We still can't believe Amy Winehouse lost Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards to Herbie Fucking Hancock.
What a joke!
Our Wino was robbed, damnit. But, she was the night's big winner.
Amy was the talk of Los Angeles at all the Grammy after-parties.
We had a lot of fun at the Warner Bros partee downtown and a good time as well at the Entertainment Weekly / Island Def Jam soiree in West Hollywood.
Along the way, we ran into some of our favorite ladies.

u look great perez have u lost some weight
perez, why would you put Herbie Hancock down like that? You are ONE Cuban that DOES NOT know music!!! I have now lost respect and credibilty on you.
looks like the saying, "birds of a feather flock together," meaning you MUST be doing the same things amy does.
Hey Perez, what u talking about?
I like Amy, she's talented and everything but Herbie Hancock is a genius, and you should respect him.
Go on, keep playing your Spice Girls records, because that's the REAL THING!
Shut the fuck up Perez.
Herbie Hancock deserves it! He has been around for YEARS and is mad talented!!
At least he doesn't need rehab!!
What an idiot you are.
yep. im poor- and unsigned…but I bought it at Urban outfitters for 58$, not 5 $…. So go suck ur uncles balls, you dirty whore.
Perez, You owe Mr. Herbie Hancock and apology. My God, you have no idea who he is??? I'm sure instead of being offended by you comment, he is laughing at your ignorance……..Perez, apologize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys DO know that Perez was using hyperbole (that is, a figure of speech using exaggeration for emphasis)? He was expressing the fact that, while Herbie Hancock is extremely talented and has paid his dues, he's just not as relevant today as he once was. I love Herbie, but the album for which he won was far from his best, and I think it's rather insulting to give him a Grammy just because the voters felt guilty for not rewarding his better work.
By the way, I think people need to lay off of Amy for a while. She was a depressed addict who made some really stupid decisions, but she IS getting help now, and seems to be progressing well. If she starts up with the drus again after finishing rehab, criticize the hell out of her, but give her a chance for now!
honestly you don't know ANYTHING about music if you're claiming that Wino was robbed of a grammy. ESPECIALLY album of the year. not even a SINGLE BIT about music. Your ideals of music is SO fucking far off base. Herbie Hancock is a musical genius. You may not think so… but that's because YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE THE ART OF REAL MUSIC. If it wasn't for him, Fpeople wouldn't have such amazing music to trip off of… EVEN SOBER. don't get me wrong, I LOVE wino but hancock HANDS DOWN deserved it more. BE LEARNED PEREZ! and Hayley needs to pick up her balls when she performs. I love paramore…
over.
Kelly
PEREZ YOU LOOK GREAT GREAT GREAT WITH LIGHT HAIR!
DYE IT BLONDE NEXT:D with no dark streaks…
love justine:)
xxx
Wow, I adore Hayley's hair colour. You two look like rogue Skittles next to each other!
fuck off. hancock is a legend…..winehouse is just a fucking one hit wonder junkie.
amy winehouse was not robbed. back to black is amazing but herbie hancock deserved it.
Re: PerezReader –
But Amy is a RECOVERING addict. And we have drugs to thank for some of the most influential music in history! I'd be smoking pot and taking shrooms and LSD every hour, on the hour, if I thought it would lead me to write "Penny Lane" or "I Am the Walrus."
You look so fucking stupid with that sherbet hair Perez, and it would be nice if your jacket fit your fat ass
Don't be hatin' on the Rock It man, dude.
Wino's album had some good cuts, but it petered out at the halfway point. She won the awards she deserved to win.
Herbie Hancock is a GENIUS ! Have some respect!
Hancock's music is genius……time tested. River is fantastic! Much better than the soon to be has been Winehouse.
I hope you're a better fag than you are a commentator on music, fashion or anything else you've ever done with your life. Are you insulted by Herbie 'fucking' Hancock because he has musical talent or hiss life isn't a complete train wreck…or that he can dress himself without looking like a homeless person…or that he doesn't suck dick? You are a pathetic waste of life. To bad your parents weren't both fags too, then we wouldn't have the pleasure of seeing your stupid shit.
OMG PEREZ YOU'VE LOST WEIGHT!
Herbie Hancock rocks my shit. Amy Winehouse rocks my… desire for a emaciated drug addict with a man-voice? JK I don't have one.
You mean you can't believe that a someone widely considered one of the greatest musicians of our era, who has been making records for decades, beat out some drugged out skank who doesn't even write her own music?
