Ugly Betty改編自Yo soy Betty, la fea，是中南美紅及一時的肥皂劇，由女影星Salma Hayek促成改編，她參與製作並親自演出6集(包括在首集客串演出電視裡的肥皂劇演員)。Ugly Betty的評價跟收視都不錯，女主角的職業是時尚雜誌總編的助理，跟穿著Prada的惡魔一樣，甚至幾個場景都蠻像的，也都選了KT Tunstall的Suddenly I See做開頭歌曲(這首歌在去年關於女性自主的影集/電影裡常出現= =)，不明究裡的還以為是穿著Prada惡魔的電視版，不過Anne Hathaway實際上是美的不得了，扮土實在太沒說服力，而Betty Suarez還真盡責的ugly，到目前也沒變美的跡象...不知道要怎麼走往灰姑娘&王子的原版童話結局。穿著Prada的惡魔有提升整部片層次的Meryl Streep的演出，而Ugly Betty裡有Vanessa Williams演 出類似的角色(我還記得小時候的寶麗金雜誌封面是她呢XD)。來自ABC的Ugly Betty跟同家的Desperate Housewives一樣，喜歡加上撲朔迷離的內幕，企圖擴展劇情深度&增加觀眾黏性，配樂風格也極為相似(我討厭)。但黑色喜劇的效果也許不及 裡面的一個花瓶一個gay，誇張化時尚界的典型人物，爲劇情增色了不少。

今天的金球獎，Ugly Betty拿了最佳喜劇影集&影集類最佳女主角兩項大獎!(最佳影集竟然是Grey's Anatomy（╯‵皿′）╯︵┴─┴)

女性自主愛用曲，KT Tunstall的Suddenly I See


Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
