Amy's Dad Says No, No, No To Grammy Awards


Does the headline look as stupid as it felt when I wrote it? I think every blog and gossip site has used that damn sentence in some way or another to talk about Amy Winehouse and each one of those times I thought it was stupid. But like I said, I'm a sheep.

Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch. You know. The big guy. Drives a taxi, make s Amy dress up and show him some bra when they go out. Ok, maybe showing the bra is her idea. Anyway, Mitch doesn't think Amy should go to the Grammy Awards because they are too soon.

Mitch told the Mirror, "I'm not sure the Grammys are going to happen. I don't want her to go - I think it might be a bit too soon for her.

"She's not well - that's why she's in rehab. But she's doing OK. She is getting good treatment."

As much as Amy appears to respect her dad, she obviously doesn't always listen. I wouldn't put it pass the record company to have someone in rehab with her reminding her everyday that she needs to go to the Grammy Awards and to make an appearance and sell all those bunches and bunches of records that follow a Grammy appearance. This is of course why the record company in their press release about Amy and rehab made such a big deal about the Grammy Awards.

As much as it may surprise you, a bunch of people have never heard of Amy Winehouse and even though she can't get paid to be on the Grammy's because that would be work, you can bet your ass, that if she is at the Grammy's, she isn't just going to be sitting in the audience passing the crack pipe.

I think she should stay, and I'm grateful for Mitch for talking to the Mirror because I was missing Amy and her ratty hair but am glad she is getting help. Below are videos of my favorite song from each of her first two albums.

    Frank is such a great album. I listen to both her albums every day when I'm practicing my range.

    tracee, be sure you do. Its just as good if not better than Back to Black but with a jazz/R&B feel instead of Motown. Very well done. Not a song I dont love on the CD.

  8. Both Back To Black and Frank are such brilliant albums. Love the track 'Amy, Amy, Amy' on Frank. I do hope she gets cleaned up - she's got too much talent to waste...

  9. Fuck Me Pumps is my favorite from Frank, but while I love Tears Dry on Their Own, I think Wake Up Alone has to be my fav from Back to Black.

    Get well Amy, I need at least 2 more albums out of you before you kill yourself.
