Speaker
This week the theme is pop songs and country music.
Favorite Artists Discussion
00:00:28
Speaker
So Andi, who's your favorite pop singer and who's your favorite country singer at the moment?
00:00:35
Speaker
If I had you choose, I think The Weeknd and Lana Del Rey are my top pop artists right now. Have you listened to Lana Del Rey's new song?
00:00:46
Speaker
I have. Not a huge fan of it, but most of her songs grow on me. i don't i usually i usually have to listen to them a few times and they always grow on me. All right. Country singers, I would say I'm obsessed with Blake Shelton's new song, Texas, right now. But voice-wise, I would say...
00:01:05
Speaker
Bailey Zimmerman is my favorite country artist right now.
Debating Country Music Popularity
00:01:09
Speaker
Yeah. So what about you? Taking Taylor Swift out of the equation because she would always be my answer for everything.
00:01:15
Speaker
Yeah. um Okay. Taking her out of the equation. Right now, I think my... I love Chapel Rhone. She just has such a great voice. So I'd say she's my top pop singer right now, even though she did come out with a country song for country music. i usually listen to more, you know, girl country singers.
00:01:34
Speaker
So Kelsey Ballerini is up there for me. But Casey Musgraves, I think, is my yeah number one. I love I hope she comes out with more new music. I feel like country music's having a moment right now. Like everyone's going country. Like Beyonce.
00:01:47
Speaker
I don't know when country music wasn't having a moment. So I think maybe everybody else is just getting on board now. But I don't think it ever went away. But that's just me. Yes. All right, awesome. so let's get into the trivia.
Pop Songs Warm-up Game
00:02:01
Speaker
So Andy will be going first with pop songs. Danny will be going second with country music trivia. But before we get to the questions, let's warm up with a quick round of this or that pop song edition.
00:02:16
Speaker
Okay, Danny, would you choose the Thriller by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, or Into the Groove by the Queen of Pop, Madonna? Ooh, that's a good one.
00:02:28
Speaker
I would go with Thriller. Okay. They're both good dancing songs, but I think I'd have to go with Into the Groove Madonna. All right. Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC or I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys.
00:02:42
Speaker
by Bye Bye Bye, 100%. Yeah, I think I have to agree with you on that one. Baby One More Time by Britney Spears or a Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera.
00:02:53
Speaker
I think I'd have to go baby one more time. Yeah, I think in the 90s, I would have chosen Jeannie in a Bottle, but baby one more time is definitely still on my playlist today. So, okay, Dani, are you ready for some pop music trivia questions?
