[@prievante2665]

nah agreed

[@zkrhmn]

@@mmmsel I agree but the main thing atm is that she's a big name on a big label that has the ability and star power to bring in huge numbers, in terms of ppl and sales. Because of that unfortunately I think her bosses will be keen to keep her where the money is, pop with rap/r&b etc. There's so many lanes and duets she could pursue on the r&b side though, Ro James, Jorja Smith, Kyle Dion, SZA etc etc.

[@mmmsel]

@@zkrhmn i like the way you think with those collabs & i think you're right. she said it herself that her last 2 albums (which were more pop) didn't really feel like her. her fave songs out of them are all the ones w/ r&b vibes bc she grew up with those sounds & loves to make more r&b music & when she's performing those pop songs she feels rather empty instead of really feeling the song & that's why sweetener is her most personal project so far. i hope we'll eventually be able to listen to a full r&b album by her in the future after her label & herself are confident enough to record & release it.

No disrespect but it's in no way ballsy for someone with such a wide vocal range to cover a song by someone with a more limited one. It's quite the opposite.

[@maxbeadnell5894]

Jamil Thats not the reason its ballsy. It's is because she is signed to a large label and she is required to maintain a certain persona for her fans. If a die hard Ariana fan payed to go and see her, they expect to see her perform the music they want to here. I doubt they would appreciate this as much. I wouldn't be surprised if she received push back from her managers when she asked to perform this song. after all they are the ones in charge of her.

[@JMiliam]

@Junya I see that lmfao, seemed like they had to have the keyboardist play the part. @Max Except it's exactly the opposite. When you're such a big artist, you have so much more room to work with than other artists. I'm pretty sure these performances are within a closed studio so it's not like she was doing anything on her fan's dollar. I'm also pretty sure these BBC performances are supposed to all be covers as all the performances I've seen here have been covers (gambino, tame impala, etc). It's also nobody's place to say how much control she has over her own career, especially to say anyone is "in charge of her". There's no such thing as push back from managers as they MANAGE, they don't dictate. They can disagree with something you want to do but they're not her parents and she's not on nickelodeon anymore. It's commendable for her to perform a song by Thundercat, that's for certain, but to call it ballsy is a serious stretch. She's a grown ass adult that can make her own decisions. Shit, she can Britney Spears her way out of her position if she really wanted to. Ballsy would be her performing a Luther Vandross song or something else that's actually outside of her comfort zone.

Might be that she's super hot

[@onemillionpercent]

Jonathan Graber not to everyone lmao, but she’s def beautiful to me ❣️

[@unclefreddie1589]

Nice cover of a GREAT song by Thundercat. And shoutout to the ISLEY BROTHERS for those Footsteps in the Dark drums.

[@amirpalamar7133]

This is one of my new favorite covers ever, she needs to make an album like this!

[@brynleighfaith2215]

this is one of my favorite songs ever. im so happy she did this.

[@MrSteviethegreat]

mine too! she did a great job. if only she had thundercat playing for her. because he's the only person that I've heard that really plays the bass the way he does.

[@elenaramirez2270]

She is vocally genius,,,yall sleep on her

[@jahlisaalper822]

PERIOD

[@danielazuniga2415]

Shes one of the most famous singers in the world, I don’t think she’s slept on

[@cv267]

@@danielazuniga2415 yep but most people don't appreciate her vocal capability.

[@maddy7871]

Nobody sleeps on Ariana Grande she’s been one of the most relevant artists since My Everything so shut up

[@eternallymeowin]

@@danielazuniga2415 yes she is 💀 she’s know as a basic pop girlie, nothing else

[@emmadodel]

she's amazing. every cover she does is beyond good

[@Koogai]

Wow she sounds absolutely amazing with the r&b and jazz production. Hopefully this opens the floodgates for her and Thundercat to do some collaboration or at least direct some of the instrumentals

[@NeglectedField]

My respect for Ariana Grande has gone up ever so slightly because of this

[@verywell279]

Listen to the song she did with Andrea Bocelli

[@TheGreatTomDix]

Whole band is killing it!

