Blaque and 3LW may not sound exactly like Hoku and Leslie Carter, but I would argue that they're in the same vein. It's a more upbeat, hooky spin the genre, aimed at teenagers—consider it bubblegum R&B.
My criteria was essentially: Are you a mostly forgotten '90s pop tart with a top ten Hot 100 hit (e.g. Jennifer Paige)? Was your song an unexpected "TRL" smash (e.g. Debelah Morgan)? Did you provide the lead single to a children's movie soundtrack (e.g. Krystal Harris)? Okay, you're in.
