finally, somebody who listens to the music not the media. you're insights are so amazing

[@HegeOfficial]

Aw thank you so much 🥰

[@giorgiomariadelucia8914]

You definitely need to react to "imperfect for you" from the same night. The tone is impeccable!!!

[@HegeOfficial]

I filmed it the same day ☺️ it's coming! And yessss 🤍

[@giorgiomariadelucia8914]

@@HegeOfficial omg can't wait!!!! Love love love your reviews 💗💗💗

[@HegeOfficial]

@@giorgiomariadelucia8914 Aw, thank you so much 🥰 !! So happy you like them!

[@caloiboi]

Can't imagine having to sing this live knowing it's based on bits & pieces of your life. I can feel your frustration when you were explaining how people are jist getting her business. Thought I wouldn't cry over this anymore, having listened to the song on loop since it came out. Just gone through a breakup myself & this song heals & hurts at the same time. Anyway, always enjoyed your reactions to my faves so thank you.

[@HegeOfficial]

I'm so sorry you've gone through that recently, and I wish you all the healing, whatever that looks like to you ❤️ And thank you ❤️

[@puppybandana]

nah you did not miss at all with this reaction!! loved it. Also totally agree, this woman has still done countless countless good things as well, not sure why people seem to jump at the woman bc of who she is involved with romantically, regardless whether the homewrecking accusations are true or false, it's never been and never will be anyone's business but theirs (also an accusation that will very likely never be proven true or false anyways) But I am a big fan of her, and her incredible talent for singing & songwriting 💕 this album was one of, if not THE best work she's ever made, every track so unique yet still so inspired by older generations of music, amazing.

[@HegeOfficial]

Aaw thank you!! 🥰 and fully agree - it's nobody's business and we'll never know the full story so what's the point? Let's appreciate the art.

[@KevinPlaysGuitar]

This is such a wonderful performance! I love how they have the animations in the background. So creative! Her vocals never disappoint me. Always so great! Great reaction as always! I'm glad you were able to find a live performance. 💙💙💙

[@HegeOfficial]

Right? The set is so cool and her vocals never disappoint 🤍! Thank you so much 🩵🩵🩵

[@furrycheetah]

This song sang by Ariana Grande is very personal. Her song is now popular to be sang not just among music fans but also among celebrities as well.

[@madawade]

The thicker lower notes are strongly reminiscent of Whitney Houston to me-especially on the ascending runs at the end of some of her phrases. It was part of Whitney’s signature sound. I was happy to hear it.

[@Swimdeep]

Ari is very talented. Thanks for your passion about music. 🩵

[@HegeOfficial]

She is ☺️ Thank you so much for watching 🩵🩵!!

[@williamamaral5003]

não é impressão sua que não percebeu esse tom mais sombrio nas versões de estúdio, ela estava soando muito mais clara e brilhante, já no ao vivo, ela decidiu voltar a usar um tom mais sombrio e com mais espaço, eu amo tanto, sentia falta desse tom😭

[@natsuplay8808]

thanks you for your wonderful reaction i would say i had some special moment hearing this masterpiece i cant wait to see you react to imperfection💙

[@HegeOfficial]

Thank you so much for watching! 🩵

[@Amy_Mb]

Love love your review❤ you should definitely react to the music video and the whole album

[@HegeOfficial]

Thank you so much! 🩵 Since I've already heard the album I can't really react to it, but I could review it if that'd be interesting ☺️ Anything she performs live I'll react to tho!

[@sundaybaby4510]

Love your react❤

[@HegeOfficial]

Thank you so much ❤️ appreciate you watching!

[@raphbtc8699]

🩵 loved that analysis and loved that performance, we can hear the feelings in her voice! We can hear the influence from Dancing on my own from Robyn and the beginning sounds a little like Clean from Taylor Swift but thats cause Max Martin co wrote all three songs But Ariana brought so much emotion to that song she made me cry

[@HegeOfficial]

THAT'S what it is! Omg I love Robyn and I love that song and have performed it myself, but not connected the dots 😅! Thank you! ❤️

[@HegeOfficial]

And I'm so glad you liked the video 🩵🙏

[@lilachodan4941]

8:25 No totally low notes for me. I wanted her to sing them for so long. Dreamt about it

[@HegeOfficial]

Loooooooove her lower register 🩵 Her tone is divine

[@RobustArid379]

I bought her new album

[@lilachodan4941]

14:47 I just can't decide. It is more real and like naked in sense of emotions and storytelling. You feel connected to her more. But positions is such a jam. I could just have a better mood thanks to it. It was like an escape. This is the confrontation with emotions so it is not an escape it is melancholic and it made me sad. But it is beautiful. So I am willing to choose positions because as I said it makes you feel better after a long day when you tired of work and emotions and demons. 💙

[@HegeOfficial]

I actually wanted to edit that out cause I'm not sure I stand for it, hahaha! I looove this album and it's all fresh, and I love the concept and red thread through it all. But Positions was a DREAM of an album in so many ways 🤍 so.. ahh. They're both amazing!

