Ready for Quiz #7?
I’m hanging on a moment of truth!

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!

Though from the world of fiction, John William Weichselbrauniacs might be my preference!

400 please. Though it was Gwen Stefani on the 500 one
*Thought
That first name was a bit of an unintentional misdirect!
500. I can understand why she uses a stage name – hard to pronounce and remember!
I counted 13 syllables in the birth name!
500 each for me and Mika.
Well played, Mika & James – knowledge of Polka face might have helped this morning!
500
Nice work, Jimmy!
500 glittery fab cool costume changing points!
Oh la la, TVTA!
🤩
500 this week please, Stephen…the product of a little too much knowledge of my own generation!!
And the generation knowledge paid off today, Adela!
400 for me although I knew I had heard that name before, I couldn’t place it.
I’m pleased the name arrived at the 500 clue, John!
500. Only one artist has a ridiculously long birth name like that.
It would be a tricky one to fit on the back of a hockey jersey!
500 please. I will always remember her this way.
And I’m pleased the memory helped earn a perfect score, Steve!
400 points. Man that first clue I thought it was Gwen. Good form of word trickery their Teacher! lol
In case your wondering we are currently at Day 7 with the morning temp being -40! Supposedly one more to go than it gets mild…lol
It’s crazy when something like -10 feels mild by comparison!
500 today.
Excellent work, D!
Another 500 please!
Actually check that – 400. On My phone the first two clues were strung together and I got it on the fan base clue 😀
Then the 500 streak continues, Paul – the fan base was part 2 of the 500 clue!
500… but that’s a lot of names, no?
The stage name is slightly more concise!
Haha. Only slightly but definitely more honorific.
500! Love her appearances on the Stern show.
Sounds promising!
I keep getting 500s, I must be born this way.
You’ve arrived at Glory, No longer on the edge of it, Mike!
500!!
Splendid work, Sarca!
500!! Woop!!
Woop indeed, J!
500 points, yay! I knew who it was once I read the clue for her fanbase and for her history in the industry, I can see why! I agree, great voice!
Outstanding work, Lana – well done!
Thanks so much for the boost Geoff!
400. Shows how devoted a fan I am!
Read: not at all.
I’m pleased that such limited devotion still led to a good score, Holen!
I don’t know why I knew the fanbase name at 500 but I did. So, yay?
You never know when such seemingly extraneous knowledge may come in handy!
I can’t tell you anything important, but I know stuff like this. Welcome to my brain. lol
Seemingly useless knowledge tends to pay off ’round here!
Once again I am glad to have found this Community!
500 please.
splendid work, Joe!
500 the lack of power for ten days has sharpened my senses
I’m pleased to hear both the power has returned & that it resulted in a perfect score!
