I only knew Madonna I never knew the other names.

I DONT KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD GET THOSE! I DONT EVEN KNOW THOSE SINGERS LAST NAMES!!
I thought maybe they were all types of Wine???
I hated this teaser not just cuz I didn't get any!!
I got them all Yeah !! It was easy but a good teaser!! Good job!
I thought it was a fun exercise, but I didn't have a clue to answer
That one; you had to know
the people beforehand! I didn't!

It's one of those things where you either know it or you don't, there's no figuring it out.
Anyone under the age of 30 would not have a clue who these people were by their real names. Did I know them? I'll never tell???

didnt like it to much
Wouldn't have gotten it in one million years But it's good trivia to know (even though I'll have forgotten the answers by tomorrow!!)
Not much of a teaser, but it was still fun to learn those people's last names!
My answer may not have been the one shown, but it was still technically right: all words have a prime number of vowels.
Araldite said it for me. No Clue
I got it when I saw the answer, but I didn't know where it was going before that. I guessed either that all names contained at least one E or they began with a consenant.
cool. never knew those people's last names. i've heard of everyone but prince. nice job!!!
Hey, I guessed due to ur title.
I'm over 30 and I got them all. What does that say about me? Yes, you either know it or you don't.
They are all people who have never been in my living room. Cliff Clavin on Jeopardy
TRIVIA.... You either know it or you don't! I am sure that most don,t.

"Ciccone" and "Nelson" were a dead giveaway. I didn't know Cher or Sting's real names, but I got the right answer nonetheless. Good teaser!
