Amy Winehouse...????

69.139.62.200

I've seen her perform on TV twice. Both times, especially the Grammys, she looked and sounded like one of those American Idol "Auditions From Hell".
She cannot sing on pitch to save her soul (if she has one) and she sounds like a reject from Laverne & Shirley. I do not get her appeal other than her druggy/bad girl persona. And her as Billie Holiday? As she sings in "Rehab", Nooo..no.no.

The Grammys have been going downhill faster than the Oscars. If she is the best of the best (save for Herbie), American pop is in a sad state.

Can someone 'splain Ms. Winehouse, please?
