1. Sisqo -- Thong Song
   Sisqo used the formula that made him famous in an attempt to prove that he is not a one-hit wonder. He did it, although his CD is neither a masterpiece nor a great improvement on Unleash the Dragon. Even with its flaws, Return of the Dragon has enough positives to please the pop audience. The album will probably shoot Sisqo to the top of the charts, although not with the recalcitrance or stamina of “Thong Song.”
2. Sisqo -- Dru Hill
   Sisqo has ... run into troubles in the recording industry. Similar to the problems his touring partners *NSYNC experienced, Sisqo and the band he co-founded, Dru Hill, had to go to court to get out of their recording contract. In this case though, there was charges of violence, where Dru Hill claimed that an Island employee allegedly hit Dru Hill's manager with a pool cue, setting the suit in motion. Compounding Island's problems was an executive at Polygram, Eric Kronfeld, who's racist remarks virtually lost any chance Polygram had of winning the case. Kronfeld was asked why he hired the individual who alledgedly hit their manager with a criminal record, and he responded by saying that if he didn't hire African-Americans with criminal records, "then there would be virtually no African-American employees in our society or in our industry."
3. Dru Hill -- Group
   Stylistically, Dru Hill was the middle-ground between the smooth, gentlemen-like Boyz II Men and the self-proclaimed "bad boys of R&B", Jodeci. Dru Hill received a lot of criticism, especially from the members of Jodeci, for what was perceived was a direct appropriation of Jodeci's style, particularly in frontman Sisqó's K-Ci Hailey-esque lead vocals. Other major influences for the group included Stevie Wonder and 1980s boy band New Edition.
4. Melyssa Ford
   Melyssa Ford is the kind of ethnic mutt you’d want to take home with you. She’s part Russian, Norwegian, and African and all lady, sadly a lady who has yet to live up to the promise of her lustful perv-formances by showing some skin. What would her West Indian father and Caucasian mother say? Well, being Canadians, probably something like, “Where’s the beer, … Join Mr. Skin to read her entire Biography
5. Sisqo
   In all his dazzling splendor, Sisqo is anything but whack. His silver, spray-painted hair, multiple body piercings and tattoos and brightly colored outfits make him difficult to ignore. And he knows how to electrify an audience with his high-powered performances that include smooth dance moves reminiscent of the kind that confident, effervescent Michael Jackson brought to the dance floor, but laced with a hard, hip-hop edge.
6. Dru Hill
   All four original members of Dru Hill were natives of Baltimore, Maryland. Mark Andrews and James Green met each other in middle school, and both later became acquaintances of Tamir Ruffin when all three began pursuing careers in the music industry. Ruffin, nicknamed "Nokio" (an acronym for "Nasty on Key in Octave") enlisted Andrews and Green (whose respective nicknames of "Sisqó" and "Woody" came from their childhood) to form a singing group. The trio added Larry "Jazz" Anthony, an opera student, to complete their lineup. The group was named after Druid Hill Park, a popular park on the West side of Baltimore, the name of which is pronounced "Dru Hill" in the local accent.
7. Christmas Traditions -- Children
   Traditions in Italy are based heavily on the religion of Christianity. Christmas starts eight days before Christmas and lasts till after the Feast of Epiphany. Musical salutes are made at the shrine of the Virgin Mary and songs are played at the homes of carpenters in honor of St. Joseph. Eight days before Christmas, a special Novena of prayers and church services begin. It all ends on Christmas Day. On December 23rd, sometimes earlier, children dressed as shepherds with sandals, leggings tied with crossing thongs, and wearing shepherds’ hats, go from house to house playing songs on shepherds’ pipes and giving recitations.
8. Undercover Brother
   Undercover Brother is now as white as ever, as he listens to a Michael Bolton cover of Sisqo's "The Thong Song." Before things get even more confounded, Sistah Girl goes there dressed as a 70s vixen. She tries to convince him where he comes from, but Penelope tries to keep him in the white. Both women sway him back and forth between Undercover Brother and Anton Jackson until Sistah Girl pulls out his medallion that he says will remind him who he is. He becomes Undercover Brother. White She-Devil reveals herself as Penelope Snow and shows her true intentions by fighting with the two along with her henchmen. Sistah Girl and White She-Devil take the fight to the shower. The henchmen and Undercover Brother stop fighting and watch them as they fight seductively.
9. Black Eye Peas
   Black-eyed peas are traditionally eaten on New Year's Day in the American South and in some other parts of the USA. In some areas, they are served as a starchy side dish, cooked with or without fatback and/or diced onion, and often served with a hot chili sauce or a pepper-flavored vinegar. In other areas, they are served in a traditional dish called "Hoppin' John" made of black-eyed peas cooked with rice, sometimes pork (such as hawg maws, neckbone, hock, or fatback), and seasonings.
