Ariana Grande | Honeymoon Tour vs. Dangerous Woman Tour vs. Sweetener World Tour VOCAL BATTLE

a video I've absolutely wanted to make for a long time. finally sat down and hammered it out. this video compares the generally shared range between all three tours in three different sections - lower register, mixed register and upper register. I don't think this can fully be considered a vocal battle, rather than a "note" battle, as things like musicality, agility, and overall delivery are not explicitly on display. just keep that in mind while watching! (but that's also definitely a video worth making.)
the dope ass 7 rings remix used for the intro was made by BNDLESS Music and you can find it here: • 7 rings (BNDLSS Remix)...
hope you enjoy! 'twas quite fun to make and reminisce haha

The way Sweetener World Tour vocals are SUPERIOR. She jus keeps getting better and better.

[@moonlightfral7111]

Lows: SWT > DWT > HMT Belting/Mixed register: SWT > HMT/DWT Head Voice: SWT/HMT > DWT Agility: SWT > HMT > DWT Ease: HMT > SWT > DWT She clearly is in her vocal prime (And the winner is Ariana)

[@grandeflamesbutera3949]

Ariana has always been in her Vocal Prime because if her voice deterioated in 2016 or 2013 the Bb5 Belts/Mix would've never happened or the A5's or G#5's

[@paugavaldaperez9458]

Ease SWT

[@grandeflamesbutera3949]

david It was actually head voice 95% of the time on the SWT, HMT and DWT not Falsetto ❤️❤️❤️. She barely shows off Falsetto ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@deandrebajagimeno1000]

Her whistles are also utilized during the sweetener tour every night she does a show. She does the whistles for god is a woman.

[@arturoaguilar4774]

Butera wins 😒😒

[@Lucas-fp8br]

On the Honeymoon Tour, Ari's biggest vocal highlights were EASE and HIGH NOTES. And for me, the best timbre of all... Very clear, light In DWTour the highlights were for DARCK TONE and POWER. In my view, the last leg of the tour was where it stood out the most. Her vocals in Asia are AWESOME (the show in Hong Kong doesn't let me lie). And in the Sweetner Tour, without a doubt, what stood out was the TECHNIQUE. She managed to gather all the positives from previous tours and reproduce on SWT. And we can't forget WHISTLES!!! First tour that she uses the whistles, one of the best moments of the shows! Anyway... Ariana Grande, voice of the generation!

[@joanquintero4670]

1:05 the contrast is amazing, she gained soooo much weight down there without losing her ease at all.

[@ilovesteakandfries]

Ariana’s G4-B4 are golden in DWT, the tone she was going for really made the notes feel ‘weighty’ if that makes sense

[@ilovesteakandfries]

still so excellent across all tours regardless

[@filippobonato7179]

Can we please not determinate a winner? We can simply admire all of them under certain points and just appreciate that these tour happened when we were alive!

[@MrSkinnyJeanz3]

love that, very diplomatic 😭. essentially it’s supposed to be just a vocal comparison but “battle” just hits a bit more haha

[@joanquintero4670]

I'm in love with her lower register on the swt, it's full of tone and so good for a light lyric soprano

[@blakerbdll]

HMT: I like that kind of metallic and crisp tone in this era. Her ease in her belting range was INSANE. She's also very consistent in her falsetto usage like she literally breathes C6s. Her lows were kinda meh but it's there. DWT: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER FAKE DARK TONE IN THIS ERA! It really matches the overall style and concept of the tour. Also, there's an improvement in her lows here. F#3s are audible. She started to experiment more with her runs to cope up with her belting inconsistency. Falsetto was also kinda not there. Tulsa, Omaha, and the whole 3rd leg were the only shows where her falsetto blossomed again. SWT: TECHNIQUE AND CONSISTENCY FOR DAYS! Her musicality was the highlight of this tour. Note changes here and there. Her agility is also very ON POINT. I like the fact that even in the very first shows she had heen showing off and being very extra. It's kind of like the mixture of HMT and DWT but even better.

