Four weeks, four rounds, and hundreds of thousands of votes have all led up to this moment. VH1′s Pop Queen Faceoff has come to an end, and a Queen of Pop has been crowned. Head below the jump for the coronation ceremony! Can we get a drum roll, please?
It was an extremely close race, but Janet Jackson has summoned her Rhythm Nation army to become VH1′s official Queen of Pop. That’s right, the Queen of Pop is the sister to the King of Pop, which creates a weird family dynamic that we won’t even go into. But hey! Hear her highness discuss the release of her masterwork, Rhythm Nation 1814. Long live the queen!
