Is it weird that I always forget she's won a Grammy?  Maybe it's because this was during the K-Fed days and because she wasn't there/didn't get a physical award but you get me lol

After BahaMen won a Grammy for “who let the dogs out?”, the Grammy’s became meaningless.

Everyone knows she was robbed for BNA, but I’m grateful she at least snagged that one. I’d bet that’s something she’s most proud of as an artist...”Grammy-winning” has such a nice ring to it

Her first and last grammy

When Mariah Carey only has 4 Grammys, and there was a 15 year gap between her 1st and 2nd, you know they mean ****.

Thanks to her father

That was a long overdue Grammy Award. It’s crazy to think in over 22 years she has only won one of these considering the contribution she has made to popular music and how influential it has been.

A shame she hasn’t won any others and has been snubbed in recent years but glad she it at least got the award for one of her best singles.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but Toxic was released in 2003, why did she win in 2005?

It's because the cut-off date for the '04 Grammys was September 30, 2003. As Toxic was released after this it was eligible for '05 Grammys instead.

Britney deserves more grammys
