    Alec T,

    Depends on how much power he has in getting her in there. He also had that power in 24, 25 and they told him to kick rocks. LOL we'll see for 2026. :D But I do know IF she fails this year, Sykes will nominate her again in 27 and then we'll see his true powers form like Super Saiyans in Dragon Ball Z. LOL XD

    Knowing how the voters are though, they could induct both Wu Tang and Lauryn to spite Sykes.

    If Mariah in, we could see a class without hip hop performer inductee, pretty likely to happen

    So possible scenarios are

    Three rnb acts (last time three true rnb acts as performer was in 2001. So don't likely happen)

    Hill (disguise as hip hop pick)+Luther+one of Sade/NE

    Two rnb acts+one rap act (last time happened in 2024)
    Wu Tang + Luther + one of Mariah/Sade/NE

    Two rnb acts
    Luther+one of Mariah/Sade/NE/Hill

    One rnb act+one rap act
    Luther+WuTang

    One rnb act
    Luther

    These are all possible scenarios I could happen.