[@mistlehoe848]

12:11 this E5 HIT wow

[@syncere]

the sweetener tour definitely ate up the other 2 tours. and even tho she had more access to her falsetto in the HMT I still prefer to the thicker quality to her falsetto in the SWT. she really found her balance.

[@SamuelMay2059]

She has also learnt that while yes we love her high notes and high falsettos. She doesn't need to use them constantly otherwise she'll ruin her voice like after HMT

[@THEE.apples]

@@SamuelMay2059 it's very unlikely cause Ariana's technique is sustainable, giving her freedom vocally to do a bunch ad-libs.

[@SamuelMay2059]

@@THEE.apples It doesn't matter how good your technique is if you oversing and Ariana did during HMT, so it took her a bit of time to recover vocally.

[@grandeflamesbutera3949]

She has always been in her vocal prime. there is no sign of deterioation in her younger years despite popular belief because if her voice deterioated in her younger years she wouldn't be going for G#5's and beyond throughout her entire year

[@allthingspage1498]

@Rich Max McHalliwchester …. her support is the biggest in sweetener your is you crazy 😭

[@varunravi27]

For technique, DWT (consistent support: G#3-B4) was slightly better than HMT (consistent support: A3-Bb4)

[@javierfernandez6268]

You gave me such good memories with the honeymoon tour vocals, that everytime I comeback to your channel I feel so nostalgic 😊

[@keke6547]

Honestly you were such a huge part of the honeymoon tour being as iconic as it was no matter how delulu we was it was so fun OMG N THE VOCAL ARGUMENTS!!. SWT: has the precision,technique,ease, agility and emotion. her tone is girly but it definitely has a more womanly feel so I guess like a mixture of both previous tours absolutely loved seeing her so free and in control of every part of her voice. DWT: had a more soulful, dark yet captivating feel most people actually thought she was sad during the whole tour which I guess would be true for the later half of it. It was just so magical (especially tby). The tone was something I actually lived for. HMT: no matter what people say this tour is what made ariana the singer she is today she experimented so much with her voice and did absolutely the most on every tour date 😂 lmao but its what created a signature for her or "that's an ariana grande run" type moment. I love and adore this tour. Absolutely iconic

IN MY OPINION : LOWS : swt ( hmt was to airy and dwt was ok) Mid belts : swt=dwt High belts : swt for sure....hmt mixed upper range was light and kinda shouty and dwt was too chesty and shouty idk i prefer swt Falsetto : swt because she was consistent and confident and she regained her ease ( unlike dwt ) and she wasnt just hitting random high falsettos like hmt but i really like the hmt ones as well because she had ease and CONFIDENCE

[@arianamoonlight7grande551]

What a great video! I am so impressed by her technical improvements on the SWT. Proves that when she's relaxed she can produce gorgeous, well-supported C5s-E5s. We know she's capable of dropping that jaw properly and not raising her larynx so high so that she can do the F5s and beyond that we know are in there! (Also glad to see that HMT falsetto confidence coming back)

[@itslikesupernatural]

Yes the vocal glow up, but what about the LOOK glow up 😍😍 she has gotten better vocally

[@roccogrupillo2217]

lows: definitely swt. she improved drastically… her lows are more full and deep now. mid belts: her mid belts were so light yet so powerful and more resonant during the swt. high belts: again its swt. she gained so much confidence, power and support in her high belts. head voice/falsetto: i have to say honeymoon tour cause she was really going off with that runs and riffs and they were so easy for her even tho i like the tone she has right now more. ease: she had more ease during hmt for her high notes since her voice wasn’t mature. so hmt but for the lows it’s definitely swt. agility: her run and riffs are so clear now and that jaw movement is less compared to hmt. so its swt.

[@mrqs_jns]

This video literally makes me hate the videos people used to make talking ab support vs unsupported when most people’s understanding of “support” is really just pulling the chest voice into a range it’s not made for (any note above D5-E5) All her upper range notes are clearly “supported” (healthy, good for her voice, bright and free of strain). Her only “unsupported” notes were when the notes were strained (kind of metallic sounding), flat or when they disappeared. But her mix is legit perfect for her voice and style of singing.
