Her BEHAVIOR wasn't rewarded, Natalie. Her WORK and TALENT was rewarded. As the Grammy's are not awards based on the artists' conduct but their body of work, popularity, and how successful and how well received their music is. I really didn't understand Natalie's beef with Amy winning the Grammy's. It wasn't like Amy was going around fucking up shit for the hell of it. She was an addict, which is a disease. Amy Winehouse was the BEST part of that years Grammy's and I'm super glad she got the love & recognition she *deserved*! RIP Amy ~
+Black3y3dAng3L I agree with all you wrote, Amy was the highlight of the evening, and as you commented, it was so nice to see all the love she was receiving when she gave her acceptance speech; they didn't care if she was an addict, they loved her for who she was and were so happy for her success!
AS L Thanks :) Just saying, what with the current circumstances I kind of feel bad about coming down on Natalie Cole. Seems that drugs (may've) been the cause of both of these's artists' untimely death.
+K Butler Unlike, Cole whos entire career could NEVER compare to Amy's brilliant career. Natalie relied on her father's name,music in order to be something. Amy was the REAL talent between the 2 and far more talented by a million miles

I think you all need to ease up on Natalie. She won a song for refusing to go to rehab people. That wasnt just music she was awarded for. She was rewarded for refusing to seek help and over come her demons-and found away to let people enjoy her struggle through song. Im with Natalie on this one. No doubt Amy Winehouse is a talented woman but the award should have gone to someone who wasnt singing about giving in to crack. and drink. Only for the sake of her LIFE.
Natalie Cole is a sweetheart & knew what she was talking about didn’t she? She wanted Amy to get shut out & get help. She didnt & died from it. What good are those awards now. Worth NOTHING!!! Her life was worth more than that.
Amy can get away with it... her music was THAT good. The drug addiction has nothing to do with it. Her music is outstandig, back to black is simple art. Amy wrote her own lyrics and brought life to them. I do understand what natalie is trying to imply, but no one is perfect and if your work is briliant you can get away with anything...

Amy is Amy, and no one can be like Amy never ever again. Amy is one and only. She has a beautyfull color of voice, she has unique movement on stage, she has sense for humor on stage.. AMY IS FEMALE ELVIS PRESLEY! No Cole can be never like her(Amy), and if it is King Nat Cole good musicmaker, don't know his daughter which critisises Amy, but I know she wouldn't be that good as Amy NEVER!
I understand where Natalie Cole is coming from. May she continue to rest in peace. As far as Amy's song, she's not the first to write a song about refusing rehab or going to the doctor and finding solace in music or solace in the person they love, check out Ray Charles, "I Don't Need No Doctor" Second, the song was originally intended to be a sad blue-sy number, it was Ronson who decided to give it an upbeat sound to it. Third, the song was written when she was 22 and before she tried hard drugs. Third, Amy wasn't able to attend the awards ceremony because of the drug issue, and you have other artists talking about her when she wasn't there, I wonder if they would have said the same thing if she were present at the awards ceremony. She did steal the show from a satellite performance of all things, that girl had presence. Fourth, there was way more to Amy than just that novelty song. The fact that it was her biggest hit says more about us as a society than it does about her. Sadly, after these grammy wins, people began to publicly criticize her, not just everyday people, but celebrities and even the UN stated that Amy was a bad example for perpetuating the use of drugs, smh we all know who are the ones that benefif the most from drugs, be it legal or illegal. You guys were simply trying to use her as a scapegoat. And to everyone who ridiculed her just to make yourselves feel better about yourselves, shame on you. Go enjoy your boring Adele, who out of coincidence decides to release an album the same year that Amy's documentary came out smh. Or artists who need 5-10 songwriters for a song or celebrities who are more concern with having a strong social media following because their talent can't speak for themselves. And to the Kardashians and anyone trying to be a model by posting selfies on instagram, smh look up Naomi Campbell or Cindy Crawford, those are models. Rant over.
Natalie, come on Amy is brilliant. Probably an icon in the making. I know, it's terrible she's messed up with drugs and drink. Let's help her. She deserved these awards, without doubt. You have to honour this talent. I hope it's not too late, for Amy. Amy please get well.

You don't reward bad behavior, but you reward talent. That, I think, is what a Grammy win is about and Amy had a ridiculous amount of talent and she deserved that win.

She wasn't "slamming" anybody. She was worried for Amy. Natalie Cole used to be a hardcore addict so she spoke from experience. And she wasn't saying Amy didn't deserve to be recognized for her music. Of course Winehouse was talented. Natalie was saying EVERYTHING should be put on hold until this problem is solved. Otherwise the consequences could be deadly. Unfortunately she was right. As for Natalie Cole, lots of talented artists don't write their own music. People can be gifted in a variety of ways like interpreting and delivering great material.
+David Elle I wasn't aware that Natalie was a Physician with the authority to make those calls, EVERYTHING should be put on hold and Amy shouldn't have received the rewards she worked for and earned...BULLSHIT!
that was an ignorant statement to make about Natalie because you dont agree with her cartitin63...Natalie is making more money from her own royalties than she could ever make...this woman has been making classic music since the 70's. And she also talked in depth about her own drug addiction in the interview and that is why she said it, she felt that winning was more encouraging for amy and kids to stay addicts or become them and there would be no consequences.
- She never wrote a line of the lyrics - She got a start only because of the fame of her father because there were. and are, much better female singer than her - The LEGEND Tony Bennett totally ignored her for his famous Duets album, but Gaga and Amy were there... And the best... Tony Bennett wanted to invite a singer for his birthday show. Cole or Winehouse? Besides that, Amy's talent is a gazillions years away from Cole's. That comes from Bennett himself who said Amy's talent was in the same category as Fitzgerald and Holiday. And if someone knows what he's talking about when it comes to Jazz, that's Tony Bennett... czcams.com/video/mWHRrkxTZG4/video.html
@@DiabloOutdoors not true at all, she wrote some of her songs. If she did not have any talent, the legend of Nat King Cole would not help her either. May she and Amy both rest on peace.
I don't completely disagree. My point is only that she was speaking from experience, and unfortunately, she was right. I don't think she was dissing Amy. She just knew(from experience) what a deadly path Winehouse was on, and would have preferred to see her receive help instead of Grammys. That being said, major awards like the Grammys, Oscars, etc, are also very political. Don't count on seeing Mel Gibson accept another Oscar. Not because of his acting career, but because of his lifestyle.
that's what i call a cynical, hypocrite and jealous attitude. "bad behaviour should not be rewarded". it hasn't been, natty. it's her work that has been rewarded, for a talent you'll never have.

