It's strange that the Grammy's nominated Control by Janet Jackson for Album of the Year in 1987 but didn't nominate any of the albums Madonna released in the 1980s for anything. Madonna was ignored big time by the Grammy's at the height of her career in the 1980s, especially compared to Michael Jackson (he won eight in one night), Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner and Prince. Janet only received three nominations in the 1980s (the same as Madonna) but at least one of those was in one of the four main categories, Madonna was only nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance and Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television.