And all of these people telling you look good are insane. You look absolutely ridiculous - the clothes you are wearing have no place on a man's body, and your haircut is absurd. You look like a cartoon character, and not in the good "I'm a pop culture icon" way. I only say this because your soul is dark and nasty. I'm normally more respectful, but a man who makes fun of an 11 year-olds eyebrows needs to know the truth about his "shiteous" appearance.
OMG Amy Winehouse sux!
I can't see what you see in her and thank god she didn't win!
perez you are such a fat loser:
Castro is dead
Billary 08
your bama black girl hair weaved style
you're sloppy and greasy like shitney
and you obvious have no music sense to criticize H. Hancock's award. It's good. But you wouldn't know cause it's not a piece of crack trash pop
Did you even listen to Herbie Hancock's last release? It's amazing on so many levels. Lay off of the cock and actually listen to some music, Perez. You may learn a thing or two about what a real artist sounds like.
Perez,
You look good, you always have a sparkle in your eye.
xo
My my, looks like a lot of folks are showing how truly ignorant they are about what makes a music legend most, particularly one of the great jazz pianists and composers of all time. Are any of you even aware that Hancock compositions are taught as part of technical curriculum in leading music institutions throughout the entire WORLD? Granted, Winehouse is a very talented young lady, who actually has(or had) good jazz chops for someone her age (when she first began). However, no matter how much we love and enjoy her bringing something fresh to the American music scene she's got a long way to go before she can take her place shoulder to shoulder with the greats of jazz, Mr. Hancock himself included.
oh i can't believe the crackhead Wino who can't sing at the Grammy Awards lost to LEGEND not only because of his marvelous tecnique but his historical addition to music Herbie Hancock…
What did the Wino added to music history? NOTHING.
and musically, let's not compare both records because there's no comparison.
c'mon…!
Perez - you look like bloated rooster.
ummm. Herbie Hancock is one of the most influential musicians of our time. hell if it wasnt for guys like him, there would not be an Amy Winehouse!
I feel sorry for these kids and you Perez who don't have the slightest clue who Herbie Hancock is. I'm glad he grabbed best album instead of a crack addict and whore du jour. She's a good singer, used to be great but the whole drug fiasco is just pathetic. Herbie is far more talented and the Rhapsody in Blue part kicked ass, Amy was on another planet.
And Paramore? WTF is THAT? Please, do some research on real music and stop hanging around with talentless pop sellouts.
well show a little respect dude. its not like she lost to some bum. she didnt lose album of the year to vanilla ice or just anyone. She lost to a Jazz legend
your hair ! It just keeps getting worse … spawn of Bozo.
What do you see when you look in the mirror ?
and the button on your way too tight jacket looks like it's about to pop off.
Why do you take such great pains to look so bad ??
Search Herbie Hancock on Wikipedia and buy the album and maybe you'll understand why he won and Amy Winehouse didn't. She might be able to capture soul, but HErbie Hancock IS Jazz
Re: PerezReader – I couldn't agree with you more.
How porker, uh i mean perez. you're getting called out! i', starting to read all of the comments and wow you need to apologize or maybe just draw some "white spots" or a dick on ur face for once with ur fucking lame ass orange hair. By the way that cartoon picture of you at the top of the page need to be about 30 pounds fatter DOUCHE!
Herbie Fucking Hancock will be around long after Amy Winehouse OD's. Why so bitter? Did he refuse to take a picture with you? Probably. He has way too much class for that, unlike your "favorites".
R U that stoopid Parez…..Herbie Hancock's album was a fine piece of work. It was a compliation f the Joni Mitchell's music…and it was SENSATIONAL…it is the stuff of true art…not glam and drug….but ART….
Joni Is Canadian and we are proud of her….so Perez FUCK YOU!!!!
I'm sorry Perez, but do you know how influential Herbie Hancock is?
Amy has only been around for a little while, and hasn't been able to promote her ablum POSATIVLY
hayley, hayley, HAYLEY!! this makes me uber happy to see her on here. two of my FAVORITE people in the world standing next to one another. aww makes me proud. perez rocks! so fuck all the haters! paramore rocks too! muah
5 GRAMMYS AND U HAD 2 LUMP AMY INTO A SHARE W/2 OTHER SINGERS. SHE SHOULD HAVE HER OWN POST ON HERE. PLUS, U DIDNT POST UNTIL 4AM. U COULD HAVE DONE BETTER PEREZ.
