EU-Britsh Amy Winehouse Song of the Year winner refused visa to US to attend Grammys
On Sunday British soul singer Amy Winehouse won the Song of the Year prize at the 50th annual Grammy Awards Sunday in Los Angeles for her single "Rehab." Amy Winehouse, the British singer with the fantastic voice, yet tumultuous, drug-riddled life, will not be attending the Grammys this year, in-spite of her 5 nominations.
Winehouse, who led the evening's ceremony with four major awards, beat the songwriters behind "Before he Cheats," sung by Carrie Underwood, "Hey There Delilah," sung by the Plain White T's, "Like a Star" sung and written by Corinne Bailey Rae, and "Umbrella" performed by Rihanna. Winehouse, who was not at the ceremony to pick up the award personally, was originally due to perform live at the show but was denied a US visa last week. By the time US authorities approved her visa on Friday, her publicist said it was too late for the 24-year-old singer to travel to Los Angeles.
Note EU-Digest: another example of the hypocritical US foreign policy measures by the Bush Administration.
