How to vote based on the creator.

I encouraged everyone to chose the acts that best represent the SOUND and FEEL of the 90s, using the following criteria:

SOLO ACT CRITERIA:

(Group criteria is less stringent because there are fewer groups to choose from)

Debuted PRIOR to 1999.

Artists who were still recording and charting in the 1990s but transcend being defined by any one decade (Patti, Aretha, Gladys, Barry White, The Isleys, etc) are excluded.

As is #MusicSermon’s policy, artists who were global and megastars at the time (like Mariah, Whitney, Sade, Janet, Prince, Michael, etc) are excluded

#HeWhoShallNotBeNamed is also excluded. While his contribution to the genre is undeniable, I don’t want people to get distracted from the bracket by having a convo about whether he should have been included on the bracket.

Also seeding was done based on her group voting. So Dru Hill was excluded. She thinks her group of voters thinks they are more 2000s.
