The Best of 2011

What was the best song of 2011?


Adele's Someone Like You was not only #21 on Billboards hot songs of 2011, but it Someone Like You is also my favorite song of 2011. Adele's soulful beautiful voice is one which has rocked the world the world. Adele has such an original sound which intrigues listeners. Adele is a songstrist that will be around for a long time and her artwork Someone Like You is like a Picasso, it will never devalue. This is why I have chosen Adele's Someone Like You as the best song of 2011.

What was the best Movie of 2011?


I've chosen the Help as the best movie of 2011 because it was a great movie that I really enjoyed. This movie showed the telling truth of racial issues. This movie brings to the for front issues which are ignored as being non-existent and tells a story in which intrigued me.

What was the most important news story of the year?



I believe the capturing and killing of the al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden was the most important news of 2011. The U.S. had been searching for Osama bin Laden for many many years. Bin Laden had been on the United State's most wanted list as number one and for him to finally be captured was a great accomplishment given his violent and heartless leading role in terrorism around the world.

Who was the most important person of 2011?


I have chosen President Obama as the most important person of 2011. As our president he has faced many challenges and is facing many chanllenges. Chanllenges in which he has and is taking on with strength, optimism, and knowledge. Even if people want to ignore it or simply don't acknowledge the fact that President Obama is being challenged by not only world problems, but he is also being challenged by many people and politicians of our own country not only because of the differences in political views, but because of the fact that he is black and not only is he black, but he is the President of the United States.

What was the biggest entertainment story of 2011?



I think the finalizing of the Oprah Winfrey show's retirment was the biggest entertainment news story of 2011. There has been talk for a few years now and it sadly finally happened. The Oprah Winfrey show is one in which set records in television history and will always be a modle and inspiration for aspiring talk show hosts. But it was much more then a talk show. The Oprah Winfrey show and the name Oprah has become a staple of iconic America. This is why I have chosen the retirement of the Oprah Winfrey show.

3 Favorite Photos of 2011

g2 pictures of the year: Riot Breaks Out After Game In Vancouver
This is one of my favorite photos of the year because it seems as if it came off of the set of a Hollywood movie, but it is an actual real life event. Passion captured in the mist of chaos.

This picture of the 2011 Royal Wedding is one of my favorite pictures of the year because it captures a happy moment in the history of our world. Many critics of the Royal Wedding criticize the worlds obssesion with an event that has no governmental or real precedence in our own countries, but I believe moments like this in history, moments when the world finds common intereset in events in which bring us together with joy, are moments that should be cherished and not criticized. Not to mention that Kate's dress is simply gorgeous.

This picture of President Obama, Biden, Clinton, and others watching updates of the successful mission against Osama bin Laden is one of my favorites of the year because it shows the President's as well as other influential governing figure's commitment and support of the capturing of Osama bin Laden, a world terrorist.
