I really have to wonder how old people who take these quizzes are? Sheeeeetttt..... I guessed most of the ones from the bottom of the list. I mean seriously only 59% of the people know who Dean Martin is?
I mean, Dean Martin's been dead for over 20 years and hasn't released an album or been in a movie for more than 30, so I can't say I'm terribly surprised that a lot of people don't recognize him.
Knowing who Dean Martin is and being able to identify him from a picture with very little context are not the same thing. For example, I know who Flo Rida is, but I couldn't discern him from most other rappers because I don't know what most of them look like. Same goes for me when it comes to new pop starlets (Selena Gomez, Haillie Steinfield (or whatever her name is), Vanessa Hudgens, Camila Cabello...) I know their names and what they do, but I can't tell their photos apart. I'm sure the same is true for younger people with Dean Martin. You can tell from the photo that it's an old singer. Young people might not know whether it's Sinatra, Crosby, Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson, Robert Goulet, Jimmie Rodgers, Al Jolson...but that doesn't mean they don't know who Dean Martin is.
Boy the Lizard King looks bad in that picture. It's not very often that you see a picture of Jerry Garcia and think that he's not the worst looking person in the group.
Did they purposefully choose a nondescript photo of Britney Spears? She's interchangeable with a long list of blonde singers from the last forty years here!
Even Victoria Beckham would be reluctant to refer to herself as a musician - she recently admitted that her microphone was often turned off during her "live" performances
I don't usually have a complaint on who's included on these quizzes , usually a nice mix of genres and eras but Victoria Beckham . Noooooooo. If you need to include a spice girl what about Mel C the only one who had a decent voice .
Should have put the title as "singers" instead of "musicians."
Would like a quiz with people who aren't known for singing but for the instruments they play: Bill Monroe, Glenn Gould, The Edge, Flea, Anushka Shankar, etc...
I know a lot of people are complaining about who is included, but I think the quizzes in this series have an excellent mix of artists from a variety of different genres and times!
Musicians? Victoria Beckham! Naughty, naughty!
