India got snubbed at the Image awards too.
Like Jamie Foxx said, we (blacks) are hard to please. We're our own worst critic.

My friends and I were just talking about this! I feel that Alicia was a bit more "marketable" and trendy (how many women were sporting Alicia like cornrows afterward?). I feel she's very talented but MTV wore this girls videos out! Now India's videos have BEEN out. They're just starting to really play the other two(Video being her first) since her nomination. Her CD was very powerful, and didn't get half as much play as it should have.
Let me ask this.....If India was a bit more......."cute" do you think she would have gotten more recognition?
