5 Fun Facts About The Grammys
tv week

I really enjoy watching these award shows, whether it is the Grammys, the Tony Awards, or the Peoples Choice Awards or the Oscars. I enjoy watching them because I like watching the Tony Awards because it is a way for me to see which Broadway show I want to see next. This Sunday is the 59th annual Grammy Awards.

I always enjoy watching the Grammys because some of the songs and artists that are nominated I really enjoy listening too. Lukas Graham with his song 7 years, Drake and his song Hotline Bling, Adele and her song Hello are examples of my favorite artists who were nominates. It is so cool to see that a few Broadway shows that are up for a Grammy, such as a show that I got tickets to see in March called Waitress. I just also enjoy watching these types of shows for fun. I can discover new songs and artist that I would like to start listening to. As of right now, my main go to music would include music from Broadway shows that I have seen in the past and I have really enjoyed. Another thing about the Grammys are the performers. Some of the performers that are performing at the awards are John Legend, Metallica, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Adele, and Bruno Mars. This year's host is James Corden

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
