Winehouse acceptance speech not so strange
February 11th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in News
If, like me, you just couldn’t bring yourself to watch last night’s Grammy Awards broadcast — I was at Skipper’s watching Dr. Ralph Stanley perform — you’re probably aware by now that “Hancock [Stole] Grammy Album of Year.”
You might have also heard that tabloid-fave Amy Winehouse gave a whacked-out acceptance speech after winning for record of the year. Watching it on YouTube, she clearly appears shocked but I wouldn’t call her behavior strange. The British soul singer — after being mauled by bandmates — thanks mum, incarcerated hubby Blake and gives props to London. Sounds pretty normal to me.

Thanks for giving my girl a fair shake. I thought the same thing. And is it just me or does she look a little meatier??

She does. Still needs some more meat on her bones but def an improvement. Finally got around to listening to her debut album “Frank” (they re-released its stateside and I reviewed it for an upcoming issue). More jazzy and not as brilliant lyrically as “Back to Black” but it’s still a great listen, with the song “Fuck Me Bumps” ranking as my fave.

Ha! “Fuck Me Pumps.” Right. Um, yeah, Freudian…
