Natalie Cole Vs. Amy Winehouse

February 12th, 2008

I swear we will not be talking about the Grammys all week, but I just couldn’t let this one go. Check this CBS News interview with Natalie Cole where she says that Amy Winehouse shouldn’t have won her Grammys (Winehouse took home the most Awards that night with 5, including one for Record of the Year). “I’m not happy about the Amy Winehouse thing,” says Cole. “Don’t think she deserved it. She needs to get her life together first, and then get awarded later….” Do I smell a catfight coming?

Thank you Patrian…I was definitely going to say a similar thing. The Grammys are about the artist’s music, not his or her personal life. Apparently the Academy felt that she was worthy of her awards since she won 5 out of 6.

natlie cole is right on the money if it was a black artis fighting a addiction you better believe if it was mary j alicia keys they would would not won a award or given the chance to perform live. The grammys have been that way for years when whitney huston was going through her problem you did’nt see her on no grammy awards its what it is. Kanye West keep doing your thing forget the grammmys.

“No one (not just Amy W.) should get awarded for bad behavior because quite simply it sends the wrong message.”

@nyota…It isn’t Amy’s job/responsibility to be an “example/role model”. It is up to the parents/guardians/village/community. This is about “art” and Amy excelled in that area. Also, this isn’t American Idol. Who cares if so and so can sing circles around Amy. They most likely don’t write their own music or even play an instrument. It is the “body of work” that she was rewarded for-not who has the most range and/or can sing the loudest. That kind of thinking is so one-dimensional.

“natlie cole is right on the money if it was a black artis fighting a addiction you better believe if it was mary j alicia keys they would would not won a award or given the chance to perform live.”

@larry…Is this what it is really about? If Amy were black you wouldn’t have a problem with her right? *sigh*. You are just as hypocritical as Natalie. At least Amy acknowledged she has a problem. She isn’t on the TV and RADIO pretending to be clean (NATALIE) while in reality she was high as a kite. NATALIE WAS A CRACKWH*ORE who LIED to HER FANS FOR YEARS. She needs to FALL BACK. JEALOUS B*TCH.

Could it be Ms. Natalie is a tad bit jealous. And could it be she is forgetting her own substance abuse issue. Three words for her. JUST SHUT UP!

Ms. Cole is a big hater. The Grammy Awards are about what an artist has accomplished music wise. It has nothing to do with a persons personal life. Amy Winehouse does have a lot of issues right now and personally I don’t think that she should have been banned from the event. But the bottom line is that the girl is talented and she deserved every award she got that night. If it’s such a big deal to Ms. Cole, she should give back the awards she received when she was struggling w/ drugs years ago.

Natalie Cole is NOT hater. Come on, ppl. I bet most of ya are too young to remember how great she was as a singer/performer, etc. She helped paved the way for the singers of today. Therefore, she DESERVES to be listened to. She’s a voice of experience. When she said that she disagree w/ the Grammys allowing Amy to perform, win those awards, etc, she’s telling the truth. Sure, Natalie was getting awards during her drug time, BUT that’s just it! She knows how getting all this praise during drug times, is NOT A GOOD THING! All it does is motivate ppl to continue DOING WHAT THEY’RE DOING! And NOT get the help needed.
And by the way, Natalie wasn’t the only person that night who disagreed w/ the whole Amy praise going on. There were ppl in the audience who BOOED when she won. I’m surprised Kanye hasn’t come out protesting. LOL

you know what it dosent matter what amy is going through.. shes a good artist nand she diserves what she worked for… who cares if she does drugs madd pplz do drugs…she got were she was because ahe has talent not because she did drugs.. she has an amazing voice and she diserves it, adn shes gonna get help and im happy for her..



J.Interested Said on

I totally agree with Natalie Cole! What message does it send to people, and once again color issue does play apart in winning an award!



diva Said on

Remember Mary J admitted to using drugs, didn’t she perform and win grammys, Whitney Houston had been suspected of doing drugs for years before it was actually confirmed. Do you not think she performed and won a Grammy or two during that time. I also remembe when Natalie Cole had a drug problem and got herself clean. Maybe she is hating or just concerned. I think it’s the pot calling the kettle back. Amy Winehouse deserved the awards, anyone who listened to her CD knows she deserved it.



RYAN'S WIFE Said on

LOOK NATALIE COLE SHOULDNT BE TALKIN ABOUT ANYONE NOT DESERVING ANY GRAMMYS SHE HAD AN ADDICTION PROBLEM BEFORE SO SHE NEEDS TO KEEP HER LITTLE COMMENT TO HERSLEF. SO WHAT IF AMY WINEHOUSE WON 5 GRAMMYS WHATS THE BIG PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONGRAULATE HER THAT SHES TRYING TO WALK AWAY FROM HER ADDICTION INSTEAD OF DOWNTALKING HER.NATALIE COLE IS JUST MAD THAT SHE DIDNT WIN ANY AWARDS AT TEH GRAMMYS.



enough Said on

awarding a strung-out junkie for a album about refusing to go to rehab just shows how stupid & corrupt a big-part of american-society is.



shystigurl Said on

First of all Natlie Cole needs to stop! She is a hater..im so tired of people hating on others accomplishements and acheivements..Just because Natalie’s father was a huge sucess does not give the right for her to hate on someone ..there is no excuse.. but if Natalie is hating then Im not made at her..she’s just doing a h8rs job..
GO head on Amy!!



shystigurl Said on

P.S. To Amy if they hate then let ‘em hate..they can watch the money pile up..do ya thing ‘Ma



shystigurl Said on

ps to Amy ..if they hate then let ‘em hate…they can watch the money pile up

I am disappointed in Natalie’s comment. This is like the pot calling the kettle black. She must of forgotten that her business is out there too.
