British singer Amy Winehouse. (AP) Last update - 05:18 12/02/2008 Denied entry to U.S., Amy Winehouse dominates Grammies from afar By The Associated Press Tags: Grammies, Jews, Amy Winehouse Trapped half a world away by the place she promised to never go, go, go, a vibrant, exuberant Amy Winehouse dominated the Grammys, winning five awards and delivering a defiant performance of her autobiographical hit Rehab via satellite from London. As the ceremony approached, suspense built over whether the British Jewish songstess' drug troubles would cost her a work visa. When her visa application was rejected Thursday, Grammy producers arranged for her to perform remotely. Wearing a sly smile as she performed for a small cabaret audience, Winehouse gave a sultry, soulful rendition of the hit that has defined her recent fall from grace. She looked just as coy as she sang the song You Know I'm No Good - almost reveling in the irony of her words.

She was immediately enveloped by her band, then her mother and father, who have publicly worried about whether their daughter - who just recently entered a drug rehabilitation center after months of reported drug use, erratic behavior and canceled performances - would survive her demons. In a major shocker, Winehouse lost the final award of the night, album of the year, to Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters. Earlier this month, Winehouse's producer said she was mulling an album of 'cool' Hanukkah hits.
