The Life of Pablo deserves Album of the Year at the Grammys. I don’t care what anyone has to say. From start to finish, it’s just brilliant. From "Ultralight Beam" to "Famous" to "Waves" and the very last song "Fade," Kanye can do no wrong.

The entire album was put together beautifully. It flows together so smoothly like poetry. It’s amazing. Let’s start from the top and work our way down. I'm telling y'all my top 10 favorite, okay? Okay.

1. "Ultralight Beam"

From start to finish, it was a gospel song. It was an innovative version of a gospel song. He had The Dream, Chance the Rapper, Kirk Franklin and Kelly Price on the song with him and everyone had their time to shine perfectly. The choir in the background was absolutely sensational.

2. "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 and 2"

I put these two songs together because they flow so well together. The first part was just fun, you can get hype to it or just chill. Kanye sampled "Panda" by Desiigner and basically put Desiigner on the map. The crazy part is when you would listen to the album without looking you'd think it was the same song.

3. "Famous"

This is the controversial song that had everyone talking. This was just a giant media frenzy. Did Kanye sleep with Taylor and all this stuff. Well it was all dumb. He had Rihanna on the chorus. The video was long but it was brilliant.

4. "Feedback"

I really just like this song because it's just cocky. It has a lot of messages in it. Kanye is just lyrically insane. The beat is just fire, he just murdered it. Listen to it, it's explains itself.

5. "Highlights"

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THE ALBUM. He featured Young Thug on this song and it was completely fantastic. His famous line was "I bet me and Ray J would be friends, if we ain't love the same b*tch, yeah, he might have hit it first, only problem is I'm rich, uh."

6. "Freestyle 4"

While doing my research, I didn't know Desiigner was on the vocals. Well, this beat is just insane. One of the best beats on the albums. Tyler the Creator and A$AP Rocky did a remix. This was just completely innovative.

7. "I Love Kanye"

There was absolutely no beat on this. It's crazy because he didn't even need a beat. It was insane. He basically ended everything with Kanye but it worked. Did that s*** with no beat because Kanye don't need no beat and still ate that.

8. "Waves"

I couldn't find a gif to represent "Waves" so here's a gif of Kanye staring. "Waves" is just a monstrous song from the very beginning. Chance the Rapper actually helped with this song and he has Chris Brown on it too? Fire.

9. "Frank's Track"

ONE OF THE BIGGEST SURPRISES. Frank came out of nowhere and made a special appearance on Kanye's album. It was only about 40 seconds but it was just fantastic and exactly what we needed.

10. "FML"

This was a collaboration that was going to happen eventually. The Weeknd voice is just magical, Kanye just knew. The Weeknd's whole approach was nice, the beat was very simple. That's what made it better.

Those are my top 10 favorites, I know. I'm missing great songs like "Low Lights", "Real Friends", "Wolves", "30 Hours", "No More Parties in LA", "Facts", "Fade", and "Saint Pablo". But that's the crazy part, there is so much more. He collectively put together a fabulous album that deserves to have the honor. Yes, Lemonade, The Coloring Book and Views which were good albums but no one can touch Kanye. He did his fashion show collection debut and introduced his album at the same time. F***ING GENIUS. The Life of Pablo definitely deserves Album of the Year at the Grammys and that's all.

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.

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.
