Well done yesterday John!

 

Round 1: 30 - didn't get

Little Richard (I guessed Jackie Wilson as the host specified "no #1s in his lifetime" and he had one posthumously), 1975 (slightly out with 1971)

 

 

Round 2: 36 - didn't get

Bob and Marcia

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, Romeo And Juliet

 

Thanks Jim and well done you and Rollo today, those are easily winning scores! :cheer:

was in the office today with someone pretty high up near me so thought I'd better not play PopMaster live :ph34r: :lol:

 

Round 1: 30 (didn't get:

1975 (four years out) - snap Jim!, Blue Pearl - confused this song title with Berri, Paul Weller

)

Round 2: 18 (didn't get:

Bob and Marcia, 1986 (two years out), Toploader, Showaddywaddy, The Chimes

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, Romeo & Juliet)

 

 

 

'Waves' by Blancmange mentioned aka my initial entry for the first Best Song Contest In The World... Ever!

before I switched *.*

 

Knew

Janet Jackson

was going to come up for that first category :lol:

 

The first question in round 2 :cheeseblock:

 

Well done guys on the great scores in recent times ^_^ glad to be back in the 30s for at least one round today.

Small catchup again!

 

Tuesday:

 

Round 1: 12 (missed

'God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II' (-6), 1998 (-3), Aztec Camera (-3), Willie Nelson (-6), Crazy Elephant (-6), Poly Styrene (-3)

)

Round 2: 9 (missed

Tracey Ullman (-3), T'Pau (-6), 2004 (-3), Eternal (-6), The S.O.S. Band (-3), 'Ms Grace' (-3), Atlantic Starr (-6)

)

3 in 10: 2/3 (

'Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)', 'Wish You Were Here'

) - really should have recalled

'Hey, Hey, Rise Up'

as well whoops, I did also think of

'Comfortably Numb'

but I knew that one didn't chart so didn't write it down

 

Bit of a flop oops, 1 year out x2 (a year early then a year late) and had no clue about any of the bonuses (I guessed

Crazy Dog

for round 1 question 9 which was along the right lines) :kink: first time I've heard a contestant get a 39 though! I wonder if there's ever been an episode where both contestants got 39 :thinking:

Today (Wednesday):

 

Round 1: 27 (missed

Little Richard (-6), 1975 (-3), Blue Pearl (-3)

)

 

A bit better! 4 years early and then 1 year late on the year questions. I got

Paul Weller

courtesy of the #1 albums sessions and

Blancmange

for the same reason as Jade :lol:

 

edit: I see there were a couple of others who were also 4 years early on round 1's year! And I also guessed

Jackie Wilson instead of Little Richard

for the same reason as Jim so feeling in good company with these wrong guesses today

 

Also whoever the guy filling in today was, he's very annoying oop. Bring back Ken or at least Spoony. x

Two rounds of 27 again, seems to be my usual score

 

When they reveal the topic

I also thought a Janet question

was coming :D

Round 1: 21 (didn't get:

The Art Of Noise, 1991 (three years out), Debbie Gibson, Simon Park Orchestra - knew the song but couldn't remember the series, go away TV/movie questions x

)

Round 2: 18 (didn't get:

Bellamy Brothers - grr said "go" instead of "flow"!, Barbara Dixon, Belle & Sebastian, Squeeze, Johnny Logan - oh dear said his other winner 'Hold Me Now'

)

Three-in-Ten: 3

(Nine Million Bicycles, What A Wonderful World, Fields of Gold)

 

Round 1: 27 - didn't get

1991 (like Jade I was 3 years out with 1988), Debbie Gibson, the TV series for Eye Level

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

Barbara Dickson

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

Closest Thing To Crazy, Nine Million Bicycles, The Flood - I've no recollection of her cover of Fields Of Gold being a hit in 2017

 

24, 24. 3 in 10 wasn't easy but got three

 

nice they asked about

my teen crush and favourite singer as a kid, Debbie Gibson <3

 

the years were easy today I thought

 

Round 1: 15 (missed

'Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent' (-3), 'Close (To The Edit)' (-6), 1991 (-3), Debbie Gibson (-3), Van Der Valk (-6), Toni Braxton (-3)

)

Round 2: 18 (missed

'Let Your Love Flow' (-3), Barbara Dickson (-6), Belle And Sebastian (-3), Squeeze (-6), Michelle Gayle (-3)

)

3 in 10: 3/3 (

'What A Wonderful World', 'Nine Million Bicycles', 'Fields Of Gold'

)

 

I think that's probably the most difficult 3 in 10 that I've managed to pull off so far x

 

1 year early for the round 1 year. Snap with Jade on a couple of things (as well as the 3 in 10 songs!) -

I also got the word to complete the Bellamy Brothers song wrong but with a rhyming word, thought it was 'Grow' oops, and also couldn't name the series for Simon Park Orchestra but knew the song title

.

