Natalie Cole slams Amy Winehouse
Singer Natalie Cole had a few unforgettable words for Amy Winehouse after the troubled British singer took home five Grammy Awards Sunday night.
The New York Daily News reports that although Cole has also fought addictions to drugs and alcohol in the past, she told journalists at a Grammys after-party that she thought Winehouse was gifted but crazy.
“I don’t think she deserved it,” Cole said. “I think she needs to get her life together first and then get the awards later.”
She also told People.com that “it’s not right for her to be able to have her cake and eat it too … She needs to get herself together.” You don’t get to just do your drugs and go onstage and get rewarded.”
Former Beatle Ringo Starr, who was nearby and overheard Cole’s remarks, quipped, “Man, those are some grapes,” the News said.
Winehouse checked into rehab in London last month to deal with her addictions to drugs and alcohol. She didn’t get her visa in time to travel to Los Angeles for the Grammys gala but performed via satellite from a studio in London.
