If you could absorb the talent of another person, what would it be and from who?

I did this before I was born...in my next life I will get to choose again.
Next life I would like to be a rainbow. I would like to absorb the power of a rainbow.
Can it be someone who has already died ? I would then say Beethoven...just the talent...just the ability to write beautiful music...
I'd like to have the raw, unfiltered talent of a painter like Basquiat ---- his paintings seem like the visual equivalent of improvisational jazz or something that just comes out of pure expression without all the intellectual filters. Which isn't to suggest that he didn't know what he was doing--he clearly did, but there was a flow to it and it wasn't the kind of methodical painting one would have to do to create the Mona Lisa. Sigh.
Would love to soak up the talent of Claude Monet and his beautiful impressionistic paintings. Would love to soak up the talent of most any classical musician.
my friend sophie. she's an artist( something i have always aspired to be but lacked the talent, hence why i am choosing an artist just now) and has the ability to see people and things for what they really are. none of this cutsey 'what people want to see' art. if she sees an oversized nose and bushy eyebrows, she draws an oversized nose and bushy eyebrows. its reality on a canvas.
Scarlett Johansson, her old school sexiness and coolness is totally desirable. Her ability to connect with the audience (or at least me) and make you feel like your apart of the film is something I could only dream of.
Years ago, I saw Anne Murray on a TV show and she was so grateful that she could sing and enterain others. I've often wished I could open my mouth and make audiences happy the way she did. Singing must be the most rewarding thing on earth...
istzak pearlman or joshua bell, i need thier talent if im ever gonna be a professional violinst....sigh
The comedic genius of either Tina Fey or Demetri Martin. I love them both.
Or the musical talent of Bob Dylan.
Byron Katie Mitchell.
I would love to be able to be fearless and present in my life, to have the opportunity to connect with all different types of people without judgment of myself or of anyone else, and to help others achieve the same level of peace.
yo-yo ma's wonderful talent; the ability to play string instruments (not just the cello) oh-so beautifully.
The singing voice of Faith Hill. She is amazing. Listen to "This Kiss" and "There You'll Be".

"As a man I ain't ever been much for talkin' to."
I have trouble with words.
