I choose this song because i never get tired of hearing this song. i love their voices and what the whole song is about. this song is in every technology device i have. i would love to go see them in a concert because the banjos are amazing. it was the best song for 2013 because it played everywhere and I've never met anybody who didn't like this song other than the rude comments on youtube.

 
 i choose this movie because this movie was so interesting to watch. the whole movie was in space and i saw it in 3d so that made it even better. it was emotional and full of action. this movie gave me motivation and hope. it was the best movie of the year because i saw it with my boyfriend and it was i guess you can say our first date. this movie is 5 stars.. 

This photo shows joyful people who are having a pillow fight celebrating.
