7 Things Better Than '7 Rings'

Unpopular opinion: "7 Rings" doesn't deserve to be your next bop.

Real Talk: "7 Rings", while it already is under critique for being "stolen tunes", it definitely doesn't slap as hard as most of Ariana Grande's songs. She can run a mean hook, a mean chorus, but you can't deny that the only thing quality about this song is the beat. Sure, it has danceability, but where's something more meaningful than flaunting all the stuff you can buy.

Sure, you've been through some stuff and you want to come out strong. But, you can write something that isn't about your tattoos that you misspell.

5 Reasons James Corden's 'Late Late Show' Is The Best Talk Show

No matter what he does, no matter what he says, it's impossible not to laugh at him.

After days of hard work and days of hardcore stress from college, my sisters and I always watch at least a few YouTube videos of "The Late Late Show" with the notoriously funny James Corden as the host. Like Ellen DeGeneres, this guy never fails to make me laugh with his skits and his interactions. I think he is just so creative in his skits, that is what makes his show so refreshing to watch! I wish I can catch his actual show on television but his show comes on very late at night at 12:35 a.m., hence the title of his show. And for that reason, that is why my sisters and I watch YouTube videos of James Corden's "The Late Late Show."

If you enjoy watching "The Ellen Show," I recommend you also watch James Corden's "The Late Late Show" and here are the reasons why.

You Can't Be Sad While Listening To These 9 Musical Theater Songs

Youtube

I grew up with musical theater: watching, listening, singing along, and hearing random clarinet parts from my basement (my dad is a pit musician). Growing up and leaving home, I found out that apparently, not everyone's family listens to musical soundtracks on car rides! Most families also don't discuss the orchestra parts in great detail or belt the lyrics to every other song on a playlist of old musicals. I guess that's just part of what makes my family so much fun.

But the good news is, musicals are still very much loved outside of my family. I haven't had to look very far to find other people who get excited about soundtracks just like I do. Or at the very least, my roommates let me play stuff on a fifteen-minute car ride to Target.
