[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Missy Elliott gets the highest turnout of the decade so far, with a whopping 49 votes to win heat #3. Daft Punk, S Club 7 and Mary J Blige are safely through, but Alicia and DanBed tie for fifth - see below for the run-off.

Today's poll sees double J-Lo remix action, microgoth, mashups, possible incest and the Jackson Five (sort of). It's heat #4, everybody!

Lina will be imminently dealt with in, I presume, the next of these polls! I'll probably upload 'Playa No Mo' as and when, as it seems to have disappeared from the internet. Great, great lost R&B record.

I basically mean jazz/r&b as a more blazingly obvious thing, the R&B beat/vocal paired with a big fat jazz sample and heavy jazz signifiers, the contrast standing out more than anything, contra something like 'Jumpin Jumpin' having internalised its jazz influence such that it doesn't immediately code as jazz.
