Queen Rania spoofs Letterman's Top 10 while accepting award at YouTube LiveShow Video Details ↓ [music] …Queen Rania: So you've seen what's on my YouTube channel. Well tonight I want to tell you the reasons why I launched my YouTube channel. Number 10: Because I didn't have enough friends on Facebook. [laughter] Number 9: Because anything Queen Elizabeth can do, I can do better. [laughter] Number 8: Because I was tired of people thinking Jordan was just a basketball player. [laughter] Number 7: Because Barak Obama said "yes we can" so I thought, so can I. [laughter] And by the way, congratulations America. [applause] Number 6: Because my original idea of "where the hell is her majesty" had already been taken. [laughter] Number 5: Because I wouldn't have got past an audition in front of Simon Cowell. [laughter] Number 4: Because I couldn't get a camel on a skateboard. [laughter] Number 3: Because what you know about Arabs shouldn't just come from Jack Bauer. [laughter] Number 2: Because if Madonna can get millions of hits cleaning the floor... [laughter] And the number 1 reason why I launched my YouTube channel, because suspicion, intolerance and mistrust are driving us apart. And that's why I wanted to kick start a conversation in the world's largest community: because we're stronger when we listen and smarter when we share. And that's what I love about YouTube. The way that it encourages us to be active participants in that conversation, making our voices heard, giving us the power to broadcast ourselves, increasing knowledge of each other, breaking down the barriers between us, clip by clip. So let's use that power. I'm not claiming a video can change the world, but maybe it can help us change some minds. And that's where real progress starts. Thank you, YouTube. [applause] [music] … … |
