To think Ariana Grande is the best female vocalist there is atm?

[Summerhaven]

.....along with Mariah Carey, Beyonce and a few others obviously!

Every time I hear her sing live my mind is blown! I’ve just seen the live version of ‘Save your tears’ that she did with The Weekend last week... I LOVE The Weekend, have done for years but when she comes on, he may as well not even be there (IMO) talk about stealing the show... m.youtube.com/watch?v=s37x2VSZrLw

I also love her live lounge of God Is A Woman m.youtube.com/watch?v=UTtABhxErvw

I don’t know, maybe I need to get out more but I struggle to get that excited about other female artists atm because I just find their voices so weak and meh compared to hers

I think it’s a shame you don’t really get to hear her full talent in a lot of her songs.

AIBU?

Not my sort of thing, she can hold a tune but that's it.

What do you mean by that? (Sorry if that sounds dim, I’m definitely no music connoisseur ) I just think she has the voice of an angel, she’s a tiny little thing yet can seriously belt out a tube.

I guess I just find the likes of Dua Lipa etc a bit droney and weak in comparison

No so nasal. Lovely woman, but I struggle to make out what she's singing most of the time.

I don’t find the tone of her voice very appealing
I remember the song Bang Bang with her and Jessie J and Jessie is in a whole other class

I think she appeals to the younger generation.
She is a good singer obviously, very manufactured. Lady Gaga is my favourite female artist.

She’s good but too nasal for me too. I love the tone of Abel’s voice.

Nah, very nasal.

Lady Gaga is a much better vocalist. Miley Cyrus even. Of course there are many more.

I must say I do like a lot of Ariana's songs, but I prefer both Dua Lipa and Mabel as artists. Their songs are just more catchy and upbeat imho.

But I do agree that Ariana's voice is strong and powerful a la Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston style 👍🏼

I agree she has amazing vocal talent. Have you heard her impressions of Whitney, Christina & Mariah?

I don’t think her music does her justice.

See, I think I’m going to have to listen to some Gaga live, personally I can’t stand her music, for me it just feels very.....nothingy but I appreciate she may be a bit more powerful live...off to YouTube!

She's an amazing singer!

I went to her concert - the Manchester one , she was phenomenal.

I find it difficult to see past the fact that she looks much younger than she actually is. Which doesn't sit comfortably with me when she's not wearing very many clothes and singing about sex.

I also can't work out if her hair is real or just a clip on ponytail.

Ohhhh, Christina Aguilera, HOW could I have forgotten her?! She is AMAZING!! But she doesn’t seem to release anything anymore? At least we don’t get to hear it in the U.K. anyway Otherwise she would’ve featured in the OP too!

I actually think Arianna Grande is so overrated. And to compare her vocal abilities to Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston is just laughable. She is nowhere near that league.

Not my taste- sorry.

Christina Aguilera is phenomenal, absolutely one of the best of the best. I hope we hear from her again.

Btw, I don't actually think she is THE best but she is very talented.

She's got an amazing voice but I prefer a belter. Pink, Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, Jessie J, Debbie Harry.

I think Miley Cyrus is a much better singer. I think it's a shame she feels the need to do all of the crazy attention seeking because she has enough talent to stand without it.

Can’t stand her. Think she has a horrible voice & totally overrated, along with Beyoncé whose songs I hate - every single one of them! Only successful cos she looks good & married Jay Z

She wears extensions due to her hair being damaged from all the bleaching and dying that she had to do to it for when she was Cat in Victorious (so I've read anyway).

Same as others she is hard to understand in a lot of her songs. Her diction is terrible

Saying that Break Free and One Last Time are pretty decent pop songs

Saw Christina Aguilara live couple of years ago. Hour late on stage and very average performance. Was so disappointed.
I do think Pink is very underrated. Amazing live vocals (often hanging upside down!)

Beyoncé was well famous waaay before she married Jay Z!!! 😂

No. She's a diluted Kylie. Can hold a tune but nothing special, and can learn basic choreography, although Kylie does both better. Talented at being a pop star rather than being a talented vocalist. Hence why they are good pop stars, anyone able to vaguely sing can singalong to her.

Not my type of music, but I like Pink and Fergie. Beth Ditto rocks in every way if I had to choose a favourite female vocalist. Amy Winehouse too obviously.
