1985
in february 1986, the controversy was caused at the 28th grammy awards by the absence of whitney houston's name for the best new artist. although "whitney houston" was her debut album released in 1985, she was not nominated in that category because of her disqualification as a new artist. upon hearing that houston would be denied the opportunity to compete in the best new artist category for 1985, clive davis, then the president of arista records, sent a letter of complaint to michael greene, the president of the national academy of recording arts and sciences (naras), and had been told that "whitney was banished from the circle of newcomers because she had appeared as a duet guest vocalist on one song on jermaine jackson's album, and one on the comeback album by teddy pendergrass, both in the preceding year (1984)." he claimed that "whitney was simply an unknown vocalist making a 'cameo' appearance on just one of eight or nine songs contained in a major artist's album. she was not even a member of a continuing artistic duo. [...] whitney was merely a featured vocalist, not the artist, and certainly not the focal point of the song." but green replied to him, writing "the rule that disqualified whitney is perfectly clear. it reads: an artist is not eligible in the best new artist category if the artist had label credit or album credit, even if not as a featured artist, in a previous awards' year."
