Why is Capella yellow and Sirius blue, while Capella is more massive? Why is Capella, a cluster of 4 star in which the two biggest are two yellow giants, yellow? The biggest star in Capella is 2.7 times the mass of our Sun. Vega and Sirius are about 2 times the mass of our Sun, but they are white blue stars, and much more hotter than Capella. So why isn't Capella shrinking into a blue main sequence star?

Does anybody know of a "House Techno" song that fulfills the following criteria? Two things; -The beginning would have a girl/guy singing a capella in that classic angelic voice that many techno songs have (Raise Your Weapon by Deadmau5) and then the beat would kick in eventually. -As for the overall beat, I'm not looking for dubstep, or something crazy or industrial. I'm looking for something you'd listen to while eating at a hip and modern restaurant in Miami, so...house music. Anyway, that first one is really important- any songs you guys know of that start off with a singer? I'm not really worried about the tempo of the songs yet, I just would like it to fulfill the first part of the criteria, and basically the second. Thank you :]
Do you know any French songs that could be sung by a female voice? There's a competition thing I got entered into for my French class, and one of the options is to sing a song, so I really want to do that. I have a really good range, and it's informal, so I can change the key to whatever I want, and don't need sheet music. I do need, however, to have an example to listen to, and it must be sung either a capella, or the accompaniment must be easy to find and free. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be REALLY grateful.