+Jay West She was a hater in this case, and why I will never understand. I notice that a clip of Natalie further slamming Amy on The View has disappeared from You Tube...strange.
Wow the State Department didnt let Amy travel to the US because of an arrest for cannabis in Norway. Now cannabis is legal in probably 8 states for recreational use, and about 30 states for medicinal use. Really pathetic they would not let Amy travel to the States for something so frivolous, and petty.
I have to admit I was surprised that Natalie spoke like that, but then I thought, Natalie has been through it and she knows that she was recognized and all it did was give her more money to snort, shoot or blow. I just wish she worded it differently but I think her intent is for Amy's good. I was hoping that Amy would be TOTALLY sober cause I love her to death, but evidently she had a little something intoxicating, lol. But she is the best, no doubt, earned every one she got. PERIOD.

rehabrepeat Amy is very open about herself, thru her personal life and thru her music-art there are no secrets the pain and wounds run deep and in a manner of speaking, Amy is a role model it would be wonderful if she evolved to become a model of even a higher achievement, without sacrificing her genius & edginess in the process we are a culture who thrives on a frenzy of ritualistic voyeurism we also are here to love and support each other when and how we can, as i do Amy, as i do you
I really became a big admiror of Amy, because of her talent and her vulnerable soul she shows in her performances. N.C. did a great insult to all intelligent admirors of good music to claim, that their should be a censorship of morality, concerning the lifestyle of an artist, ignoringt the art by itself, shame on her!
In the end, Natalie was 100% right. It doesn't matter that the award is about music, the point is when you elevate someone up who has a lot of problems, they're descent is only going to get worse. Natalie spoke from experience,
That’s what happens a Phoenix raise from the ash, a thousand eyes smolder in jealousy as you are flying pass. Amy Had problems but it wasn’t her place to shame her instead reach out and help her maybe they’d both be with us today.
And now I think I just discovered why the Grammys decided to show Miss Cole so little respect and fanfare during the 2016 memoriam/tribute portions of the show... sadly; it appears as though she may have burnt a bridge or two with these comments. Having said that... regardless of any sour feelings, she certainly deserved far more respect in regards to honoring her contributions and untimely death, than that of which the grammys gave her... which was barely a whisper. :(

Yes, l agree, HOWEVER (and this is big), nobody said anything about Whitney Houston, and she was just as big a druggie as Amy with just as ''bad behavior'' We all know the wins are supposed to be about talent, but it's really about the bottom line. Amy was SO talented! Just listen to her singing on her ''Frank'' album. Grammys are NOT about behavior and they never were. No disrespect to Natalie.

I don't think she's making fun of it, she's telling her experience, and at the time she wasn't a drug addict, she was a heavy drinker. And she went on to resent how popular that song was because of the fact that she did eventually go to rehab a few times. I'm sober and went to rehab and I in no way feel like she's taunting me and what I did. It's just a situation she went through and as she put it "I got a silly song out of it so whatever". It says more about our society that that song was her greatest hit, honestly. And Anton, I fully agree with you. She was a massive, kind hearted talent and even in her worst times she was amazing. And shit, at least she was IN REHAB when she attended the Grammys. If anything Natalie should have been happy about that, having been in the struggle before.
I will always cackle at this moment, for the simple fact that this lady really sat here, and judged Amy for battling substance abuse, and making art around it to cope with her struggles, whilst also having a past of the same struggles herself but she’s dead now so

@FunWithStuttering Um, how is Natalie Cole a Jealous Has Been With A Failed Career? Natalie Cole is a legend, who is heavily sampled. She has Multiple Platinum albums, and many grammys...ppl are getting grammys like they are lolipops these days and I am sure its upsetting to those who worked in an industry where it was hard to even win 1. Also, Amy is sort of a one hit wonder right now.....so she's the has been hah. Amy have 5 grammys and been high and idle for 6 yrs and that proves nats point.
These comments are shortsighted. Natalie was complaining, because almost all of her songs are about addiction, and not wanting to fight them. Her biggest hit is about not wanting to go to rehab. So yes, they are giving her an award for her body of work, which is basically saying “I don’t need help. I’m just fine.” And look how it ended.

