed out on scooping Album of the Year to little known jazz veteran Herbie Hancock.

After receiving her fifth award, ironically Record of the Year for hit single Rehab, an emotional Amy looked stunned and stared straight ahead for several seconds as the television feed cut to her in the London studio.

She then hugged her mum, Janice and thanked her parents before giving a message to her husband via a satellite link-up.

“To my mum and dad, for my Blake, my Blake incarcerated, Thank you very much, it’s an honor to be here. Thank you very, very much.”
