I knew literally nothing about "Julie and The Phantoms" when I came across it on Netflix, except for the fact that it was about music and ghosts.

I had seen a good amount of TikToks about it and finally decided that I needed to watch this show.

The show follows Julie, the main character, who lost her mom and her passion for music.

In hopes to clean up the house, her father sends her to clean her mom's old studio. While cleaning, she finds an old CD. She plays this CD and three cute ghost boys show up in her garage. The ghosts were trapped in a purgatory of sorts for the past 25 years.

These ghosts were musicians before their untimely end. Now, they're trying to figure out how to cope with being stuck.

Time goes on, and after discovering that the boys can only be heard while playing music, they discover that performance is the means for their voices to be heard. It only works with Julie, though. The ghosts help Julie find her passion for music again, and of course, I'm not going to spoil a ton of details because then you wouldn't want to watch the show.

There are so many plot twists and friendships gained. There's trying moments that just make this show so good.

The music is really good, especially for being a teen show on Netflix. It's so good that it gets stuck in my head. I'm listening to the soundtrack as I write this. It has powerful and catchy lyrics, with a good beat behind it. It feels like a cross between "High School Musical" and a pop punk rock band. The song "Unsaid Emily" will probably make you cry to be honest, but it's such a good song. The show was directed by Kenny Ortega, the director for Disney Channel Original movies such as the "High School Musical" trilogy, the "Descendants" trilogy, "Hocus Pocus," and "Dirty Dancing."

I started watching the show and instantly became obsessed.

I'm unsure if it was the cute ghost boys, the music, or the plot that made me love this show. Nonetheless, I was completely absorbed by this show. I wasn't expecting to be so absorbed by this cheesy teen show, but I was.

I recommend it to anyone and everyone who is looking for a show to watch this weekend.

AI music threatens creativity

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

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.

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.