Yes, as soon as I saw on the internet page before I get to my email, that she had passed, I felt bad, not because of what I had revealed about my feelings about the Amy incident, just I used to be a big fan, and obviously she touched my life in several ways as it turned out. I never hated her, just what she did...It's sad no matter what, as several people have said, now they're both gone. The last time I saw her on TV, she was on an episode of The Real Housewives of New York, and she looked horrible, skinny as a rail, sagging skin around her neck, just ill. She sang the same as always, but I could tell something was wrong...She's in my prayers, and I have a feeling she taught me something, can't put my finger on it now, but she was, since I was a teen in my life so to speak...I even copied her dance moves lol
@AztecPrincess84: Well said!Britney Thinvoice does not have slightly a hint of Amys talent, Amy writed her songs and the lyrics by herself, so she just isn't simply an interpretor, she also is a poet and a songwriter, which is not the fact in the case of N.C. but also either unfortunately in the case of Christina Aguileira, who could sing Britney against evry wall.
Natalie was absolutely correct. Amy, who was a brilliant talent, was in terrible shape and one of her biggest hits was a song about not needing rehab. It almost seems as if Amy's fans enjoyed her misery and pain. Natalie was clearly someone aware of the damages of drug addiction and an industry (and far too many fans) who cared more about the business and not the person.
i doubt if natalie cole is jealous being an 8 time award winner herself, songwriter and gifted singer...Natalie is very accomplished and you cant take her successes away from her. I dont think that what she said about amy was 100% accurate but she had some points. I think that Amy deserved every award that she won for her music.
She never ever wrote one line of the lyrics. b esides that she lived on the fame of her father and the marketing machine. There are and were, many other female singers much better than her. So true that Tony Bennett totally ignored her for his famous Duest album. But Gaga and Amy were there.. That alone says a lot. But even better, Tony Bennett wanted to invite a singer for his birthday show. Gues who it was...Cole or Amy? czcams.com/video/mWHRrkxTZG4/video.html
Natalie, I used to be a fan of yours until all the bashing you have done about Amy's drug addictions. If anyone, you should show even more empathy becacuse you know all too well how hard it is to kick a serious addiction to hard drugs. Instead, you choose too keep harping on how the Grammy's shouldn't have given Amy her awards. This just makes you sound like a jealous and bitter old woman. Instead of bashing Amy start an antidrug campaign. RIP Amy. I miss you.
u know utubers amy whinehouse couldnt carry ms. coles pantyhose....ther is no comparison between talent my friends...unfortunatly drugs has no boundaries.. it has affected the most talented artist and us regular folk....but class cannot be brought nor affected by any amount of awards.....lets enjoy both there music!!!!!!!!!
Well sometimes the truth hurts and ultimately, Natalie was right! I don't think the main point is over whether Amy "deserved" the grammy, but rather the fact her drug problem was overlooked due to her talent. She was also surrounded by enablers. If Amy had had people like Natalie close to her, things may have turned out differently. I would've loved to see her live and what other music she would've written had she lived longer. RIP x
Grammys are awarded for singing,not for behaviour.That comment just didn't make sense. Also if anything,the media's drug stories almost overshadowed her talent at that point.
And reading between the lines I got the impression, N.C. was disappointed, that such a talented caucasian Soul singer like Amy even exists, that is the real reason why N.C. prefers Beyonce and Rihanna.
solitudinarian no... Not actually. She's referring to Amy having been rewarded for the song "rehab" which taunts and makes fun of drug rehabilitatiin... But of course the messie media will twist it to make her look like a hater... When she's actually concerned being an addict hersel, about the message that it sends. And she's right. : Rehab Lyrics They tried to make me go to rehab But I said no, no, no Yes I've been black but when I come back You'll know, know, know I ain't got the time And if my daddy thinks I'm fine Just try to make me go to rehab But I won't go, go, go I'd rather be at home with Ray I ain't got seventy days 'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway
at least amy succeeded on her own sleeve ,natural born singer she was and her first album shows just what energy this girl had so much soul in her nobody did that for her ,drug problem lol!who didnt have that problem once or still does drinking same thing but to think she doesnt deserve what she worked hard for since she was a child gee maybe there was some jealous boo boos there that night.r.i.p.amy
+benjamin6492 Amy is NOT a singer dude! LMAO! Or I should say was not. That girl sounded like shit! Natalie can sing her ass off. I would have heckled that beehive drug user too if I was there - she did not learn her lesson that is why she died in her flat. She was always drunk or on drugs on stage. She and Whitney were a damn joke and both passed from DRUG USE!
+benjamin6492 A friend of mine suggested that Natalie pulled that shit because she was jealous, I never thought of that...maybe so, I can't imagine the reason she got so heated up about Amy winning 5 Grammy's in spite of the fact that she was an addict with more soul in her than Natalie had in her fingernail.
people only think of her as untalented because she became a drug addict so shhe was paintined with that brush but drug addicts are human beings with flaws but also with incedible talent that is overshadowed by bad talk but she could sing better then some others out there ,love to see some pick up a guitar no other sound and just sing and sound as good as her,not an easy feat for the new generation of singers except adele and pink

Ya see what happend? she was right all along. we had to kiss amy goodbye. we failed her as friends and fans. we should have supported her when she went to rehab instead of watching her deteriorate while we indulged ourselves by listening to her troubled life.on recordings.
Agree sparks...so true, she was just stating an opinion based on her own experience...she is 57 years old and a champion of rehab herself, she was not being malicious...
I was disappointed by Ms. Cole's comments here. Ms. Winehouse was being rewarded for her music-just as Ms. Cole was in the 70's, in spite of her vices. I feel that she missed the point here, and while she acknowledged her own shortcomings, was wrong for down-playing Amy's apparent talents.

Mykalroze, saying "kanye west'album is better than Amy's, is a blasphemy, Amy is a singer (a beautiful singer), Kanye only recits phrases. Please, don't be uncultivates. And a message to Mrs. Cole: Baby please, go back home to continue living of Daddy's royalties. Did you remember when you was a junky too?
The Grammy's is about the music. Her personal antics are not a deciding factor in her nomination. Winehouse's music was good, that's what got her the win. You can't deny her talent.

@steph10992000 I have to respectfully disagree. She wasn't necessarily slamming Amy. But she certainly was being rather hypocritical. I don't know this for a fact. But I'm sure Miss Natalie won an award or two during the years she struggled with heroin addiction. And I'm sure she would be highly offended if someone said she won for her bad behavior and not for her music, talent and hard work.

Mathew walentowicz Natalie Cole may not have won that many in one night, but she won 9 Grammys in her career. And was nominated 21 times. Receiving her last Grammy in 2009. She had the talent and did co-write and co-produce a lot of her material.
Wow, Natalie is 58 years old? You mean she is almost 60?! She looks daggum fine! I don't mean to be negative, but she looks better now at her age than Winehouse, someone about thirty years her junior.
NATALIE IS JEALOUS AMY WON WHILE DOING DRUGS & SHE COULDN'T DO IT HERSELF WHEN SHE WAS USING DRUGS LOL AMY'S THE BEST FEMALE SINGER EVER NATALIE JUST SURVIVED OF HER FATHERS NAME.

