At the time of writing, Amy Winehouse is collapsed over a table in a police station like a jelly skeleton with big bulbous eyes begging a weary detective to brush the whole crack thing under the carpet and let her go to America - for the Grammys! For the sake of international relations, we should all pray that he refuses, and she is sent home with a smacked bottom instead. At least that way rifle toting bible bashers in America won't get the wrong idea of us.

But will she win anything?

» Winehouse is favourite for Record of the Year and Best New Artist - a double which has only been acheived once in the last ten years (Norah Jones, 2003). A much more conventional brace would be Best Record and Best Album (Santana, 2000; Ray Charles, 2005; Dixie Chicks, 2007; Norah Jones, 2003). Note that Jones has been mentioned twice - she scooped a whopping five (Best Record, New Artist, Album, Female Pop Perfomance, Pop Album) in 2003.

» Since 1965, British artists have only been represented in the Record of The Year category in twenty of a possible forty-two years, winning on six of them (Steve Winwood, Higher Love, 1987; Phil Collins, Another Day In Paradise, 1991; Eric Clapton, Tears in Heaven, 1993; Seal, Kiss From a Rose, 1996; Eric Clapton, Change the World, 1997; Coldplay, Clocks, 2004).

» Eleven women have won the Record of The Year award since 1965 - mainly the likes of Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Tina Turner. Winehouse might be a little too edgey for a prize that last went to a female solo artist when Norah Jones was singing wet songs about kissing (or something).

» The especially bad news is that not one British woman has ever won the Record of The Year, and only two have ever been nominated for the prize (Corinne Bailey Rae, Put Your Records On, 2007; Petula Clark, Downtown, 1965). Rihanna, or big time Grammy winner (five in 2004) Beyonce look better bets.

» In the Best New Artist category, Winehouse is, however, the favourite. Six British artists have been nominated in this category since 2000, and none have won (Corinne Bailey Rae, Imogen Heap, James Blunt, 2007; Keane, 2006; Joss Stone, 2005; David Gray, 2002). The last British winner was Sade in 1986. Winehouse is up against Paramore, Ledisi, Feist, and Taylor Swift. All of whom no one has ever heard of (in the Popbet office).

» For Best Female Pop Vocal, she would only be the third Brit to ever win, behind Petula Clark (I Know a Place, 1966) and Annie Lennox (No More I Love Yous, 1996).

» popbet superfact: Her main rival for this one is Christina Aguilera (for Candyman), who has already scooped the prize twice (Beautiful, 2004; Ain't No Other Man, 2007). A third win would put her on a par with previous greats Dionne Warwick (Do You Know The Way To San Jose, 1969; I'll Never Fall In Love again, 1971; I'll Never Love This Way Again, 1980), Barbra Streisand (People, 1965; Love Theme (A Star is Born), 1978; The Broadway Album, 1987) and Whitney Houston (Saving All My Love For You, 1986; I Wanna Dance With Somebody, 1988; I Will Always Love You, 1994). No one has ever won it twice in a row, however.
