The Kunwaray artist Maria said the selection list caused her to feel like "ladies didn't exist this year," and the Laiyan vocalist Natasha Noorani was "tired of the young men's club." "The fundamental eradication of ladies in music generally appears in new ways. Gatekeeping begins in the studio," she composed.

The democratic site went under support not long after the analysis and casting a ballot has stopped.