Well, girls and boys, we are here, fighting between ourselves, but Natalie is in her house, calmly, preparing her next speech in TV to talk about Amy, and Amy is quiet (or not?) in her rehab clinic, enjoying her five prizes, calling her imprisoned husband Blake, and foreign to our dispute. That each one has his opinion! A greeting to everybody... including to Mykalroze!
this comment went to N.C.'s statement, who in my opinion when reading between the lines prefers Beyonce *puke* and Rihanna *doublepuke* cause she cannot stand the fact,that a caucasian soul singer at such high quality even exits. Quite chauvinistic in my opinion!Would be interested to hear N.C. (true) opinion bout Annie Lennox,who was the best caucasian soulsinger since Amy arrived. Music and art have nothing to do with rolemodels and morality.I am appreciating some parts of N.C.'s music though.
Absolutely shameful conduct by Natalie Cole. You can see what drugs did to her judgement and decision-making abilities. Mind you, if it hadn't been for the great Nat King Cole she wouldn't have had a career in the first place. As for the comment "You don't play that way", well, probably every great artist that ever lived used drugs -- ONGOINGLY, FOR YEARS. In fact there are enough artists currently using drugs to have ensured much more "even-handed" media coverage than took place here.
WOW ... Wow .. how come I never knew about this til today?? Sad. I love them both, Amy was my fav tho. So surprised Natalie WOULD NOT understand and judge. smh
LEGIT SAM 6IX I was thinking kinda the same thing, how could Natalie not understand especially since she was in a very similar position, just cuz she wasn’t recognize when she was doing drugs back her day, that doesn’t mean Other people like Amy shouldn’t.
I think everyone taking what Natalie meant the wrong way, So Natalie had success at the start of musical career on drugs as well So I think she was saying it’s a longer road to recovery when you’re being celebrated and have major drug issues...This was not a vindictive or bad woman Natalie had been down that road.
Respect to Natalie but I disagree. I believe in giving legends their flowers while they’re still with us, not waiting until they’re dead to recognize their greatness.
@krabbyappleton Natalie accomplished plenty in the music business, she cleaned herself up and is still here. You clearly are ignorant to her accomplishments. You can preach about self-righteousness all you like, but at the end of the day, doing drugs doesn't make anyone's life turn out well, but you are entitled to think otherwise. I think life is a lot more important than awards.

natile was just trying to get someone to see what was happening to amy ,maybe get amy to see,but amy did have talent ,she had it since she was a child ,it was a natural thing to amy ,the drugs just came in and messed everything up for amy ,plus she did have a bad habit of picking the wrong guy
anyone spewing hate, or calling this Lady out of her name will answer for it. She simply stated her opinion. Who's to say she didnt try to reach out to Amy....So.... you can go do something else...kick rocks!
You want to say: "Amy is so young, so, she cannot win 5 Grammy, though she deserves them". Does not it look like an arbitrariness? The musical prizes must be contaminated either by any condition foreign to the artistic fact, (age or liffestyle), ONLY THE MUSICAL QUALITY. Herbie Hancock has been rewarded by this wrong criterion: He received a Grammy for an album that was not the best of the nominated ones, only because Academy forgot him for 50 years.
And I think it is a very cheap, doubtful and beyond that a discriminating opinion bout fans of an artist, that they would appreciate and glorify the lifestyle of an artist, only because appreciating the talent and the music! I totally disagree, that artists are responsible of the way of lifestyle their fans choose. That is a question of their personal intellect and sense for reality.
Natalie, as a fan you hid your addiction for many, many, many years. If you are calling the kettle black, I don't know who is. Remember the year Gun's & Roses won? Duff and I believe Slash were so drunk the could hardly say a word. What about Kayne West he was so drunk when he took charge over Taylor Swift? If you really feel that way give back your Grammy I believe you were not even there because you were some place getting high. I'm a little young to remember the full story

Most of those you mentioned have also had troubled times and we supported them. Plse add poor Rory Gallagher to your list, he had a drink problem which killed him, and also include another icon Jimi Hendrix. Not one is perfect and Amy is certainly not perfect.

But, Mykalroze, Why you don't try to be a bit more objective? Amy is not there because she makes the news, but cause she has been the best singer of the year WITHOUT DISCUSSION, though her musical success unfortunately has been accompanied by her disastrous personal life, which I don't share, but I don't judge either. If, even with her problems, she has been rewarded, other one is that the academy does not still have alternative that to recognize the reality. Recognize it you.

I'm really sorry Mykalroze, but you cannot compare the two artist's works. They are completely different genres and Amy is most original, Kanye, although good at what he does, is not unique as he is rapping which thousands do today. Amy created a sound all of her own. Bringing back a type of music that most would think not hip at all. She does deserve it. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and critique. See it's for me to critique your comments but what that does it really mean to you?
Please, do you guys really think Natalie Cole is jealous of Amy Winehouse. Come on...Get REAL! Cole is almost 60...she doesn't want anything Winehouse has.
Her BEHAVIOR wasn't rewarded, Natalie. Her WORK and TALENT was rewarded. As the Grammy's are not awards based on the artists' conduct but their body of work, popularity, and how successful and how well received their music is. I really didn't understand Natalie's beef with Amy winning the Grammy's. It wasn't like Amy was going around fucking up shit for the hell of it. She was an addict, which is a disease. Amy Winehouse was the BEST part of that years Grammy's and I'm super glad she got the love & recognition she *deserved*! RIP Amy ~
+Black3y3dAng3L Amen!
AS L :*(
+Black3y3dAng3L I agree with all you wrote, Amy was the highlight of the evening, and as you commented, it was so nice to see all the love she was receiving when she gave her acceptance speech; they didn't care if she was an addict, they loved her for who she was and were so happy for her success!
AS L Thanks :) Just saying, what with the current circumstances I kind of feel bad about coming down on Natalie Cole. Seems that drugs (may've) been the cause of both of these's artists' untimely death.
Black3y3dAng3L Well said!
Has anyone else seen the video of Amy Winehouse winning her Grammy? It's heart-melting, RIP
ODE one of the few videos that I have watched well over 100 times and never get tired of
no one awarded a mystery bad behavior, she was awarded for her singing.
+K Butler Unlike, Cole whos entire career could NEVER compare to Amy's brilliant career. Natalie relied on her father's name,music in order to be something. Amy was the REAL talent between the 2 and far more talented by a million miles

Yes I've been black but when I come back

Just try to make me go to rehab

Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
But I won't go, go, go
I'd rather be at home with Ray

