15 ellie goulding 8 ozzy and kelly Osborne 1 westlife all correct from Lewis for 3pts plus a 0.5pt Ozzy bonus.
Saw Ellie Goulding play live before she got famous. Margo and I went to see Little Boots at Shepherds Bush Empire in Dec 2009 and Ellie was the support act. Wasn't a patch on Little Boots, though.

And very clever in screwing out an extra 0.5 without actually answering 12) ............
......which has allowed Lewis to step in for the point.

Tommo 18 is incorrect as Madonna featured in 2012 super bowl not the 2011 one which is what your question states 2011 is XLV 2012 is XLVI

Thank you Bob. Upon Googling, I find that you are right and my quiz book is faulty on this one. Quote:
So points........... 1pt to Boball for pointing out the error without actually naming a possible answer (Usher has probably been going longest out of the options) Daveuk1 keeps his points as he was led astry by my clue Lewis gets a retrospective bonus point for naming Beyonce who was the year after Madonna - and as a result wins this quiz !
Final final points: Lewis 8.5pts
Daveuk1 8pts
Jordans 4.5pts
DaveJones 2.5pts
Gandalf 2pts Boball 1pt
