Two Grammys for Winehouse

British singing sensation Amy Winehouse was one of the early winners at the Grammy awards today.

The jazz star, whose personal life is in turmoil, picked up best pop vocal album for 'Back To Black' and best female pop vocal before the televised part of the ceremony began.

Winehouse, 24, was due to attend the 50th annual US awards, recognising the cream of the music industry, but visa problems last week mean she will now perform via satellite from a British studio.

Kanye West, another early winner, took best rap solo performance for Stronger, best rap song for Good Life and best rap performance by a duo or group for his collaboration with Common on Southside.
