Disney released the latest teaser trailer for the live-action "Beauty and the Beast" and fans finally hear Emma Watson sing.

From the moment it was announced that Emma Watson would be playing Belle, the question of "But can she sing?" was frequently asked and we finally have our answer. In a video that Disney has released, Emma Watson sings "Something There" (http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/12/emma-watson-sings-belle-beauty-and-the-beast-something-there) and while her voice isn't one of a stereotypical Disney Princess, her voice is clear and she seems to hit the notes with ease (personally, I would like to hear her perform it live). The new Beauty and the Beast is going to be darker than the original Disney fairytale we're all used to. Certain plot holes are going to be filled in (like the Beast not aging even though it's 10 years later) and Belle is going to be a more feminist character and she is going to be the inventor of the family, not her father. With this twist, the town will have a reason to think she's odd unlike the original reason of "she reads." Disney has been making strides with their latest movies to include diversity and make a female character's story more diverse than "he loves me, he loves me not." With this latest incarnation of Belle the inventor, it will show millions of girls that they don't have to be the oddball who reads but the strong inventor who is a little quirky but understandably so. The movie will premier March 17 with a star studded cast including Ewan McGregor and Emma Thompson. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2771200/fullcredits/)

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
