Things are heating up in our 8 Greatest Women In Pop Video Bracket Countdown Extravaganza! In round one, we pitted Lady Gaga against Madonna, Britney Spears against Rihanna, Katy Perry against Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez against Beyoncé. Thanks to your votes, the results are in — and there’s some more than interesting stats to report.
In what was always going to be a controversial pairing, Lady Gaga managed to nix Madonna at the eleventh hour by a super tight margin — Mother Monster finished the round with 51% of the vote while Queen Madge had 49%. It just goes to show the power that an army of Little Monsters really has! In the same bracket, Britney Spears crushed Rihanna by the biggest margin of all the ladies, receiving a whopping 72% of the vote. So for round two it’s Brits vs. Gaga — will the veteran hold her own against avant-pop’s biggest craze? Or are the Little Monsters too powerful a voting force to be reckoned with? In the second bracket, Mariah Carey had a convincing win over Katy Perry with 60% of the vote, while Beyoncé came out on top of J-Lo with 69%. Now Carey is up against Bey, and we’re pumped to find out which soul diva you’ll vote for — because for us, it’s hard to pick which one is more iconic and influential!
If you’ve got an opinion hurry and cast your vote — we already told you in our 100 Greatest Women in Music series that aired on VH1 last week who we think is the greatest woman in pop (Madonna, naturally) so now it’s your turn! Voting for round two closes tomorrow at 11 a.m. EST!