What's That Line?
I think you all need to ease up on Natalie. She won a song for refusing to go to rehab people. That wasnt just music she was awarded for. She was rewarded for refusing to seek help and over come her demons-and found away to let people enjoy her struggle through song. Im with Natalie on this one. No doubt Amy Winehouse is a talented woman but the award should have gone to someone who wasnt singing about giving in to crack. and drink. Only for the sake of her LIFE.
JohnDaniB thank you!
Natalie Cole is a sweetheart & knew what she was talking about didn’t she? She wanted Amy to get shut out & get help. She didnt & died from it. What good are those awards now. Worth NOTHING!!! Her life was worth more than that.
Amy can get away with it... her music was THAT good. The drug addiction has nothing to do with it. Her music is outstandig, back to black is simple art. Amy wrote her own lyrics and brought life to them. I do understand what natalie is trying to imply, but no one is perfect and if your work is briliant you can get away with anything...
Not actually. She's referring to Amy having been rewarded for the song "rehab" which taunts and makes fun of drug rehabilitatiin... But of course the messie media will twist it to make her look like a hater... When she's actually concerned being an addict hersel, about the message that it sends. And she's right.
No news here... The media just wanted to make the story juicier....

Natalie favors Kenya Moore a little.
Amy is Amy, and no one can be like Amy never ever again. Amy is one and only. She has a beautyfull color of voice, she has unique movement on stage, she has sense for humor on stage..
AMY IS FEMALE ELVIS PRESLEY!
No Cole can be never like her(Amy), and if it is King Nat Cole good musicmaker, don't know his daughter which critisises Amy, but I know she wouldn't be that good as Amy NEVER!
I understand where Natalie Cole is coming from. May she continue to rest in peace. As far as Amy's song, she's not the first to write a song about refusing rehab or going to the doctor and finding solace in music or solace in the person they love, check out Ray Charles, "I Don't Need No Doctor" Second, the song was originally intended to be a sad blue-sy number, it was Ronson who decided to give it an upbeat sound to it. Third, the song was written when she was 22 and before she tried hard drugs. Third, Amy wasn't able to attend the awards ceremony because of the drug issue, and you have other artists talking about her when she wasn't there, I wonder if they would have said the same thing if she were present at the awards ceremony. She did steal the show from a satellite performance of all things, that girl had presence. Fourth, there was way more to Amy than just that novelty song. The fact that it was her biggest hit says more about us as a society than it does about her. Sadly, after these grammy wins, people began to publicly criticize her, not just everyday people, but celebrities and even the UN stated that Amy was a bad example for perpetuating the use of drugs, smh we all know who are the ones that benefif the most from drugs, be it legal or illegal. You guys were simply trying to use her as a scapegoat. And to everyone who ridiculed her just to make yourselves feel better about yourselves, shame on you. Go enjoy your boring Adele, who out of coincidence decides to release an album the same year that Amy's documentary came out smh. Or artists who need 5-10 songwriters for a song or celebrities who are more concern with having a strong social media following because their talent can't speak for themselves. And to the Kardashians and anyone trying to be a model by posting selfies on instagram, smh look up Naomi Campbell or Cindy Crawford, those are models. Rant over.
Natalie, come on Amy is brilliant. Probably an icon in the making. I know, it's terrible she's messed up with drugs and drink. Let's help her.
She deserved these awards, without doubt. You have to honour this talent.
I hope it's not too late, for Amy.
Amy please get well.

She wasn't "slamming" anybody. She was worried for Amy. Natalie Cole used to be a hardcore addict so she spoke from experience. And she wasn't saying Amy didn't deserve to be recognized for her music. Of course Winehouse was talented. Natalie was saying EVERYTHING should be put on hold until this problem is solved. Otherwise the consequences could be deadly. Unfortunately she was right. As for Natalie Cole, lots of talented artists don't write their own music. People can be gifted in a variety of ways like interpreting and delivering great material.
+srvrip41 - Well that is why Amy is dead! She and Whitney both did NOT learn their lesson - so they are dead and gone from DRUGS!
+David Elle I wasn't aware that Natalie was a Physician with the authority to make those calls, EVERYTHING should be put on hold and Amy shouldn't have received the rewards she worked for and earned...BULLSHIT!
that was an ignorant statement to make about Natalie because you dont agree with her cartitin63...Natalie is making more money from her own royalties than she could ever make...this woman has been making classic music since the 70's. And she also talked in depth about her own drug addiction in the interview and that is why she said it, she felt that winning was more encouraging for amy and kids to stay addicts or become them and there would be no consequences.
- She never wrote a line of the lyrics
- She got a start only because of the fame of her father because there were. and are, much better female singer than her
- The LEGEND Tony Bennett totally ignored her for his famous Duets album, but Gaga and Amy were there...
And the best... Tony Bennett wanted to invite a singer for his birthday show. Cole or Winehouse? Besides that, Amy's talent is a gazillions years away from Cole's. That comes from Bennett himself who said Amy's talent was in the same category as Fitzgerald and Holiday. And if someone knows what he's talking about when it comes to Jazz, that's Tony Bennett...
czcams.com/video/mWHRrkxTZG4/video.html
@@DiabloOutdoors not true at all, she wrote some of her songs.
If she did not have any talent, the legend of Nat King Cole would not help her either.
May she and Amy both rest on peace.
I don't completely disagree. My point is only that she was speaking from experience, and unfortunately, she was right. I don't think she was dissing Amy. She just knew(from experience) what a deadly path Winehouse was on, and would have preferred to see her receive help instead of Grammys.
That being said, major awards like the Grammys, Oscars, etc, are also very political. Don't count on seeing Mel Gibson accept another Oscar. Not because of his acting career, but because of his lifestyle.
She was right
How so?
that's what i call a cynical, hypocrite and jealous attitude. "bad behaviour should not be rewarded". it hasn't been, natty. it's her work that has been rewarded, for a talent you'll never have.

