Grex Jeopardy - Fall 2000 Edition
| 
Sep 23 15:21 UTC 2000 |
Welcome to the Grex version of Jeopardy, where the answers are easy, but the
questions are a challenge.
One of our fellow Grexers will give out the answer, and another comrade will
try to give a response _in the form of a question_. When the correct
response, phrased in a form of a question, is given, the respondant has the
option of giving the next clue or passing that duty to other person on-line.
Ready? Let's play!

As arabella gave the last correct response in Summer Agora, she has the option
of giving the next clue or passing to another person on-line.

Beady!
Arabella is a soprano opera singer who is married to krj. She's attending
grad school at MSU and recently completed a wonderful program in Colorado.

re#6: Actually, I don't recall arabella as anything other than pleasant
and intelligent (she uses a palm pilot). And to be fair the
characterization should probably be more 'junoesque' in that she was
well proportioned when I last saw her (well over 10 years ago). (More
the Brunhilde) I was making a joke that is only funny to me by the
reference - 'It ain't over till the fat lady sings'- something I do
quite often. Call me a sociapath or call me a taxi, but it only matters
to me if I find myself humorous to me.
One thing I find interesting is that sometimes singers, both male and
female, have to have 'mass' in order to do well. Consider Pavarotti.
THen consider Domingo, who is technically a better singer. Consider the
Dixie Chicks. And then consider that most of the world class female
singers are not on the lighter side of the scale. Yet Lorreta looked
positively cadaverous the last time I saw her. And that gal with the
big nose and perfect pitch - Judy Collins - , she ain't exactly on the
heavy side. Yet Maria Callas, well...

I think it's coincidence. Body fat has nothing to do with singing ability
since it's determined by your vocal cords, diaphragm, lungs, throat, tongue,
nose, and intonation. It's a true instrument that you have to tune and
practice daily to keep doing well. I notice ill effects if I don't sing for a
couple of weeks (which is hard since I belt songs out like crazy while
driving).
Was there a Jeopardy answer, btw, or are we just drifting? =)

I can imagine a larger diaphram (i.e. wider midsection) could contribute
to a fuller sound/voice; but that doesn't mean the individual would
not be symmetric. They might be a bowling pin body, swimmer body, or
pumpkin..but it all depends on training as birdy suggests.

challenge, which she said she'd do sometime today.)

(just couldn't resist: I dunno about the "fat" part, but strong opera singers
tend to be big people to start with... Leslie is quite tall, and has a big
frame to match. So bigger lungs...)

True... belting out a beautiful song so that the back rows can hear it takes
practice, strength, and air. =) But I still say size doesn't have much to
do with it. I have a few friends who are on singing scholarships that are
wispy, fairy-like girls. =)

Being a mere 5'9" 165 pounds I must invalidate the big size = good singer
theory, too. I've been known to vibrate the back wall ona few occasions.

Since we're heavily into drift already... I ran follow spot for a Tony Bennett
a few years ago at JCC. Once in a while he'd put his microphone down and then
proceed to rattle the windows of the spot booth with his voice...

Sorry for the delay.
In this film, Dennis Christopher plays a recent high school graduate
who pretends to be Italian.

jerryr has it. I didn't think it would go so fast. And
no, I wasn't watching AMC last night. It's just a movie
I like a lot, and it sprang to mind.

Dennis Quaid and the "dopey" burglar from "Home Alone" were also in that
flick.
