Joan                          (does it rhyme with cone?)

juliette Binoche       (does the underlined rhyme with coach?)

Erin Brockovich        (does the underlined rhyme with witch?)

Mariah Carey                ???

Enrique                     (is the underlined reek or ree-key?)

 

Many thanks,

 Many thanks, Clive. By the way, did you miss Juliette Binoche or did you leave it voluntarily?
