Like any award shows, the Grammys had its share of the "snubbed".

What are some of the snubs you can think of? (in any category)

- Leona Lewis for BNA
- No Doubt "Tragic Kingdom" for AOTY

all I can think of at the moment.

Spice Girls didn't get nominated for anything for the year 1997.

Tamia was snubbed for "strangers in my house"

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss didn't get nominated in country field.

Martina McBride was tragically snubbed for "Anyway"

Brian McKnight's "Back at One" didn't get nominated for Song of the Year or Best Male R&B Vocal

Whitney Houston has no Best New Artist nominations and a bunch of Legendary Performers/Musician.

Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" (nominated)
Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (win)
Coldplay's "Clocks" (win) for Record of the Year but was overlooked at their respective genre fields. That was so shocking.

I thought Leona's snub was shocking, but it's not one of the worst snubs.

I would have chosen her over the Jonas Brothers, but Adele, Jazmine Sullivan, Duffy and Lady Antebellum deserved their nominations.

Leona's album was pretty bland.

Leona's BNA Snub

Tamia not earning nominations for "Stranger In My House" or for her Between Friends album

Deborah Cox not earning a nod for "Nobody Suppose to Be Here"

Nominating artist like Case, Joe & Jagged Edge later in their careers.

Alicia Keys AOTY and "Best R&B Album" for "As I Am"snub.

Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head" snubbed for AOTY.

Nelly Furtado's "Loose" getting snubbed in ALL general fields, even "Say It Right", which was snubbed majorly for ROTY and SOTY, and even "All Good Things (Come To An End)" for SOTY.

M.I.A. for BNA, her albums from ANY categories.

Those are some off the top of my head that baffle me.

Yeah that one still irks me to no end. The fact is that if Jonas Brothers, Britney Spears, Hanson, Ciara, Sisqo, Backstreet Boys or Color Me Badd can be nominated than Spice Girls who were among the most popular acts of the 90's really should have been nominated. I know it's not cool to like Spice girls but the truth is they were definetly worthy of a Grammy Award.

in 1997 the nominees for New Artist were Jewel, Garbage, No Doubt, Leeann Rimes and The Tony Rich Project. It would have been more than acceptable to replace Tony Rich or Jewel with Spice Girls.

I would also say that based on sales alone they deserved nods for Album Of The Year and Record Of The Year (Wannabee).

Considering they nominated HANSON in 1998 and Backstreet Boys in 1999 than i believe Spice Girls were also worthy.

Fine, "SHOCKING" . happy?

I always thought Anna Nalick should have had 2 nominations for "Breathe (2 a.m.)" (Song of the year and Pop Female). I also thought she should have been nominated for Best New Artist.

Sorry Leona Lewis not getting a BNA nomination wasnt shocking ............ she has a voice but her album was so bland ..........

What the hell is wrong with you people? At first you can't wait to bone Leona Lewis and now you're dissing her?

why the sudden change I wonder.

She deserved a BNA nomination, Irregardless if her album seemed boring or bland she was an artist who had a good debut and a set of great singles. If Norah Jones who is a walking sleeping Pill can get a BNA one, then Leona can too. And if other forgettable names can get one as well, she should of gotten one as well considering the year she had. The woman had the Best Selling Single of that Year, sold respectfully, and has a great voice. She deserved a BNA nom. End of story.

1. Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head for Album of the Year
2. Christina Aguilera's Beautiful for Record of the Year
3. Spice Girls for Best New Artist
4. Nelly Furtado's Loose for Pop Vocal Album
5. Mariah Carey's E=MC2 for Best Contemporary R&B Album
6. Britney Spears' Toxic for Record of the Year
