I think, we should ask it first :

Why Mariah has only 5 Grammy Awards?
Most fans blame Mariah's lack of Grammys on Tommy Motolla and then her sexy change in 1997.

My theory is that the Grammys choose albums and artists that are commercial but walk a fine line between artistry and being in tune with musical history.

Mariah's albums tend to be just too commercial for Grammy voters and not 'arty' or 'creative' enough. Not my opinion, but my perception of how Mariah is perceived. The exceptions are TEOM and Butterfly. TEOM actually did pick up 3 Grammys and I think Butterfly missed out because it was ahead of its time for an artist like Mariah. If it was released in 1999-2000 it would have received more Grammy love.
