Amy Winehouse

Forget twelve steps, the step that apparently works best for Amy Winehouse is the one where she dominates a major awards show. The newly minted five-time Grammy Award winner, is supposedly back on the straight and narrow. While it is said that rehab is working wonders for the 24-year-old, it was her big performance, and show of support, at the Grammys, that really put Winehouse over the edge in terms of cleaning up her act.

The decision was for the best. What you see is how she is. She seems like a very, very genuine and sincere girl; not to mention a talented one. Among her horde of awards were Grammys for Best New Artist, Record and Song of the Year for "Rehab", Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Pop Vocal Album honors for Back to Black.

Despite the constant media glare and what seemed for a time like her daily public and destructive travails. Even those problems can't be pinned entirely on Amy. Last month, the Sun tabloid went for it in a big way, publishing still photos in its print edition and snippets of a full video online showing Winehouse smoking what appeared to be a crack pipe and admitting to having taken Valium in footage that was filmed at the singer's London home.

A few days later, the singer checked into rehab—yes, the same rehab she refused in her hit single. From what I know about addiction, addiction is something that once it's got hold of the person, it's very hard to get off. So I commend her on taking the advice of her parents, management and record label and taking steps to better herself .Though the "I'm No Good" songbird is no longer in the live-in rehab facility in London, it has been confirmed that Winehouse is currently receiving outpatient treatment.
