[Mark]

Hello! Just like the BB quiz there now is a Pop Idol quiz for you all to get posting on!

Lets see if we can make it as big as the BB one!

I will start the quiz off!

The same rules apply as the BB quiz, you must wait conformation that you have answered the correct question before posting yours!

Question 1 - Name all 4 judges and their surnames!

- Mark :hello:

[BigSister]

Nikki Chapman
Neil Fox
Simon Cowell
Pete Waterman

:elephant: :elephant: :elephant: :elephant:

[Mark]

Well done Big Sister!

Your turn to answer the next question!

- Mark

[BigSister]

Ok

Who were the 11 finalists and Surnames plz

:elephant: :elephant: :elephant: :elephant:

[kaphc]

Rik Waller
Darius Danesh
Will Young
Gareth Gates
Zoe Birkett
Hayley Evetts
Korben (in real life he has a surname but on Pop Idol he was just known as Korben I think)
Aaron Bayley
Laura Doherty
Rosie Ribbons
Jessica Garlick

That's the lot I think?!

[BigSister]

You are right Kaphc

Over to you :thumbs:

[Kaz]

Did you all know that Korben's real name was Chris Niblett? :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry to butt in with that useless piece of information. :blush:

Over to you with the next question, kaphc! :thumbs:

[kaphc]

That does ring a bell with me somewhere Kaz, thanks for mentioning that as I knew he did have a "real name" somewhere!

OK, I think I will keep to the easy questions for now (I hope) ....

Cast your minds back to the heats that got the final 50 down to the final 10.

Who finished second in the heat that Gareth won?

:dazzler: :joker: :joker: :dazzler:

[Graeme]

I think it was Zoe cos that's why they became "close" friends :thumbs:

[kaphc]

Correct Graeme!!!

:colour: :hello: :colour: :hello:

It was a close thing between her and Haifa though, as I remember, Gareth won by miles!!

:dazzler:

Over to you for the next question .....

[Graeme]

I think this is a bit of a hard one.

What Did Will Sing In the Auditions Stage and what did the Judges dislike about his peformance?

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

[Mairi]

I think it was "Blame it on the Boogie" and the judges didn't like his dancing, but I could be wrong!!

:dance:

[Graeme]

Absolutely.....correct!:thumbs:

Over To You...

[Mairi]

I thought his little dance was quite cute, myself!!

My question is:

What was the name of the girl who sang "YMCA"?

:dazzler:

[bonzobravo]

Caroline Buckley

Can I just say in general I hated Pop idol (only watched it a couple of times, not by choice though)

I saw her in the heat magazine the other day!

HONESTLY!!!

[LEE]

Well I, along with most of the other members of this forum at that time, loved Pop Idol - we watched it avidly.

Caroline Buckley couldn't sing but she knew it and was a very good sport - especially having the nerve to get up and sing in the final. I saw her mentioned in Heat as well - she has a pantomime role. I say good for her, lets hope she makes a bit of money out of it and has a good time.

It's your turn to set a question Bonzo.

:flower:

[bonzobravo]

I don't know much about Pop Idol so its a simple question:

Name the final 3 in Pop Idol, in the right order?

[finch]

Will first
Gareth second
Darius third

[bonzobravo]

Over to you finch

[finch]

which episode of the popidol extra fell off the air?

[BigSister]

Was it the final after Will had won?

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

[finch]

yes that's correct

[BigSister]

My question is

In the 2nd week of final 10 they sang christmas songs

What did everyone sing?

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

[Kaz]

Let's get these quizzes going again, folks! :hello:

BigSister, I'm afraid I can only name two of the Christmas songs. :bawling:

Darius sang 'When a Child is Born', and Will :hugesmile: sang 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland'.

I can't for the life of me remember the rest - can anyone help me out? :conf:

[Romantic Old Bird]

I can do three:

Jessica sang the Shakin' Stevens number 'Merry Christmas Everyone'

Zoe sang"All I Want For Christmas"

Hayley sang 'Rocking around the Christmas Tree'

[BigSister]

Gareth Sang last christmas, Rosie sang Santa Baby, Laura sang I wish it could be christmas and Aaron sang White Christmas

Here is an easier 1

Name the member of One True Voice that Hayley is rumoured to be dating

:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

[Romantic Old Bird]

I believe I read somewhere that it was Keith Semple

[BigSister]

you are correct ROB

Your turn

:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Oh God, what to ask now???
OK, who has American Pop idol winner Kelly Clarkson been rumoured to be dating?

[Graeme]

Simon Cowell by any chance?

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry Graeme, not right - good guess though!!

[finch]

simon fuller?

[bbceleb1]

was it Justin Timberlake?

[Kaz]

Are any of these guesses correct, ROB?

('Cause I haven't got a clue! :blush:)

:laugh:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry folks, no. A clue:

Involved in the same show, but NOT a judge!

[finch]

Nigel Lythgoe

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry finch, nope.

Oh dear, it seems to be really difficult doesn't it?

