Sino ba si Oprah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah... it's another Charice follow-up. Eh kasi sino nga ba naman itong si Aling Oprahng 'to? Ba't ba siya sikat? At bakit napaka-importante niyang tao sa balat ng lupa? AT! Anong relevance niya sa career ng Charice na 'to?
Ang alam ko lang kasi may talk show siya na sikat. Meron siyang chumenelyn na book club at some self-tilted sorta magazine. That for some reason, she's one of the richest people in the world and "quite" influential. So BAKIT NGA BA? So punta 'kong Wikipedia. At ako ay namangha at napatunayan sa sarili na higante ang mapapala ng karir nitong ating si Charmaine Clarice Pempengco. Para siyang isang natatanging shyell na sa kahabaan ng aplaya sa isang mahabang isla tulad ng Boracay na iyong napulot na waring isang treyshure.
MONEY
* Forbes in 2007 ranked her as the richest African American of the 20th century, and
* Within 2006-2007, sources say she was once the world's only black billionaire.
(pero walang masyadong kinalaman yan... pampagana lang)
POWER & INFLUENCE
* At #19 in the 2001 list of Global Influentials, CNN & Time.com states, she is "arguably the world's most powerful woman"
* Time put her in the Time 100 as the ONLY person making the list a record-breaking SIX (6) times. She made it in 2004 to 2008 plus the Time 100 of the 20th century. And, if you're wondering who the next ones are in the list, there were only 4 other people who only made it FOUR (4) times.
* VH1 declared her as "The Greatest Pop Culture Icon Of All Time" winning over Superman and Elvis Presley.
* In 2005, 2007 and 2008, Forbes named her "The World's Most Powerful Celebrity"
and, this is my favorite
* In 2005, Discovery Channel produced a 4-part TV series called "The Greatest American," placed her at #9 and dubbing her as "The Queen of Media." She was the only female in the top ten list.
With all that, I totally can't imagine the extent and enormity of an Oprah-backed career. I don't think she's ever launched a star like this before. Has she? I know she launches unknown books into the bestseller lists. Can she launch an artist into the Billboard's top charts??? We'll just have to wait and see.
