...GODFATHER, PART II Hey, Fredo...
...sibling rivalry in a competitive Harvard may be enough to push the siblings over the edge. Whereas Fredo and Michael Corleone could not coexist without destroying their friendship, the Harvard siblings are able to cope. The younger sibs do not feel condemned to a repeat performance.

What should you expect of an artist who lists among his achievements a featured spot in a Tommy Hilfiger commercial--a sound that's reasonably pleasant but presented in so belabored a format as to be painful? That's Michael Fredo in short--a "talent" to whom that word should be applied cautiously...
...Fredo's first album, Introducing Michael Fredo, gives us some of what the "talent" calls his "youthquake" sound. Fredo's got all the makings of a boy-bander gone awry. In songs like "Who Said," his voice is pleasant, but not enough to keep you listening, and the beat in "This Time Around" (the song used in the Tommy spot) is too unemphatic to make you want to dance...
