She is really the popstar queen of this generation. She can belt, whistle, and run riffs. She can sing a soul, jazz, pop, trap, RNB, hiphop, broadway, classic, alternative such things. She is so talented, sweet, and humble. People hate her because she has all the skills. I love her. No one can deny it.
@cartoonmaster2401 3 роки тому
She has potential, but there's more genres she can explore, like going REAL old school. Like OLD, OLD School. She's done jazz, but does she know Swing? It's back, 100 years later in the 2020's (even though swing was born in 1930, not 1920.) it's called ElectroSwing (Electronic/Pop+Swing). Let's see Ariana tackle that...

i know she did. cause aretha and ariana were in touch since both performing at the soul event at the white house. actually, aretha planned on doing a song collaboration with ariana cause ariana was her favorite artist of the new generation. aretha was and will continue to be ariana's inspiration/idol so she would do anything to make her proud ♡
@forevergirI 5 років тому
plus ariana was on the show because her new album 'sweetener' is coming out tonight but she chose to tribute aretha instead of promoting one of her own new songs. that shows her pure heart and soul, just like aretha ♡ she will be missed.