Natalie was being a hater here. Don't know why she said this, and also said Rihanna should have gotten the award. Really? Rihanna!?
+Jay West She was a hater in this case, and why I will never understand. I notice that a clip of Natalie further slamming Amy on The View has disappeared from You Tube...strange.
Jay West Weird because Natalie was an addict years ago too.
She's dead now because of it too. She died from hepatitis complications.
***** I know. I like her music.
Wow the State Department didnt let Amy travel to the US because of an arrest for cannabis in Norway. Now cannabis is legal in probably 8 states for recreational use, and about 30 states for medicinal use. Really pathetic they would not let Amy travel to the States for something so frivolous, and petty.
I have to admit I was surprised that Natalie spoke like that, but then I thought, Natalie has been through it and she knows that she was recognized and all it did was give her more money to snort, shoot or blow. I just wish she worded it differently but I think her intent is for Amy's good. I was hoping that Amy would be TOTALLY sober cause I love her to death, but evidently she had a little something intoxicating, lol. But she is the best, no doubt, earned every one she got. PERIOD.

Royce Mosley Exactly! But people didn’t want to see it that way. Maybe if Amy Winehouse had taken things more seriously she would be here still
rehabrepeat
Amy is very open about herself, thru her personal life and thru her music-art
there are no secrets
the pain and wounds run deep
and in a manner of speaking, Amy is a role model
it would be wonderful if she evolved to become a model of even a higher achievement, without sacrificing her genius & edginess in the process
we are a culture who thrives on a frenzy of ritualistic voyeurism
we also are here to love and support each other when and how we can, as i do Amy, as i do you
I really became a big admiror of Amy, because of her talent and her vulnerable soul she shows in her performances. N.C. did a great insult to all intelligent admirors of good music to claim, that their should be a censorship of morality, concerning the lifestyle of an artist, ignoringt the art by itself, shame on her!
In the end, Natalie was 100% right. It doesn't matter that the award is about music, the point is when you elevate someone up who has a lot of problems, they're descent is only going to get worse. Natalie spoke from experience,
I thought she won based on her talent. Her addiction should not have been brought into this.
That’s what happens a Phoenix raise from the ash, a thousand eyes smolder in jealousy as you are flying pass.
Amy Had problems but it wasn’t her place to shame her instead reach out and help her maybe they’d both be with us today.
And now I think I just discovered why the Grammys decided to show Miss Cole so little respect and fanfare during the 2016 memoriam/tribute portions of the show... sadly; it appears as though she may have burnt a bridge or two with these comments. Having said that... regardless of any sour feelings, she certainly deserved far more respect in regards to honoring her contributions and untimely death, than that of which the grammys gave her... which was barely a whisper. :(
@CameronCourts cole saying winehouse not deserving to win the grammys is like a crackhead who has eaten many toffee crisps telling another crackhead they're not allowed to eat toffee crisps coz they're a crackhead. now that's what i call hypocrisy.

Yes, l agree, HOWEVER (and this is big), nobody said anything about Whitney Houston, and she was just as big a druggie as Amy with just as ''bad behavior'' We all know the wins are supposed to be about talent, but it's really about the bottom line. Amy was SO talented! Just listen to her singing on her ''Frank'' album. Grammys are NOT about behavior and they never were. No disrespect to Natalie.

I don't think she's making fun of it, she's telling her experience, and at the time she wasn't a drug addict, she was a heavy drinker. And she went on to resent how popular that song was because of the fact that she did eventually go to rehab a few times. I'm sober and went to rehab and I in no way feel like she's taunting me and what I did. It's just a situation she went through and as she put it "I got a silly song out of it so whatever". It says more about our society that that song was her greatest hit, honestly.
And Anton, I fully agree with you. She was a massive, kind hearted talent and even in her worst times she was amazing. And shit, at least she was IN REHAB when she attended the Grammys. If anything Natalie should have been happy about that, having been in the struggle before.
RIGHT ON!
I will always cackle at this moment, for the simple fact that this lady really sat here, and judged Amy for battling substance abuse, and making art around it to cope with her struggles, whilst also having a past of the same struggles herself but she’s dead now so
Natalie should sing only in funerals! LOL

@FunWithStuttering Um, how is Natalie Cole a Jealous Has Been With A Failed Career? Natalie Cole is a legend, who is heavily sampled. She has Multiple Platinum albums, and many grammys...ppl are getting grammys like they are lolipops these days and I am sure its upsetting to those who worked in an industry where it was hard to even win 1. Also, Amy is sort of a one hit wonder right now.....so she's the has been hah. Amy have 5 grammys and been high and idle for 6 yrs and that proves nats point.
BTW, he wanted to invite someone to sing on stage with him for his birtday show. Guess who it was....
These comments are shortsighted. Natalie was complaining, because almost all of her songs are about addiction, and not wanting to fight them.
Her biggest hit is about not wanting to go to rehab.
So yes, they are giving her an award for her body of work, which is basically saying “I don’t need help. I’m just fine.” And look how it ended.
hypocrisy to the max...

