The remaining rounds will happen next week, and then at the end of the week we launch the LEAGUE OF POP.

The Friday Canon: MISSY ELLIOTT

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

You asked for it, here she is: Melissa Elliott, the Queen of Hip-Hop! Man that canon!

Missy TRUFAX:

Missy has a Yorkshire terrier called Poncho. AMAZING.

There is going to be a Missy Elliot biopic!

Nelly Furtado did vocals on a version of Get UR Freak On for the Tomb Raider film! Why did I not know this before?

You poptimists get just SEVEN picks out of the 22 UK Top 40 singles on which Missy has an artist credit (she gets about a bit, does our Mel). Good luck!

NB: The Canon index is taking shape. Watch this space.

CANON INDEX

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

The artists are in alphabetical order. I'll update this post as we go along, voting closing on one canon when the next is posted, and link to this from the user info page (I'll put it in the memories as well for good measure). Feel free to suggest future canon artists in the comments!

Some interesting facts wot cropped up:

Crazy In Love is still worthy of a tick

Jacko deemed more mental than Mariah

Artists with larger repertoires do not necessarily have a wider distribution of ticks (hi dere Mariah and Status Quo)

Everyone likes Wham! quite a lot but no-one can remember many Erasure singles

Poptimists are more forgiving towards Radiohead than one might think.
