Jamal Lyon

The Artists
The gay son of Lucious Lyon might just be the most talented offspring he has. Jamal Lyon has unquestionable R&B skill and musically is showcased as much as anyone is on the show. Originally the black sheep of the Lyon family, Jamal’s character arc is part Michael Corleone and the most developed of Empire. Would it be a surprise if Jamal Lyon is the first character from the show to get inducted?
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Empire (2015-)
Actor:
Jussie Smollette
Songs you might remember:
Good Enough
No Apologies
Why you should vote for him:
Based on talent and portrayal, this is a very good candidate.
Why you should not vote for him:
It might be a while before anyone from this show gets inducted.
Hakeem Lyon

The Artists
The youngest son of Hip-Hop mogul, Lucious Lyon, Hakeem Lyon was presented as a rap prodigy who has the exuberance of youth and the ability to make it rain wherever he wants. As of this writing, the show is still young and any real analysis of this character can’t really be decided…at least not for our Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anyway.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Empire (2015-)
Actors:
Bryshere Y. Gray
Songs you might remember:
Drip Drop
Why you should vote for him:
If you want to be a Hip-Hop artist, being born into the genre’s royalty is a great way to start.
Why you should not vote for him:
Is this guy really any good?
Elle Dallas

The Artists
A star tuned junkie, Elle Dallas is presented as a soulful Amy Winehouse type (if she lived) who was once on top of the world but has succumbed to her demons of addiction. As of this writing, she has yet to overcome them despite the attention and encouragement of Cookie Lyon.
Dallas is played by Courtney Love, which for whatever is worth is about as perfect casting as you can get. Is that worth a vote?
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Empire (2015-)
Actor:
Courtney Love
Songs you might remember:
Walk Out On Me
Why you should vote for her:
She was presented as a star at one point, and say what you want about Courtney Love…she is not a bad actress.
Why you should not vote for her:
She was never the focal point of the show.

What is needed when you win a competition? You need to have to go international to take on the Germans of course!
Okay, that is a little simplistic, but how often has the trope of beating “evil” foreigners been done in sequels? In Pitch Perfect 2, that is exactly what happens with the Barden Bellas as they represent their country to go against Das Sound Machine, the German winners of their national a capella competition.
Do the Germans win? Of course not! However they were delightfully evil and what else do you need from antagonists?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Pitch Perfect 2 (2015)
Actors:
Birgitte Hjort Sorensen (Kommisar)
Flula Borg (Pieter Kramer)
Songs you might remember:
Multiple
Why you should vote for them:
Can we say because they are German?
Why you should not vote for him:
Until the Bellas get in, there is no reason to think of them.
