Forsooth, I have stumbled into a strange place, where people shun the idea of singing in Lord of the Rings. There were scads of songs in the book—even Gimli sang. Aragorn at Weathertop singing about Luthien was from the book, I don't know why everyone complains about it so much. Having Arwen sing would be more true to Tolkien than anything she has done thus far or probably will do in RotK.<P>Seriously, though, she won't. I doubt Peter Jackson would have made two whole movies with the singing taken out (Merry and Pippin and Aragorn were Extended Edition stuff, and Gandalf was background noise) and then suddenly have a song and dance routine in the darkest installment. My prediction is that RotK will be blood, sweat, and tears all the way. Not the '60s band, mind you, the literal bodily fluids. We all know how much PJ likes fluids.
