>> Gimme a singer's voice, and I'll sing my heart out for you :-).  Guarantee

>>
>>     Look at our singers, be honest with you none of them sings songs in

>> On the contrary, I found VNese singers did very well with American songs,
>> or French songs for that matter.  We can imitate with the best people, but
>> I particularly enjoy the VNese tonal in their rendition.  Talk about

>>
>>     But they at least

>>
>> I have no idea that's what they dream about.  Silly me, I thought they just

>>
>> 	   In my conclusion, I should say everybody must encourage, accept, and

>>
>> You really should not! because I must nothing.  Are you Dalena's boyfriend
