COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — It's a new day and a new year — and another step into the future.

We all have a picture of the future in our heads, visions of spaceships, flying cars and robot servants shaped by everything from classic science-fiction novels to "The Jetsons." And in this age of medical marvels and personal computers and cars that parallel-park themselves, the question is: Has the future arrived?

KARAOKE REVOLUTION PRESENTS: AMERICAN IDOL
For: Playstation 2
From: Blitz/Konami
ESRB Rating: Everyone 10+ (Lyrics)

The first "American Idol" game for the PS2, released by Codemasters in 2003, was a sloppy rhythm game that looked weird, involved no singing and only loosely resembled Fox's cash cow TV series.

This, on the other hand, makes sense. Konami will find any reason it can to churn out another "Karaoke Revolution" game — this is its fifth in barely more than three years on the PS2 alone — and it's almost ridiculous that such a popular show has no worthy video game counterpart after all these years. It's a dual back-scratching match made in heaven, and it (mostly) works in both parties' favor.

Chita Rivera (born Dolores Conchita Figueroa del Rivero on January 23, 1933 in Washington, D.C.) is a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical actress and dancer of Puerto Rican heritage, and the first Hispanic woman to receive a Kennedy Center Honors award.

Her father was from Puerto Rico; he played clarinet and saxophone for the Navy band. Chita's mother, Katherine Figueroa, who was of mostly Scottish descent, went to work for The Pentagon when she was widowed when Chita was seven years old; Chita's mother died in 1983.
