While I recognised a few of the girls and some of the men I didn't recognise a single video sequence in the entire video.
So I can claim six actresses (female actors for the PC mob!! :evil: ) and 5 actors but not a single film!! so 11 points? :-D

I may have got 3 at a push so that was a very good effort. I still cant see Clark Gable in the opening sequence. Based on the evidence of an extremely poor performance on the "Pointless" board featuring "Stars" who had got a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2021 I wouldn't do any better on what the current crop of movie stars are called or what they look like.

An exceedingly grim day for me, total failure, even 60s which I recognised instantly but could not remember the artist at all!! Would have got it in 2secs using drop down list but that doesn't count for me. I only use the skip button until I remember the answer, better memory exercise but more prone to fails!! :-D

Original: No hope, recognised the band when the singing started but that was all.
Sixties: As above,knew the band, not the song.
Seventies: Recognised nothing.
Eighties: Same again
Nineties: Fail again, unsurprising considering who they are.
00s: Same as the rest, completely unheard of.

Matched Mick's roaring success again.
I expect mainly due to never listening to the radio or watching TV, not exposed to much of this material.

Original: Fail, like Steve recognised the band know very few of their tracks.
Sixties: Turns out it was written by a band member, but wasn't one of their tracks, some unheard of artists for me doing the song...still playing to the official rules of Heardle got it in 17 secs.
Seventies: Fail. One of his tracks is a particular favourite of mine, not this one though.
Eighties: The artist's least known track from the 80's, got it in 17 secs
Nineties: Very well crafted song, got it in 3 secs
00s: Fail...no chance

Not a fantastic crop today 3 out of 6

Great start on the dles today with 2,3,3,4 and then the heardles.
2secs for 60s, took me back a bit!
2secs for 70s, got it instantaneously and realised it needs to be on the classic thread but I'll leave that till tonight so it doesn't spoil the heardle!

and then the rot set in with no more success at all!! :-D

Original Heardle: 11 seconds she has done some decent pop songs.
60's Heardle: 2 seconds yes indeed a classic, and a car name check to boot.
70's Heardle: 2 seconds another classic
80's Heardle: 12 seconds another excellent song but needed the vocal.

100% 4 out of 4

Optional Bonus
90's Heardle: Fail had it been the club classic with the same name from 1993 I may have got it :-D
00's Heardle: Fail not familiar with her work at all

0% 0 out of 2

Overall 4 out of 6 :-D

Normal day for me on the heardles:
60s 2secs, instantly recognisable if you have a friend of the same name! :-D
70s. 2secs an almost classic
The rest none solved!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Now then, a 6 out of 6 day today, but the 2000's heardle link had a glitch. Got the song in about 2 seconds but the official "answer" patently wrong. The song playing on my usual link was plainly not Vanessa Carlton 1000 miles, but one that has been on recently which I think Steve nearly got.

So the performance went
17 secs, 2 secs, 2 secs, 8 secs for the regulars, and 8secs, and 2 secs for the optional bonuses.

The Regulars
Original Heardle https://www.spotify.com/heardle/ .
60's heardle, https://www.60s.heardledecades.com/
70's heardle, https://www.70s.heardledecades.com/
80's heardle https://heardle80s.com/

Optional Bonuses
90's Heardle https://www.90s.heardledecades.com/
00's Heardle https://2000sheardle.glitch.me/

00s: Lashup, recognised the voice and thought that I knew the song but they put the right album cover up but named a different artist and song.
Looked it up and I was correct.

Looks like it has been corrected now, so I'm back to 6 out of 6

There do appear now to be 2 heardle 00's games