Amy Winehouse and is a talentless crackhead and should never have been recorded. I get so tired of hearing these hideous excuses of musicians trying to pretned like they can sing and win award after award for it. There's obviously a serious disillusion of music in the US these days. We go from Elvis, Celine Dion, Nat King Cole, Mariah Carey…performers that actually have talent, to people like Macy Gray and Amy Winehouse who can't carry a tune to save their soul. It is a pathitic state of our country to see people winning a mutltitude of awards for no having no talent and we give them away to a large group of dysfunctional, drug addicted, alcoholic talentless people that need to get away from Hollywood and LA and go back to their hometowns and get an education and work for a living like everyone else does.
Perez, for you to call him "Herbie F'in Hancock" shows the world just how much of a jaded idiot you are.
Herbie Hancok has longevity. He has been writing longer than Amy has been breathing.
You have lost your manners
PEREZ U need to have respect for the Musical Elders
OK THAT BEING SAID AMY RULED. SHE LOOKED SO GOOD. DID U NOTICE THEY COVERED THE TITS ON HER ARM. SHE IS SO ORNREY. THAT SWAGGER WAS BACK AND THAT HAS BEEN MISSING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. SHE LOOKED YOUNGER THAN SHE HAS IN A LONG TIME. AS FOR HER PERFORMANCE, I LUVED IT, THEY SHOULD HAVE MOVED THE GRAMMYS ACROSS THE POND AND RENAMED IT THE "AMY WINEHOUSE AWARDS"
ALL U HATERS TAKE A BACK SEAT AND LET THE AMY LUVERS HAVE THEIR SAY. SHE DESERVES IT, WE DESERVE IT. TEAM WINO FOREVER!!!!!!!!
Perez, that is the stupidest comment you have written yet! Herbie Hancock has put in a lot of work for years now, He is not a Heroin addict like your friend Winehouse. Yeh she made a great album this year, But Herbie has written countless songs for other people besides his own vocals and music expertise. What you say does not count one ouce in this world
Well Perez,
You have officially aligned yourself with the Hollywierd elite. If you thought Amy Winehouse's performance was among the top of last night then you're probably smokin some of the same shit she is. It wasn't hard to gather from her bad singing and erratic behavior that she was on something - even if it was Methadone. Get a clue people, the only thing Amy is famous for is for being a junkie. Otherwise, she'd just be an OK singer from the UK. Drama pays the bills these days.
herbie hancock is a fucking legend, you stuck-up-current-celebs-ASS-retardo.
YOU, too, YOUR 15 mins of fame is about over.
amy I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!
THE BEST!
Um….you say you a lot of music…..obviously then you would know that Herbie Hancock is a LEGEND and absolutely AMAZING at everything he does…..just because he doesnt write stupid pop songs doesn't mean hes not good….
HERBIE FUCKING HANCOCK IS A LEGEND
amy winehouse is great but she cant compare
can anyone say CRACK WHORE…hey perez why dont you make your little white line sketch showing the junkie holding a pipe while singing…i cant believe people actually root for crack whores…what is this world coming to…
YAY katy is gonna be SOOO big in 2008… keep on posting things about her, she's the fucking number 1 !!!!!
herbie "fucking" hancock ??? nice response perez you moron, his talent and longevity are legendary, guess you didn't see his "Rhapsody in Blue" performance either, huh, you dickhead ….. amy is a one crack wonder who is lucky to be alive
Perez!!! You should apologize for what you said about Herbie Hancock. This man is a freaking legend. Look at his career. Look what he has done. "God made me Funky"? One of the funkiest records ever to date. This guy is the real deal and he's got more talent in his little finger than that crack whore Winehouse who quite frankly is a flash in the pan. I mean, her sound is great right now, but it's gonna get old quick and she'll probably be dead in a few years.
Perez, you just lost every ounce of credibility in my eyes. Not that you had much anyway, but I thought you handled the Heath Ledger thing fairly well and kept your acerbic comments to yourself. This remark about Herbie just blew it though. You are truly a cultureless idiot. I bet you've never even listened to Herbie Hancock or the Headhunters. This man is responsible for many of the breaks you hear in modern music today. He's a legend. Apologize!
HERBIE FUCKING HANCOCK IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THEN AMY WINEHOUSE! I'M WICKED HAPPY HERBIE WON OVER HER!!
Perez, perhaps your musical tastes are a little shallow? Look beyond pop and you'll see that Herbie Hancock is a musical genius who's been creating brilliant work for decades. We'll have to wait to see if that can be said about Ms Winehouse until, say, the Grammy awards in around 2060…
Sometimes you are so classless, Perez. I'll bet you never listened to Herbie Hancock before last night.
With five grammy wins, Wino wasn't robbed. Jayzuz. Stop being inflammatory.
