The Top 5 Performances From The Billboard Music Awards 2017
Billboard.com

Last Sunday the 2017 Billboard Music Awards were on and there were many special performances. Opening the show was Nicki Minaj and honestly, I've seen her do better, but it wasn't a terrible performance and it got people's attention. Besides Nicki, the list of performers included: Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Julia Michaels (lover her), Sam Hunt, Imagine Dragons, Drake, Halsey, Florida Georgia Line and John Legend, The Chainsmokers, Camilla Cabello, Ed Sheeran, Cher, Celine Dion, and Bruno Mars. Here are my top 5 best performances at the BBMA's 2017:

1. Camilla Cabello


This was her first performance as a solo artist since leaving Fifth Harmony. She absolutely nailed her performance and showed that she can really make it going solo!

2. Ed Sheeran


He was performing 'Castle On The Hill' live from his concert in Santiago, Chile. What I love about Ed is that he's so authentic and he really is a one man band with his loop pedal and guitar!

3. Bruno Mars

Bruno performed 'Versace On The Floor', but really the only thing on the floor was my jaw. What a talented man! I'm seeing him in concert in October and I think I'm just going to be a puddle of emotions by the end.

4. Cher

At 71, she can still move better than I can. The video isn't her entire performance, but it shows a little bit of her singing 'Believe'. (Click the picture to see the video).

5. Celine Dion

(Click on the photo to view a clip of the performance). There was not a dry eye in the house. At 49 years old, she can still belt out the classic song, 'My Heart Will Go On' and of course, received a standing ovation! Honestly, I couldn't help but think about how Rose really could've left some room for Jack on the door while scenes from "Titanic" played on the screen in the background.

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.
