Did you see Amy Winehouse on the Grammy Awards Show last night? Wow!! She sang live from London, providing a great sense of the power and appeal of her music. Rolling Stone may have had the best quote on her when it noted in its end of the year issue that her hit song "Rehab" at some point went from clever and funny to just sad. Maybe, but it's still a great song, and its even better live with the addition of the fantastic dance moves by her black male back-up singers. She also sang "You Know I'm No Good," another great song of hers. The rest of the album is no slouch either. It's definitely a retro sound, grounded firmly in a variety of soul expressions, but there are few who can do it as well as Amy Winehouse. This is one of the best albums of 2007, and she is well worth the awards that it picked up last night.
