Encore Question:...The cover art for Maroon 5's 'Songs About Jane' depicted a woman covered by:
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...5000/5000...1st/6...my two win and JASPER win. .............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/6...maybe 2 for 2 in guessing. The LineUp...ROCKET...11000/15000...1st/6...my two win round. ...........LITBOX...11000/15000...1st/6. 6 right and 4 wrong was not good this week. Too many "songs on this album" questions to get through. Triviaoke...ROCKET...17190/25000...3rd/6...PLBAAB wins round and is in lead. ..........LITBOX...17210/25000...2nd/6...I take two -250s this round. Opening Act...ROCKET...26190/35000...2nd/6...my two win the round. ................LITBOX...26210/35000...1st/6. The Pound key round. I must have got 9 right for 1000, 0 for +250, 0 for -250, and 1 I didn't answer for an excellent round. Headliner...ROCKET...47440/56250...2nd/7. ............LITBOX...474690/56250...1st/7. I made notes on these three groups over two days between soccer games. These acts have about five or less albums in their short careers as compared to the usual headliners. MAROON 5:...1. Who is the lead singer of Maroon 5?--Adam Levine (the other choices were also in the band)...2. All of these have been Top 40 hits for Maroon 5 EXCEPT:--Smooth (by Santana)...3. 'Songs About _______' was a 2002 debut album by Maroon 5:--Jane...4. "Beauty queen of only eighteen she had some trouble with herself" are lyrics from this Maroon 5:--She Will Be Loved...5. From 1995 to 1999 the band was a foursome without James Valentine named:--Kara's Flowers...6. 'Live __________' is Maroon 5's September released 2005 live album:--Friday The 13th (the other choices were other horror movies, but this title was because the album was recorded on that day)...7. Maroon 5 hails from this North American city:--Los Angeles...8. The 2010 released Maroon 5 album is called '_________ All Over'.--Hands...9. The bassist for Maroon 5 is named __________ Madden:--Mickey (given away in the first question for those paying attention)...10. Which hit song from 2007 won a Grammy Award for Maroon 5?--Makes Me Wonder
I got all ten right to maximize our bonus points. My notes for this group were pretty good. I didn't know all the obscure Maroon 5 songs on Q2 but was lucky to recognize 'Smooth' as by Santana. After Rob saying he doesn't know much about the group he got us the 4th question. Got Q10 as unlike my last game out (for The Police) the year of the Grammys was closely marked on my notes.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual. We're the only ones still playing.

I say I think it's 'Her Long Hair' because it was a painting of a naked lady. I was cursing myself for not looking at pictures of the CDs like I did with John Mayer before I left. I could have even told you the row on the shelf they were on at home. It's been a long time since I played this CD.
Correct Answer:....4. Her Long Hair
[NTN Extra Fact:...The 2002 hit debut includes the hit 'This Love' and 'Harder To Breathe'.]
Very lucky as I was picturing the wrong position the woman was in. I remembered the album cover edging was in the colour maroon but didn't remember she was holding a box. It took me days to realize that I had her facing more forward in the pictures as I was confusing the angle of the Starbucks Coffee emblem. Also maybe good that I didn't study too closely because there were the heads of flowers in the painting and could even press that she had a paper screen behind her.
I'm right and win as LITBOX with 71190. I earn 3000+ points for meeting the standard of 18000. I'm listed as 4th on the Network Top 20
for all North America. The bar is listed as 3rd in NA.
I finish 1st on this bar's Hall of Fame Board as the next player BLAZE has 43170.
(NTN lists our bar as 3rd out of 1803 with a 70140 average).
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank LITBOX 47460 4 71190 4 9 ROCKET 47440 4 71160 5 10 PLBAAB 46480 4 69720 5 15 COSMO 46300 4 69450 5 17 ONJ 46120 4 69180 5 18 JASPER 8370 - 8370 2530 2591 (ntn.com listed 7168 players with 6490 having a positive score)
The Fletchers bar in Michigan didn't show up on the Network so they must have got the question wrong and that's why are boards look 20 places better than our other best weeks ever.
No problem at all the whole night with my MVP. Sticking with diet colas also made it a very cheap night out.
