Luciano Pavarotti appeared to shoot sidelong glances at the exuberant

Mónica Naranjo throughout their duet on the sacred "Agnus Dei" at the Pavarotti and Friends extravaganza.

There's no telling what the tenor's eyes would be doing if he saw the

Spanish pop diva's current video for "Sobreviviré" (I Will

Survive) (RealAudio excerpt). The video is replete with images of boys kissing boys, girls kissing girls, hints of bondage and general underworld overtones.

That's nothing compared to what Naranjo wore at the recent

Reventón Super Estrella show in Anaheim, Calif., where she presented four songs off her new album in low-cut leather pants that didn't quite, well, go up to the top floor.

However, one suspects Pavarotti would look kindly on Minage,

Naranjo's homage to '70s-era Italian diva Mina. Naranjo taps into operatic passions in reworking Mina's oeuvre in the Spanish language, notably on the romantic, depth-charged "Perra Enamorada" (Bitch in

Love) (RealAudio excerpt) and "Abismo" (Abyss), the latter featuring ex-Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. Naranjo's sole encounter with

Mina herself, on the duet "Él Se Encuentra Entre Tu y Yo" (He

Stands Between You and I), is more subdued but just as sorrowful.

And then there's the liberating "Sobreviviré" (not the Gloria Gaynor hit), a soaring, near-disco experience that has entered club life thanks to a Groove Brothers remix that's included here. If it builds on the success it's already had in Spain and Mexico, Naranjo may finally be able to afford pants that fit.
