To be fair to smaller artists, I did this one based off my opinion of quality. Only Girl & What's My Name are QUALITY tracks and no one will tell me otherwise. I love Teenage Dream (song) but I don't think Cali Gurls is amazing. Still knocked me out though. So What & Sober was definitely P!nk's best option. I have never been a huge fan of Shake It Off though I can't deny those two singles packed a hell of a punch. I like both of Jessie J's songs but I just don't feel a "punch" when I think of them. Same goes for Kylie. I felt the wrong choice was submitted for Bey. I probably would have sent in If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies. Even Crazy In Love + Baby Boy was a better option. I love Deja Vu but Ring the Alarm is one of my least fave singles by Bey. And neither were really huge hits. Irreplaceable is what makes B'Day memorable.
Katy has one of the most solid eras by a popgirl with TD so its a blasphemy to not make her #1! Rih and Bey comes to finish the Trinity. Slay me! Kylie and Pink is mediocre for me. Taylor, I hate SIO. Jessie, I hate DILAD.

You’re lucky Gaga and Jordin were already eliminated! I think going from the infectious bubbly Cali Girls to Teenage Dream was a great 1-2 punch (that propelled Katy into superstardom). The Pink songs are great too as they contrast so much from each other. The bottom of my list are songs I feel do not complement each other well.

Gosh this was another really tough one. For me, Taylor's two songs have the most energy and ~punch~ for me, but Katy is really close behind. P!nk's songs are also really powerful. Rihanna's are solid, but WMN is a little boring at times. Jessie J killed it with Price Tag, but Do It Like A Dude is kind of annoying. Kylie's songs didn't really leave an impact on me, and Bey has much better choices.

Sorry, but you will be up for elimination at Tribal Council!
Winner:
Tom Vercetti
Congratulations, you have won the very first individual immunity of the Merge!
Congratulations on winning the first individual immunity of the Merge. You are safe from elimination this Tribal Council. Great job!
As for the other 12 of you, one will become the thirteenth eliminated castaway after this Tribal Council. When you are ready, PM me the name of the person you want eliminated from the game. If you change your mind, simply send me another PM with an updated choice for elimination. There isn't necessarily a due date for votes but it also shouldn't take over a day to complete. Remember, Tom Vercetti is immune from elimination.
Voting is more crucial than ever. There is no more Redemption Island so all eliminations will be final. Strategize and vote wisely.
Note: Voting is too important for anyone to bail out of so I will not move forward with any Tribal Council from now on until everyone has voted.
Ok Dylan, but why the **** haven't you updated my avi in the OP or any of these posts? Is it because it's of a BLACK, STRONG, INDEPENDENT WOMAN?! #Racisme.
bc it's not LAUREN
nah jk i'll change it in the quick link section
ps this tribal council always makes me nervous it's like the beginning of the end of some of you