Dude. It's okay to be bummed about Amy not winning Album of the Year, but don't lash out on Herbie Hancock. He deserved the win!
I SHAVED MY PUBE HAIR DURING THE PIANO DUET. SORRY, DIDNT GET IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO WINO. WELCOME BACK GIRL.
Have some respect. "Herbie Fucking Hancock"!!?? He is one of the most influential jazz musicians of our time who has paid his dues for some 50+ yrs. The grammys give away enough awards to the undeserving. When the crackhead puts out a few more albums with the same quality of music on the first (don't think she's capable)I'll believe the hype but until then she is just another one of the undeserving.
I think Winehouse is very talented but she couldn't even
stand in Herbie Hancock's shadow. She has a great voice
but he's a genius.
WTF? At least herbie wrote and played his music. Amy is a puppet……… she doesn't MAKE music, but she is blessed with a great voice. All she did was sing others' music and walked around doing crack for a year……….. gimme a break. that skank received enough awards
Re: renton – DUDE, #7 AN 10 WERE THE BEST CUTS ON BACK 2 BLACK. 10 SHOWING THE SHIT OUTTA HER VOICE, GET A CLUE.
You fucking retard. Herbie Hancock is a legend. He's got more talent in his pinkie than Amy has in her whole body. HE has put in YEARS in the music business. If you knew ANYTHING about good music, you would understand the reasons why he won.
Ive seen him and John Mayer live (rockin it together). He IS amazing to watch. He totally deserves it.
God damn you're ugly. Now I see why you'd put others down to make yourself feel better
Re: Michael C. Thompson – SHE WRTES ALL HER OWN MUSIC. ASS.
are you freaking kidding me? Herbie Hancock is a legend. Amy Winehouse is just regurgitated 60's soul music that'll be a laughingstock in 5 years. It's about time a real artist won album of the year. I'm sure every artist in that room was more influenced by "Rockit" than "Rehab".
PEREZ MAN I GOTTA SAY I LIKE THE LOOK. YOU HAVE TO HAVE KOOKY HAIR COLOR…IT'S YOUR SIGNATURE…YOU'RE A CHARACTER…IT'S LIKE HEDDA HOPPER WITH THE HATS…MOST OF MY LAMBS ON THIS SITE DON'T KNOW WHO I MEAN…SHE WAS A RUTHLESS GOSSIP COLUMNIST DURING HOLLYWOOD'S HEYDEY..AND SHE WORE CRAZY BIG HATS. STARS WHO CROSSED HER AND DIDN'T PAY HOMAGE TO HER RUED THE DAY.
.
.
BACK TO YOU: THE WEIGHT LOSS….FANTASTIC! KEEP IT UP PEREZ…SUMMER'S COMING…MAKE THE HATERS HATE
You look like some sort of androgynous alien. You are one hideous fuck perez. Seriously Fugly. Go play in traffic or something
Herbie won because he got the most votes. That's how it works, folks. Clearly enough people thought his album was superior. And if some people didn't want to vote for Amy because they didn't want to reward her lifestyle, that's their choice. Not a great one in my opinion, but their choice, just the same. For what it's worth, Herbie is amazingly talented. His music may not be everyone's cup of tea, but neither is Amy's, Kanye's or Vince Gill's (who's joke to Kanye was THE line of the night)
HERBIE GIVES ME A RUN FOR MY MONEY.
Herbie Hancock deserved it, do you have fear of a black man's dick? huh Perez, you racist fuck!
There are better artists than ms. Winehouse. And herbie hancock (whomever he is) rightfully deserved that grammy, he did not steal anything
you look like you may be losing some weight. Could be the jacket though
I love ya, Perez, but HH earned that Grammy. He's a legend. Pick up one of his albums and you might like it.
Asshole, Amy would be honored to lose to Herbie hancock….have you listen to her music!!!!
You have to put a filter on your keyboard sometimes, Perezilicious. I look at your website ever day, but your comment about Herbie Hancock was, if anything, uneducated. His dual piano performance with Lang Lang doing Gershwin's Rahpsody in Blue gave me chills and goosebumps. Please don't use the "F" word when you're talking about Herbie Hancock. He probably has more talent in his little finger than Amy has in her beehive.
Hancokc is a legend, PerezShitlon. He looks like Winona Judd
Yeah, Herbie only played with Miles, and has a bit more influence on the music world…Amy plays with crack pipes. Then again, you have shitty taste in music so it's not surprising you'd say something like that, you fat ugly mess
Get over whinehorse not winning - a true muscians won album of the year, not some hack addict who cant sing.
