I don't understand why they put her in the pop category. She's a jazz musician.

Maybe beacause the committee that decides who goes into what genre figured that she'd be overlooked in the jazz categories, which they don't televise. I don't really know. It's weird seeing her nominated with BRITNEY SPEARS! Gosh, how the heck did she finagle two noms? I really think that Britney's time is up. I'd be shocked if her next album does well, since people are sick of her "music". Her last single, the one nominated for a Grammy, peaked at #90 or or something on the top 100.

Many people think the "pop" category means, NSYNC and Celine Dion music, but the "pop" stands for "popular" and that includes all that is popular.

That's why Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and Doris Day have all been considered "pop artists" over the years. It's why songs like ACHY BREAKY HEART, DEAR MR. JESUS, BUTTERFLY KISSES, Whitney's version of the STAR SPANGLED BANNER (during Gulf War) and even the instrumental version of the TITANIC THEME have been "pop" hits over the past decade.

It's also why "pop" radio stations, tend to play everything from Nsync to Nelly to No Doubt to, yes, Norah Jones.

Again, the key word is popular.
