A level-headed Janet Jackson is sounding off on the Natalie Cole/Amy Winehouse Grammy Awards controversy. The jazz-singing daughter of late entertainment legend Nat King Cole stepped on a few toes earlier this week when she (a former heroin addict) blasted Grammy organizers for bestowing five Grammy Awards on a rehab-resistant crack addict.

Janet told E!’s Daily 10:

I hear where Natalie is coming from, and I think she would understand it better than I could because she’s been there. She’s been addicted to drugs and had those issues. I could see her side of it, for sure, and it’s kind of a catch-22 for myself, because it does feel like someone is being rewarded for a negative act.

And then I think about it, and I’m not saying it’s right, but the music business has always been about sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
