Award Shows are always full of exciting and unexpected moments each year, and this year was no different. Troubled singer Amy Winehouse won five out of the six grammy awards that she was nominated for. Her song "Rehab" this year was a huge hit and set the stage for her extremely successful album. However Amy Winehouse is a very controversial figure in the public because of her drug addiction which she is seeking treatment for in a London rehab. Some feel that by awarding Winehouse for her amazing album we are sending the wrong message and overlooking her problems. However, I believe she is an extremely talented artist who should be rewarded for her musical contributions to the world. On another note when it came time for Album of the Year Award, everyone was shocked when Herbie Hancock, a jazz musician, beat out Winehouse and Kanye West for the coveted honor. He won for his album "River: The Joni Letters" and this was the first time in 43 years that a jazz album won the Album of the Year. Congrats Herbie! I'm glad things were mixed up a bit.
