Our Review

I found Flatulina's, um, offering more attractive than I thought I would. But I had left plenty of room. Actually, I should be happy when an artist such as Flatulina is kind enough to send something so easy to write about. So, let's get started.

The first thing you notice about Flatulina's release is that she is quite full of herself and eager to toot her own horn. Also, through a series of testimonials on the video portion of the enhanced CD, a number of her friends and fans happily spill the beans about Flatulina's unique charm. One senses that the way she elicits such an outpouring on the part of her fans is through her unique aura, an effervescence that causes heads to turn whenever she passes. Not to mention the cheesy outfit she wears as she shakes her talented booty all over Hollywood.

Ok, I'll stop.

Soon, I expect to be hearing more from Flatulina on morning radio, particularly from the likes of the Bob and Tom Show. In the meantime, I'll satisfy myself with the music video and songs from Flatulina's Fabulous Holiday Spectacular. As advertised, this CD is appropriate for all ages, though 14-year-old boys appear to be its target demographic. Finally, it should be noted that Flatulina gets "two beaks up" from Flip and Charlie (the parakeets), who happily sang along all evening with Flatulina's dance mix.

Flatulina is clearly in a class by herself, and with good reason.

From her bio:

Multi-Emmy award winning Diva and flatomusicology pioneer, Flatulina Fontanelle Boutier is the consummate success story. Born into humble beginnings, Flatulina has a lifetime account of turning scars into stars and troubles into bubbles. Her fabulous attitude is a breath of air for all who meet her. Your senses won't know what hit them!

Flatulina is the love child of Bubbles Cleopatra Boutier, a relatively unknown circus clown, and legendary rock idol Nigel Tufnel, of the band Spinal Tap. Flatulina lived her childhood as a young carney. Her mother's clowning career kept her on the road with various carnivals and circuses; her father was in rock-rehab during Flatulina's formative years.

Having grown up as the daughter of a rock star while befriending clowns, monkeys, and other sundry show mammals, Flatulina decided to pursue a degree in commercial music. Although it seemed absurd, Flatulina was determined to wed her assorted passions: music, bubbles, mammals, self-esteem and scuba-diva's. In Flatulina fashion, a new-fangled musical genus was incepted. Unfortunately, during this time her mother was fatally wounded in a tragic balloon animal incident. Flatulina's world was changed forever. Having no other immediate family besides her father, she chose to accompany him on his "Break Like the Wind" tour as a way of coping with her loss. Flatulina admits that this did not prove to be the bonding experience she was hoping for; still, her father's scent lingers deep inside her.

Fascinated by altruism, Flatulina began shadowing a local gastrointestinal doctor. During this stint, she met her dear friend, Chris Gaines, during his extended hospitalization due to his highly publicized car accident. This friendship is one of her most esteemed. Chris introduced Flatulina to Hollywood's A-list. Her bubbly talents and fabulous airs were indelible. Before long Flatulina was asked to compose the film score for the feature film "Rochelle Rochelle". She is the youngest composer ever to win an Oscar for a film score.

Flatulina does all of her own choreography.
