David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Amy Winehouse doesn't pull a Britney
And now, the moment CBS told us we were waiting for:
Cuba Gooding, Jr., introduces Amy Winehouse, promising “So much more great music still to come,” as if wishing will make it so. Black flapper-like dress and heels and, naturally, that beehive. She performs “You Know I'm No Good” and, of course, “Rehab.” Sounds in good voice, looks like she might have restless leg syndrome; though she doesn't really play to the camera – is she reading off a teleprompter? There's a nice, wry look on her face as she sings, “Don't make me go to rehab.”
And for her efforts, she's rewarded the Record of the Year Grammy for “Rehab.” She looks shocked, turns and buries her head into a backing performer. She's speechless, or maybe doesn't realize she's supposed to say something. “Uh... thank you to everyone,” she manages, finally, including, “For my Blake, incarcerated.” She keeps it together and ends on an exhilarated note.
