Whitney Houston had a stellar career spanning three decades. She became known as "The Voice" and any look into her discography will explain why.

Houston has received a nomination for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. These ten songs are what make her a worthy inductee.

10. I Look To You

A beautiful song from what would be Houston's final album. The song's subject matter speaks about something very close to Houston's heart, her faith.

9. Where Do Broken Hearts Go

This song speaks to just about every romantic out there. This also broke records, becoming Houston's seventh consecutive number one single.

8. It's Not Right, But It's Okay (Thunderpuss Mix)

While the album version of this song did well, this remix gave it new life. Houston's music always did well in the clubs and this song was a huge dance hit.

7. Try It On My Own

An overlooked song from an overlooked album. "Try It On My Own" was released as a single from Houston's 2002 album, "Just Whitney." This track featured inspirational lyrics that most people can relate to. It talks about moving on and heading out on your own.

6. I'm Your Baby Tonight

The funky production of this dance track sucked you in. The catchiness of the hook sealed the deal. This song is a pop classic and nobody can deny that.

5. How Will I Know

This is a classic eighties pop song. From her debut album, this track proved Houston could sing uptempo dance songs as well as ballads.

4. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)

Taken from Houston's second album, this hit helped her avoid the dreaded sophomore slump.

3. I Have Nothing

Taken from what was possibly her biggest accomplishment, 1992's soundtrack to "The Bodyguard." Houston's first major acting role earned her praise and this hit certainly made it even sweeter.

2. Greatest Love of All

This inspiration ode to loving yourself made its way onto Houston's debut album. Even though it's a cover, this song is now more widely associated with Houston.

1. I Will Always Love You

When Houston passed away in 2012, this song was referenced quite a bit. This Dolly Parton cover has become Houston's signature tune and after hearing it, you can understand why.

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.
