They're giving you body parts (eyes, ears, noses) and you've gotta guess who.

They're giving you body parts (eyes, ears, noses) and you've gotta guess who.

1 is easy: Bono.  I think 4 is Van Morrison, 7 is Gwen Stefani, 8 might be Jennifer Lopez, 9 obviously Ray Charles, and 11 I'm thinking is Neil Young. 12 is pretty cute--Beyonce?

Anyone else got any?

1 = Bono
2 = no guess
3 = Aretha?
4 = Van
5 = Mariah
6 = no guess
7 = Gwen
8 = Sheryl Crow?
9 = Ray-Ray
10 - Alicia Keys
11 = Neil
12 = I think you're right on Beyoncé, Urth

Actually, on further inspection, I think #8 may be Brittney.

1 = Bono
2 = streisand
3 = Aretha
4 = the boss as van?
5 = Mariah
6 = jay-z
7 = Gwen
8 = bouncy
9 = Ray-Ray
10 - Alicia Keys
11 = Neil
12 = sheryl crow

You're right on J-Hova.  But I can't see Babs in that nose.

You're right on J-Hova.  But I can't see Babs in that nose.

well, it is shot from underneath. i can't place those eyes elsewhere.

and i officially entered the boss instead of van. i haven't seen van the man without his hat and shades in recent years. and i don't think he keeps sideburns these days.
