[Diddy]

I shouldn't vote in these things but I'm scared Brandy will make it through so...

Wildest Moments

well if it’s any consolation you were right

 

[straightorbroken]

I'll use a gif of her when the cops told her to get out of the car after you know what for my answer:

 

[SDF]

OMG Brandy is through

 

[SDF]

NEXT ROUND PLEASE

 

[Jark]

I don't think I can be bothered to do this anymore tbh

 

[Jark]

...just kidding! (am i?)

ROUND 1 LOSERS

Kelis - Acapella (47%)
Amerie - 1 Thing (29%)
Mabel - Don't Call Me Up (18%)
Madonna - Music (29%)
Anastacia - Left Outside Alone (41%)
Lorde - Team (29%)
Jessie Ware - Wildest Moments (47%)
Beyonce ft. Jay-Z - Drunk In Love (41%)
Mariah Carey ft. Miguel - #Beautiful (35%)

The lead single from Kelis' obligatory FOR THE GAYS dance record falls after putting up a surprisingly strong fight against Freak Like Me - I didn't even expect it to get this far honestly. Amerie inched out J-Lo but she's no match for Demi, who sashays into the third round with the lesbian-for-just-a-hot-sec anthem every graduating teen star needs in their oeuvre. Mabel receives an absolute TROUNCING from Cheryl Cole in the battle of British dance-pop, and Madonna doesn't fare much better against her professional impersonator L. Gaga.

Lorde's fight against Lana is weak, and even the much-celebrated #Beautiful, a summer bop so breezy even its hashtag can't consign it to the bin, has no weapons to take down peak Janet, who's still riding that nice package tonight. Beyoncé loses out to Alicia and in a very tight battle, Jessie Ware falls at the last. Everyone who voted Brandy to survive has had their names taken and should sleep with one eye open.

ONE SONG goes through automatically on account of receiving the most resurrection votes, and her name is...

RESURRECTED:

It's a WELL-DESERVED revival from the brink of death for Madonna's last-ever Hot 100 #1.

three more tracks received 2 votes apiece - Acapella, #Beautiful and Don't Call Me Up - more on that in a sec.

Don't blame the voters, you didn't HAVE to include Brandy in this contest to begin with

 

[Jark]

Don't blame the voters, you didn't HAVE to include Brandy in this contest to begin with

if I hadn't misremembered the release year I would've included He Wasn't Man Enough instead!

:emoji_weary:

 

[Loufoque]

I can't believe Music did so poorly. I guess most queens stan an Ace of Base pastiche over a genuinely iconic moment of pop innovation.

 

[SDF]

“More on that in a sec”

it’s been an hour!
