Ariana Grande has risen so much in my eyes over the incident. Not only because she raised money, joined celebrities, paid for the victims funerals... but at her concert, she showed the world she can sing. Fighting through tears she sang one more time and over the rainbow, and she felt every word.

She’s a beautiful person and I don’t think anyone can deny that. Regardless if you like her music, she did something incredible.

[soccerchick4eva]

Totally agree!

[Hidden_P]

Thanks for mh!

I have a few friends in Manchester so the whole performance felt very close to me even though I watch on tv. I cried through like the last hour

[Hidden_P]

Also as a bit of a side... if you watch back the performance of “one last time” at One Love you’ll notice that Miley Cyrus is the only other person with a microphone. I’m guessing since they are close Ariana asked her to sing the song in case she got too emotional.

So 1. Fair play for getting through it, 2. I think Miley deserves credit for allowing that emotion to show without instant stepping in. The support Miley gave raised my views of her.

I want to do one covering celebrity deaths this year

[soccerchick4eva]

that would be an interesting one

[smahala1991]

That would be kinda long lol

[Hidden_P]

I feel you are a year too late. Last year was a killer for celebrities.

[smahala1991]

@Hidden_P this year was too honestly

[Hidden_P]

I can’t think of many celeb deaths this year whereas last year it seemed monthly

[tartaarsaus]

I'd add in August that Trump threatened North Korea with 'fire and fury that the world has never seen before' since that was pretty much the moment war with North Korea became an infinitely more real possibility.

December Jerusalem should be 'The USA recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel' since what you had implies that they recognize Jerusalem, which is ambiguity in it's purest way. Add to that the denounciation by the UN but also the the recognition and embassy moves of other countries.

Other thing I'd add is the Charlottesville rally thing.

Overall pretty decent list for an overall review of headlines

[soccerchick4eva]

Ahh yeah! and thanks :)

[Anon-ymous1]

Good list; each year's history is long and complex, time and again. Somehow this year felt worse because of 45, but blood and terror have always existed... he just seems to be making them worse.

[soccerchick4eva]

Very long and its so much blood and terror :(

[Omar5881]

Where's the terreroist attacks in Arab countries? That's bullocks , where's at least the 315 prayer that died in a mosque in Egypt?

[soccerchick4eva]

I was just basing this on what was shown when you search up as the so called top things that happened in 2017 from Google, as I said I didn't include a lot because the list would go on for ages

[Omar5881]

Okay

[MarkyyG123]

Why should she?

[Omar5881]

@MarkyyG123 because it's a take about 2017 not terreroist attack in America , and north Korea

[soccerchick4eva]

I stated it's just a few not everything in the beginning and end of the take

[MarkyyG123]

It is a SHORT review on, you could understand, the mainstream events of the past year. Not on events that were hardly heard off

[Omar5881]

I said okay by the way

[Omar5881]

@MarkyyG123 I wasn't addressing you

[MarkyyG123]

Sure you were, you tagged me hahahaha

[Omar5881]

@MarkyyG123 I mean at first place

[Omar5881]

@MarkyyG123 like the original comment

[MarkyyG123]

I'm going to say Okay because I believe you've lost us all hahahahaha

[Omar5881]
