She wouldn't have been nominated if she'd performed some classical music.It's the genre, not the colour of skin of performer that is honoured.
No - it is the performer who is honoured (that is how Joss Stone, if memory serves), managed to "win" a MOBO award.
Being a soul singer, it's hardly likely that she would have been singing some classical number.

"MOBO Award winner, some more music of black origin! (performed by some Cornish bird who's name is of no consequence". I don't recall hearing anything like that.
Here - have some rolly eyes
