AND I DON'T THINK BEING A DAUTHER OF SOME ONE FAMOUS SHOULD BE REWARDED . I'M A GOOD SINGER BECAUSE MY DADDY WAS,

You can use the money to buy Whitney that cute little apartment she wants. She just needs to remember the decade she spent all coked up and not be so judgey.

MAYBE SHE SHOULD START DOING SOME BADHAVIOR THEN WE MIGHT SEE HER INNER TALENT

Thise comes from a former coke head! HYPOCRITE!

yeah, wasn't she a crack smoker in the late 70's/ early 80's?

I just think it's silly. What if you could only give the awards to the people who were not doing drugs? Who would they give the awards to?

it's okay, Natalie. It is hard getting older- I sometimes have trouble masking my bitterness too. I really think these awards shows are bullshit but…Amy's album was/is genious and I dont recall any of her awards being for Most Prolific Drug Addict and Anorexic. Sheesh. Everything is such a bummer in entertainment news these days.

Man, you should join the Moral Olympics-your ability to make tremendous leaps of moral equivalency is awe-inspiring.
Nat King Cole was a womanizer; he had extramarital affairs. His sins were against his wife, and were their private business.
Amy Winehouse is a self-destructive drug abuser and wife-beater-enabler whose greatest hit is about her refusal to do anything about her addictive behaviors-a celebration, if you will, of drug addiction.
How you can possibly get your shit hot over the DAUGHTER of a man who had romantic affairs speaking out against a woman who stands as a paragon of everything that young people should NOT do with their lives, because she believes that making heroes of such people is wrong, just leaves me breathless.
You are the Pat Robertson of gossip.

jbonz, because she's ridiculous. I'm not a fan of Amy but you could also say her sins are against herself and personal. Or flip it and say you shouldn't be holding up a womanizer as a hero. Think of all the other artists who received awards and were also self destructive addicts. Why isn't she whining about any of them getting one? It's silly.

WHAT SHE'S SAYING IS LIKE IN THE OLD BLUES SONG "IT SHOULD OF BEEN ME"

THEY SHOULD LET HER PLAY THE JOKER WITH THAT SMILE

She actually has somewhere around 6-8 grammy's. I didn't feel like googling it. But she's not just talking out of her ass. She even won best new artist. She just is off about this but she's talented in her own right.

THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW. IT'S NEVER ENOUGH

STAR EGO

UROOOOOOOOOCK
15TH BITCHES!
ZZZZZZZZZ

Ok, so that's kind of what I said but Cord said it all smarty pants and with a pink box. I can't compete with a pink box.

IS THAT SEXUAL REFENCE(PINK BOX)

I was just pleased that Amy wasn't slurring her words or falling over on stage. She's got too much talent to piss her life awy.

I thought is was cheesy for her to work her incarcerated Blake into both songs but if she wrote it, I guess it's her perogative to change it.

Cord has a good point about the "generation gap" and the sins of the father vs. those of this generation. Go back even further and you have great artists like Parker and Coltrane who battled their own demons. I can't imagine what's going to pass as normal behavior for musicians (even society as a whole) in another 30 years.

I'm sooooo glad you brought this up! Her statement just irritated the f out of me.

Grammy-an award for excellence in the recording industry.

They didnt give her the fucking Nobel Peace Prize for shits sake.

HERE'S A SURPRIZE I LOVE AMY AND DEFEND HER.
BUT NEVER SHOULD SHE SEND OUT A WORD TO THAT ABUSER BLAKE. IT GIVES HIM MORE POWER TO CONTROL HER

Great artists have always had some monkey on their backs, but not only does time erase (or at least make dim) those battles, but the personal lives of stars were more, well, personal.

Billie Holiday was an addict, Bing Crosby was a hateful abuser, Nat Cole was a womanizer, the list goes on and on.

Cord, I agree with your point that "they had better be prepared to call their unfaithful father “bad” AND say they’re disappointed that he was awarded Grammys while being so cruel to his family," but would add that she had better be willing to say that she's willing to give up the three Grammy awards she won while using (she's admitted to using LSD, heroin and crack).

I could add my two cents about the fact that a grammy isn't a reward for good behavior, but I think that has been aqequately covered.

Instead I will focus on jbonz assertion that Amy is a wife-beater-enabeler. That's a joke right? Because if not, there is like one way that could be construed as not disgustingly offensive. And somehow I feel like jbonz didn't mean it that way.

Natalie is just old, bitter and speaking out loud in the middle of a hot flash.

Behavior and musical contribution have nothing to do with one another. Look at R Kelley, Nat King Cole, Motley Crue, The Doors, Kanye West…all had deplorable/destructive behavior, but their music was still awarded because it was good.

ALL YOU AMY LOVERS DISGUST ME

BORN AGAIN AMYS

Ha ha ha, chelsea, is it your dream or what? All the other Hags are basically defending Amy. Is that a pig I see flying out of my butt?

