Natalie Cole Criticizes Amy Winehouse
Posted on February 12, 2008 at 11:24 am (PST)
Natalie Cole told People on Sunday night that she thinks the Amy Winehouse win send "a bad message" and that "it’s not right for her to be able to have her cake and eat it too … She needs to get herself together." Cole clarified: You don’t get to just do your drugs and go onstage and get rewarded." Natalie survived a bout with drugs and alcohol in the early 1980s. Amen sister.
Cole, as it happens, won her first Grammy back in 1975 as Best New Artist, as Winehouse did Sunday night.
Kelly Osbourne has introduced Amy to an American photographer named Blake Wood (pictured above). Kelly says Blake II is a drug-free vegetarian.
A pal revealed:
“Kelly asked Blake to look after Amy and keep her on the straight and narrow. They’re staying in the hotel together and they might all move into Osbourne’s place when Amy finishes her recovery. He has met Amy’s family and they all really like him.”
Maybe Amy will get straight by becoming addicted to intimate relations like Lindsay Lohan, of course Lindsay seems to prefer all of the above again.

I’m glad somebody else said it. If she had any other job, she’d be fired.
If she was a baseball player she’d be suspended.
She’s a singer, so she gets a ton of Grammies.
It sends a terrible message.

Thank you Natalie for saying what i hope many others believe as well about the Grammy’s awarding a performer for totally unacceptible behavior AND recording an “Up Yours” song about it! Time the entertainment industry did a turn around, the public is sick to death of all the druggies, drunks, and Ho’s in your industry…but to award them?….Bad Taste
