Thanks Michael,
I agree but do you have any ideas about the questions I asked?

I assume you are referring to the pop range being low for females.
That is the perspective of a classical female singer. For males, the
pop range is high. In fact, the ranges for either pop females or
males are pretty close.
Here's a link that addresses this subject:

While the author is no academic, and I would take the 500 hz figure
with a grain of salt, I think he is essentially correct in saying
that pop vocal music, which is usually closer to speech, seems
generally most pleasing in a narrower range of pitches than other
vocal music.
Cheers,
Michael Gordon
