She sang her ass off the entire Netflix special. The lighting for the show was terrible though. Yeah, I remember reading an article that said she requested to be bathed in colored light that matches her surroundings rather than be the center of attention with a white spotlight, which I guess I can see for the purposes of making the show feel more blended and ethereal but at the same time people came to see Ariana lol.

I was low-key bored, from a performance aspect. Gave me high school theater vibes. But, yeah, she sounded PHENOMENAL throughout. The Mariah moment was really cute too! I'm so glad she was able to have that. Also, now that Mariah has acknowledged her, I was glad that she dropped the whole "My MAIN inspirations were Madonna and Imogen Heap" shtick because it was clear she only said that out of hurt. NO one was buying it.

I watched the tour movie on Netflix today. I was amazed again by her vocal abilities. Just wow, hitting the notes with ease. Also the songs brought me back so many memories.

Christmas has a queen but looks like someone wants to follow in that footsteps and be princess!! Santa Tell Me is one of the best new christmas outside of the champion and Underneath The Tree
Much like Mariah she put it out way early in her career, I can see it growing over the years and becoming a staple

It's been growing each year, but this is the first year where it actually lived up to the hype. I can see it and the Kelly track becoming staples in several years.

*sorry for triple posting*
I just realized I was listening to a 1 Hour Version of "safety net" at 41:33... I need this to be released as a single.

^I've been obsessed with safety net and love language this week. I hate that love language is the worst performing song off the album tho. I could've totally seen it being a single somewhere down the road

I’m probably in the minority here, but I went back and revisited Yours Truly. It’s probably my second favorite album of hers behind Dangerous Woman, but only barely. I really miss how effortlessly she could marry Pop and R&B, and those albums honestly sound more mature to me than her most recent output. They were... tasteful, I guess? But especially the former. I used to knock it for being kiddy when I was younger, but the older I get the more I appreciate the little nuances to it.
She’s smart to play to her base and she’s doing a damn good job of it, can’t knock her there even if I kinda fell off her wagon a while ago, but speaking of ANTi I’m looking forward to her “I’ve got enough clout that idgaf” album. I’m talking out of my ass but her debut, to me, seems like her most authentic album to date.

I remember her citing R&B artists and albums as influences when making her debut so I’ve always believed that the R&B/Pop fusion of YT is the most genuine her (it just hasn’t aged well to me). I was excited to see a mainstream Pop star come along and have success fusing the two but ofc her label shoved her down the Pop chute and to mostly great effect so can’t be mad. I do hope positions is the signal that she’s about to start digging deeper into her R&B bag or, at least, giving us more variance with her sound.

I think we can all agree on one thing... her least authentic album is probably My Everything. It plays a bit like a playlist of potential hits without any cohesion.
The singles are A+ tho.

The singles is what did it for me on ME. The best since Katy’s TD. I wish “Only 1” was released as the second single instead of BF.

I absolutely love Only 1 though BF not as the second single would be an absolute misfire since BF and especially its music video helped catapult her career imo I also don't think Only 1 would have faired well as a single in general tbh, its one of those songs that is a fantastic album track but probably wouldn't make for a successful single