Well, here is a picture of him with her -
http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/03/american.idol/vert.final.2.jpg

and bbceleb was half right!

[James]

The guy with the afro is Justin Guarini, runner-up of American Idol.

But I had to cheat and search for that on the web. Sorry. :shocked:

[Kaz]

Awwww, how sweet - looks like they're wearing matching lipstick! :blush: :laugh:

I hadn't heard a dickybird that these two were now an item!

So, ROB - is James correct? :conf:

[Romantic Old Bird]

He is indeed correct.

Thank goodness for that!

James, my friend, over to you........

[James]

Hmm, I don't know too much much about Pop Idol but here's a question.

When Will Young sang at his first audition he told the judges he was going to sing Blame it on the Boogie by The Jackson 5.

There's something (slightly) inaccurate about what he said. What was it?

[Janette]

Did he say it was a Michael Jackson song? Not a Jackson 5 one?


:conf:

[James]

No, but you're close Janette.

:hugesmile:

[Janette]

One more try then,


Did he say it was called "Don't blame it on the boogie"?


:hugesmile:

[James]

Well he did say 'Don't blame it on the boogie' which is indeed slightly inaccurate, but that wasn't what I was thinking about. It's something else.

Not a very good question this, is it? :hugesmile:

[James]

OK, another clue.

The answer's do with him mentioning The Jackson 5.

:hugesmile:

[Janette]

Was it The Jacksons without Michael??????????????

[James]

Not exactly. I'm going to give you it though because you're close enough.

It's because Blame it on the Boogie was released after The Jackson 5 changed their name to The Jacksons - when they changed their record company.

Well done Janette. :thumbs: Your turn.

:hugesmile:

[Janette]

Phew! That was hard work James!!!!!


OK, here comes a nice easy one,

What was Gareth's sister called? (the one who auditioned with him)


:thumbs:

[finch]

natasha

[Janette]

Well done, your turn Finch


:thumbs:

[finch]

what comments did Will make about ant and Dec at the last 100

[Kaz]

I haven't a clue!!!!! :bawling:

Anyone? :conf:

:spin2:

[Kaz]

We seem to have reached stalemate just now - nobody knows the answer to this question, and Finch hasn't been on the forum recently to give us the answer and set another one.

So in the meantime, here's an easy question to keep the quiz moving along. :thumbs:

Which song did Will sing during the 'Big Band' week? :dazzler:

[Janette]

It was a song by Harry Connick Jnr, and I think it's called "Yes We Are"


:thumbs:

[Kaz]

You've got the original singer of the song right, Janette . . . . .

. . . . . . . but unfortunately not the correct title! :bawling:

[Janette]

We Are In Love



(thanks Google)


:thumbs:

[Kaz]

Correct! :thumbs:

And absolutely stonking it was too. :hello: :dazzler: :hello:

Your turn. :laugh:

[Janette]

In the final 50, what 2 words did Simon Cowell use to describe Will's performance?


:thumbs:

[Kaz]

Seeing as no-one has had a go at this, and much as it pains me to say it . . . . . .

Simon Cowell described Will's performance as distinctly average, I think. :conf:

And how wrong was he!!!!!!!!!!!! :hello:

[Janette]

How did I guess you'd get that one right Kaz?

:hugesmile:


Over to you, m'dear :thumbs:

[Kaz]

I have absolutely no idea, Janette. :blush: :laugh:

Anyway . . . . . . . . . next question!

Which three of the final ten have the same initials for their christian name and surname?

:dazzler:

[Janette]

Rosie Ribbons :sleep:

Darius Danesh :love:

Gareth Gates :nono:

[Kaz]

Completely correct! :hello:

Your go again! :thumbs:

Feel free to join in, everyone!!!!! :laugh:

[Janette]

Ok, a mega easy one for all the GG fans!


What did Gareth Gates sing in the final 50?


:sleep:

[BigSister]

Was it Flying without Wings?:conf:

[Janette]

Well done Bigsister :hello:

[BigSister]

Which Pop idols have record deals now (This counts anyone who has appeared on Pop Idol)

:elephant::elephant::elephant:

[Janette]

Can we have some sort of clue?


:thumbs:

[kaphc]

I'll have a guess at:

Rik Waller
Sarah Whatmore
Darius Danesh
Rosie Ribbons
Gareth Gates
Will Young
Zoe Birkett

I can't think of any more that might have a deal unless it's something recent or someone I've forgotten!

[BigSister]

Your turn

:elephant::elephant::elephant:

[kaphc]

Thanx.

Oh, Pop Idol seems such a long time ago now .... it's hard to think up something to ask!

In the Abba week, which song did Rosie Ribbons sing (in a very off-key sort of way!)?

[Kaz]

She was REALLY bad that week. :bawling:

I think that the song she murdered was 'The Winner Takes It All'

Painful! :spin2:

[kaphc]

Yes, that is 100% correct Kaz.

:hello::hello::hello:

[Kaz]
