Major names who have NEVER won a Grammy Bob Marley - 0 noms (except a Lifetime Achievement award) Queen - 0 noms (except a few songs in the Grammy Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Award) Jennifer Lopez - 2 noms Miley Cyrus - 2 noms Kate Bush - 3 noms ABBA - 5 noms Lana Del Rey - 6 noms Florence + The Machine - 7 noms Avril Lavigne - 8 noms Nicki Minaj - 10 noms Katy Perry - 13 noms Diana Ross - 13 noms Bjork - 16 noms Snoop Dogg - 17 noms Major names who have very few Grammys Kylie - 1 Britney Spears - 1 Lil Kim - 1 Cher - 1 Ariana Grande - 2 Justin Bieber - 2 Shakira - 3 The Weeknd - 4 So, yes, to act like losing AOTY is the worst thing in the world when your fave already has a ton of other awards, (and has been gaining them frequently for years) while other artists who are also highly commercially successful and influential are left out in the cold, is a bit of an overreaction. Thank you. Not to mention that your list isn’t even artists who never got AOTY, but like zero Grammys at all. Perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
migamiga 12,101 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 mariah — she only has 5 grammys in her 30+ year career. she’s been nominated for aoty 3 times (debut, daydream, and teom) and was favored to win/sweep in 96 and 06 but just like beyonce she was only given genre-specific awards also one sweet day and we belong together were both critical and commercial successes (2 of the longest running #1 songs) and did not win roty or soty. i know that the grammys aren’t awarding works for their commercial performance but you can’t deny the impact, legacy, and cultural significance of those records Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimi should have won AOTY and def shook that we belong together never won either SOTY or ROTY. I wonder if the winners were as shamed as Harry styles was, doubt it.

It's also worth noting that the Grammys are widely considered to be an American awards show for American artists. Most of the nominees and winners are American. That's why every country has their own version of the Grammys and there's even Latin Grammys because Latin artists are so wildly underrepresented even when they're widely known and living in America. For a non-American to win a Grammy, they generally have to be massively successful or the academy won't know or care about them so it's no surprise that many people don't put much stock in them when they're so nation-specific.

It's nice when an artist you like wins and gets a bit of cute recognition. I'm happy Harry won 'cause I love his album and him as a person but if he had lost? Would I care? Nope. 'Cause a trophy changes nothing when it comes to how iconic, culturally important, entertaining, etc an artist is. Second, THE FACT THAT GAGA'S NEVER WON IS A CRIME I wish she had won for love for sale because it seemed like such a good narrative for the academy to embrace, being Tony’s last album. I know it wouldn’t have been as satisfying for many because it’s not just her and it’s not her own songs, but I think it’s pretty clear that interpreting jazz is def part of the real her too. Anyways it wasn’t meant to be. I hope she doesn’t drift too far from music and after she wraps joker maybe she’ll release her AOTY! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooke Hoegan 1,018 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The facts that: 1) her input in her music is basically telling what she likes and what not and adding harmonies and stuff is... well... at least it's something I guess... 2) her father is very close to Grammy committee since the times of Destiny's Child are very telling. I just cannot take people who whine about Beyonce not winning YET ANOTHER Grammy seriously. Get over her and get over yourself. She IS very overrated and that's probably ok.