ITS A GOOD DAY

May I just say that if someone ever called me a "wife beater enabler" to my face, I'd slap the shit out of him? Then again, maybe I'd be a "ridiculous comment enabler," so I might just take it like a champ. Either way, that's a funny thought. Natalie Cole clearly needs some publicity.

I'm not defending Amy's problems, but the award was for her music, not her lifestyle. The two are inherently connected, but we didn't give her a ribbon for Excellence in Crack Pipery, so it's all relative.

Chels… you know that most of the hags have not disputed Amy's talent. It's watching her repeatedly try to self desctruct where they (well, me at least) take issue.

And in related news, who the fuck offered Britney Spears the opportunity to teach a dance class to 5 year-olds? That's something that Natalie Cole should be worried about. That and her crack habit.

No problems purging breakfast then?

CLOSE ENOUGH

lale, you're kidding? What the fuck kind of parents would let Britney teach their children dance?
Oh. For. Fuck's. Sake.

I did find Amy's crack-y James Brown dance funny though. She sounded so much better than the last time I saw her on t.v., when she sang "Back to Blaaaa, blaaah. Blaaaaaaaaah."

Amy vs. Natalie in a drugged out Death Match @ the Thunderdome.

BREAKFAST WHAT'S THAT?

I love it Mae. Now we're talking.

AMY BY A MILE

My heart is with Amy but my money is on that crazy bitch Natalie.

I don't know, Natalie has the power of the dramatic earring removal move, but Amy has whatever she has hidden in her hive.

The beehive hadnt crossed my mind. Should we check beehives at the door or just let it go?

Does anybody really want to check that beehive? It'd be like checking for lice, except whatever is in her beehive could probably kill you.

The hive is deadly.

I think it's important to remember that if you are married you are a wife-beater-enabler, and if you are female you are a potential wife-beater enabler. Be strong, hags…be strong.

Of course, jbonz could have meant that Amy buys Blake ribbed white tank tops.

that'S what they mean when they say it gives me hives(STOP IT CHELSEA)

FORGIVE ME AMY FOR I HAVE SINNED

Lily: I stand corrected. I mean TWO ways. I thought maybe he was referring to the fact that Amy beat Blake's ass a while ago. So if he defended himself, then she was enabling his wife beating? He must mean the shirts, cause Blake is all about a ribbed white tee.

Mae, it's being reported that she did just that. I'm wondering if it's true, too. If I found out that my kids' dance school brought that mess in, I'd threaten to sue. I want a year's supply of pink tights, or I'm calling Judge Judy, people. Now.

Haha, here we go. According to Wikipedia (I know, I know): She admitted to using LSD, heroin and crack cocaine, and said she began recreational drug use while attending the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (we have to assume this was sometime in the late 60's). Cole continued to spiral out of control - including one incident where she refused to evacuate a burning building, and another where her young son Robert nearly drowned in the family swimming pool while she and her first husband, the late Reverend Marvin Yancy, were on a drug binge. She did eventually enter rehab in 1983.

By my count, that's 3 Grammys and 2 American Music Awards she needs to give back.

Lily gets the block for the win!

Look for a Natalie Cole Retro/Greatest Hits/New Album to come out - she accomplished what she wanted and that's for everyone to talk about HER. I'm sorry, but just because someone cleaned the "POT" still doesn't give it any more room to call the "KETTLE" Black!

Keith Richards, Brian Ferry, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Kurt Cobain …

Just sayin….

Don't forget Lindsay Lohan, Don Johnson and Eddie Murphy, TDG. Oh, and Paris "Stars are Blind And People Who Buy This CD are Deaf" Hilton.

Natalie Cole is right. it doesnt matter what talent she has. by giving her grammys they're making being a crackhead acceptable. Just like giving Jamie Lynn Spears a KIDS show when she's about to be an un-wed teen mother. no wonder this world's going to hell.

Jamie Lynn wasn't pregnant when she got the show. What's your point? Should they have hired a psychic to predict it would happen?

And your also forgetting Natalie was a crackhead, why isn't she putting her foot where her mouth is and giving it back?

Sorry, she already did that.

She is jealous because Amy has a better voice than her

WOW KARLA I LOVE YOU

I don't think Amy Winehouse was deserving simply because her music is crap! It has nothing to do wither her being a crackheaded herion addict. She's average at best as a vocalist, and her songs and arrangements are shit. It's that simple, there were much more deserving nominees that night. The Grammys is such bullshit and polotics.

And by the way, all of you talking crap about Natalie Cole she's been clean for many years, and got her act together, and she's never made any songs defying getting dried out (i.e. Rehab) or made any songs glorifying the decedant behavior of drug use, like Ms. Winehouse.

ONE IN A MILLION IS WHAT YOU ARE riceroni WITH YOUR OPINION ABOUT AMY.
