Jesse McCartney's Still Got It

He shines in his latest concert performance.

Jesse McCartney's Still Got It

Last Saturday night, after spending 3 hours in line with 2,199 other fans, my childhood dreams finally came true. I saw Jesse McCartney in concert!

“I’ve been touring at colleges for the past 2 years because my most loyal fans are in college.”

Jesse performed classic songs like “Leavin’”, “She’s No You”, “How Do You Sleep?”, and “Beautiful Soul”, but he also performed some new music from his latest album, “In Technicolor”. He was very interactive with the crowd—throwing up the mic for us to shout out the lyrics. Seeing his fans having the time of their lives made him smile so hard. He hasn’t aged one bit from 18 to 30. He is a natural performer with flawless vocal chords and a flashy smile. He does this little dance (when he throws the mic up for us to sing) where he nods his head with a smirky smile.

“What do you think this is? College?”

After running off stage to grab a water, he comes back and starts drinking. The audience starts chanting “CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!” He throws out that little dad joke line.

You can see all over his face that he not only loves us, but he loves what he does. Performing is his passion, and he turns it into something fun rather than something stressful. He loves his management, and co-workers. He was just so grateful.

“What? Did I forget something?”

Towards the end of the concert, he pretends it’s over without singing the song that made him famous, “Beautiful Soul”. He comes back and starts singing and every voice in the auditorium was at volume max.

Jesse McCartney was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, and I would 10/10 recommend it to anyone and everyone.

McCartney’s still got it!!

Here are some tweets from myself and my best friend, during and after the concert:

@kallie_alexis: “THIRD ROW AT JESSE MCCARTNEY (emojis)”

@kallie_alexis: “SPOT THE KALLIE! OMG BEST NIGHT EVER!!! (emojis) @ Harding University”

@kallie_alexis: “I’m in love with this night…”

@kallie_alexis: “JESSE MCCARTNEY WAS AMAZING!!!”

@kallie_alexis: “I’M CRYING @ Harding University”

@jordyn_hensley: “Hearing Beautiful Soul live is something else. (emoji)”

@jordyn_hensley: “I have waited 12 years for this. My 6 year old dreams came true last night.”

@kallie_alexis: “I’d rather be at the Jesse McCartney concert right now”

@kallie_alexis: “lol I think my 6 year old self has intertwined with my 19 year old self… I’m fangirling over In Technicolor”

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

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.
