Mandisa will always have a special place in my heart, but I didn't feel that ATRL was the appropriate place to express my appreciation for the Queen of CCM.

Dylan's Rank:
R7:
1. Britney - He ruined her music once K-Fed ruined her life. Behead them both if you ask me!
2. Katy - This song is just so embarrassing and the poop lyric is death,
3. Nicki - You know I never listened to this though I meant to and wow I made a good decision.
4. Mariah - Layering gone wrong.
5. Rihanna - One of the few Rihanna songs I don't use.
6. Ellie - This has potential but it gets far too high and noisy.
7. Carrie - Carrie doesn't have any tragic songs but this is easily one of her worst/corniest.
8. Gaga - I do bop to this a bit but it is a hot ass mess at the end of the day.
9. Jlo - I actually use this but the autotune on the chorus makes me cringe.
10. Ciara - More filler than tragic.
11. Beyoncé - This song is Survivor royalty but it's filler rather than bad.
12. Ariana - This is a really cute song and Ariana sounds great?
13. Taylor - No.
Britney to Mariah were actual tragedies. Rihanna to Carrie were just weak among their discographies. Gaga & Jlo are hot messes that I sort of love. Ciara & Bey are simply filler. JALBOYH is a good song and the Bad Blood remix is awesome.

There just will never be a worse song recorded than Milk Milk Lemonade. I cannot understand why it was recorded. Top 6-7 choices were really good, but Bad Blood? It Should be Easy? Whatever Rihanna song that was? I'm pretty sure these artists have songs from their early albums that are much, much worse than these. Broaden your horizons.

1 Katy Perry - She should be ashamed of this song.
2 Lady Gaga - Yaaaas. Drag her! ugh!
3 Nicki Minaj - Eeeeeewwwww! I hate this song.
4 Britney Spears - Great pick.
5 Beyonce - I hate this too.
6 Ciara - Ew. This song sucks. Good choice.
7 Taylor Swift - I hate this remix.
8 Mariah Carey - Yes. One of her worst.
9 Rihanna - Oh gosh. I despise this song when I first listened to it.
10 Ellie Goulding - Im halfhearted on this one.
11 Carrie Underwood - Ok.
12 Jlo - Hmmm. no.
13 Ariana Grande - Bye! Why are u dragging this ballad? am v disgusted.
Too many cringeworthy picks and that's the goal for this round. Katy Perry cannot win a Grammy because Milk Milk Lemonshitaide is her omen. So sad!

The first five ranked are truly tragic pieces in the discography of these girls. Worry No More, Atlantis and Just a Little Bit of Your Heart are quite middle of the road but they have worse songs. From Gaga to Katy, they aren't objectively good song but they're such guilty pleasures. I don't know why you're insisting with Bad Blood featuring Kendrick, Swizz. The album version is so much worse.

Dylan's Rank:
R8:
1. Beyoncé - Hip rolling goodness!
2. Gaga - Overrated song imo but still a pop girl power collab!
3. Mariah - I loved this sound for Mariah. Also, Miguel and her blend great!
4. Nicki - Love Nicki's verses on this so much.
5. Rihanna - I never put this on my Itunes. What's wrong with me?
6. Ciara - The queens of crunk&b!
7. Jlo - Wait, prezli. Never heard this but it's such a bop. All I Have remains her best collab tho.
8. Ariana - I was never that huge on this song but this was a sweet collab.
9. Katy - She has very few collabs, huh? This is good but just not as good as the others.
10. Ellie - Why not I Need Your Love? This is nice for Ellie but Tinie's feature is useless.
11. Carrie - Yeah he's a country legend but Remind Me is one of Carrie's best songs period.
12. Taylor - I've never been fond of this song. It's just so boring.
13. Britney - She has a collab with Madonna and even then Boom Boom is way better than this.
Bey to Nicki were great for me. Rihanna to Katy were pretty good as well. Ellie's felt a bit trivial and Carrie's wasn't her best. Taylor's song was and is boring and Britney has better ones for sure.

Ciara got sooooooooo lucky with that song! I can't help it, I love Who You Love. Katy sounds phenomenal, and I was already a John Mayer fan before they happened. Carrie, Rihanna, Britney, and Jennifer all have significantly better collaborations I can think of off the top of my head - Something Bad, FourFiveSeconds/What's My Name, Scream & Shout/Me Against the Music/Tik Tik Boom even, and just about any J. Lo/Pitbull collab would have been the correct answer. The middle ones were meh. Most of these artists are better on their own. Nicki has too many great collabs to waste it on that Beyonce one.

From 1-5, fantastic collaborations. From 6-10, quite good but they're not IT. The rest can reach a garbage bin.
