   [1]Amy Winehouse received six nominations for tonight's [2]Grammy
   Awards, more than any other artist save Kanye West. Still, most
   speculation has focused not on whether she will win any Grammys, but
   whether she'd be able to show up and perform at the 50th Anniversary
   show as scheduled. Coming out of rehab (despite her cries [3]she won't
   go, go, go), Winehouse was initially denied a visa to enter the U.S.
   due to "use and abuse of narcotics." A visa was [4]finally obtained at
   the last minute, but too late for her to make the trip. So now the
   troubled and talented singer is slated to perform via satellite.

   Most of Winehouse's nominations are for her song "[5]Rehab." It's a
   good song, but those lyrics are no longer operable. So instead here's
   a taste of her follow-up single, "[6]You Know I'm No Good":

     Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
     Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
     You say what did you do with him today?
     And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray
     Cause you're my fella, my guy
     Hand me your stella and fly
     By the time I'm out the door
     You tear men down like Roger Moore
     I cheated myself
     Like I knew I would
     I told ya, I was trouble
     You know that I'm no good.

   Here are the [7]full lyrics, and the [8]video.
