Thank you for the even-handed article about Clay Aiken [MUSIC, Oct. 13], a young singer who doesn't fit the mold of someone the record industry believes should be popular.

The ten-minute dance with Gemini segued into a two hour heart-to-heart during which the two shared their thoughts on life, love and proper lubrication techniques for chafe-free poll dancing. During the tête-à-teet, Biaggi counseled Gemini on how to balance the stresses of work and family, how to overcome her oxycontin addiction, as well as how best to parlay her experience...
