Ariana Grande

I must admit my weakness for a select few of female pop vocalists. A while back I admited my Jewel soft spot. I think the origins are when I was a child listening to Whitney Houston on the radio and totally breaking down for no reason at all. Anyway a few years back my kids were watching some crap kids show on Nickelodean and I saw this annoying teen red head air head girl start singing like a freakin angel. Embarrassing to admit I memorized her name from the credits for future reference. Just checked it out by chance and seems she is doing well for herself:

Yes yes, the teen girl in me is coming out again:

Pobrecita... poor thing must be SO devastated. It's just ridiculous that the target be 11 year old girls, and perhaps the random sissy flamenco guitarist who might be her fan....

Time to bring back the crusades.

RE: Ariana Grande (in reply to Ricardo)

actually ariana is an extremely talented singer - if not THE most talented singer in her generation - so I kinda don't mind her being that sweet barbie doll character.

EDIT: this 80s remix of one of her songs is really good:

"and I know, and I know, and I know" - I've noticed these kinds of repetitions have become really common in pop songs. For some reason, they really sound nice to me, but I can't really say why.

@ jalalkun - Ole!! Love the perm! She's looking good for her age hey.

@ JasonM -

@ Ricardo (& Rui

) You got me listening to her first album, and after 10 seconds of it I got reminded of this video

Being decidedly overly sentimental for an ex-metaller I always thought this one had something...

But of all the ladies in pop, this one gives me the biggest goose-bums

Does that remix fit into what they call Vaporwave? I still don't really get how that genre is defined.
This week I heard this remix, which I found pretty funny (some people really have too much free time on their hands): Anyways, I'm off topic again...
Ariana sure can sing!

RE: Ariana Grande (in reply to Ricardo)

@goat: she's held herself pretty well right? 😂😂

@piwin: not quite, that's just an 80s remix I'd say. I had to look it up again tp be honest 😅 vaporwave is rather a movement against copyright claims and uses e. g. shopping market music, operating system and software sounds from the 80s and 90s (like macintosh, windows, AOL etc), songs from the 80s slowed down to the point where they become psychedelic to listen to.
btw that katy perry mashup is disturbing in a way... 😐

los mellis doing palmas and los coro....Brutal!!!

The album is growing on me. I'm not approaching with flamenco purism, but as pop music.

Coro is fuera compas every other time by one beat, but nice auto tune there.

Well at least it wasn’t a back tattoo of Nixon.

Good to see she has a sense of humor.

Jalal, your right Wikipedia says “seven wheels”. This whole getting a tattoo in Chinese or Japanese is risky business. Never know what it might really mean

I'm surprised Jools Holland didn't pop in and try to turn it into a big band RnB set.

yeah, "rin" can mean wheel, ring, anything round with a hole in it. kinda sounds wrong lol...there's for example this book called "Gōrin no Shō", which is translated as "Book of Five Rings".
imagine having a tattoo that just says plain "WATER", wouldn't look as cool as the chinese word 😂😂
