The sista is a Soul sista, but that particular song is as Pop as
Pepsi. If it isn't Pop, then everything Michael Jackson did after
leaving the Jackson Five is Soul too. ;-)

Depends on the song. The Ink Spots did everything from Easy Listening

Collins was a folk singer, but "Send in the Clowns," "Both Sides Now,"
and a few more were done outside her usual genre during the perios

it's definitely not Folk.

I know you said it's subjective, so that's my subjective view of it.
