See what I did there?

Carrie Underwood: The Ultimate Idol For America
FirstCovers

Let's be honest here: Carrie Underwood is the definition of perfection. She has the looks, the attitude, and the voice of an angel. She is one that your daughters can look up to without worry of a sexualized tabloid or scandal about her. Carrie is the ULTIMATE American Idol (see what I did there?).

1. She is the most well known Idol winner

I know what you're thinking, "what about Kelly Clarkson?!" Although Clarkson was the first American Idol winner in history, Underwood outshines her, especially in Underwood's most recent "Storyteller" tour. In awards alone, Carrie has landed over 142 awards, including more than 6 Grammy awards. Underwood has also earned more than 50 million dollars more than Clarkson in the past decade. Even Ryan Seacrest chose Carrie Underwood as the most successful American Idol winner over Kelly Clarkson! If that isn't saying something,

then I'm not sure what is.

2. She is a role model for the whole family

Carrie knows how to keep it classy. She rocks every single one of her outfits without any distasteful showings. She doesn't need to "throw that ass in a circle" at her concerts to get the crowds going. She can make fans get up and dance to songs without a single cuss word or derogatory comment. Similar with her interviews, she is poised and keeps her family-friendly reputation well-maintained. Carrie also isn't just a superstar, she's also a mother and loving wife. She incorporates her values into all of her music, especially highlighting on her family and faith.

3. Her music isn't all "f**k b*****s, get money"

We all know the type of music I'm talking about here. Music is starting to lose it's intended purpose of telling stories, sending messages, and connecting emotionally to listeners with today's pop and rap music. Carrie Underwood has effortlessly brought the indended purpose back. Carrie's music tells of heart break, love, lust, family, growing up, faith, revenge, and more. In fact, her 2016 tour is even called "Storyteller" because of her love to tell stories through music and finds importance in it. It's so hard to find artists who make music with meaning anymore. There are few things in life that are more powerful than music that can really connect with people, especially when they are going through either really great or really terrible situations. Tugging at the heart strings through music is just too rare in this day and age to not get recognition.

4. She is physically perfect and you can't deny it

I mean, just LOOK. She is literally all of the goals.

Carrie Underwood is a confident leader, not only in the country music industry, but in all aspects of life. While most other artists mold their personality and music to fit the wants of their fans, she isn't afraid to sing from the heart and about what she believes in. She is a woman for your daughters to grow up and strive to be like.

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.

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.
