Knowing Pop Stars Names

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

How good are you at remembering the names of people in pop groups? Prompted by comments on the PCDs thread I realised to my surprise that I can't actually remember all five out of Girls Aloud who are one of my favourite acts.

Back in the day I had the names of several bassists and drummers neatly filed in my brain but my synapses have been failing me more and more of late, or maybe I just care a lot less.

Does it matter? Probably not, though I couldn't tell you who SINGS what on which GA track either. (I can't reliably tell Agnetha from Anni-Frid in ABBA either - I am poor at voice recognition.) (Can't recognise instruments either) (Pretty useless critic eh!)

Sure I can remember, depends whether I like the band or not. (Let's see, Robbie Robertson, um...)

Girls Aloud I can only ever recognise the ginger one (Nicola), and Nadine, because she does the singing - at least, when I saw them at the Big Gay Out once, she was the only one who wasn't miming for most of it. The others aren't memorable, nice but not memorable. Unlike e.g. the Spice Girls where they all look and act and sing differently.

Frida usually takes the lower vocal lines and Agnetha the high lines. See Money Money Money for an example.
