Wednesday at 20:304 days Glad I wasn't alone with misinterpreting that question Now I wonder if I would've got Val Doonican if I'd read it properly and worked backwards haha

As a compromise I've given out points to anyone who gave "What Makes A Man" as an answer. Told you I didn't have this play-tested!That's actually very generous of you, thank you! I just couldn't work out how Val Doonican fitted with What Makes A Man and didn't even think there might be an alternative way to think about the question! In hindsight I don't think it's that unreasonably worded actually!
Thursday at 09:403 days Ironically, I remember Brian McFadden saying he hated the Seasons In The Sun video because the label made them dress in turtlenecks to sell to an older audience, and he felt like they looked like a band of Val Doonicans!
Thursday at 09:403 days Also can I take this opportunity to plug this week's quiz (Song Pictionary), which I'm running over in the Lounge. In case you haven't seen it, you can access it here: https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/283105-quiz-season-week-4-the-return-of-mangos-song-pictionary/

Can't believe some people got Ida Corr but didn't recognise Eurovision legend Flo Rida 😭But omg, Emma Buntonight tonight was a complete fluke (I don't even think this is the one I considered I might 'luck out on', that's still to come 😁), I obviously knew Emma and then just came up with something that could smash with her surname and I'd recently been reminded of the hit by Hot Chelle Rae.

Thursday at 12:213 days Really wish I’d had chance to enter this (although I find timed quizzes almost unbearably stressful). I’d have got most of them so far but I definitely wouldn’t have recognised The Doors and not sure I’d have managed to work back from Orson, plus I’d have also been thrown by Westlife / Bob.

Thursday at 16:533 days Wow Apache was never a hit here? That's the one I used to hear in clubs EVERY night back in the 2010s.

Thursday at 17:023 days Yeah I knew it wasn't Zara, but couldn't think of a female artist whose surname ended in "ra" or "rapp" at the time - worked it out 3 days too late, and it seems obvious now!Good luck Rich in the 100% quest!
Thursday at 20:453 days I don't really know who Renee Rapp is and was pretty confident about Goldfrapp as the only reasonable answer, so that's disappointing!

Thursday at 23:213 days Ah so it was Sunchyme, that was my other option. Was Spinning The Wheel also a number 2 behind Candle In The Wind or have I made that up?
