Wow!. Thank you for all the reviews. There will probably not be an update next week as I am at a singing competitions. Hopefully if I make enough money I can buy a decent keyboard. Oh and also. If anyone would be kind enough to beta read this story and MGINAA I would be very grateful. I know my gramer is not the best.

Review Responses:

Estelle Tiniwiel : Yeah, I'm always like that when I'm reading a story. I tend to have about 20 on the go at once.

mrs. Malfoy:m Ok, don't hurt me!. I'm not sure if this is better than mginaa its been getting a lot more feedback. Maybe the subjects more interesting.

Nabira: I see what you mean about German. My mum speaks German, French and bits of Italian and is a singer. Its not fair!. I can speak bits of German but that's about it. Oh btw am adding your story to C2 and I will email you later about website.

Erik's Wild Nightingale: Maybe I over exaggerated slightly but not by much!. Tell Erik not to drown himself as I need his help in my performing.

Original Cliche: I was impressed I only got on bit of feedback about how I wrote last chapter and at least it didn't say you stuck!. First off. I was trained as a popuklar singer way way before Opera. I agree about different Opera tastes of course but I never challenged that. I am not sure about pop singers learn projection eg Many singers in reality tv shows who are meant to have good voices have never been trained and yet perform. I also think that Opera singer have to go through a lot more for their art eg No smoking no alcohol. dairy free diet. I don't know many pop singers who do that. Of cos vibrato comes natural but it can be controlled if done badly when I sing in pop voice I sing completely differently to an opera voice. Anyway thanks for the feedback.

Silent Phantasy: Hello another fellow ppner!. I know about the whole not Opera house built thing. (one of the reasons I resent ALW) Hmm I can hardly see Mary Sue wiring a plug. What a way to kill her though….

Music Angel no.24601: When I read a stories like that recently I nearly screamed. Of course I didn't because at the moment I have no voice but I would have done. Hey If you are confused or don't know its not your fault. Just research research research.

Silvermasque: Hmmm wine label… I miss all the wine. Yes I likey the LOTR Soundtrack. Annoys my family when I go while its playing. A this is where Frodo gets stabbed. And this is the beacons being lit. Kind of takes the magic away. In no way to a dislike musicals its just there are a completely different being. Yes I hate ,microphones last time I sang with oen I smashed it. While singing you understand… I completely agree.

MasqueradingThroughLife: Aim to please!. Ah yes 1 quick way to annoy a phantom.

Lil Shady: I believe I get an eye twitch when reading such rubbish. It can't be good for peoples health (or sanity) Hey Its cool you were talking about what ive written. (feels famous). I just wish Marie Sue had any type of training rather than being a deaf mute all the time….

Polly Moopers: Howdy!.Who said Andrew was dead?. Mwhahahahahahahahah!. Hmm I'm on the search for an ipod free story at the moment. I wonder how long that will take…. Thanks for reviewing.

letthedreamdescend: Ah thank you!

Phantom'sJediBandieGirl: Yeah if that had happened to me I would probably feel the same way. I do not force Opera on people… I gently prod… then a bit harder. I don't see why Erik would not train someone with a big lung capacity. But they could not audition and get into a opera with training first. Hope this helps. Its not just about the lung size though…

Summary so far.

Marie Suzette has fallen from 2005 into 1870 France from America. She is helped by Madame Giry to become Prima Ballerina and the lead in the Opera Grease. Erik hears her sing Gloria Gainer and falls madly in love with her. He takes her after the performance to his lair. Marie has performed one performance of the opera Grease and suddenly collapses screaming onstage. Everyone is shocked.

Marie says

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Madame Giry holds her and asks ,

"What's the matter?"

Marie panting answers her.

"Oh Madame Giry, I didn't want to tell anyone but I'm pregnant with Erwiks babies."

Everyone. Gasps. Marie's stomach pops out of the corset she has never worn before and grows.

"And now I have to give birth"

Suddenly Erik runs onto the stage and everyone mysteriously disappears.

"Oh sweet cake I am here now" Says Erik..

"Oh Erik with you I feel safe."

Erik thinks for a minute.

"But wait darling. How are you pregnant?… we've never…"

Marie screams again. Suddenly flying out of the gaping plot hole two babies appear.

Erik catches both.

"Well that was easy Liquorice. I think we should call them Sharon and Tyrone."

Marie Screams again. Everyone rushes back on stage.

Madame Giry asks. "What's wrong? Marie?"

"Oh it's terrible. You see the childbirth was so difficult that it has made me blind."

Everyone gasps.

Monsieur Reyer asks.

"But wait!. Its now time for auditions for our new show. Wicked.!"

The audience from Grease leaves grumbling.

Marie clears her throat bravely.

"Although I am blind I would still like to try for a part."

"Ok here is the music"

Marie takes the music AND READS IT.

She sings.

"When I meet the wizard…."

Everyone claps.

Monsieur Reyer beams. "Congratulations you have got the part again"

The End.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Error Error Error!

1.I have mentioned this in my other story but it is worth mentioning again. It would be impossible to go on singing Opera while heavily pregnant as the baby can sometimes press on your diaphragm in funny ways. Sometimes it can make the voice higher. Sometimes it just ruins it completely.

2. There would be no way of hiding that you were 9 months pregnant just by wearing a corset. If you tried it would probably damage the baby. Maybe a few months but not 9.

3. Often an Opera house has a season in which they perform about 4 or 5 Operas. It would be rare for an Opera to go on just for one night.

4. Time constraints!. Not necessarily musical but still…

5. Again more historical than musical but names. Names like Jake and Sharon would just not be used at the time. If in doubt use Royalty of the time as this was a common practise.

6. Blindness. Been done so many times. What writers tend to do is forget after they have made the character blind that they need to stay blind. As Braille was invented in 1829 it would be fair to have the characters read that. I'm not sure about musical Braille but there you go.

7. Again with the modern day musicals. Now I like Wicked as much as the next person but not in that time frame. Please…

8. The part of Elphie in wicked not only is the wrong style of voice for an Opera singer but the wrong range. If a character is playing Sandy in one musical she could not sing Elphie in the next as it would be too low for her. Ironically if you write in Opera when researching they give you the voice parts.

And lastly. I recently found one of the most atrocious Sues I have ever seen while doing research for this ficlet. I am not going to name names because that would be childish but needless to say Erik had just written a scathing review which was about 2 pages long when he accidentally deleted it. I was most annoyed.

Here was the mistake of all mistakes. The Oc was walking down with Erik and Christine in Phantom of the Opera the song. The Oc was singing Christine's part with her. Erik was forced to sing.

"Sing once again with me our strange DUET."

Now let me establish. I would have thought this was obvious but anyway…

Solo: Singing on own.

Duet: Two people singing together usually in harmony.

Trio: Three people singing together.

Quartet : Four people.

Quintet: Five people.

Chorus/Choir: A lot of people.

This would be the same for playing.

I know "Sing once again with me our strange trio" does not fit but does that not indicate something of the calibre of the story.

If the author does read this. I am not having a go at you personally but why not look for a Mary Sue quiz on a quiz site?. The answers will speak wonders.

Well that's about it for now. Oh yes. If you do have a question or what information about anything feel free to email me and Erik will answer you. Its better to ask than get it wrong and be called on it. Because someone will notice.

Please Review.
