Moopy Family Fortunes 2019 - FINAL WEEK RESULTS!

[Ellie]

Is Akon a CRIMINAL? What for?

I don’t even know, but his name is literally “A Konvict”

 

[octophone]

Gary G was always going to walk away with that one. Britain's most famous bastard.

 

[Jacques]

Damn, R Kelly was my other thought

Why did the Rihanna question not trigger more people to think Chris Brown

 

[Alla]

David Crosby of CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH?

Crosby was arrested in a Dallas nightclub in April 1982 for possessing a .45-caliber handgun and freebasing cocaine. Crosby began carrying a gun for protection after John Lennon was killed. Crosby was convicted in June 1983 and sentenced on Aug. 5, 1983, receiving five years for the drugs and three years for the gun charges, to be served concurrently.

It looks like a joke, these days you're convicted in USA if you don't carry a weapon

4. Name a Mariah Carey album

The Emancipation of Mimi (10)

Butterfly (9)

Music Box (5)

My reaction was mainly to do with someone from Crosby, Stills and Nash coming to mind FIRST!

Oh come on...did Gary Glitter not inspire more people to think of "Glitter"? How contrary you lot can be.

I thought Music Box was her big album.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Here's where some serious fuckwittery begins.

 

[Rita]

Here's where some serious fuckwittery begins.

Oh HERE WE GO.

 

[Jacques]

Poor Elusive Chanteuse

 

[Yvonne Mondle]

IKR. Obviously the girls chose their favourites instead

 

[Rita]

I don’t even know, but his name is literally “A Konvict”

@Phoenix. I know you don't use Google, but the Beatles broke up in 1970.

 

[dmlaw]

I had no idea. Maybe he is in solitary at the moment and that is why his career has died?

No, that was because he's fucking shit.

 

[Rita]

I am very surprised The Rolling Stones are so low. Not that I even thought of them, but they were HUGE.

 

[Ellie]

The Beatles a 70s act?

Well I think they had a couple of months in 1970

 

[AGinAg (37)]

In case anyone is wondering where the midweeks are, I'm not doing them this week. For tension like.

 

[octophone]

I am very surprised The Rolling Stones are so low. Not that I even thought of them, but they were HUGE.

They're not really a "rock" band tho', are they?

 

[Yvonne Mondle]

I didn’t even think of Queen or Led Zeppelin. I just chose an obviously unpopular one who I like

 

[Rita]

They're not really a "rock" band tho', are they?

What are they then? I would have thought rock all day long?

 

[octophone]

Well I think they had a couple of months in 1970

Last session together was August 1969, it wasn't announced until April 1970 tho'.

 

[wendy the Go_At]

I fucking put Led Zeppelin but changed it at the last minute

 

[octophone]

What are they then? I would have thought rock all day long?

I would say they're a blues band who went psych...I lose interest after Brian Jones dies.

You know a lot more about music than me. You are probably right.

 

[octophone]

“Freak Out”

That were Zappa, weren't it?

 

[Phoenix]

I used google for some of these but I couldn’t be arsed to google all. I blame Yoko.

 

[Alla]