Let's all celebrate the crackhead won five grammys. What's this world
coming to.
Perez, bring blotting papers you grease-ball!
You guys DO know that Perez was using hyperbole (that is, a figure of speech using exaggeration for emphasis)? He was expressing the fact that, while Herbie Hancock is extremely talented and has paid his dues, he's just not as relevant today as he once was. I love Herbie, but the album for which he won was far from his best, and I think it's rather insulting to give him a Grammy just because the voters felt guilty for not rewarding his better work.
By the way, I think people need to lay off of Amy for a while. She was a depressed addict who made some really stupid decisions, but she IS getting help now, and seems to be progressing well. If she starts up with the drus again after finishing rehab, criticize the hell out of her, but give her a chance for now!
*************************************************************
Rewarding a drug addict just bec she is in rehab in the past 2 wks is laughable
HH is a legend and the album may not be his best but better than that of a drug addict.She has to prove herself to be fit and performing more than 2 sec
without using drugs or booze on stage or walking out on her audience.
Mr. HH. win was well deserved.
You got your hair cut! It looks great! I think your hair would look nice black/brown/and burgundy with a couple of small white stripes thrown in there. You're looking nice Perez.
And this is comin' from a girl who used to get down on you for dressin' like a clown and having a mullet. I love your outfit in this picture!
Oh yes!
Whenever I pause
to look back on 2007
I will always remember it
for:
Herbie Hancock………..
um ya, sure.
herbie fucking hancock? fuck you!
he's a genuine talent and he's doing something with his life besides drugs. i like amy but seriously, grow a brain you dick! i'm sorry amy winehouse is all that can satisfy your goldfish attention span but learn quality!
perez i am very disappointed in you. herbie hancock is way better than that heroin addict…he has talent.
Herbie Hancock is one of the finest, most professional and talented musicians around today. He's paid his dues and deserves respect and admiration plus his sound is HIS sound - never to be duplicated. You may want to congratulate him first - then gripe about it privately. Just a suggestion.
Amy Winehouse won enough. Thank you London…is her response? Aren't we in America? I love her music also…but if she believes that people still love her and that she can be rewarded and regarded so highly even while smoking crack in front of us…why would she ever change?
i can't believe how fucking ugly perez is. the fact that he has the nerve to rag on anyone baffles me.
Perez you are a FUCKING IDIOT! You've probably never heard a jazz record in your life! Herbie Hancock is an established jazz musician. he has perfected his craft over the course of fifity years! Amy Winehouse is talented, but she's a crackhead, who barely gives a shit about her own fucking existence. This is only her second album! God you are flamming fu Perez!
You lose weight?
You are a joke Perez. One big fat gay joke. Herbie Hancock is better than you in every way. Your blogs are stolen from every other gossip column. You are just as bad as any paparazzo out there and I don't know why you think we all don't know.
The best part is, I've seen you in public and have witnessed countless people insult you to your face. You don't even handle it well. You just tell young boys to take off their shirts for you (to try and piss them off) and you insult the women by commenting on their looks…LAME.
You really need to do something better with your life. Perhaps you should go back to school. Major in something that gives you the tools to help out with the progress of the world instead this unproductive blog and vlog of garbage. Oh yeah, and you might want to get a grammar and spelling workbook while you're at it.
You suck. Big time.
If it weren't for Herbie Fucking Hancock, a pioneer of jazz, Amy Winehouse probably wouldn't be singing great jazz standards, so have some respect.
Perez, you look thinner and healthier in these photos. Are you losing weight?
why the fuck does perez look like a fruit salad with all those colours in his hair
Really? You felt Wino was robbed? Everyone I was watching it with couldn't believe she'd done so well…seemed undeserved, really
Any jazz musician's album is ALWAYS better than some crappy pop album. Most people, including you, are just too ignorant about music to understand the musical greatness of someone like Herbie Hancock over the last 30 years. Does Amy Winehouse even know what chords are in her songs? I doubt it.
you can't believe the album of the year went to "Herbie Fucking Hancock"?????
your just part of the pack of tasteless, talentless people blowing their own horn for no apparent reason these days…HE has some talent and some class! People who know music are impressed and relieved that art and talent can still be recognized in the classless, soulless world of the music industry. and you must be very uncomfortable…still walking around with your taste & opinion firmly up your ass!
what makes you think that because you "blog" you have any right or privilege to have an informed opinion about music? do you play an instrument??? sing??? we know you blow, but your instrument of choice probably doesn't produce a musical sound, eh Mario?
your such a self important prick, among many self important pricks…and here, my dear, you are definitely on the bottom!
