15 Reasons Why Michael Bublé's Christmas Album Is The GOAT

IT IS OFFICIALLY DECEMBER which means that 'tis the season for holiday music. If you're looking for an incredible album to decorate gingerbread houses, bake cookies, or even study to, look no further than Michael Bublé's Christmas. It is a timeless classic - a compilation of everyone's favorite holiday songs that everyone (including your grandmother) will love. Here are my 14 reasons why Bublé's album is the greatest of all time:

1. Michael Bublé has the voice of an ANGEL.

Seriously, how can you not swoon when you hear that vocal range.

2. He flawlessly modernized a lot of Christmas classics

He also added a lot of trumpets - it is impossible to doze off while listening to this album

3. He somehow managed to make the beginning of "Jingle Bells" sound seductive

"Merry Christmas Mr. Bublé"

4. He sang a duet with Shania Twain

All hail the goddess of late '90s country-pop

5. He managed to make you forget "All I Want for Christmas is You" is Mariah Carey's song

Bublé's soulful treatment of the song makes you forget it is a pop song

6. Bublé is generally adorable and sounds EXACTLY the same singing live as he does on the album

7. He re-wrote "Santa Baby" as "Santa Buddy" and it actually worked

"Come and trim my Christmas tree with some decorations found at Mercedes."

8. The orchestra is amazing

It is hard to top Bublé's amazing voice, and the orchestra somehow manages to come close

9. The album cover is adorable

Bublé is hiding a present (ostensibly for the girl he is singing about) and walking around in the snow outside some beautiful building (swoon)

10. He makes "Blue Christmas" into the cheekiest Christmas song of all time

11. "Cold December Night", one of the only original songs on the album, is a modern classic

"Please just fall in love with me, this Christmas."

12. He sang "I'll Be Home for Christmas" to a serviceman and his wife to celebrate his return from war

Cue the tears

13. He manages to make an opera song of a traditional Roman Catholic prayer belong on a popular Christmas album

Being able to sing this song is an accomplishment in and of itself

14. He sounds as amazing in Spanish as he does in English

No one (other than Shakira) can pull that off

Thank you, Michael for blessing us with this little slice of heaven.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
