Answer: Jupiter Symphony

Completed some three years before Mozart's death in December 1788, The Jupiter Symphony was the last of three symphonies that he composed during that summer. It seems likely that the three pieces, completed in June, July and August, were intended as one very long combined piece, since only "Symphony 39" has an introduction and only "Symphony 41" has a grand finale.

Answer: Judas

"Judas" is one of several singles off of Lady Gaga's record-setting 2011 album "Born This Way". "Judas" was given quite a few positive reviews from critics, but did not perform nearly as well as her other singles. "Born This Way" did break some records, though, becoming the fastest-selling single of iTunes history (at the time). The song "Judas" is about a woman falling in love with someone who betrays her. She keeps falling in love with him, but he keeps betraying her. The name "Judas" is taken from the Bible. Judas Iscariot is well-known from the Bible as the man who betrayed Jesus. ~salami_swami

From Quiz Double-duty Words Starting with J

Answer: Joy

Joy and her sisters Babs and Teddie formed the English singing group, The Beverley Sisters, which had a number of successful records, mainly during the 1950s. Later three of their daughters formed their own group, The Foxes. They were less successful than their mothers had been but their existence rekindled interest in The Beverley Sisters, who subsequently made a number of appearances. In 2002 they entered the 'Guinness Book of Records' as the longest lasting vocal group to still contain the original line-up. The word 'joy' was apparently derived from the Old French word 'joie', which in turn came from the Latin word 'gaudia', which itself was derived from the even earlier Proto-Indo-European root word 'gau' meaning 'rejoice'.

Answer: Jemini

The 48th Eurovision Song Contest, staged in Latvia in 2003, saw the annual event sink even lower in British public opinion as their representatives not only sang out of tune but finished dead last with zero points. This was not only the first time that the British entry had failed to garner a single vote, but it was also the first time this had happened to any English-language song. The duo of Chris Cromby and Gemma Abbey had begun performing around the Liverpool clubs as 13-year olds in 1995. In 1999, they adopted the Jemini ("Gem and I"). The single of "Cry Baby" reached number 15 in the UK chart but dropped out of sight immediately after the debacle in Riga.
