Opinion: Is Ella Mai the Best R&B Singer of the 2010s?By Phillip Collins
There have been several 2010s record-breaking R&B recording artists. Jhene Aiko. Miguel. H.E.R. But one female singer has managed to captivate the industry in a genuine and relaxing tune, Ella Mai.
The Grammy-winning artist debuted her first EP in February 2016 after getting signed to DJ Mustard’s Interscope Records. Two years later, she released her self-titled album, which sold 69,000 album-equivalent units and received 4 pivotal music awards.
Arguably enough, Jhene Aiko, Miguel and H.E.R have sold over 25 million albums combined. With that being said, is Ella Mai really the best R&B singer of the 2010s?
The answer is no. Perhaps she’s won several awards, but Mai comes no match to the other cultural phenomena of the past decade. Perhaps she could become the best R&B singer of the next generation, nonetheless the best of her genre. But that will all depend on future sales and you.
Weird and Wrong Sayings about Animals
By Antoinette Durand
The first weird and wrong saying is "cute as a bug's ear". Bugs are gross. Some people even have arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders. This phrase probably comes from the word "acute" because bugs have great or acute hearing. Somewhere along the line it might have confused.
Someone who "cries crocodile tears" isn't really sad or remorseful about what they've done. You might actually be happy while you cry crocodile tears. Crocs tear up when they eat because they get so excited that air is pushed through their sinuses and tears are shed. Crocodile tears are physical reaction, not fakery at all.

The blue glaucus, or glaucus atlanticus, is a sea slug. Beware, these sea creatures are beautiful to look at, but very poisonous to the touch. And despite it’s prickles, most blue glaucas only reach 3 centimeters long. Like a few unique poisonous creatures, they get their poison from a very particular host, the Portuguese man o'war, a type of fish. While eating those fish, the blue glaucus stores up the stinging needles from them. They are stored inside and kept there for the future. They are invertebrates, but quick ones at that. They float on the currents, and because they have those stingers, they can grab their pick of fish! (Source:Oceana)
Basking sharks, or it’s latin name, Cetorhinus Maximus, are enormous sharks. They are recognized by large gill slits, smooth dark grey skin, and their almost always opened mouth. Basking sharks feed on all the little creatures, like plankton and juvenile shrimp. They can grow up to 9.14 meters! The longest recorded basking shark was about 9.75 meters. The gills they have are like strainers, filtering out the water and algae,leaving only fish eggs, krill, and other little sea animals. There were two albino basking sharks recorded out in the North Atlantic. Usually, you can find basking sharks in Scotland.
