I think this was already a thread but who gives a shit.

Who do you think would’ve been nominated for Pop Solo Performance if the category was still divided by gender?

I imagine last year’s line up would’ve been:

Best Male Pop Solo Performance:
Beck – Colors (winner)
Post Malone – Better Now
Shawn Mendes – In My Blood
Bazzi – Mine
Sam Smith – Pray

Best Female Pop Solo Performance:
Lady Gaga – Joanne (winner)
Ariana Grande – God Is A Woman
Camila Cabello – Havana (live)
Dua Lipa – New Rules (live)
Taylor Swift – Delicate

LOL Katy is a joke. The industry doesn’t respect her. She would’ve lost to Samara from The Ring aka Lorde.

I don’t need to be sexist. Pop has been far better without those. All we just need is a Pop Song Award.

it has since been reported that, in 2018, Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Live) missed a BPSP nod by less than 10 votes. Ariana would’ve been nominated for Female Pop Solo instead of Julia Michaels.

If the categories were split, the submissions probably would have been different. I think there’s a different dynamic with Pop Female and Male vs. Pop Solo.
