Hi! This week I'm going to share my opinion on one of my favorite musical artists: Selena Gomez. This is all based on my personal opinion, so you don't have to agree. Currently, she has six studio albums (including "For You"). This list will only include her personal albums and will not include soundtracks or other projects. 6.  ("Stars Dance [Deluxe Edition]" Album Cover)          In sixth place, is Gomez' first solo album, "Stars Dance", which was released in 2013. The album mainly consists of dance-pop and has no real direction. While some of the songs can be enjoyable to listen to individually, the album as a whole represents more of a compilation of songs, rather than conveying a clear message.          Since this was also an 'introduction' to Gomez as an individual, I don't appreciate how many of the tracks are dance songs. This album also seems to try too hard to make Selena Gomez look 'grown-up' and t...

Theme songs are important, but today I'm going to highlight why. Theme songs set viewers up for the upcoming episode and create anticipation. They also allow viewers to sing along with the cheesy lyrics and dance to the infectious music, creating happy memories. Theme songs allow the writers of the tv show to display the show's values and purpose in a song for many to enjoy, every time they watch the show.  Here are some theme songs that are popular:  1. "Drake & Josh" (2004-2007) In Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh", Drake Parker (played by Drake Bell) and Josh Nichols (played by Josh Peck), two very different teenagers, suddenly become brothers, when their families converge. The show is very enjoyable and funny, and many remember it for its theme song.  In the theme song, "I Found A Way", which was sung by Drake Bell, Bell sings that even though it seemed crazy and difficult to become brothers, he eventually found a way...

Guess who's back on Disney Channel? I mean you should probably already know, considering you clicked on this post.          With the return of Raven- Symoné  in 2017, people were left wondering what shows would be rebooted and which of their favorite actors and actresses would be returning to the Disney Channel.          Recently, there has been a "Kim Possible" live-action, movie remake and there is a High School Musical tv show reboot in the works, which honestly reminds me of the failed "Madison High" tv show, which was rumored to star Luke Benward, Katherine McNamara, and G. Hannelius.          I personally believe that this new era of Disney Channel is mainly based on nostalgia. I enjoy watching "Raven's Home" and the "Ducktales" remake and both are major reasons as to why I still watch Disney Channel. Both shows are good moves for the network.            I did...
