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

Mariah has 5 Grammys. As a child I always thought Mariah had the most Grammys ever because her music (especially before 1997) literally sounds like the Grammys. So the fact that she won 2 in that time period means utter sh-t.

The reason why Mariah Carey didn't win awards during her prime was basically because her husband was hated, So due to her association with Tommy Motorola both personally and professionally,  I think Mariah Carey got also the backlash as they took it personal and politically just because they hated Tommy.

Oh well ... at least she can say she's a Grammy-winning artist ... do we really need to disclose how many she was awarded?

[Easy There]

Yall sound borderline ***ists and racist saying that extremely talented and actually invested in her art black woman. Got her awards thanks to man.

Just saying

[mythology]

Our fave's first and likely only Grammy

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

i had no idea!!!!

I think if it had been released by any other artist, it would have swept the Grammys - or at LEAST gotten a Record of the Year nod. Britney had always been a “third rail” so to speak for critics. No one dared give her positive reviews because it would damage their own credibility.

I have faith that time will be good to Britney’s work and we’ll all acknowledge how underappreciated and underrated her music and influence was at the time.

I suppose it was sent to her or her label. She wasn't there a the ceremony.

I think so too. Britney has released standard after musical standard throughout her entire career. She always sounds fresh or ahead of the curve with her sound. She really doesn’t get enough credit as an artist  

And most of her songs still sound pretty good and of recent musical tastes. I’d say really only BOMT sounds a bit dated. And that’s fair to say because it’s her oldest work. But it’s a classic..

She really came out at the perfect time, pop music was reinventing itself and she took it in a completely new direction. Britney has a certain contemporary timelessness to her artistry and I think that will serve her l legacy very well in the future.

TBH the title track has a timeless, fresh and also dated sense to it, IDK maybe it's because of the piano?

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.

Also Toxic was technically released as a single in 2004.

Dated in an enjoyable way. The song is effortlessly nostalgic and has aged incredibly well.

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.
