Five of my Favorite People
July 15th 2009 23:57
A Looooong time ago, I said I was going to do a regular post featuring my favorite people. I think I posted ONE! So, I have some catching up to do. This is just a list of some of my favorite people in the whole wide world. (Excluding my friends, who know they are my true favorites!) In no particular order. Clearly, this is not a complete list. I like a lot of people!
Shirley Bassey
Dame Shirley Bassey is a world class performer, and I never tire of watching her on stage. She's incredible. So much energy, pipes to kill for, and quite a character. She KILLS me! La Diva Absoluta!
This is my Life. Love it. From a 1973 performance. That purple fur jacket is the SHIT! I would wear that.
I (Who Have Nothing). This is Natalina's favorite. I love singing this song. I'm singing it right now!
Everyone responsible for Adiemus
They all get a collective ranking among my favorite people. This song is so moving, and the imagery from the video is equally stirring. I have this song on a CD, and have gotten quite a few confused looks as I drive around with the window down, singing along with Adiemus. Luckily, I really couldn't give a rip what people think!
Sarah Brightman
There is no Diva above Sarah Brightman. She is my obsession. The most awe inspiring soprano in the world (My opinion, but I'm right) Sarah Brightman will peel your skin off with her sweetness and sadness. As the former wife of Andrew Lloyd Webber, she's played every role to perfection...and continues to take risks with her ethereal voice and otherworldly beauty.
Nessun Dorma - Seriously, look at her. Damn.
Chase the Morning scene from Repo - The Genetic Opera. Sarah Brightman played Blind Mag. I don't care what anyone says. I thought this movie was brilliant!

Bette Davis
Bette Davis was an incredible talent, a beautiful face, and an intense personality. My mother's love for Bette spilled over to me. She is the ultimate actress, because she had all of the glamor of a true star, and yet she wasn't afraid to get ugly and raw in her roles.
Scene from one of my favorite movies, What ever happened to Baby Jane? Bette Davis played a decaying former child star, who holds her sister Joan Crawford captive in their home.
Nice little montage of great Bette Davis moments
John Malkovich
I just love this man. I love his eccentricity. I love his mannerisms. I love his acting. I love just watching him. Here is a really great and hilarious interview with John from The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (Who was the first person featured in my Favorite Persons series!)
What a weird list. I'm odd.
