As you know, every year the Grammys does this in memoriam segment honoring those lost over the last year.

So... Why was Aaron Carter left out of the memoriam? #GRAMMYs

WOW… #GRAMMYs forgot to include #AaronCarter in their memoriam for artists who have passed… DO BETTER!!!!

Grammys forgot Bernard Wright rip

@RecordingAcad you missed some people in your In Memoriam Trevor Strnad Jeremiah GreenDan McCaffertyAaron CarterBob Nalbandian#GRAMMYs

so the grammys just goin to forget Pnb on their tribute to rappers who past away

Now why I ain’t see Gangsta Boo in this tribute

Gangsta Boo should have been up there

Leaving out Gangsta Boo, one of the pioneers of Southern female rap, from the GRAMMY memoriam segment is a sin and a shame.

Wow they didn’t say RIP to lil keed, or Trouble.

Not at all surprised but still disappointed to not see Jeremiah Green of @modestmouseband in the In Memoriam presentation. #GRAMMYs

People also noted that the segment left out Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters; however, Taylor was actually honored at last year's show.
