No, sorry, this is wrong. What message are we sending when someone with this many drug and alcohol problems is able to get 5 awards - is this really the kind of person we should be looking up to? If you heard her acceptance speach then you have to admit she was high. There should be a rule - you can only receive major awards if you are a decent and upstanding person, an example to us all.

Well I've heard and watched it several times and find I "have to admit" no such thing. I don't think she comes over high so much as completely shocked and overwhelmed. Maybe she was on something, maybe she wasn't, not sure it's conclusive either way. For her sake I hope rehab is working, because recently her lifestyle has seemed to be causing herself and others real pain. Wouldn't judge her if she failed though. Just like I'd rather people didn't judge me when I fail to slay my own personal demons from time to time.
Are you really being serious about this - or are you yanking our legs?
You really want music awards to not simply be judged (well supposedly!) on merit, but have the prequalification that recipients are 'decent and upstanding' (whose criteria are we using for that btw?)?
I guess we shouldn't listen to her music either then. Or Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Stone Roses...oh in fact 80% of all credible output of the last 50 years. Leaving us, I guess, with Cliff Richard, The Osmonds and the like? Yum, can't wait.
Man living in that sort of new-puritan world would make we want to head straight to the chemicals...
In the meantime, I'll just be thankful that we don't and that for all her problems (and let's hope she finds a path through them) Amy is giving us some sublimely wonderful music and is one of the most talented singers and songwriters to come out of this isle in recent times.
