Musicians by Picture #1

Are you implying that Usher is a 'trough'?

Well I knew them all by face so that must mean that they are at least well known. If their music is good or not is another thing.

There were only four I didn't know - and one I'm kicking myself for missing - so I assume those four are well known to some people at least. Just curious, who of these do you not consider famous? Or, as Jorissie said, do you think some of them don't deserve to be singled out?

I only knew 1.

Every single person on here is very famous. You understand that your personal familiarity with someone is not the measure of fame, right?

famous or talented? not all of them write amazing music but you cannot deny the fact that everyone on here is widely known

Really? I recognized her instantly. Katy Perry on the other hand was tough for me.

There are more quizzes in this series, and most of those you named are on one of the other quizzes.

it's a shame we can't include every musician ever on one quiz

that guy just wants to make life difficult for that guy

This is a very fair criticism. I tried Hewson and Vox for Bono which both should be acceptable type-ins.

Gold star for knowing something that was not the subject of the quiz. I'll even throw in a pat on the head. Happy now?

I agree, there's certainly skill gaps, but you have no right to tear them down. Even if you don't like their music, you can't deny that it's popular. I'm not a fan of Olivia Rodrigo or Zayn Malik, but I can appreciate that some people do like them. It is not the end of the world for both sets of people to be on one list.

And Sinatra barely wrote any of his hundreds of songs, almost all covers. This doesn't suddenly make him a horrible musician because he has a great voice and made the songs his own and different from the prior versions. I'm just using this example because he's also on the quiz and considered a legend, there are others, but this is not a valid reason to call someone a fraud.

It was one of the most beautiful pictures of her. Most of her more recognizable images are ones where she's wearing one of her iconic outfits like the meat dress or bubble dress, or in a weirdly cut blonde wig and sunglasses or wearing extreme stage makeup etc., all of which she wore only while performing, to be provocative and/or make some statement, NOT to be pretty. Her more recent appearances have mostly been understated by comparison, and we've gotten to see closer to what she really looks like.

Not sure what you mean, there's only one Pop on here :)

That little hint helped me too.
