What would we do without our mom? Whether she’s offering comfort via some milk and cookies, or cheering from the sidelines of the state championships, she’s always by your side — even when you don’t come home with the first-place trophy. So for all her grace and patience and hard work and most importantly LOVE, we’ve whipped up this playlist of 10 songs to celebrate the amazing woman she is. Kicking things off up top is Christina Aguilera ‘s emotional ballad and chart-topping 2000 hit, “I Turn to You.” While the song can apply to anyone who’s been there for you, no one has the strength and will to be there till the end like your mom — making this the perfect song to show your appreciation.

But even though he’s been gone for nearly a decade, his adventurous music and ground-breaking style continue to echo.

Whitney Houston may be gone , but she will never be forgotten . However, the same can’t be said for some of her singles over the years. Since The Voice appeared on the scene in the mid-’80s, radio has been kind to such classics as “I Will Always Love You”, “How Will I Know”, “The Greatest Love Of All” and “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay”.

That polarizing victory reignited a decades-old debate about the relevance and future direction of the awards show.
