Last 2010 we are required in my
English Class to write a 3-minutes Speech and delivered it in front of the
class and this is what i have written and delivered during that time...
( to capture my audience I sang the first line of my speech
from the Hit song Billionaire by Mccoy featuring Bruno Mars and then ask them
the question, who wants to be a billionaire? and soon ....)
I Want to Be a Billionaire
“I wanna be a
billionaire so freakin’ bad… buy all the things I never had.”
-Travie Mccoy feat. Bruno Mars- Billionaire
Who wants to be a billionaire? Who wants to have lots of money as well as fame?
Probably majority would answer me,” Me, of course!” then it follows a question,
how? Well, there are many ways to have lots of money but I tell you it will not
always follow you with the fame that you ever dreamed of. Take those
billionaires for example – do you know tycoon Bill Gates, the world’s richest
man for 14th consecutive year (but not this year) or even tycoon Henry Sy, the
Philippine’s richest man? I think majority just heard their names but haven’t
familiarized their faces. Now, if those billionaires died, will the people
still remember them as how people remembered Elvis Presley, the king of Pop
–Michael Jackson and other legendary artist of the music world? -Probably not.
Their maybe dead but their faces and contributions will always be remembered.
Their songs will always be aired eternally.
Now of
today’s generation, did you know that Taylor Allison Swift’s album Fearless is
the 2009 world’s best selling album? When it was first released last November
11, 2008 it directly debuted no.1 on billboard selling over 592,000 copies in
just one week. And as of last month, September 2010, according to billboard.com
and wekipedia.com, the album has been certified 6xs platinum by the Recording
Industry Association of the America (RIAA) selling more than 10-million copies.
Oh my! That cost a lot - money money money!
Secondly, do you know that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta also known as
Lady Gaga earned 200-million dollars on her on going The Monster Ball Concert
Tour and listed as the 4th most powerful celebrities of the world in the Forbes
Magazine last June 2010? She’s really great, not only famous, rich but as well
as powerful.
Now, you may ask me, how will I be like the? I’m just a simple person? Well I
can give you the best instant way for that – and it is just one thing that you
will do and that is to post your best catchy music videos on facebook, myspace
and especially youtube. Take Justin Beiber for example- he is not yet one year
on music world but because of youtube his totally famous. Did you know that his
music video Baby is the world’s most watched video of all time with more than
350-million views leading behind Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance, the former no. 1 with
only 300-million views? Great Beiber fever, huh! Did you know as well that
according to celebritynetworth.com, Justin Bieber’s net worth is 25.5 Million
US dollars and not only that, did you know that he is richer than the President
of the United States Of America- Barack Obama? -Awesome!
Next, our very own, from Local to Global artist, Charice Pempengco, also
discovered in youtube. And did you know that she is considered as the Asia’s
Rising Pop Superstar by the Newsweek Magazine and worth 8-Million
US dollars?
That is Music- it will definitely give you not only money but as well as fame.
So what are you waiting for? Develop your skill. Show what you’ve got. Dream
high. Soar high. Dream, Believe and Survive.