 

I also finally managed to get a couple of tiebreak questions correct!

Got the Morrissey and Paul Simon ones, for Rihanna I confused 'Pon De Replay' with 'SOS' whoops

 

Round 1 : 33 Didn't get

The year, Debbie Gibson

 

Round 2 : 12 Much worse, didn't get

Bellamy Brothers, Barbara Dickson, the year, Belle & Sebastian, Michelle Gayle, Lulu, Orson

 

 

I can't believe it's 11 years since

James Arthur

was on the X Factor, I thought it was about six years.

 

I got 2 of the 4 tie-break questions correct.

 

3 in 10 : 1

9 Million Bicycles

 

How come nobody knows

Debbie Gibson!! :D you all go study, for a while she was huge, ala Britney :D

I know

'Shake Your Love'

by her but that's about it :lol:

 

I only even recognise the name from people thinking it was her instead of Debbie Harry featured on that Dolly Parton song a few weeks ago lol

 

(looked up her chart history on Polyhex, if she was ever culturally even 10% as big as Britney it's certainly not reflected in that with her 0 top 5 hits and only 2 top 10s :kink:)

 

Round 1: 30 - didn't get

Bruce Ruffin, Crystal Gayle

 

 

Round 2: 33 - didn't get

the next line for Angie

 

 

Three in ten: 3 -

How Can I Be Sure, I Think I Love You, Could It Be Forever

:cheeseblock:

Round 1: 27 (didn't get:

Bruce Ruffin, Crystal Gayle, Phil Collins

)

Round 2: 24 (didn't get:

Chuck Berry, Mr. Big, The Rolling Stones

)

Three-in-Ten: 2

(Daydreamer, How Can I Be Sure)

- could also recall the word

Puppy

from another song but couldn't remember the full title

Have just realised

I Think I Love You was The Partridge Family rather than David solo - I did also think of Daydreamer just in time though

 

 

(I got 4/4 on the tiebreakers yesterday)

Edited February 17, 20232 yr by jimwatts

God the second woman today was shite!

Round 1 : 30 Didn't get

The year, Bruce Ruffin

 

Round 2 : 12 Didn't get

Shaky, the year, Chuck Berry, Mr Big, Rolling Stones, Emili Sande

 

 

The name the next line bonus round was tricky.

 

3 in 10 : 0 I couldn't even remember his number 1 singles

Round 1: 12 (missed

Five Star (-6), 2007 (-3), 'I Can Make You Feel Good' (-3), 'Mad About You' (-6), 'Desire' (-3), Crystal Gayle (-3), 'Dance Into The Light' (-3)

)

Round 2: 12 (missed

all of the 'next lines' (-6 x3), 1979 (-3), Dannii Minogue (-3), Mr. Big (-3)

)

3 in 10: 0/3 -

I made the same mistake as I did once before iirc saying 'Daydream' instead of 'Daydreamer' lol (he does have songs with both of those titles but 'Daydream' wasn't a hit). Would never have got any others anyway though

 

 

Lord I cannot think of a bonus round that is less suited to me than that 'next line' one :lol: I did at least get 1/6 bonuses today by managing to completely guess

Aswad

but otherwise a disaster oops. Was 1 year early for both years as well :'(

I should have got Mr. Big too, could picture the music video in my head but just couldn't recall the band name!

 

Round 1: 27 (didn't get:

Bruce Ruffin, Crystal Gayle, Phil Collins

)

Round 2: 24 (didn't get:

Chuck Berry, Mr. Big, The Rolling Stones

)

Three-in-Ten: 2

(Daydreamer, How Can I Be Sure)

- could also recall the word

Puppy

from another song but couldn't remember the full title

 

Are you thinking of Puppy Love? If so, that was Donny Osmond.

 

 

I too did really badly on the next lines bonus round. I might have scraped points on one of them by being close enough.

Are you thinking of Puppy Love? If so, that was Donny Osmond.

No it was

'The Puppy Song'!
