How about because they didn't deserve them? You can't compare the quality of what was released then to what's winning awards now, and consider your argument justifiable. Did you really expect Madonna to win against TMOLH back in '99? Go over "My Heart Will Go On" for ROTY? They fell because the bigger and better selection went over them -- no different than what happens today.
...and Michael was as much a Grammy darling as anyone. Didn't he take home, like, eight awards one night?

Of Madonna's 28 nominations, only three were general field and only seven more were what you might call ''major awards''.
You think critically acclaimed albums like Music, Confessions and Like a Prayer were skipped over for major awards because they didn't deserve it?
Madonna was snubbed because she pissed off every single conservative in the industry, musically and politically. Don't get it twisted.

The likes of Madonna, Britney are much less likely to win the Grammys because they're not very good vocalists and much of their career is based on them being entertaining performers, which isn't exactly what Grammys salutes. So obviously whenever there is a strong power-ballad singer that comes along, it's almost certain they will take home the awards.
Kety is in that category as well obviously, despite not being an entertaining performer. I don't see a Grammy for her, unless her 'Toxic' is coming at some point.

You are not putting Britney in the same category as Madonna, especially when it comes to any kind of critical reception.
