Lydia: OMG, yooou HAVE to come to the Opera House! The PRESSURE is INSANE!
You know you could always sing one of your 1.23 pound songs...
I'M LYDIA STERLING, THE TOP SINGER IN LONDON, AND I WON'T LET ANYTHING GET IN THE WAY OF MY MUSIC!!
Well yeah, just be careful not to slip up, a scandalous rumor would ruin your image!
I am well aware of how to keep my reputation intact, thank you very much! After all, I am a world-class performer!
Well good to know, I mean better safe than sorry... Anyways wanna talk about something else?
Of course! What would you like to talk about?
You know, basic things. Like what your favorite color is, or what kind of music you listen to, or who your favorite actor is. You know, stuff like that.
My favorite color is midnight blue, I listen to classical music, and I absolutely adore Benedict Cumberbatch. What about you?
Whoa, midnight blue! That's specific. I mean, you could have said like blue or purple, but midnight blue... I respect that though. Anyways I'm kinda the same with music, I listen to hip hop. My favorite actor is Anthony Hopkins.
You have quite unique tastes, Holland! Midnight blue is a beautiful color, not too bright, not too dark - just elegant! And Anthony Hopkins is an absolute legend! What is it about his acting that you enjoy the most?
I love how he plays complex characters with dark twists. He pulls off playing villains and heroes with ease.
He really brings depth to his roles, doesn't he? It's no surprise he's one of the greatest actors of all time! We should definitely watch one of his movies together sometime! So, what do you think about Benedict Cumberbatch?
Oh, I can tell he's a brilliant actor. Just take a look at his role as Sherlock Holmes; he completely redefined the character.
Absolutely! His performance as Sherlock Holmes was simply phenomenal! He brought a level of depth and intelligence to the role that was previously unimaginable!
Yeah, he's like a modern-day version of Sherlock Holmes. Now, I gotta ask, what did you take at the Royal Academy of Music?
I studied classical singing and piano, honing my skills and perfecting my craft.
Wow, classical music is pretty tough to master. You must be quite a talented singer then.
I believe in putting in the hard work to achieve greatness! At the Royal Academy, I had some of the best teachers in the world, and I took every opportunity to learn and grow. I even worked with renowned conductors and performed in some of the most iconic opera houses in Europe! After overcoming that wretched stage fright, I knew I had what it took to shine at the Royal Academy of Music!
I bet your family is super proud of you.
My family has always been incredibly supportive of my career. They saw my potential and encouraged me to pursue my dreams from a young age. They're some of my biggest fans and always come to support me at my performances! We've always been close, and they play a huge role in my success.
Well I'm sure they're proud of you too. Everyone in your family is talented, from what I've heard.
Yes, my siblings are incredibly talented as well! My older sister is a professional violinist, my younger sister is a gifted painter, and my younger brother is an up-and-coming pianist! We were all encouraged to pursue our passions from a young age, and we support each other in our endeavors. We even collaborate on musical projects together! Our family truly values the arts and supports each other's talents.
Well that's really cool. I mean, how many people can say their whole family is talented?
It's true! Our entire family is creative and passionate about the arts. We inspire and motivate each other, and we celebrate each other's successes.
That's great to hear. Now, I gotta ask, when did you become a celebrity? Was that even your intention?
Becoming a celebrity wasn't my initial goal, but after honing my craft and gaining recognition in the industry, I couldn't deny the opportunity that lay in front of me! My talent and dedication caught the attention of major record labels and producers, and before I knew it, I was signed and my career took off! Now, I'm one of the most beloved and respected celebrities in all of London! It's been an incredible journey, and I'm grateful for every opportunity I've been given.
You sure have made quite a name for yourself. You're also quite the trendsetter in the fashion department. Are you usually the one choosing your outfits for public appearances?
I actually have a personal stylist who helps me choose my outfits for public appearances. But I always try to bring my own touch to each outfit, making sure it reflects my personality and style.
