For our ninth season, we gathered 8 established, and 8 up-and-coming girls from the music industry, to fight for the title Queen Of Pop. For the twist, it's was obvious - the theme being Established vs. Up-And-Coming. The Established girls being, Fergie, Gwen, Hilary, Jennifer, Kesha, Kylie, Pink, and Shakira, while the Up-And-Coming are Banks, Foxes, Natalia, Rita, Sia, Sky, Tinashe and Twigs. Whenever someone wins HOH, their side is immune from nominations, meaning the must nominate people from the other group.
Just as in the previous seasons, we allowed the public to influence who gets the first HOH, by asking them to choose their favorite from both groups. When the results were revealed, the favorites were Shakira, and Tinashe. After that, Shakira and Tinashe faced off for the title of HOH, and it was Shakira who came out on top.
With that, the Established girls - Fergie, Gwen, Hilary, Jennifer, Kesha, Kylie, and Pink, all got immunity from nominations.
At the HOH Ceremony, Shakira explained, "I have decided to nominate Sky, and Natalia! Reasons are kinda obvious. I am not gonna say anything further! Good luck both of you."
After the nominees were revealed, a minor altercation between Shakira and Sky occurred, but it wasn't serious at all.
At POV, it was Gwen who came out victorious. She decided to save Natalia off the block. With that, Shakira needed to name a replacement nominee, and she chose Sia.
