Let’s go!

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)
Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.
Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.
After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.
Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.
I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.
In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.
In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.
Here goes!

Verbalize the Positive
Although the Lord of the Rings trilogy was terrific on its own, choosing to wrap up the trilogy with this artist’s voice in the closing credits made it that much better!

400.
I’m loving these quizzes by the way, even though I’m not the highest scoring…
Cheers JP – I enjoy making them!
500. She’s older than I thought she’d be though.
Well played!
500
Nice work!
500. I’m older than I thought I was.
Splendid work Bruce!
500, sounds of my youth.
A fine soundtrack for your youth – and a fine score too!
300 points. I didn’t know this artist was Scottish
Well played Chris!
500!
Outstanding work tangerinetrees99!
Who’s that beautiful blonde boy with the voice of an angel? It’s 300 points!
Milo.
Well played Milo!
had Sweet dreams of a cool 300 smack a roos Geoff
Haha, Who am I to Disagree with that score Deke!
300 for me, she is a lost older than I thought. Really surprising.
I think some weeks the birthday clue helps narrow it down – I think this will be one of those weeks where it ends up being more confusing as I agree, I wouldn’t have guessed she was born in ’54!
This time it threw me. I was going through the list of Divas from the early 90’s and she came across my mind, but I was like, she ain’t that old.
500! ✌
Spectacular work Sarca!
400! I had no idea where she was from!
Nice work Mike!
500. I didn’t know she was on the LOTR soundtrack! I vaguely remember Enya, and that’s all I remember of Enya🤔
I’m not sure if Enya will be a featured artist this year – but if so, that trivia tidbit might come in handy!
300. I never knew she was Scottish.
Well done Zack!
Another 200 for me.
Well done D!
500! A big favourite in our house when I was younger… quite the voice!
Quite the voice indeed – and quite the score too J, nice work!
500 for Mika, 400 for me
Well done James & Mika!
only 300 this week but i have missed yet another one! can i say i think would have done well with both Anthrax and Bon Jovi, too late! Here’s that FS post, if you wanna look/read too? https://a1000mistakes.wordpress.com/2016/10/20/classics-albums-in-the-wee-small-hours-by-frank-sinatra/
I wouldn’t say 300 is ‘only’ – I’d say it’s good!
400. Sorry I’m late! Busy day yesterday!
As Keith Richards said, the later the greater!
500 for the second half of your clue, but I wouldn’t have guessed 1954, I’d have guessed later, like 1964. Bet she’d like that!
Another fine score!
zero ?
