Uhhhh not the borderline slander

It sounds so good, but no bridge?

Yeah, that's what I think as well. All of us is assuming that it's an MV, but what if it was a short film a la Brighter Days Ahead?

Leave me alone and my delusions. I was just watching the Right There performance and made me crave a proper collaboration with Tori. JoJo, I mean, who else but one of the OG Pop&B girls to collaborate with.

Do we think that she really has features on this album? I know she neither confirmed or denied it, and she hasn't really shown the tracklist on the vinyl unboxing. Hoping for some JoJo or Tori Kelly (I wish).

I'm seeing now how much the GeePee is loving her recent performances. Various videos with over 100k likes on TikTok, comments raving about her voice. Despite all the discourse about her health and body, her talent still shines. Really, a vocalist that stood the test of time. Wishing I could go and see her live one day (when she decides to tour in Asia again).

Something about the one about seeds is very much giving Butterfly (song) by Mariah Carey I really love how her acapellas can just be standalone tracks by theirselves.

Giving Sweetener vibes, lyric wise

oh mother, loving the lyrics so far

The HTIMYLM warm up she posted is so reminiscent of her vocal stylings during YT era. She's also fully back to using "baby" as adlibs. We are so back.

I just want every song to have a bridge and for them to be at least 3:30 in length. Hopefully, warning signs is not really an interlude.

Pardon me for gushing about Ariana, but I really also love the evolution of emotional delivery in her performances. She used to be miss no emotions, that only she can show happiness with her live performances. Now, you can almost tear up watching her perform hampstead.

I've read that while the vocalists before her had ballads to really show off their vocals, she has Dangerous Woman. I agree. That song really is where she shows off and thankful that she seems to be pushing it as her signature song.

I guess let's just stop doubting her ear for hits. She always proves us wrong in the end.

1 year? And still relevant? Not everyone has that.

She's done this before IIRC. She funded several people's mental health services. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Edit: This is what I remembered: https://www.pledge.to/case-studies/ariana-grande

Oh Ariana, may you never see the floors of the khia asylum

She's really taking it with the recent DW performance. Many have debuted after her but no one really goes viral or known solely for their voice. It's crazy to think that she might really be the last MPG vocalist.

I'm just curious, is playlisting helping with the streams? Or is it just the GP really playing this on their own volition?

As much as I want her to perform nasty, I think she's past that point of her life already. I mean, I know she still loves that song and her other older songs for that matter. I think the current her would not just perform that, if you get what I mean.

The reception to this song has been similar to positions (single) so far. Lukewarm reviews and feelings towards the song initially, but got better reception the more people played it.

I think we don't give here enough credit for her vocal stability. She's running, hopping, doing a lot of these body movements, yet she still sounds good. The improvement from HMT (yes I know this was also a decade ago) is commendable. She's known for her ease as well, but to be accused of lip syncing? I love a singer, a vocalist. She just loves her craft so much, and so happy that she's happy sharing it with us. Really hope she's staying off social media.

I would also like to add that despite her doing what she wanted (releasing whenever she wanted during the SWT-TUN era) and despite allegedly always releasing the same thing, people still listen to her. I guess it's just her voice that makes you want to listen to her or at least not skip her songs when they come in shuffle. I've been a fan for 13 years already and it really is that voice that makes me stay.

Come to think of it, artists who have debuted alongside her are now nowhere to be seen. When a new crop of pop girls appear, they always tend to be compared to Ariana. She always feels current. As was already stated here, she might not have monstrous eras, but she is always consistent. There's really something about her staying power that is underrated.