Yes, as soon as I saw on the internet page before I get to my email, that she had passed, I felt bad, not because of what I had revealed about my feelings about the Amy incident, just I used to be a big fan, and obviously she touched my life in several ways as it turned out. I never hated her, just what she did...It's sad no matter what, as several people have said, now they're both gone.
The last time I saw her on TV, she was on an episode of The Real Housewives of New York, and she looked horrible, skinny as a rail, sagging skin around her neck, just ill. She sang the same as always, but I could tell something was wrong...She's in my prayers, and I have a feeling she taught me something, can't put my finger on it now, but she was, since I was a teen in my life so to speak...I even copied her dance moves lol
@AztecPrincess84: Well said!Britney Thinvoice does not have slightly a hint of Amys talent, Amy writed her songs and the lyrics by herself, so she just isn't simply an interpretor, she also is a poet and a songwriter, which is not the fact in the case of N.C. but also either unfortunately in the case of Christina Aguileira, who could sing Britney against evry wall.
SHE KEPT IT A BEAN AND ERRBODY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN LOL
I say let lose Billy Bob thornton on Natalie Cole and that might loosen her up so she can relax and enjoy Amy's music
Natalie, you are just being plainly envious!
All of the greatest performers of all time had a stint with drugs, does that mean that they were less talented ? No I think it meant they were HUMAN
Natalie was absolutely correct. Amy, who was a brilliant talent, was in terrible shape and one of her biggest hits was a song about not needing rehab. It almost seems as if Amy's fans enjoyed her misery and pain. Natalie was clearly someone aware of the damages of drug addiction and an industry (and far too many fans) who cared more about the business and not the person.
i doubt if natalie cole is jealous being an 8 time award winner herself, songwriter and gifted singer...Natalie is very accomplished and you cant take her successes away from her. I dont think that what she said about amy was 100% accurate but she had some points. I think that Amy deserved every award that she won for her music.
She never ever wrote one line of the lyrics. b esides that she lived on the fame of her father and the marketing machine. There are and were, many other female singers much better than her. So true that Tony Bennett totally ignored her for his famous Duest album. But Gaga and Amy were there.. That alone says a lot. But even better, Tony Bennett wanted to invite a singer for his birthday show. Gues who it was...Cole or Amy?
czcams.com/video/mWHRrkxTZG4/video.html
Natalie, I used to be a fan of yours until all the bashing you have done about Amy's drug addictions. If anyone, you should show even more empathy becacuse you know all too well how hard it is to kick a serious addiction to hard drugs. Instead, you choose too keep harping on how the Grammy's shouldn't have given Amy her awards. This just makes you sound like a jealous and bitter old woman. Instead of bashing Amy start an antidrug campaign. RIP Amy. I miss you.
u know utubers amy whinehouse couldnt carry ms. coles pantyhose....ther is no comparison between talent my friends...unfortunatly drugs has no boundaries.. it has affected the most talented artist and us regular folk....but class cannot be brought nor affected by any amount of awards.....lets enjoy both there music!!!!!!!!!
Someone wasn’t working their steps at that point
Natalie cole was jealous plain and simple.
Well sometimes the truth hurts and ultimately, Natalie was right! I don't think the main point is over whether Amy "deserved" the grammy, but rather the fact her drug problem was overlooked due to her talent. She was also surrounded by enablers. If Amy had had people like Natalie close to her, things may have turned out differently. I would've loved to see her live and what other music she would've written had she lived longer. RIP x
Grammys are awarded for singing,not for behaviour.That comment just didn't make sense.
Also if anything,the media's drug stories almost overshadowed her talent at that point.
And reading between the lines I got the impression, N.C. was disappointed, that such a talented caucasian Soul singer like Amy even exists, that is the real reason why N.C. prefers Beyonce and Rihanna.

+benjamin6492 Amy is NOT a singer dude! LMAO! Or I should say was not. That girl sounded like shit! Natalie can sing her ass off. I would have heckled that beehive drug user too if I was there - she did not learn her lesson that is why she died in her flat. She was always drunk or on drugs on stage. She and Whitney were a damn joke and both passed from DRUG USE!
+benjamin6492 A friend of mine suggested that Natalie pulled that shit because she was jealous, I never thought of that...maybe so, I can't imagine the reason she got so heated up about Amy winning 5 Grammy's in spite of the fact that she was an addict with more soul in her than Natalie had in her fingernail.
people only think of her as untalented because she became a drug addict so shhe was paintined with that brush but drug addicts are human beings with flaws but also with incedible talent that is overshadowed by bad talk but she could sing better then some others out there ,love to see some pick up a guitar no other sound and just sing and sound as good as her,not an easy feat for the new generation of singers except adele and pink
benjamin6492 no... Not actually. She's referring to her having been rewarded for the song "rehab" which taunts and makes fun of drug rehabilitatiin... But of course the messie media will twist it to make her look like a hater... When she's actually concerned being an addict hersel, about the message that it sends. And she's right. :
Rehab Lyrics
They tried to make me go to rehab
But I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
But I won't go, go, go
I'd rather be at home with Ray
I ain't got seventy days
'Cause there's nothing, there's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr. Hathaway

What's That Line?
Ya see what happend? she was right all along. we had to kiss amy goodbye. we failed her as friends and fans. we should have supported her when she went to rehab instead of watching her deteriorate while we indulged ourselves by listening to her troubled life.on recordings.
Agree sparks...so true, she was just stating an opinion based on her own experience...she is 57 years old and a champion of rehab herself, she was not being malicious...
I was disappointed by Ms. Cole's comments here. Ms. Winehouse was being rewarded for her music-just as Ms. Cole was in the 70's, in spite of her vices. I feel that she missed the point here, and while she acknowledged her own shortcomings, was wrong for down-playing Amy's apparent talents.

Natalie who?
Also if you could only read this!!! She didn’t take a break during time she made Back to Black! If so she wouldn’t have won. It is what it is
Mykalroze, saying "kanye west'album is better than Amy's, is a blasphemy, Amy is a singer (a beautiful singer), Kanye only recits phrases. Please, don't be uncultivates. And a message to Mrs. Cole: Baby please, go back home to continue living of Daddy's royalties. Did you remember when you was a junky too?
Ok,Natalie did do coke and didn't hide it,but Natalie changed very much so and she's still performing.
The Grammy's is about the music. Her personal antics are not a deciding factor in her nomination. Winehouse's music was good, that's what got her the win. You can't deny her talent.

@FunWithStuttering also, don't forget that after this, Nat won yet another grammy.
@steph10992000 I have to respectfully disagree. She wasn't necessarily slamming Amy. But she certainly was being rather hypocritical. I don't know this for a fact. But I'm sure Miss Natalie won an award or two during the years she struggled with heroin addiction. And I'm sure she would be highly offended if someone said she won for her bad behavior and not for her music, talent and hard work.

I love Natalie but she is famous for being Nat king coles daughter amy has her own talent and she writes her own songs Natalie probs don't
She is jealous she never got 5 in one night
Mathew walentowicz Natalie Cole may not have won that many in one night, but she won 9 Grammys in her career. And was nominated 21 times. Receiving her last Grammy in 2009. She had the talent and did co-write and co-produce a lot of her material.
Wow, Natalie is 58 years old? You mean she is almost 60?! She looks daggum fine! I don't mean to be negative, but she looks better now at her age than Winehouse, someone about thirty years her junior.
NATALIE IS JEALOUS AMY WON WHILE DOING DRUGS & SHE COULDN'T DO IT HERSELF WHEN SHE WAS USING DRUGS LOL AMY'S THE BEST FEMALE SINGER EVER NATALIE JUST SURVIVED OF HER FATHERS NAME.

