After her recent success, Feist is still doing the rounds intro­du­cing herself like some some sort of newcomer. ('How Feist Became First Among Equals' — The Independent)

»
Amy Winehouse most def­in­itely will not be per­form­ing at this year's Grammy Awards. ('Winehouse Denied Visa For Grammys' — BBC)
