At the 2008 GRAMMYs, Amy Winehouse won Best New Artist — a milestone moment in her storied but tragically short career. Though the singer was in London at the time and performed live via satellite, Cyndi Lauper and Miley Cyrus accepted the award on her behalf, bringing an extra spark of joy and star power to the win.
Best New Artist was one of five victories Winehouse celebrated that night, including Song Of The Year and Record Of The Year for her smash "Rehab" — cementing her place as one of the most unforgettable voices of her generation. For more unforgettable GRAMMY Rewind moments, visit GRAMMY.com/videos.
