Talk:When I Was Your Man

Genre
Per WP:RS, WP:SUBJECTIVE, we need reliable sources form experts. As there's no authorship to those recently added citations for genre, we need to find some. There are several reviews for this artist and his music, I'm sure we can find some sources specificity discussing the genre of the song. We should not also just state the song belongs to a genre, but that an author has described it as belonging to the genre as it is sucjective and open for interpretation.

 * I don't know how a song can reach number 1 on a pop singles chart, or be nominated for a Grammy in the category: Best Pop Solo Performance, and not be of the pop genre. There are many other reliable sources that speak of the song in "pop" context; too many to pretend it isn't so. I am finding it much more difficult to find reliable sources that classify the song as soul; the closest being Andrew Unterberger's statement: "The lyrics are a little too clichéd to result in a classic soul ballad the way Bruno seems to be going for." Do you agree that the song is firmly established as pop? Would you agree to acquiesce a partial reinstatement of the pop genre?—John Cline (talk) 03:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point on the awards section. Sorry, I was only looking through the reception section. I think the soul one isn't strong though. Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:26, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
