Most of my friends own a copy of this by now. I don’t know, it just seems perfect for any occassion as a present. It’s also the best starting point to listen to The Cranberries, since no album sums up their career more, than this one has. Most best-of …

I really like this song. It’s absolutely the real thing that’s happening nowadays. I love how Christina sang this song which really gives justice to women. Even before women are being underestimated. They said that because we are women we cannot do this, we cannot do that. Other people …

I’ve honestly never listened to any of Jessica Simpson’s songs. But, I have seen her in movies. And, after some time, she has actually started winning me over a bit.
Some will criticize her as being a stereotypical dumb blonde. If that were the case, then how is it she’s …

When I first heard Shawn Mendes around 2 years ago, the time he debuted “Life of the Party”, he reminded me very much of Justin Bieber. His voice has the same flavor, youth and coldness of the star that sold out at that time.
I think the difference between …
