I would have to say Natalie Cole is definately entitled to her own opinion and can excersise her freedom of speech to do so.  I think that it was inappropriate of her to make her remarks on the Red Carpet at the Grammies.  Amy Winehouse, no matter what her demons or issues may be, is EXTREMELY talented and didn't need to use her deceased father in a music video as a crutch to boost her career.  Natalie seems to forget the fact that she too was "crazy" and was involved in "bad behavior" herself.  The saying rings true "those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones".  Instead of being condesending, she should show support for someone who was in the same boat as Natalie, that is in the music industry herself and give her well wishes and leave it at that.  Maybe there is a little jealousy going on because Amy does have a very soulful voice and even thought she is in rehab is still popular in the music industry were someone such as Natalie has become a "has been".  Sorry if I am stepping on any toes but this is my opinion and I am excersising my freedom of speech as well.   Be well, Jaye
