Speaker 2: first one is quite obvious, right. So Justin Bieber was
Speaker 2: king of the world at one stage and he took
Speaker 2: a well, he was given an Edge Sheeran song, so
Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran wrote this, don't everybody would know that?
Speaker 3: No? Oh that sounds that shine another clash you get him.
Speaker 2: And at the time Ed said, I was so happy
Speaker 2: for him to have it because he was king of
Speaker 2: the world and I just feel like he would do
Speaker 2: a much better job than I would have.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I agree. Edward have done it beautiful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't agree because that song is so obviously
Speaker 4: edge she encoded, and it also doesn't really seet Justin like,
Speaker 4: I don't love that song?
Speaker 1: Oh do I love it?
Speaker 3: Justin?
Speaker 1: I love it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love most things that Justin Bieber does what
Speaker 2: they call it a believer anyway, instead of just letting
Speaker 2: it go ed Sheer and has he lent his backing
Speaker 2: vocals to it.
Speaker 1: He sings on the song as well.
Speaker 3: Because if you.
Speaker 1: Love that much, you can hear it. Yeah, I love
Speaker 1: your You can hear it really clearly.
Speaker 2: Something you should go and love your.
Speaker 1: He's the higher pitched one.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I've never picked that.
Speaker 2: I know it's so obvious now and we must have
Speaker 2: heard that a thousand times. All right, let's do this one.
Speaker 2: Do you remember when my daughter peg loved this Havana song?
Speaker 2: I think every time I hear it it's it is Kamilao.
Speaker 1: But listen to the little pet and maybe play it
Speaker 1: from the beginning.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, no, all the way it's all
Speaker 5: the way through it right, Yeah, who do you think
Speaker 5: it is?
Speaker 4: It's obviously a dude. I'm just going to take a
Speaker 4: stab in the dark. Is that you got it right,
Speaker 4: Justin Bieber.
Speaker 1: No, it is not justin Bieber.
Speaker 2: It is this guy William Yes.
Speaker 3: Indeed, gosh the album that he had when this was
