Close your eyes, make a wish!

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!

No shame in an extra 300, Harrison!
Not at all.
I am somewhat amazed to get 300.
Amazing work, Neil!
500. I watched a documentary about them recently.
A well-timed documentary, Graham!
300. They were in an episode of Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, I think.
I had forgotten that – that would have fit well with the other Will Smith clues!
500 for me. Those guys can sing.
That they can, John!

CCC thanks to the Romans.
You know your roman numerals, D!
300 because I know some movie titles.
I’m pleased these were among those known titles, Kevin!
300. I am familiar with the Mariah Carey song, but that’s about it.
I’m pleased the familiarity with the tune was enough, Sarca!
500. I remember Seth Rogan calling them “Motown Philly” in the movie Long Shot.
I’ll have to rewatch Long Shot – I remember enjoying it!
I’m there with the bunch of 300s this week. Many thanks for the film clue or I really never would have got this one.
I’m pleased the film clue helped, JP!
