RE: People I Most Admire.

[CarrollTowerCX]

Though I have been a Vanessa-Mae fan for such a short time, (Since Dec., 2009). I am going to do all I can to become one of her very best fans.From the moment I first saw her play the Toccata and Fugue, I knew I had found my ne-plus-ultra violin player. I think she defines the words Culture and Talent. She is a beautiful person, who has lived a Cultured and Talented life.She also defines Quality and Class. There aren't any scandals or unpleasantries in her life. I think she treats everyone with respect. Because of this I include her in my list of the people I most admire and respect. they are: Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Portman and now VANESSA-MAE.

How do you feel about my choices? Who do you admire?

May our Cultured and Talented Vanessa-Mae play forever !

CarrollTowerCX,I agree with you! I admire Vanessa Mae very much.She is great girl and person.Also I admire artists and persons like Thalia,Yo-Yo Ma,Ray&Anita(from 2unlimited),CoCo Lee(Hong Kong singer),Sibel Tuzun(Turkish singer),Tim Duncan(NBA player),Kazushi Sakuraba(Japan MMA fighter),Romario,Bruce Lee,Ray Bradbury,Paulo Coelho,Seiji Ozawa(conductor) and many others..They are very honest and sincere people I believe.Vanessa Mae is really very sincere and respectful girl and naughty at the same time a little bit and she not do things for more attention or fame only and I respect and love her attitude.I know,certainly, that we all have some things which is not good sometimes maybe, but real respectful people don't make crazy things only for more attention or sensation.This is good attitude.And Vanessa Mae is real example for me.Peoples like she no need scandals to get more attention,they create art,music or are sportsmen and get attention by their talents.Vanessa Mae is really my lovely violinist.She is very beautiful girl and has talent and she do everything with dignity,respect and love.In general,I think all peoples has much more good qualities.We all are the same peoples,with different wishes,thoughts but equal in essence as humans.

Among females that I admire are, besides Vanessa-Mae, singer Shakira, actress Jodie Foster, Gabriela Sabatini, the Williams sisters Venus and Serena, and of course our Dutch princess Maxima from Argentinian decent who married our Crown-Prince Willem-Alexander in 2002.

As for the male side are Pete Sampras, Albert Einstein, Al Pacino, Robert de Niro, Paul Newman, Ronald Reagan, and some imaginary characters like Fred Flintstone, Al Bundy (from Married with children), Cosmo Cramer (from the Jerry Seinfeld series) people that I admire.

Hello Boys and Girls,

There are of course many others that I admire, but these three: Audrey, Natalie and Vanessa are the nonpareil to me in their field. I think they are the ultimate in Beauty, Culture, Talent and Respect.

For their talent alone, I would include Sarah Brightman, Enya, Hilary Hahn, Jascha Heifitz, David Garrett, Fritz Kreisler, Mozart, Beethoven, Telemann, Bach, etc.

Then in other fields there are of course: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Ronald Reagan, John Adams, yes Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Thomas Edison, Alphonse Mucha, Maxfield Parrish, and the list goes on.

To show respect and knowledge of all of the above and many more I have their Biographys in my Library.

I remain with respect,

An addenda to the above,

I will be looking up some of your choices, and I am sure I will find some interesting people also. This was part of the reason for my original posting. I wanted to see what other Vanessa-Mae fans were interested in.

Thank you,
