Have I been living under a rock?

I honestly thought Ariana Grande was more Taylor Swift than Cardi B....

Jokes aside. She just didn’t strike me as one for profanities in her lyrics. I’m no prude but I would happily have let my 8 year old be a fan without thinking about checking out the lyrics first.

What's with the spate of threads about Ariana Grande? There's another long thread about AG being white, rather than whatever ethnicity the OP thought she was or presented as.

Is she not just an identikit teenybopper children's TV alumnus who got magically 'discovered' when some music moguls happened upon her Youtube videos?

It's when the 6 an 7 year old girl fans sing along and gyrate whilst wearing similar clothing/lack of it ......yuck

Thats up to the parents to police not some popstar.Who is old enough to do that.

I dont know why people hold popstars to be a role model.Thats not their job.

Some parents just really love criticising artists for being too explicit instead of actually bothering to look after their children and supervise what they are watching and listening to.

I thought everyone knew she is criticised for the sexy toddler shtick? I didn't coin that term.

It's the hairstyles, hair bands (I mean how many adults love that look), the confused facial expressions, the shrunken clothes. It doesn't mean looking physically looking like a toddler.

@Beeeees she's not a stranger to the surgeons knife, sure she has a boob job. Par for the course for female celebs.

Tbh the thing that offends me the most about AG is her shocking taste in footwear.

You’ve been living under a rock.

I watched The hunchback of Notredam with my son recently, I watched it a few times as a child, I didn’t realise until I watched it as an adult that the song Hellfire is about sex. You just don’t pick up on those things when you’re younger.

Beeeees · 13/11/2020 17:49

@peepercountry she’s mostly just had slight changes to her face. She always picks outfits to hide her bum, I’m actually quite impressed she’s not had a slim bbl (ie more caresha than cardi). Regardless, people will continue to criticise how she looks as she’s female. You can’t actually win this game.

Kylie is a petite female singer, arguably smaller than Ariana and yet she didn't ever style herself as a barely post pubescent nympho.

Ariana is simply a pawn for the burgeoning normalisation of paedophilia.

She is a very good actress - was great as Cat Valentine in Victorious. Used to like it when she went to see her nonna in Elderly Acres - a name we have used ever since in our house for care homes (affectionately).

Yeah its nothing new, she's always been pretty sexual.

I can't stand her but that's because her voice grates on me. I can't understand half of what she's saying. She needs to enunciate!

BorderlineHappy · 13/11/2020 18:26

Yeah its nothing new, she's always been pretty sexual.

Shes a 27 year old women shes allowed to be sexual @Iminaglasscaseofemotion.

Im sure you are not the same as you where at 15 as you are now.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 13/11/2020 19:07

@BorderlineHappy

Ffs, where did I say she couldn't? I couldn't give a shiney shite what she does or how she acts Confused

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 13/11/2020 19:09

Yeah you're right, I was probably having more sex at 15 than I am now at 30 with 2 kids and 7 months pregnant.
