Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been nominated for three prestigious music awards.

Winehouse on stageThe Brit - who earlier this year scooped five Grammys - is leading the way in the 53rd Ivor Novello Awards.

Two of her songs, Love Is A Losing Game and You Know I'm No Good, are shortlisted in the Best Song category.

On top of that, her smash hit Rehab is listed in the Performing Right Society's (PRS) most performed work section.

Winehouse, 24, whose husband Blake Fielder-Civil is also in jail on remand, has been dogged with personal problems with lurid stories of drug and alcohol abuse.

A video of the singer apparently smoking crack cocaine was published by The Sun.
Soon afterwards she checked into Rehab.

The strain shows earlier this yearAfter her Grammy success, the star's mother Janis said: "Well, as you saw, she looks good and it's a case of she's on the road, and that's what it's about, she's on the road to recovery."

Winehouse has won two Ivors before.

The awards - named after the British musician, songwriter, playwright and actor who died 1951 - are presented by the British Academy of Composers & Songwriters in association with the PRS.

They are designed to celebrate British music writing and will be presented at Grosvenor House, London, on Thursday, May 22.

Ivor Novello Awards? Nominated three times? Great!

[kevd7]

great news, but seems she should be in other categories as well. why no songwriter nod? two songs in the same category? Rehab for best selling british song, against betonce/shakira and mika....guess we could look up the stats and determine that winner. what did Amy win for before?

edit...nevermind, Stronger Than Me and Rehab, both for best Song.

Also The Mirror:

(What's this?)Amy Winehouse has been nominated for three Ivor Novello Awards - known as the Oscars of British songwriting.

Last year, she won Best Contemporary Song for her breakthrough hit Rehab.

Now this year, Rehab is nominated for Best-Selling British Song, while both Love is a Losing Game, and You Know I'm No Good are nominated for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

It's the first time that a singer has been nominated twice the same year in the category since the awards were launched in 1955.

They come despite reports that Winehouse, whose husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, is in prison awaiting trial for allegedly perverting the course of justice, has been warned by her record label that it will not release a third album unless she is completely clean from drugs.

Two months ago, the north London singer dominated the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, despite not being at the event, scooping five of the top prizes including best new artist, best pop vocal album, record of the year and song of the year for Rehab.

In the Best-Selling British Song category, Winehouse is up against Mika's Grace Kelly and the Beyonce and Shakira track Beautiful Liar, which was written by Briton Amanda Ghost.

Radiohead's In Rainbows is up for best Album, while Foundations by London singer Kate Nash and Golden Skans by the Klaxons are nominated for Best Contemporary Song.

Take That's Shine, Kaiser Chiefs' Ruby, and Just Jack's Starz In Their Eyes all receive nominations for being the most-performed radio tracks of the year.

Glad to hear that LIALG was nominated. What a perfect song that is. Just gorgeous.

I don't know how reliable people mag is as so many of the articles out there right now are negative all the time! People seem to have stories about her not being on the brink in stark contrast to everyone else but anyway? Who knows, like many of you I am now taking a back seat.

"Winning Ivors for my songwriting have been some of the best moments in my music career," says Winehouse, 24. "I'm overwhelmed to be nominated three times, let alone twice in the same category. It's come at a great time too. I'm excited to be back at work in the studio, enjoying songwriting and making music again."

Yes it is. I think this song should win. Lyrically it's better than YKING.