[@tempest957]

Ariana is getting better by the minute! Such a professional complex sound!

Good LAWDY that was dope 😳🔥

Oh my, I remember Allison's name from when I watched American Idol. I only watched AI from seasons 7-11. Is she with BBC or with Ariana doing these sessions?

How is it possible that Ariana sounds so good live?! Like What!!

[@nicolealfonseca6659]

[@daviddacus8168]

ScarlettP she is a good singer maybe who knows

[@KingBlonde]

Because believe it or not, people can sing without autotune. Not to sound like an elitist, but many sung wonderfully before autotune, and many can sing after it. It's not like people have forgotten how to sing lol.

[@ilovethis00]

R A T C H E T Hmmm these days, not a lot of singers in Pop music knows actually how to sing very well without autotune or any studio effects.

[@Goreny.]

See, I'm not too big on today's music artists, and I could never really say I was a fan of Ariana Grande but this was absolutely Phenomenal. 😭😭😭😭

[@FemmeThugJ]

ok ariana.. this deserves a round of applause, i wish she would sing some R&B too.. it suits her.

[@villanelles_suit7271]

I’m so happy she covered this song!!!

[@bigearsinc.7201]

Its sad how many limits they put on Ariana Grande's voice in alot of her pop music. Her voice is killer, and it sounds especially good when she annunciates

[@nataliaa4255]

This was one of Mac’s favourite songs by thundercat ✨🖤

[@flouserschird]

It’s the only song anybody knows from Thundercat lmao

[@Bellavista26]

Im glad people ik were checkin out his new album when it dropped, it's got some of his best work to date ✨

[@_bakeneko_2370]

Waiting on her death metal and Mexican ranchero album

[@TheBamaPrinceable]

This the kind of music girl should have been releasing this whole time! Her voice is tailored for R&B, not that generic, cookie-cutter pop that blends her in with everyone else.

[@chewbleu]

listen to positions and sweetener

[@chewbleu]

@storiengo who said they are i just said those 2 cause those are her more r&b ish albums and they said her voice is tailored for r&b

[@oddysee209]

Okay i have respect for her!!!suprised the hell outta me seeing she covered thundercat!!!!she switched the order of some of the bars in the last verse but did great none the less!

she did her thing on this !!!!!!!!!!!

[@shelistens4089]

What an insanely good song and amazing voice to cover it...... Like??? WOW. I keep coming BACK time and time again. YES!!!

[@user-ty7ox9rp9c]

Damn I legit got tears from listening to her singing this, her voice fits every song😯😯😯. I love when she sings with so many soul runs meaning she does the Stevie wonder method which gives the cover so much style to it🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@RickyLandi]

The band makes it bigger than big: great solid and energic funk jazz fills (key player and drummer are a world apart). They’re so good they even make her singing at the top.

[@Bramslootmans]

I did totally not expect it to be this good. JEEEEEZZ

[@ivanooze6611]

Thundercat said this was one of mac millers favorite songs. he would stand on the side stage during his shows and go nuts during this one specifically. no wonder ariana thought to cover it

[@rcmast3rtract0rking]

How am I only just hearing this, one of my favourite songs of all time and she did an amazing job of it

[@harjuhubba]

This should have more views. What a sick cover. SLEPT ON

[@sparksflylove]

She is slaying the game recently. This year is HER year!

[@jenkyvids]

every year is her year

[@iceprincess1869]

jenky nope.

[@jenkyvids]

She releases an album every two years (excluding Yours Truly), a good few of the songs from that album top the charts for weeks upon end, then spends the following year touring and releasing singles which also keep her relevancy as the main focus of the music industry. This has been going on since Yours Truly. In what sense has every year not her year?

[@Iionsong]

jenky Don't forget about The Queen sis :( I agree though, Ariana is always on the Billboard

[@AGEE_95]

yup
