OK, so the question was "What club were two musicians fighting over in the film Grafitti Bridge, was it Glam Slam or Red Corvette".

The guy answered Red Corvette and they said it was the right answer!!!!

Red Corvette

muirdo said:

Yep, Red Corvette is the right answer!

Question today was "Who had the highest chart position with 'Kiss' Tom Jones (A) or Prince (B). Answer is Tom Jones (number 5 - Prince got to number 6).

First woman to answer another question, which was which alchemy stone sign was incorporated in Prince's Symbol name. Quite a good question, but then they made it easy by making it either A Soapstone or B Slipstone.

The woman got it wrong, correct answer is Soapstone.

Next up, a man. Question was what is the name of the night club that they fight over in the film Graffiti Bridge, either A. Glam Slam or B. Red Corvette. The guy answered... Red Corvette. And Chris Evans said that was the right answer!

Ehhhh? Am I going mad? It was Glam Slam, wasn't it?!!!

There must be another version of Graffiti Bridge out there somewhere. It can't be as bad as the one I've seen.

See this is what fucking happens on a radio competition.
People who havent listened to an Album since Purple Rain are going to get through.
I might sound bitter but thats because i am.

is he going to do another round or can i stop listening to Chris Evans talking pure pish.?

It's really disappointing to see that Radio 2 can't even get the questions right. It's really not fair on prince fans who should be given a fair chance to enter this competition....how frustrating!!!

I just called and complained that they got the answer wrong and the guy on the phone said "it was a production error". How silly is that....it would be unfair for the guy who answered "little red corvette". The guy I spoke to said they would "fix" the error...how I don't know. He said that there would another question at 6.20....(?)

Also I made a point that the choice of questions are a little unfair because the question the first woman got asked was pretty tough and specific and the next question is easy....

Anyway my rant is over....such a silly way to run a competition.

They're doing another one in the next hour. I think they're putting people through they like the sound of to be honest.

And of course it was Glam Slam! That film is ingrained into the brains of Prince fans so none of us should get that wrong!

Imagine how funny it would have been if a "big" fan had answered Glam Slam and then Chris Evans told them it was wrong.

I would have loved that, "Um, no Chris, I'm right. Speak to your producer."

I have just texted in also on '88291' UK telling them that they are complete idiots


I also had my doubts about yesterdays video director question but your posts prove what I was thinking...

Richy


p.s. One more attempt in a few mins.....

OK what was Prince's 2004 tour called, A) Musicology or B) Cinnamon Girl?

andykeen said:

Ah come on we all know the answer is Dirty Mind surely? Come on....

Can't believe I have had to listen to the this complete twit Chris Evans for nearly 2 hours....the music is so crap!

OK so the guy answered right and they said it was right! Hooray! Well done Radio 2!

By the way, is the guy online as he said he was "surfing the net" and sounded like a fan

yep
i reckon he was an orger and/or quaker.

I liked how he more or less told him he was right.
"it is Love Song"

Rico said:

The tour was actually called "Musicology 2004ever" - but I guess they're getting closer!!

I can't take this anymore - This is my 1st and last post ever! I've been a quite Orger for years and never contributed - but this competition has driven me 2 the edge!!! I can't keep my daily disappointment in - WHY DID PRINCE HAVE 2 HAVE THIS COMPETITION - NOOOOO! It's been going on 4 2 long I've bought 2 copies of 3121, entered online (20 times) called Chris (Crap Show) Evans 10 times over 2 days and I can't do it 4 another day! I haven't slept properly 4 weeks thinking about this - I'm sorry I can't b happy 4 the winners - Thats THE Truth!

Hello & goodbye!

How can there be retards out there getting questions like these wrong?

THEDAYSOFWILD said:

Phoned the competition line about 50 times this evening, got my husband to call & all of my friends!!!! The questions were really easy!!! They select somebody at random & call them back with another question, which is also well easy, but no luck! The people that got through didn't exactly sound excited! I would have been on the floor!

Don't you just know that the winner will be someone who phoned the show 'cause they had nothing better to do. There's us lot phoning in over and over and who gets through to the show? Some 60 year old Welsh teacher who knows jack about Prince, let alone a fan.

Mind you, that last guy got the Madonna question without even flinching. He must have been a fan even though he sounded a bit simple. But then again, I guess we must be a bit strange too??!

BigAl said:

I agree, some train spotter surfing the net listening to Radio 2 & rings in on the off chance & gets lucky!!! Prob thinks its a comp to see Prince Charles or something! Never even heard of Prince, when us die hards (well, me anyway) sitting by the phone pressing redial having to suffer Chris Evans for 2 hours & don't even get a chance! 2 tickets for the whole of the UK! Yeah, no flinching over the Madonna question, but only cos he is a die hard Madonna fan & knew that Prince did not duet with her on Cherish! Its soooo not fair! Gotta do it all again 2mo!!!

Rico said:

I heard this to. I think Chris Evans was trying to move things along because some of the people getting through are non prince fans.

Yesterday he gave a clue to a song. "a penny short of a score". Answer is £19.99! The two idiots who got though were saying things like Diamonds and Pearls. oh dear. maybe its the nerves of being on the radio.

what pisses me off about this comp is that i'm at fuckin work between 5 & 7 and i don't get a radio signal in my salon!!! and you just know some fuckin idiot who hasnt bought anything from prince since purple fuckin rain will strike lucky and fuckin win!!


i'm not bitter


if an orger wins i'll be happy...jealous...but happy for them.
