Winehouse winning Best New Artist was the best moment of the whole  
night.
The slow look of surprise that spread across her face, and then the  
tears of joy that followed was just one of the most genuine moments  
I've seen in ages. The hugs for her mum and dad were really quite  
touching.

I can't understand the acrimony displayed toward this woman. Everyone  
kvetches about the lack of authenticity in modern pop music, and  
someone comes along with a great voice and a great look and she just  
gets miles of stick. Make up your minds, kids.

Worst moment: The kabuki theatre version of "A Day In The Life." Good  
God, that was awful.
Look, I love the Beatles as much as the next guy, but Christ, the  
slavish boomer-centric devotion being showed them was just  
ridiculous. As was the "Sir George Martin is pretty freaking old,  
we'd better throw him a Grammy moment" that came during the award for  
best soundtrack. If you're looking for fresh and original, the award  
should have gone to Glenn Hansard and Marketa Irglova, not the 977th  
straight cynical repackaging of The Beatles'  back catalogue.
