Aretha Franklin, you’ve gotta give it to receive it!
And adding to our list of pouting divas after Sunday’s Grammy Awards…
Although there was actually an entire pre-grammy charity event hosted in honor of Aretha Frankin as MusiCares’ Woman of the Year, as “a national treasure”, and as “The Queen”, this sister is still not feeling the r-e-s-p-e-c-t! Oh, for the love of soul, gospel, and aging divas everywhere! You old school ladies better give it a rest! With a growing population of the uncaring, instantly gratified, You Tube lovin’ pop-culture youth of today, y’all should just be glad you’re even invited to these events! Read the rest »

“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.”- Natalie Cole
