Ariana Grande

What a waste of a good voice.

Her newest album came out a couple days ago. What does the DL think of it?

She's more talented and successful than Janet.

I think the album isn't horrible and has a few likable tracks.

I would produce her differently and get rid of the "baby voice". There are a lot of singers who wished they could sing this well.

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like "Frozen"

Why are you commenting on a trash troll thread?

Go back to yahoo chat. Get a life and stop being so stupid.

Will someone teach this girl how to enunciate?

I think I made out six words in the entire song. What is she saying?

Something about tears and not crying. I think.

R7 That'll be enough out of you, Ms. Frankie Grande.

Borderline feat. Missy Elliott skitters along quickly and pleasantly

Her career is centered around her youth, she'll be over in 5 years if she doesn't seriously reinvent herself in a successful way, think katy perry.

She has a stunning voice. I just don’t hear that emotional connection that I hear with, say, Whitney, to launch Ariana into the classic superstar orbit

There are some important enunciation rules she can learn from my music.

We vibin' so shut yo mouth.

[quote]It just seems like the typical trashy melody that the bar life simpletons would subscribe to.

"No Tear Left to Cry" is not at all a typical trashy melody.

It was written after the Manchester concert bombing and at the beginning of Ariana's relationship with Pete Davidson. The writers cleverly glued together two songs with different energies, written in different keys. One is about her experiencing something that's unimaginably devastating, the other is about falling in love with a bad boy who seems to understand what she's going through.

The lyrics seem trite enough to sound like typical pop, but they are efficient and poetic once you know the background. The video is mesmerizing. I'm glad there are still artists turning out pop confections like this. You may not like the style and it may seem simple on its surface, but it's a pretty complex work of collaborative art.

Was it necessary to bump this old ass thread?

This is her only song that I like. It's nowhere near classic Mariah or Whitney though. It's not even in Celine Dion territory.

She started out in musical theatre. The lack of enunciation is an affectation.

I don't even like her voice but professional twit Miley Cyrus does a better version. It made me laugh to see someone in the comments accuse Miley of overenunciating.

Olly Alexander's live vocals are shaky at best but I enjoy his version more as well.

R21, that was painful. Her voice is like grated cheese.

Very nasal, and overly twangy to my taste. But she has the range of notes and her interpretation is solid.
