MOBILE KARAOKE Singalong Phones Like it or not, cell phone karaoke is here, thanks to software from Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. Vocalists download standards like Dancing Queen and Let It Be from karaoke sites and sing along to on-screen lyrics. Mobile crooning is sweeping Japan and Korea. The U.S. gets the beat later this year when faster wireless Web connections arrive...
...roommates and I are wondering WHY the model Giselle is going out with Leonardo di Caprio. He isn’t attractive any more (a frat boy paunch without the frat boy is twice as vulgar) and she has plenty of her own money, is the undisputed queen of the super-models and should be able to get any one she wants, or at least get the one she wants to the gym. So we need an explanation. Personally, I think she should pull a Gwyneth and find a trust-fund...

Tamino and Pamina’s Act II duet could have luxuriated longer in its loving lyricism, and Weigle’s charge into part two of the Queen of the Night’s big first act aria was a bit too fast for soprano Mary Dunleavy, resulting in an awkward adjustment as her coloratura fireworks begin. Nor was Dunleavy vocally perfect. In her Act II showstopper she seemed so obsessed with hitting those high Fs that the other notes...
...perfection is representative of Die Zauberflöte itself. Although it contains what is arguably Mozart’s most mature and varied music, as a piece of drama it doesn’t always attain the same sublimity. There is, for example, no explanation of why the evil Queen of the Night has at her disposal three virtuous wonder-boys who help Tamino thwart the Queen’s plans after leading him to Sarastro’s temple. Nor is it obvious why Sarastro, that paragon of priestly piety, employs as his prison warden an old lecher bent...