[@furrycheetah]

Ariana Grande song is very exciting and fun to hear especially her storytelling to her audience. She never say bad things about other people in front of the media or behind the media as well.

[@mahfiyusuf676]

Love this reaction

[@HegeOfficial]

I'm so glad to hear ☺️❤️ Thank you!

[@thenarukamii]

wow. you summed that up perfectly , “ if your doctor did something similar in their personal life would you care?“. i think the resounding answer is no, you can think its weird but i don’t think it has anything to do with any of us . its personal stuff, and anyone of any other profession would never have to deal with this type of criticism. what happened to letting people be human 😭. great videos as always

[@HegeOfficial]

Aw, thank you so much

[@lilachodan4941]

2:04 and she has first time sang in front of an audience since 2019

[@alamghirmiah9169]

She performed with the weekend in 2021 save your tears.

[@HegeOfficial]

And on the voice ☺️ I just can't believe it's been almost 4 years since Positions already.

[@BADricki23]

U looked so disappointed in the thumbnail and you ended up being in love with it I'm confused😭but this is an amazing song, Ari is good! Some people dare to say she has lost her voice while she can still sing like this!

[@HegeOfficial]

Hahahah I truly don't think Ariana's vocals could ever disappoint me 🩵 And they can talk but her voice seems very much present to me 😄 Appreciate you watching!

[@rogeraca]

💙

[@andrecanella]

she looks like billie eilish 😍

[@HegeOfficial]

Wait, you think Ariana does or that I do? If you mean me then thank you haha ☺️ 🫶

[@andrecanella]

@@HegeOfficial Definitely you! Has anyone ever told you that? You look a lot like her, but with a beauty that is unique at the same time

[@fuerchtnix1]

💛🧡❤💖

[@ButeraMelina]

9:20 When I watched and listend the performance I noticed that the 2 head voices seemed to be lip-synced!🎙

[@HegeOfficial]

Oh, I didn't notice ☺️ We know she's able to do them live, but it's not uncommon to use stems on TV-shows for that guaranteed perfection, so that could very well be right of course. I'd have to double-check to give my opinion on it tho ☺️.

[@ButeraMelina]

@@HegeOfficial Yeah, she was probably nervous and/or emotional, so maybe that's why they went for the lip-syncing (if those notes are lip-synceyd). 😊

[@mohammedbenhammou3901]

No they are not lip syncing it’s definitely live , if the 2 head voices are lip synced why the first sound like the 2 nd

[@Fr0zenPeanut]

Yes, the two lines of the bridge with head voice runs on "me" are lipped. If you listen to the entire performance with headphones you'll hear the volume on those parts is a bit too low and her tone is more light and chipmunkish only for those two lines, just like how she sang it in the studio version, while she sings the rest of the song with a deeper tone. The camera zooming out also basically confirms it.

[@mohammedbenhammou3901]

@@Fr0zenPeanut she can chage her tone she has a great technique to switch byw registers , if u hear imperfect for u performance her tone there is clean and smoth than 2 in wcbf . I believe the performance is a whole live .but i respect ur opinion ❤️❤️🙏

[@JakeHansenMusic1996]

🩵

[@VickyG212]

The 'know that you made me' seems lip synced to me (it seems identical to the studio version and different sound to the rest of the song live). She clearly can sing them, maybe she had a tough day for her head voice.

[@michelangelo2927]

You don’t know her private life.

[@HegeOfficial]

I'm very aware, and neither do you, hence my point in the video. Not sure why you're commenting as if I said anything else.

[@Ricky48888]

The show is called Saturday night LIVE. That means live performances.

[@flaqqo11]

Thanks for your comment I can die now 😑😑😑😑

[@HegeOfficial]

I edited out me using the same point in the video, cause people have indeed used stems on SNL too ☺️
