Before Amy Winehouse ran into tabloid-worthy trouble, there was this -- a great singer with a gorgeous voice who wrote her own simple, yet stylish, soulful songs that could melt even the coldest heart.
Now -- through much of her own doing, sure -- she's become a cartoon character, someone who it's OK to make fun of even on what should feel like one of the best days of her life. I don't have a problem with George Lopez telling jokes about her, saying that she's so drunk "she makes Lindsay Lohan look cool." But I do have a problem with him doing it on stage at the Grammy nominations ceremony, right after he announced her honor. Classy.
Anyway, Winehouse could presumably take home 6 Grammys on Feb. 10 (the same number as Kanye West, by the way, since West is up against himself in two categories) and it could be another turning point in her life -- one that takes her back to the Winehouse in this video.
On the jump, another stripped down version of "Love Is a Losing Game," which will be her next single and hits stores on Monday.
