| Stacie Orrico not typical teen artist - May 2003 | Seventeen-year-old Stacie Orrico has a Christina Aguilera-type voice. Orrico is starting a national music career in the same pop genre at about the same age Aguilera did. And she has about the same target audience.
But Orrico is the anti-Aguilera.
She couldn't be any more different from artists like Aguilera and Britney Spears.
Orrico, who appears on NBC's "American Dreams" at 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 18, in the role of Peggy Santiglia, the lead singer of the (real-life) '60s girl group The Angels, seems like an angel who's too good to be true in comparison to many other artists.

| "Rolling Stone" cheapened by new, less musical format - May 2003 | About a month ago, the modern rock magazine Rolling Stone got a new editor, and with it, a new format. The managing editor, Ed Needham, is the former editor of the men's magazine Maxim.
Now, I'm not a regular reader of Rolling Stone, nor do I delve into the modern/alternative/rap/pop music scene often; in fact, in the last five years, I've probably only picked up the magazine a total of a half a dozen times, but I'm still thoroughly pissed at the new form of the thing.
