“I'm going on record as an artist who is able to critique [Amy Winehouse]. I think she has a great talent, but I don't agree with the Grammys giving her those nods. I think it sends the wrong message, that even in the midst of her stupor of drugs she can get nominated for all these awards. It's a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn't have a grasp of what she has. I've been in this business over 25 years and I sacrificed five years of my own life on drugs and almost lost my life because of it. So I take great offence to almost see someone getting glory out of being in the position that they're in – she needs to get her life together and embrace her craft, she will lose it if she doesn't get it together.”

The Grammy's…meant to showcase talent…not show pity for those who had a bad year. Look at the artists she was up against. Her along with the rest of the lot have a large amount of talent. Most people would probably just be happy to be nominated and recognized, and I bet everyone nominated has problems of their own. Amy is unique and real.She knows she has problems and she's facing her issues. How many people can you name who go to rehab for a night and then leave? I wont even try to write that list. Amy writes and sings and thats what she wants to do. Plus, if you can get a good number of awards your first time, You Go Girl!
Re: ft – Actually, Natalie Cole won a grammy for her 1991 album "Unforgettable.. With Love". K. Thanks.
