And just when you thought it couldn't get more wild up in here.
Rihanna def. Mariah Carey: 6 - 4
Adele ties Pink: 5 - 5
And no, I'm not talking about Adele - Queen of Ties. Only one day after defeating Madonna and putting herself back in position to win, Mariah falls to Rihanna. I had to check the votes three times! So now Riri is back in the mix with only one more day to go!

Let me know if I missed something, it's always possible, even likely, but I believe these are the final four matchups!!!
Pink v Mariah Carey
Michael Jackson v Katy Perry
Adele v Rihanna
Britney Spears v Madonna
No videos, we've all seen to enough to decide. If you check the standings you can pretty much tell how this one is going, but only one contestant has been officially eliminated thus far. Can Adele tie her way to the top? So your votes still count big time! And of course, there is still plenty of time for the previous days matches as well.
Phase 10 - 1 days remaining
Michael Jackson v Adele Pink v Katy Perry
Phase 11 - 2 days remaining
Rihanna v Britney Spears Madonna v Katy Perry
Phase 12 - 3 days remaining
Pink v Rihanna Britney Spears v Mariah Carey Madonna v Michael Jackson
In four days we will have a champion!!!!

-OK Flava, so why, after singing Katy Perry's praises for the entire final round do you turn against her here? Sure Michael has more great songs, but his peak is still quite a bit below Katy's. I'd rank em
1. Teenage Dream
2. Thriller
3. Prism
4. Bad
5. One of the Boys
6. Dangerous
I ranked two Katy songs on my top 50 pop charts and only one MJ (though Beat It would have been there too had it not been for the awesome guitar solo disqualifying it from pop contention.) Teenage Dream was my overall #3 behind only Since U Been Gone and Sparks Fly. It's one of my all time favorite songs.
Again though, Michael Jackson has more. He started earlier yeah, but after Bad his career kinda descended into chaos so its not like it was just easy for him. Both are riding on the wave of their early (solo in MJs case) work. But why is this? Michael Jackson has a pretty good reason for not producing any hits over the last few years, but what about Katy? Is it because her voice is no longer beautiful? Definitely not. So what could be the reason that Katy Perry has not had a memorable hit song since the end of 2014? And let's also keep in mind that in the year 2014 Kay would have easily been in the second tier of major popstars, while making an honest case to be in tier 1. So what happened?
Hmmm
Oh yeah.
She fucked up, pissed off the wrong person and got her career owned. So yeah, I can't consider someone to be the all time best popstar if they are vulnerable to such an epic diss track.
What power it must take, what strong influence it must require - to knock one of your peers out of A-List status because of a somewhat petty grudge. And to make it a #1 hit single as well? That's just straight up history right there. Not even Drake buried Meek that badly.
But yeah, Taylor definitely didn't deserve to be in the top eight.

That's wrong reason for decision. Also I don't think Katy not releasing an album in 2015 is due to Taylor, it's not like appearing in latest video and publicly apologizing helped Katy's album much.
As much as I agree with your hate for Pink I cannot get behind this specially because the match is not against the two.

Eh, I needed an excuse for one last Taylor rant.

Eh I was too disappointed in you all, my heart wasn't in it. Plus I didn't wanna influence the game too much as host.
But yeah, we shall be holding everyone accountable for this.
Anyways, update coming up soon.

T-t-tally those votes yo
Michael Jackson def. Adele: 6 - 4
Pink def. Katy: 6 - 4
Turns out Adele cannot tie her way to the top. Both of these ladies are probably eliminated now. Michael now has 10 points with only two laps to go. It's not over yet, but we are getting there.

Re: 2020 WOKJ Mega-Popstar Tournament of Champions: Rd 2 Pt.
Ok so while we wait over the next few days I thought it'd be fun to throw out some random matchups of people that did not make the cut. You don't have to vote on these, they count for nothing, but it's something to do.
First up: Who is KJs favorite singer that got cut from the original 32? Fatal fourway style!
The Weeknd v Chris Brown v Harry Styles v Charli XCX
And of course there are still a few days remaining on these key matchups!!!
Phase 11 - 1 day remaining
Rihanna v Britney Spears Madonna v Katy Perry
Phase 12 - 2 days remaining
Pink v Rihanna Britney Spears v Mariah Carey Madonna v Michael Jackson
Phase 13 - 3 days remaining
Pink v Mariah Carey Michael Jackson v Katy Perry Adele v Rihanna Britney Spears v Madonna
Don't give up quite yet!

Re: 2020 WOKJ Mega-Popstar Tournament of Champions: Rd 2 Pt.
XCX for me obviously out of that group. She is inconsistent, and her work is maddeningly overproduced at times, but when Charli hits shit hits hard. No Angel, Claws, 5 In The Morning, the entire No1 Angel album (besides Lipgloss) and even her past attempts at mainstream hits like Boom Clap are all fucking awesome.

Lipgloss is so good, ya tripping Flav lol
I would pick Charli too. Pop 2, Charli and How I'm Feeling Now are all fucking great. Idk if she would be making the same kind of music if she got really big.
The Weeknd has solid albums.
Harry Styles... I haven't really gotten into him enough to listen to a full album but he's got some bops.
Chris Brown can go away forever. He's talented but just trash.

Fine Line is a great album. Styles is probably my favorite.
Weeknd has good singles, but I find his albums dull.
Don’t care about Charli or Chris.
