Amy Wins Two Grammys

Amy Winehouse was one of the early winners at the Grammy awards.

The jazz star, whose personal life is in turmoil, picked up best pop vocal album for Back To Black and best female pop vocal before the televised part of the ceremony began.

24-year-old Amy was due to attend the 50th annual US awards, recognising the cream of the music industry, but visa problems last week meant she ad to perform via satellite from a British studio.

Kanye West, another early winner, took best rap solo performance for Stronger, best rap song for Good Life and best rap performance by a duo or group for his collaboration with Common on Southside.
