...basis of their progress in becoming slick professional singers. (Imagine the cheese factor of Big Brother, Survivor and American Idol--in French.) But just a few hours after her edict about performing, Twain, 37, is singing her signature ballad, You're Still the One, in a duet with Jeremy, a young Frenchman whose penchant for accidental key changes augurs poorly for an extended stay at le Star Academy chateau. As Jeremy bludgeons the first verse, Twain closes her eyes and sways in a convincing facsimile of joy. Star Academy is wildly successful in France; Twain is only moderately successful...

Sensitive types won't take much comfort from Hot in Herre, a summer single that culminates in everyone's taking off his or her clothes, or Work It, a provocative duet with 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake (yes, "it" is what you think it is). The production is passable; the rhymes are emptier than the St. Louis arch. Nellyville wants only to make you dance, and in that it succeeds. But if it's a single interesting thought you're after...
