Pop Culture Q&A
First album you bought? Dangerous, Michael Jackson. I love Michael Jackson. I still have that album and I know all the words to the songs.
First concert you attended? In Argentina I saw Javier Calamaro. He plays a mix of pop rock music in Argentina. I went with my best girlfriend when I was in grade school.
Rock star that you know? I know many rock stars in Argentina, the most popular is Gustavo Cerate. He's one of my favorites. He's one of the best musicians in Argentina.
Rock star you want to know? I would love to know Bono, Mick Jagger, Alanis Morrisette and the one I want to meet the most but won't meet is Freddie Mercury. I loved Queen because my father was a big Queen fan and I remember listening to all their songs when I was a kid. I know Freddie Mercury was a great musician but he was also a great man. He was very special.
Gnarls Barkley is... Crazy! I love that song; it's one of my favorites.
Britney Spears is... A very popular pop singer, but she doesn't sing my kind of music.
K-Fed is... The ex-husband of Britney Spears. I don't know what he does.
When I sing karaoke... I never sing karaoke, I just sing when I take a shower, or when I'm driving my car.
Song that reminds you of your first kiss? I was so nervous for my first kiss that I don't remember the song. It was such a nervous time for me, but it was in a disco so it was probably a disco dance song.
Song that makes you cry? Chasing Heaven by Eric Clapton. When I hear that song, I cry because I think of my grandmother who passed away.
What you wanted to be at age 10? I wanted to be a veterinarian.
Athlete that you want to know? Tom Brady
I'll spend Valentine's Day... At the SI Swimsuit Party.
What attracts you to a man? A sense of humor, that's the most important thing for me.
