Choosing an Idol

I have decided to choose someone to idolize. Why not? I have never been a true fan of anyone where I know the lyrics to every single song and learn everything about the artist’s life. So, I have narrowed it down to one person - Fanny Brice. I was going to do Sarah Jessica Parker, but the only book written on her is like a boring book report. Something about Sarah has yet to be written. I even thought about Madonna. As much as I love her, I am also aware that she can be bitchy to people. So, then I thought about my dream broadway show, Funny Girl. In case you don’t know, it is the story of a comedic performer named Fanny Brice. So why not? Why not learn more about this beloved comedian?
What I know about Fanny Brice so far? I know she was a comedian. I know that she sang these powerful ballads. I know that she had a goofy face (in my opinion) and that’s about it. It will be fun to learn more!


I just went on amazon.com and purchased one out of two books. I am really looking forward to learning more about her. I do hope I like everything I learn about her.
Why am I into this idol thing? Why not? It’s fun and I have always been in love with being inspired, so i am going for it.
