In an almost clean sweep, Amy Winehouse won five Grammys last night: Record of the Year, Best New Artist, Song of the Year for “Rehab,” Best Vocal Album and Best Pop Vocal Performance.  Winehouse was nominated for six.  Winehouse accepted her awards and performed via satellite from London.  Winehouse may not have been in attendance at the Grammys, but the night was definitely hers.

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 honour to be here. Thank you very, very much.”

And, referring to this weekend’s blaze that ravaged Camden Market and one of her favourite haunts, The Hawley Arms pub, she pipped:

“…And for London. This is for London because Camden Town is burning down.”

The singer performed You Know I’m No Good and Rehab in front of a small audience at the Riverside Studios in London for the watching millions.
