He just won best soul artist and I don't understand because he's not a soul artist.

His style does fit under that umbrella.

You can hear the soul in his voice in his music
He's pop now though

A Lorde winning best rock video tea

no.

There was probably a time where he could have came under Neo-Soul tho. He is not good enough to be considered Soul/RnB. He's just black.

Not entirely. But this is the white people awards and he's black.

Neo-Soul is basically a sub-genre of R&B/Soul.

I agree.

His ARTPOP could mean anything.

Yes, you'll haven't listened to his music outside of The Hills and CFMF.

Let's not ack like he's not going to sweep the BET awards.

His last album is mostly pop in my opinion.

Is Ariana rock (she won Pop/Rock)?

No, they just combine the two genres. He's an R&B/urban artist.

R&B has many sub genres.

No.

From what I've heard, yes.

/end

He won't.
And this isn't relevant to my response regardless? the BET Awards has a shitload of categories to space him out in. The AMA'S has a limited amount of categories for black artists. So they will be put into soul/R&B regardless of what kind of music they make
