Headliner:...CHRISTINA AGUILERA over Faith Hill and Jewel
Encore Question:...Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott covered this song for the 'Shark Tale' soundtrack:
Tonight I'm playing with my two boards and Rob COSMO/ONJ and Phil PLBAAB.
Here's how my game went and my comments: Tune Up...ROCKET...4000/5000...3rd/5...COSMO wins round. Rob gets his ONJ board signed on in time for the second question. .............LITBOX...4000/5000...3rd/5...I go 1 for 3 in guessing. The LineUp...ROCKET...14000/15000...3rd/5...we all co-win this round. ...........LITBOX...14000/15000...3rd/5. All our boards go 10 for 10 for a good score. Triviaoke...ROCKET...20640/25000...5th/5...COSMO wins round. ..........LITBOX...20690/25000...4th/5...I take two -250s this round and get help on two questions. Opening Act...ROCKET...28390/35000...4th/5...not sure who won round. ................LITBOX...28440/35000...3rd/5. The Pound key round. I must have got 8 right for 1000, 0 for +250, 1 for -250, and 1 I didn't answer for a good round. Headliner...ROCKET...38140/56250...4th/5. ............LITBOX...38190/56250...3rd/5...I didn't have time to make notes about any of the artists (the soccer season keeps me busy) but I found some from over a year ago about Christina Aguilera so brought them to read on the subway. Lucky me! CHRISTINA AGUILERA:...1. On which song does Christina Aguilera vow 'Words can't bring me down'?--Beautiful...2. Christina Aguilera sings on 'Lady Marmalade' for the soundtrack of this movie:--Moulin Rouge!...3. Christina Aguilera's 'Back to Basics' album features the song 'Ain't No _____________'.--Other Man...4. Christina Aguilera's hit 'Can't Hold Us Down' features rapper:--Lil' Kim...5. Christina Aguilera sings "I'm thanking you for knowing exactly __________".--What A Girl Wants...6. Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine have a new single out called 'Moves Like __________'.--Jagger...7. Which Christina Aguilera song is subtitled 'All I Want Is You'?--Come On Over...8. Christina Aguilera sings ___________ in her 2006 music video 'Hurt'.--In a circus tent...9. Christina Aguilera won a Grammy for which of these songs? --Beautiful...10. Who recorded the duet 'Nobody Wants To Be Lonely' with Christina Aguilera?--Ricky Martin
We missed '4' as I guessed Eve I think then was too late to change in the darkness when I saw I had written the duet artist down. I also missed '6' as I haven't seen their show 'The Voice' although I've taped the episodes to play back when I get the time. Rob suggested 'Elvis' and I couldn't think of anything better. '7' should have been easier if they'd said "Come on over baby" because I suddenly thought of Shania Twain's song. I've seen the 'Hurt' video so that was easy enough. Her Grammy winning song was a guess but I expected the Academy would like its positive message. OK 8 out of 10 but not the place to get them wrong to build bonus points.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual.

I was thinking before the question came up of whether they would ask another (their third) duet question. Rob actually suggests the answer first. Yes I can back him up.
Correct Answer:....1. Car Wash
[NTN Extra Fact:...The 2004 animated movie features the voices of Wil Smith and Robert De Niro.]
I'm right and stay in third as LITBOX with 57210. I earn 3000+ points for meeting the standard of 18000. No individual scores or bar rankings are given so I have to wait until the next day...peel off all the multiple players at each bar and work backwards. I calculated I was 18th overall in North America. The bar is 7th in North America with a 57513 average. (NTN lists our bar as 7th out of 1927 sites.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank COSMO 39710 1 59565 11 47 ONJ 38290 1 57435 16 57 LITBOX 38190 1 57285 18 59 ROCKET 38140 1 57210 19 60 PLBAAB 37380 1 56070 24 70 (ntn.com listed 7666 players with 6947 having a positive score)
