The Ariana Grande one is actually mind blowing. I just realized I didn't understand either haha

[@lucthenerd]

I'm shocked that this is an unpopular opinion. I thought it would've been an agreed fact that this wonderful singer has among the worst what, enunciation? I'd like to think of myself as pretty fluent in English despite it being a foreign language, but for the life of me I can't catch most of her lyrics.

Benedict saying he likes the smell of petrol makes me smile since I thought I was one of the few people who feels the same. Also, his voice is everything.

[@dimbulb2959]

This is pretty common actually

[@MamadNobari]

There was actually a study done in 2019 and they found out that 83.6 percent of people in the U.S like the smell of petrol and even have the tendency to drink it.

[@1Chasg]

What are you on about this is a very common thing people associate with petrol.

This confirms it; I absolutely love Benedict Cumberbatch! He doesn’t act, he becomes the role. In interviews, the seems so very authentic. I saw “Multiverse of Madness “. He’s fantastic, once again, as Dr. Strange. If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and go ASAP!

Benedict Cumberbatch's voice is so deep and great for the Narrator storyteller and ASMR. It's relaxing and chilling. I can hear this all day. My favorite voice Actor. He can be nice horror storyteller and Sci-fi stuff like he did a TV Show Into the Universe With Stephen Hawking. It's my favorite. He was the voice actor for Stephen Hawking It blew my mind how the way he explained and delivered it so well. It's like he knows everything about the Universe. So intelligent. My favorite episode was Into The Universe With Stephen Hawking Time Travel. Sci-Fi stuff suits him best, And I always wanted him in Marvel Universe someone like Tony Stark level intelligent. Marvel did a great job by hiring him as Doctor Strange. It's full of sci-fi stuff like dimension, reality, multiverse, etc. Perfectly suits him. Can't wait to see more Doctor Strange I love both Doctor Strange movies. I want another space science, narrator, with him so bad.

She does that intentionally for a more distinct pop sound. When she sings musicals, her enunciation is perfect. Wish she would enunciate more in her pop stuff

[@mann7298]

she has said that she recognises her problem with enunciation. not sure if shes said that she tries to work on it lol. but i guess with musicals its not her own work so she puts more effort into making sure it sounds good, whereas with her own music, she makes it herself and is very hands on with the process so she can do what she wants and wont be butchering someone else's work, like with musicals.

[@sophielou2929]

[@lasangalli]

the thing with the way AG sings is also that she puts the accents on different part of the words to match the melody, kind how opera songs do. Even in that case if you speak Italian you still need to look up for the lyrics because the accents are messed up.
