...when we sing. If I could just sit in the audience and hear myself, I would be so much better, but I have to rely on others listening to me. since you already sing in eight languages, was it hard learning Elvish for the Lord of the Rings sound track? Would you believe - in two dialects, old Elvish and new Elvish? Who knew? It was wonderful. It put me in touch with a whole new audience, including my children's friends. How do you manage bringing up two daughters with your career? I have cut back...
...minute's attention; contraception comes up only by allusion. In the end, both movies stick to what viewers can agree on (commies and Nazis, bad; love, good), while skipping much of the Pope's sometimes polarizing tenure as a leader--an unsurprising choice in treating a man literally on track for sainthood. As a result, he becomes less human and less interesting once elected Pope. John Paul II, it turned out, was no prisoner of his papacy. Too bad these movies...

...Valli, who functioned as both the lead tenor and the falsetto backup singer; he told the story and provided the color. What astonished immediately and lastingly was the power of his glass-shattering, dog-dementing falsetto (often multiplied on record by having him dupe his solos on a second track). First time around, hearing "Sherry," listeners may have thought it was a gag. Sometimes he used it for fun, in high-pitched baby talk, as George Rock's comic falsetto had for the vocal in Spike Jones' 1947 novelty hit "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth...
