Role Models Options

alicia keys is sooo pretty

You honestly like to spam everywhere you go.
Now, we're not talking about who's the most prettiest, we're talking about which celebrity would be a good role model for you.

Joey Jordison, but you saw that one coming. I truly do pick him though. He's excellent at what he does, especially drumming. He's also a good guitarist and a great songwriter. I'd love to be as good as him. Also, he's very intelligent. I've read and heard a lot of interviews with him and he expresses himself very, very well. He has very good opinions and he's very optimistic.

Mick Thomson. He's crazy. Smart and talented as well. I just really like him. *shrugs*

Wednesday 13. His vocal style is both amazing and unique. I'd love to be able to sing and scream like he can. I love his style as well.

Cristina Scabbia. She has an amazing voice, and it's awesome to see girls with talent lead metal bands. She's very smart as well.

Otep Shamaya. I think of her as basically the same way as I think of Cristina up there. She's awesome. I love her voice. She can sing so well, but she can also scream really well... now that is something I would like to be good at.

yea! cristina and joey! but i heard cristina's kinda rude...i first heard her and it reminded me of amy lee but cristina's music is more heavy metal and darker...that's hot.
billie joe armstrong probably isn't one of those obvious good role models but to me he is...because he's just...normal. and he inspired me to learn how to play the guitar...

I suggest you guys back up why you think the people you chose are good role models, rather than just list them.

ok, i will now.

tina fey is just amazing. a great writer, she became SNL's first female head writer, she wrote and starred in Mean Girls, and it the only reason i still consitantly watch SNL. she's very pretty, but not in that intimidating sense of models and most actresses, especially since i've seen older pictures of her where she looked completely different and not very thin or pretty at all. plus, there's that mysterious scar, which as cliche as it seems quite cool

[sammi rules you]

natalie portman - she doesn't choose to do films that would be the most mainstream typical films. she does movies by what she thinks is a good movie. i respect that.

tara lipinski - she won the olympics in figure skating at 16 years old. enough said.

halle berry - she has gone through SO much and she's still staying beautiful and strong. she's a very talented actress and she's done wonderfully with overcoming the hardships in her life.

drew barrymore - she had drug and alcohol problems very early in her life (starting at age 9, going into rehab at 13) and she's managed to keep a steady, impressive career despite setbacks. she wanted something and made it happen. she took control of her life and i admire her for that.

kelly clarkson - people kept saying she was too chubby and everything..that was just absurd. she kept going without breaking down because she knew she was beautiful in her own eyes and she didn't let those people manipulate her into being a stereotypical pop singer. she's herself and she stays that way. i love that.

Martin Luther King- This guy was a real leader, he was a revolutionist and an activist for black rights. Also he was a preacher man... a preacher.
Tupac- He was an all around talented person... how can you deny brenda's got a baby? I mean she's got a baby....
Immortal Technique- I have no Idea.
N.W.A.- The first people to use Nigger
Voodoo the dancing monkey- He was the one who plauged the world in commercials with his fluffy goodness.
Common- Multy Syllibillical rhymes.... he is a street poet.
Mos Def-He can rap
Dave Chappelle0 HE is hella funny, I'm a comedian.
Nigger 2 power-'Nuff said.
Yo Momma'- She had you didn't she?

Your reasoning for Alicia Keys got me bought! ^_^
Hmmm, and alsooo.... I guess the old Gwen Stefani [when she was in No Doubt] because she was unique, herself, and didn't follow the fads.

Oh, I forgot, and Oprah. I see her as a current celebrity. =)
She's been through a lot of hard times and grew up poor but she worked hard and now she's a billionaire but not through some sleazy business but through a talkshow that helped people's lives. She also donates to a lot of foundations.

oprah's good...it pisses me off when my dad bitches about her...always saying she's useless and doesn't deserve to be rich and powerful...because all she does is talk. i respect her though...

BoA is actually my role model because not because she's really famous. But she knows fashion. I learned a lot from her that I even changed and started to love fashion a lot. I always wore the same clothes not caring about fashion at all. Well BoA taught me a lot of things. She's also a girl who never gives up. She never turns back, she just keeps going even though times are rough for her. She's a busy girl, but she still goes through it. She wants to be famous like Miss Universe famous girl. So she never stops even though she fails few times and sometimes even collapse like having no strength to walk. But she still doesn't give up.

Which is a best role-model for me.

i say, beyonce', or tyra banks.

I would say that Usher is a good role-model. He's never in tabloids or on the news for something bad. He has good talent, lots of money and a big house.

[KERP1UNK]

isnt this a topic already?.....
anyways...greg graffin (i'm probably the first one to say that, huh?) he is in a band but he was also in college and wrote a book.. plus he's one of the top bone (?) paleontologists in the world..he's really smart!

[s_parker_luver]

David Desrosiers from Simple Plan.
well. i don't really know why. prolly becoz he does what he want n not caring about what other ppl think.

Welll... he was for cheating on Chilli. In fact, he used it as publicity to sell his album. And if you ask me, cheating isn't very honorable.
