22 stormzy

3 rhianna?

Good stuff Squares - let's know if you're gonna do another one...give us a five minute warning
There's one very famous one you didn't throw in that's always in quizzes...whose real name is James Stewart?
It's along the same lines as Michael Douglas which you did throw in.

I figure this to be wrong (surely) but is 19 Kiki Dee?

21 Pink

2 Barbara Striesand maybe

STORMZY
RIHANNA
KIKI DEE
and
PINK
correct

*totally content now*

2.

That looks good to me aspro

I'm quite shocked at that Squares. First #1... who'd have thought it?

Gibberish, think I know that one. Didn't Stewart Granger have to change his name from James Stewart because of the clash with, well, the very famous James Stewart of course!

Hfink - that's it mate...you go to quizzes too?

7 Cher? (turn back time video)

Is no 9 mama cass, thought her surname was elliot though

I've always found it interesting that a lot of the time, these people who change their names are said to retain a bit of their identity, though looking at Squares' list, that theory looks utter bollox!

not Cher, it's a London singer soon to hit 50

Yes, MAMA CASS is correct

Hi Gibberish; no, I take a bit of an interest in cinema on occasion, and remember reading about this one many years ago and testing the guys in the office on it (as you do!) By my general knowledge for quizzes is terrible. I'm okay on some movie stuff (especially if it's 1970's, my favourite era - have a liking for American crime movies for some reason, lol!)

So, assuming she's almost 50, then we have to look at late 80's early 90's. Did she wear an eye patch perhaps?

Hopefully will jog something with the rest of you

that's the one Aspro

I can vaguely recall it, but not coming to me at present

Gabrielle. (sorry)

is that the eye patch HGS? If it is, don't be sorry, I wouldn't have got it

Yeah it is. She had some good songs imo.

If I can't get them, I'm more than happy to bounce it around with you guys

Teamwork!

6 bruno tonioli? Not 'revel' horwood.

you have the right member of the Strictly panel, but the clue is to lead you to a singer.

bruno mars

a sweet name in itself.

Just throwing ideas out there for others to think about... Cartoon Character Felix perhaps?

yeah, was thinking simpson mesen aspro

What have sweets and music got in common

Thy're both better without the (w)rappers.

Sorry squares, I'll get me coat.

BRUNO MARS correct.

I'll drink to that btf

ditto

Agreed boxing!

16 Andrew 'garfield'?

That fits

Is Gabrielle correct?

1.  Yvette Stevens - CHAKA KHAN

2.  Caryn Johnson - US actress, born in 55, it's funny when she takes a seat.  Not seen her in much lately, maybe she is out of the habit.

3.  Robyn Fenty - RIHANNA
4.  Declan McManus - ELVIS COSTELLO

6.  Peter Hernandez - BRUNO MARS
7.  Louise Bobb - GABRIELLE

13. Mary O'Brien - DUSTY SPRINGFIELD
14. Eileen Edwards - SHANIA TWAIN

17. Rory Graham - RAG N BONE MAN

26. Elliott Gleave - EXAMPLE
27. Michael Douglas - MICHAEL KEATON

28. Adam Wiles - has had nearly 20 top 3 singles, many collaborations, some feature in this list

29. Shawn Carter - JAY-Z

hopefully up to date with correct answers and expanded some of the clues

16 Shaggy

Speaking of tomorrow's quiz which i have to compile.  Is it frowned upon if I throw in a few more recent than 1999?

not Shaggy

Frowned upon no, nuking our (old) brains most definitely

Be the same for me as 50 and 60's so why not? 70-90's i've got a chance.

It is a two-word name, not exactly the same as the name of the comic strip character but the first 5 letters are.

Aspro

...maybe she is out of the 'habit' ...

2. Whoopie Goldberg  ?

I think we have a BINGO chaps!

Oh of course, just got the 'seat' reference as well...whoopie cushion! lol

2. is WHOOPI GOLDBERG

Absolute star in Ghost

It was always a shame that Whoopie never married Gerard Depardieu...

Film would have been total sh*te otherwise

Ah, I see it's "Whoopi" not "Whoopie", my bad spelling!

gotta go in 10.

No. 10 - you have two of the letters in front of you already, just add one more.

no. 16. - this rapper is black.  The comic strip character is white.

No. 28 is Scottish

28 - Midge Ure

No. 25 - the Christian name I am talking about appears in the lyrics of My Baby Just Cares for Me

Gotta be right (if not said before). Had loads of top 3 hits and is Scottish (I believe)

28 is mid 30s and his surname suggests he might wear tweed

No 10 is from a group who can't wait for the weekend to be over

Calvin Harris

CALVIN HARRIS correct.

10 Bez

I assume 'Bez' is from Happy Mondays?

Yeah. Really should have got that before now.

BEZ correct.

Gotta go.

Latched onto the group straight away, but know none of the members

What was the rapper squares? Cheers for the quiz. Glad I stuck around as didn't have a scooby at the beginning.

Me either. Kiki Dee only came from the clue, otherwise I wouldn't have got it, although I missed nearly an hour on the phone (that's my excuse )

Cheers squares, that was a tough list, one for the hard-core quizzers!

Not bad; managed to squeeze two out of an afternoon only (almost). Thank you squares. Now to finish Last Man on Earth to a conclusion.
