Tea, however she does it a lot better than most of the other girls The term "generational talent" gets thrown around too much these days but gahdamn I am just so obsessed with looking at her. You can tell she's truly MEANT to be a huge pop star she's just never been able to gain the kind of traction she deserves.

I used to be a lil flippant commenting about her behavior cuz …. Well she does seem a lil erratic at times !! But the more she opens up about the pain she carries , all I can do is pray for her and wish her healing. No one should ever have to endure what she has. The world loves you Britney!

There's just an interesting difference so far in what's being said in this thread vs anything about Ariana , that's all I care to say for now

I think it's perfectly acceptable to feel for the children while having no regard for him. He's been a net force of evil in this world. So ya I hope his kids are safe and will be taken away from him and put in a safe environment where they are loved and cared for, and as far as he goes …. Oh damn well girl ! But the images are truly ……. scary to say the least

I think it would inevitably be worse to lose with a candidate solely propped up by establishment endorsements / AIPAC dark money than to potentially lose with a candidate that represents a change from the status quo for Dems. And also if the voters of Michigan really want a republican representing them after the dysfunctional two years they've controlled every branch of govt, that's their dumbass decision.

Someone make sure Papa Bear gets fed tonight 💔

So many abhorrent , disgusting comments and an endless amount of p*ssy ass losers downvoting anyone who isn't parroting the same problematic talking point that this is all related to her alleged eating disorder So many of you should be ashamed of yourselves yet so many of you are nothing more than self righteous dingbat idiots. I hope Ariana takes the time she needs to feel better about being in the public eye , and I hope many of you will take the time to reflect on how your incessant critiques are part of the reason why she feels the need to withdraw so completely from the public eye for a minute. Truly wish nothing but the worst for a lot of you ingrates.

Part of being a celebrity , of course , means you are going to be scrutinized by the public ..that'll never change. Comparing Ariana "needing help" to Britney Spears "needing help" is wild tho. The only similarity is that in both situations we should always just want the best for these women. Not always even out of concern, just in general bc they're talented pop divas and we worship them. The way people go about choosing to express that online is the issue at hand Ariana's weight has fluctuated throughout her career. Look at her on the My Everything cover for example .. she's very thin there ! And perhaps she is thinner presently , maybe it's also just showing differently.. or maybe the most important thing is that, while I've conceded it's inevitable, the constant speculation about her weight (that she's presently addressing in the form of her visuals for this era btw) is oftentimes expressed in not constructive / harmful ways by people who have truly no clue what's going on behind the scenes in her life. Because god forbid you people are wrong , and there is something she's dealing with and it's different than people callously perpetuating that it MUST be an eating disorder … you think that the way people talk about her online is helping her situation at all ? It even weirdly feels gross to have to explain that. I mean for what it's worth she's on tour right now performing for 2 hours every night and sounding some of the best she ever has in her life .. seems contradictory to her struggling in such a dangerous way as many of you purport. But there are also certain signals that make it …. Let's just say not all that surprising!

All that ruminating on modern feminism just to exhibit the same behaviors and attitudes you would think she seeks to quash …. Idk where this idiot heifer ever came from but if she went away forever i don't know that anyone would gaf. Leave Ariana alone.

Notice Dua couldn't even be bothered to learn the lyrics to this slop ass song

And 50,000 of them coordinated among themselves to enter Spain from the same entry points and the same exact time ?? Seems odd, no ?

though it borders on sounding demented / conspiratorial to the point of lunacy , you can always count on this f*cking idiot to just give it away and say the quiet part out loud….. so ya I fully believe he and this admin had something to do with this. With Israel and Morocco's help. And with all the signs pointing to a midterm blowout they have every propagandist in the administration seizing on the , admittedly alarming, images to drum up fear among the base as to what could happen if Dems control government again. But it's a rather "in the weeds" kind of situation to explain to the average American / even European about why these countries would conspire in such a manner to punish Spain .. to say nothing of the fact that alleging this is a deliberate plot to punish Spain for their stance against Israel's genocidal interests will only accrue more allegations of antisemitism We're reaching a really scary stage of international relations where the most evil countries in the world are going to drastic lengths to retain power and conjure potent anti-immigrant sentiment. And it requires progressives to be vigilant and adept at defending arguments that on their face can sound just like straight up conspiracy theories.

As an Ari stan since 2013 , and though it pains me to say this , it's a 5 or 6/10. Average to slightly above average. A lot of the songs feel to me , so far , like they'd be perfectly adequate album tracks that I'd mostly skip over if it was any other artist. But because it's her and I generally like most of her albums from start to finish .. it's just disappointing I guess. I wish I felt differently but that's where it stands for now.

I did my second listen this morning and it's still not clicking for me even Sweetner , which is arguably my least favorite album from her , had more tracks that I was able to pick out and put on rotation that ultimately lead to me appreciating the full project a lil more …. So far with this record the only song I truly love is bad thing/bunny hop. You're never gonna like everything that one of your favorite artists puts out, and I do commend her for experimenting with her sound … my biggest problem , as others have noted , is the songwriting and the fact that it's much more vocally subdued than her previous records. I'm hoping more of it will grow on me over time.

Uh positions is a masterpiece .. the albums are not comparable at all

Um ……. It's gonna have to grow on me .. bad thing (bunny hop) is the best song for me I like that it's really different for her I can't lie I feel like I'm disappointed that this album doesn't seem to have …. Idk I guess the vocal moments I've come to expect from her. I felt like a lot of the songs have this similar cadence with where she uses her voice in a kinda rushed way that doesn't let her hold notes for very long. Maybe that's intentional , but I really love hearing Ari belt and use the full expanse of her amazing voice; I felt like this album is largely missing that

She really views life thru a lens of Stan/twitter beef it's so crazy lol

I think we need to really start examining this type of thing with careful eyes and open minds. There are nefarious, fascistic powers in this world that are very adept at using things like social media outrage/videos as means to push racist anti immigrant agendas. To say nothing of the terrifying advancement of AI (I don't think this is AI but my point is about a larger, darker real life movement) and in general when we talk about immigration we should ask ourselves why people, mainly black/brown/poc, feel they need to flee their countries in the first place and whether or not our tax dollars have ever contributed to that

Well she's like burping and fidgeting and stuttering when she's asked basic policy questions to say nothing of the fact (and sorry this is mean but she's a Zionist idgaf) she indeed DOES look like an ogre that's suspended between human - ogre transformation. Abdul is hot , perhaps not perfect (no candidate is!) but most importantly he seems to really care about improving quality of life for people in Michigan.

Period. I was listening to a lot of it last week and it really holds up well today I think. X-static Process and Mother and Father are some of my faves. And Nothing Fails is such a fabulous song too.

Ughh this sounds SO GOOD ! I hope she feels confident enough to release again soon cuz I feel like she does have some good will behind her (she just needs to stop talking about her abuser ex)

I don't think Miley would be stupid enough to do that but you never know I guess.

Truly hilarious destroyed her reputation only to be regarded with a throwaway racist joke … she quite literally got son'd and she's gonna have nothing to say about it lmfaooo

It's nice that all the years after Sucker she was finally able to make a "rock" album on her own terms, not as much label input The record is fabulous. She exists in this very specific niche of artist for me where 98% of the time I'm gonna love whatever they release. Glad she keeps evolving and raising the bar.
