Opera fan and composer Rufus Wainwright's emotionally extended, aria-like approach to singing is reflected in performers like Antony & The Johnsons, Joan As Police Woman and his friend Teddy Thompson. MIKA and the Scissor Sisters make pop music as brazenly camp and queer as the successful singer/songwriting scion, while Martha Wainwright channels both her brother and their father, Loudon Wainwright III.
