After hearing so much about Amy Winehouse, how she won 5 Grammys yet was unable to attend the ceremony due to her her drug problems, I decided to check her out. A quick scan through her music told me I liked her style.
Natalie Cole attacked Amy's wins, saying Beyonce and Rihanna were more deserving and that drug addicts shouldn't be getting away with it. At first I thought it was a case of sour grapes but then, learning that Cole herself had fought her addiction, she probably understood things better.

I also picked up the Mary J Blige album, Growing Pains, and the Grammy Nominees 2008 album.
