...sees herself somewhere between Miles Davis and Bob Dylan--unclassifiable. She has bebopped with Charles Mingus and explored African rhythms with the warrior drums of Burundi. A record store of younger artists--Seal, Sarah McLachlan, even Janet Jackson--has acknowledged her influence. Virtually every act on the first Lilith Fair owed her a debt, if not royalties. But because she's been so groundbreaking, so musically mercurial, she has not always reaped the critical and commercial rewards she so richly deserves...
...merits of Frasier are on display in an episode like last season's "Room Service," which recounts the consequences when Niles has a tryst with Frasier's ex-wife Lilith, who is visiting from out of town and after whom Frasier continues to lust. The construction is faultless, as a waiter delivers breakfast to Lilith and Niles; returns to find Lilith and Frasier; and on his third visit discovers Frasier and Niles.

For fan Sarah Patejak, 18, the music's allure was that "it's all-purpose. You can dance to it or just chill to it." Ryan Connor, 17, came to ponder the lyrics, which, he said, "force you to think...
...there's another way to be cool. Last year Badu, with her Afrocentric head wraps, sensuous grooves and searingly beautiful voice, captured the attention and imagination of record buyers, selling more than 3 million copies of her debut album Baduizm; this summer she's a headliner on the Lilith Fair tour. Other new neo-soul artists such as Maxwell, with his enlightened ladies'-man charm, and laid-back auteur D'Angelo have also managed to garner critical and commercial success...
