Imagine is one of the best songs on TUN and one of Ari's best, period.

Imagine is one of the best songs on TUN and one of Ari's best, period. that’s probably my least fave from tun lmao it’s so boring, one of two skips for me (the other is ghostin, it’s too sad, also make up if i’m not in the mood all the other tracks are bops!)

Four years later and "fake smile" and "NASA" are the weak links on thank u, next for me. I wouldn't say "make up" is top tier or anything but it's a cute bop.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

"Make Up" is the only song from 'Thank U, Next' I could do without. As opposed to 'Sweetener' and 'Positions' where most of those albums don't do it for me.

Imagine is one of the best songs on TUN and one of Ari's best, period. It isn't bad at all, I just find it boring. The whistle notes are a bit grating too. I'm surprised people don't like Ghostin, I think it's possibly the best song on the album I still don't think I have listened to Positions in full properly. Sweetener has my favourite Ariana song of all time (No Tears Left To Cry), but that album overall is one of my least favourite things from her for me. It has a few really strong songs, but when it's bad, it's bad

“needy” and “in my head” are the only skips for me on thank u, next. However, the highs on sweetener (ntltc, giaw, breathin, everytime, gng) are better than anything on thank u, next. But the lows on sweetener are worse than anything on thank u, next

Such...interesting takes. Like...I understand Ghostin' being hard to listen to because of the subject matter, but what an immaculatey arranged, produced, and sung song. Another one of the best songs in her catalog. Imagine just hits me and always makes me smile in its simplicity but it's another extremely well arranged song.
Edit: I just went back to Imagine and...yup...still gorgeous. Everything about it. The ending is transcendental and transportive. Thank You, Next is a great album. If ONE song had to go, it would definitely be Make Up and even that song isn't bad, just...slight.
Regarding that video, it really sucks that she had to make it, but that's the world we live in. Even regular degular people are torn apart, so I can't begin to imagine that kind of bullshit celebs like Ari face.

Ghostin is perfection.
She’s such a sweety, don’t know how anyone could be mean to her.

I'm looking forward to hearing her on "What Is This Feeling," "Popular," and "Thank Goodness."
Though I can't help but wonder whether she's going to adopt a voice to be more like Chenoweth or if she's just going to sing and speak in her normal voice.

the scrapped music video for "pov" leaked.
I can see why she might not have been satisfied with the product, if this was the final version they arrived at before tossing it.
it is on YouTube for now:

It feels like some of those shots are repeated, so that may not have been like a final-final edit; but it doesn't seem like the concept was 100% ironed out so I feel like they may have gotten like 75-80% of the way there and decided it wasn't quite clicking and that's why the video was scrapped.

The music video was simple but cute and Ariana looked beautiful in it, especially in that green dress. Tbh, I feel like that video worked perfectly for pov and I’m surprised they never released it since it was already filmed/paid for.

She looked great in the green dress, especially her hair! It's kind of funny that this video has a similar aesthetic to Don't Be Gone Too Long, another scrapped and leaked music video

A bunch of recordings sessions seem to be making their way onto YouTube. So far I have seen Positions and No Tears Left To Cry. It's weird hearing some of the alternative lyrics

Why am I not the least surprised? I know she was photographed without her ring recently, but homegirl really just seems to be in love with the concept of love itself. She's not the only one. Hey, at least she made it to the altar!

Not trying to be mean but I expected them to divorce the second they announced their marriage tbh.

she deleted their wedding photo from her Instagram a while ago, and there were talks of Ariana being in the UK full-time while Dalton lives and works in Los Angeles putting a strain on their relationship.
I'm also camp "I'm surprised they even lasted this long"

Sad to see they broke up but I’m not surprised either.
I hate to be the one to comment on celebrity relationships, but Ariana moves a bit too fast with relationships which usually ends up being a red flag for longevity.