Well, girls and boys, we are here, fighting between ourselves, but Natalie is in her house, calmly, preparing her next speech in TV to talk about Amy, and Amy is quiet (or not?) in her rehab clinic, enjoying her five prizes, calling her imprisoned husband Blake, and foreign to our dispute. That each one has his opinion! A greeting to everybody... including to Mykalroze!
this comment went to N.C.'s statement, who in my opinion when reading between the lines prefers Beyonce *puke* and Rihanna *doublepuke* cause she cannot stand the fact,that a caucasian soul singer at such high quality even exits. Quite chauvinistic in my opinion!Would be interested to hear N.C. (true) opinion bout Annie Lennox,who was the best caucasian soulsinger since Amy arrived.
Music and art have nothing to do with rolemodels and morality.I am appreciating some parts of N.C.'s music though.
Absolutely shameful conduct by Natalie Cole. You can see what drugs did to her judgement and decision-making abilities. Mind you, if it hadn't been for the great Nat King Cole she wouldn't have had a career in the first place. As for the comment "You don't play that way", well, probably every great artist that ever lived used drugs -- ONGOINGLY, FOR YEARS. In fact there are enough artists currently using drugs to have ensured much more "even-handed" media coverage than took place here.
WOW ... Wow .. how come I never knew about this til today?? Sad. I love them both, Amy was my fav tho. So surprised Natalie WOULD NOT understand and judge. smh
LEGIT SAM 6IX I was thinking kinda the same thing, how could Natalie not understand especially since she was in a very similar position, just cuz she wasn’t recognize when she was doing drugs back her day, that doesn’t mean Other people like Amy shouldn’t.
I think everyone taking what Natalie meant the wrong way, So Natalie had success at the start of musical career on drugs as well So I think she was saying it’s a longer road to recovery when you’re being celebrated and have major drug issues...This was not a vindictive or bad woman Natalie had been down that road.
Respect to Natalie but I disagree. I believe in giving legends their flowers while they’re still with us, not waiting until they’re dead to recognize their greatness.
@krabbyappleton Natalie accomplished plenty in the music business, she cleaned herself up and is still here. You clearly are ignorant to her accomplishments. You can preach about self-righteousness all you like, but at the end of the day, doing drugs doesn't make anyone's life turn out well, but you are entitled to think otherwise. I think life is a lot more important than awards.
Natalie you only wish you could sing as good as Amy. The Grammy was for her musical work not the behavior away from the craft. GET OVER IT!!!

natile was just trying to get someone to see what was happening to amy ,maybe get amy to see,but amy did have talent ,she had it since she was a child ,it was a natural thing to amy ,the drugs just came in and messed everything up for amy ,plus she did have a bad habit of picking the wrong guy
Actually that was Natali's SON Robert AKA Robbie.
Which does not mean that she has got taste or even intelligence!
anyone spewing hate, or calling this Lady out of her name will answer for it. She simply stated her opinion. Who's to say she didnt try to reach out to Amy....So.... you can go do something else...kick rocks!
+d maria Fuck Natalie Cole, nasty worthless bitch!
+mrfrogbutt1 as your name describes someone already did you.... Don't come for me cause your miserable. Troll. On...
+mrfrogbutt1 final reply.... Like you just showed as I called you TROLL. Spewing mess. Just miserable.
You want to say: "Amy is so young, so, she cannot win 5 Grammy, though she deserves them". Does not it look like an arbitrariness? The musical prizes must be contaminated either by any condition foreign to the artistic fact, (age or liffestyle), ONLY THE MUSICAL QUALITY. Herbie Hancock has been rewarded by this wrong criterion: He received a Grammy for an album that was not the best of the nominated ones, only because Academy forgot him for 50 years.
And I think it is a very cheap, doubtful and beyond that a discriminating opinion bout fans of an artist, that they would appreciate and glorify the lifestyle of an artist, only because appreciating the talent and the music! I totally disagree, that artists are responsible of the way of lifestyle their fans choose. That is a question of their personal intellect and sense for reality.
In hindsight, Natalie was right. She sounded like a concern parent over Amy. It was completely misinterpreted
Natalie, as a fan you hid your addiction for many, many, many years. If you are calling the kettle black, I don't know who is. Remember the year Gun's & Roses won? Duff and I believe Slash were so drunk the could hardly say a word. What about Kayne West he was so drunk when he took charge over Taylor Swift? If you really feel that way give back your Grammy I believe you were not even there because you were some place getting high. I'm a little young to remember the full story

Most of those you mentioned have also had troubled times and we supported them. Plse add poor Rory Gallagher to your list, he had a drink problem which killed him, and also include another icon Jimi Hendrix. Not one is perfect and Amy is certainly not perfect. But she is a brilliant singer songwriter.I'm not too young and I love all music and I can tell you Amy Winehouse has a natural god given talent. Yes, she does stupid things, but she needs help like others before her.

But, Mykalroze, Why you don't try to be a bit more objective? Amy is not there because she makes the news, but cause she has been the best singer of the year WITHOUT DISCUSSION, though her musical success unfortunately has been accompanied by her disastrous personal life, which I don't share, but I don't judge either. If, even with her problems, she has been rewarded, other one is that the academy does not still have alternative that to recognize the reality. Recognize it you.
@wdsa8d I don't think it was hypocrisy at all. She was speaking from experience. And, look, she was right.
Uuumm, at the beginning of my comment, did I not mention I'm a Natalie fan? So that means yes, I've heard her sing. You seem to have missed my point anyway.

damn she looks good for 58,im 19 HOOK IT UP
I'm really sorry Mykalroze, but you cannot compare the two artist's works. They are completely different genres and Amy is most original, Kanye, although good at what he does, is not unique as he is rapping which thousands do today. Amy created a sound all of her own. Bringing back a type of music that most would think not hip at all. She does deserve it. It's easy to sit on the sidelines and critique. See it's for me to critique your comments but what that does it really mean to you?
Please, do you guys really think Natalie Cole is jealous of Amy Winehouse. Come on...Get REAL! Cole is almost 60...she doesn't want anything Winehouse has.
Grammy stand for music
