Music Quiz: 7 to 1 Female Artists

28 Comments

1. Ooh, very tough at the end. Got 24 with no problem but then stumbled with my guesses and ended up with 25/28. Well played with your 27. Will anyone top that? Only time will tell.

   • It’s an interesting mix of critically acclaimed artists (Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Carly Rae Jepsen) and radio fodder. I knew a fair chunk of them, but guessed the last few Whitney Houston and Beyonce songs.

2. I had some suck-sess. 18/28. No clue on many of them. The snarky comment it gave me was, “You’re all about the average, aren’t you?” I guess so. Waah!

   • It’s more geared to my generation, I think – it’s mostly from the mid 1980s onwards, even Aretha Franklin’s songs include a couple from that era. I’d struggle if it included stuff like Doris Day and Peggy Lee.

     • See, those I would totally get! 🙂

   • Ha ha. I stopped when it looked like I’d come in under 10. Might go back and complete it to see how it slaps me down.

     • “OK, now that you are all warmed up, let’s do this for real!”
       Let’s not.

       • I guess I’ve used two pretty poppy quizzes in a row – should do something different next week.

         • I’m constantly amazed how well some of your /our regulars (middle aged men, to a, ah, man) do on these diva sprinkled quizzes. I wouldn’t know a Beyonce or a Swift if they flew in my window.

         • A swift is similar to a swallow, but no idea what a beyonce bird is.

         • Also, I have small daughters, which probably helps.

         • A-Ha! You’re secret is out!

         • I like to think I’m not quite middle-aged – I don’t know what the definition is. I’m late thirties, which I think applies to a few others too.

         • Fair enough then. Appropriate knowledge for prime adults with female children!

         • Prime adults, I like that much better.

3. Nope. I wasn’t any good on this one.

4. No, I cannot.

5. Oooft. 17 for me.

   • Doesn’t seem like too bad a score this week.

6. 13/28. I knew most of the Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey hits, the rest I managed only 1 or 2 songs

   • Yeah, I knew all the Mariah Carey stuff from the radio going up.

7. Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey , Miley Cyrus…. obviously I have an allergy to them as I pulled in with 25 with mostly guesses and feel the need to cleanse my mental jukebox now before I walk around the house humming Halo

   • An aural enema.

8. Mehhhh 22/28. I just don’t know the pop tarts. I got all the Aretha ones though, of course.

   • I thought Day Dreaming was pretty obscure actually. It was easily the least guessed in the stats.

9. 25/28 for me. Not great, but not too bad.

   • I think that makes you first equal currently.

     • Cool. We will see if it holds.
