...Alisa has spent many months working on her eponymous, bilingual debut - and she definitely has a voice. Her first single, "Hound Dog," a cover of the early Elvis favorite, adds a throaty, R&B vibe to the song's rocking swagger. It's one part sweet and two parts sultry, giving the gender switch a sensual twist. Elsewhere, she shows a talent for duets, such as in the Mandarin ballad "Unexpected," counterpointing American-born Taiwan singer Will Pan's smooth tones in a manner that neither controls nor submits.

America is the land of second acts, but still, a gay former child actor who loves magic isn't supposed to return as an icon of cool masculinity. Yet at 36, Neil Patrick Harris, who played a genius teenage doctor on Doogie Howser, M.D., has used rat-pack swagger to climb the hosting rope in record time, from emceeing the TV Land awards in April to the Tonys in June to the Emmys on Sept. 20.

The city state developed a kind of signature swagger, expressed most gaudily in the gargantuan real estate projects - an indoor ski slope, man-made islands shaped like palm fronds, the world's tallest building - that have turned a sandy sliver on the Gulf into one of the world's fastest-growing cities.

...comedy by giving this big idea a humble setting: the down-and-out glee club of William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. The school's once champion show choir has fallen on hard times, overshadowed by the competitive-cheerleading squad (whose coach is played with Pattonesque swagger by Jane Lynch). Restless Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) volunteers to bring back the chorus of misfits, like Charlie Brown nursing the most pathetic Christmas tree...
