Amy Winehouse’s backup singer Zalon Thompson says that Amy is “full of life.” She added, “Amy’s full of energy, full of life. It’s a good thing.”

The singer, who bagged five Grammys on the 10th is “ready for the Brits”, he says, referring to Amy’s scheduled performance at the London ceremony Wednesday.

“I think sometimes it takes you to go through certain hard things to overcome and to go on to do better things,” Thompson, says of Winehouse, who is out of rehab but still receiving treatment. “She looked really good at the Grammys. She just looked very rested. It was great.”

And the teardrop on Amy’s face? “That teardrop she’s wearing in makeup on her face – I asked her. It’s because her baby’s incarcerated. I think she’ll wear that until he comes out.”
