Y'all know what time it is! It's Pearl Houzuki, coming at you live from The G.A.L.L.E.R.Y.! Well versed in several genres, flip hop and cuddlecore to name a few, she's got a supersonic voice ready to bring everyone bowing down to her. MC_Princess, Baroness Of Bars, whatever you wanna call her, she's got a wide range of songs from the Splatoon series, songs from fictional bands and artists in the alt rock genre that's gonna make for a splendid, (and messy!) exhibit at The G.A.L.L.E.R.Y. if she wins. After a few brief losses when it mattered most, and getting split from her already existing team, does this squid have what it takes to snag the crown this time?
