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:
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....
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.
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!

@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... 😐
"Rip tiny charcoal grill. Miss you man." 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

In the end, the stupid song is “my favorite things”🙄

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 😂😂
