Amy Winehouse Finally Granted Visa, But Too Late for Grammys
British singer Amy Winehouse was finally granted a visa to enter the United States, but a little too little, too late to perform at the Grammys on Sunday. The embattled singer has been her own worst enemy of late with stints in rehab (like her song) and caught on video snorting illegal unmentionables.
Nominated for six Grammys for her acclaimed “Back to Black” album, Winehouse will instead perform via satellite link from a London studio. Now, the question is will this crack performer crack under the pressure?
Many will be watching the Grammys to see if Amy goes all Britney on us or if she holds it together for just one night as she is sure to get several awards bestowed upon her. Perhaps being denied a visa will be the best thing to have happened to Winehouse so that she won’t be caught up in the Hollywood buzz and parties and will be able to focus on the task at hand, which is entertaining all her fans with a stellar performance.
So, besides Winehouse, who else will wow the crowds with a big night at the Grammys? I’m predicting Kanye West, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood and the Foo Fighters will have a big night. I’d also like to see Taylor Swift squeak in there if Amy Winehouse doesn’t get a sweep.
Only a week ago or so ago no one knew if the writer’s strike would take Grammy down for good or not. But, the show must go on and this time Amy Winehouse will be playing to a full house of the kind she’s never seen before. And, most likely she’ll be celebrating mightily across the pond, when its all said and done.
