Tonight I'm playing as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO/METLCA and Phil PLBAAB.
Here's how my game went and my comments: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/10...I'm in a big group of 7 players in the lead. .............LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/10. I go 0 for 1 guessing and get help on one of them. The LineUp...ROCKET...12500/15000...1st/10...my two win round. ...........LITBOX...12500/15000...1st/10. I got 8 right out of 10 for a good round. I guessed two right and Rob got us one. There were a few repeat questions this week. Triviaoke...ROCKET...17360/25000...1st/11...my two win round. ..........LITBOX...17360/25000...1st/11...I think I took three -250s in this round. Rob got us a few. Opening Act...ROCKET...24860/35000...1st/11...COSMO wins round. ................LITBOX...24860/35000...1st/11. The pound-key round. I got seven right for 1000, two for +250, none for -250 and one I didn't answer. Headliner...ROCKET....37610/56250...1st/11. ............LITBOX...37610/56250...1st/11...I think our group all stuck together listening to me. KELLY CLARKSON AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD:...I knew I was going to a soccer trade show today so didn't bother to make notes as I saw that there would be six different artists to study. I did predict it would be these artists as they both have had short careers so far and it would be hard to come up with ten questions on one of them. The other artists have been singing for decades and will maybe someday have the week to themselves. I forgot to turn my microrecorder on so missed the first four questions. What I remember now is...Q. Carrie Underwood sang an accoustic version of which Pretenders song? --I'll Stand By You...Q. Kelly Clarkson song "Behind These _______ Eyes"--Hazel (asked in other weeks)...Q. Which of these facts is NOT true about Carrie Underwood?--(something about) went to college ...6. All of these Carrie Underwood songs made the Top 10 in the US Country chart except:--Inside Your Heaven...7. Kelly Clarkson sings she's looking for attention not _________ in her song 'Walk Away':--Another Question...8. What is the title of Carrie Underwood's second album released in 2007?--Carnival Ride... 9. Kelly Clarkson't first single after winning American Idol was this ballad:--A Moment Like This... 10. In a 2008 hit, Carrie Underwood sings about not knowing a guy's:--Last Name.
I missed question 6 which ruined the momentum of building bonus points. This really was a great round for not putting much effort into it.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual. I ensure that everyone puts in that wager.

The kind of notes I make do match songs with albums so it would have been easy if I'd have put the effort into it. I don't know this but try to think of what I think is NOT one of her songs. I was thinking it was either '2' or '3' because I did recognize the other songs as hers. The titles of '2' and '4' are too similar to be from one album I think. Maybe because of there being a question in the Triviaoke round about The Eagles which Rob got for us, in the back of my mind I think of the Eagles song 'Already Gone'.
Correct Answer:....2. Already Gone
[NTN Extra Fact:...'Already Gone' is from Clarkson's 2009 album 'All I Ever Wanted'.]
I luck-in by not having listened to Clarkson's latest album so I didn't confuse that song.
