On one the most dreadful Grammy shows ever in every way ( what with all the by-the-numbers performances and lack of awards given out on tv) Amy Winehouse's performance was easily the most compelling of the night. Only Kanye's performance was close. The rest of the show was a full blown example of the downfall of the music industry.

I have her record and don't love it, it's not my thing. I could not understand the media fascination with her. But on that stage, she showed something all those Idol wannabes are missing. The "IT" factor. She's got it, whatever it is. It isn't just voice, just song selection, just tattoos, just the beehive, the too real drug crap. She can perform. I'm not sure she could carry an arena stage, but she would be a hell of a lot of fun to see in a club.

I'd rather watch that than a tired retread of Natalie Cole's duet with her father, or of Tina singing the same 3 songs she's played on tv for over 25 years, or a time warped version of the Time reprising their one semi-hit from 1984.
