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?

Great pop artist, but terrible diction and sounds like she has a perma cold.

@Summerhaven watch her do Shallow live at the oscars

I love Miley's voice. Her doing Jolene in her backyard seasons is unreal.

The vocal fry and waily up and down oh-oh-oh-oh are such cliches now.

Now, much more important: what on earth is the point in the audience wearing masks whilst shout-singing in a confined space?

This is astonishing:

@Oldpeoplesprinting

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

Hahaha

Are you the same poster that posted a few months ago that Adele is the best singer in the world and no one can be or has ever been better than her?

AG is only successful due to her appropriation of black culture. Look at how she has changed over the years.

Due to having a teenager daughter I've seen quite a few pop stars live over the last few years. I’m afraid Arianna was by far the worst. She sings like she has a mouthful of marbles & you couldn’t understand a single word she was singing. I also found it to be horribly shrill.

I think she’s definitely talented, but not really my taste. P!nk, on the other hand, I think is bloody amazing.

YABU

I like AG but that duet with the Weeknd I agree is phenomenal. They sound amazing together and absolutely brilliant live.

Can't believe someone said she is a diluted version of Kylie. Kylie has catchy songs but hasn't been able to sing live decently for decades.

@Womencanlift

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

Agree her diction is awful, she needs to work on that but I watched a video if her on YouTube where she admits this herself.

I can't listen to One Last Time at all now, it got ruined for me by the fact that I was driving to work one morning with the radio on and the presenters were cracking up at the line "I know I shouldn't have thought it" or something as it sounds like she says "I know I shouldn't have farted". They kept playing that line over and over again and I found it very difficult to drive as I was pissing myself 😂

I agree with you - she's amazing and can outperform or at least match all of the people that I've seen her do impressions of on SNL.

She has so much power in her voice and fantastic technique. I agree that she can be difficult to understand but I think she's bilingual and whoever really knows the lyrics to things until you look it up!

No way can you compare her to Kylie! That's very funny whoever said that. But Kylie is a fab performer.

I find that she isn't very articulate, can't understand a word she sings!

Don’t like her voice

WH and MC are great!

She sounds like she needs to give her nose a good blow

As for female vocalists, karen carpenter is my fave. Pink is amazing but I have to say Perrie Edwards is up there with Celine Dion. She is phenomenal.

So many amazing female singers out there but one I would put above many others is Jennifer Hudson.

Great voice but awful diction. Needs to learn to stick with one note for more than a microsecond.

Lady Gaga is immense. Pink also.

There's a whole load of less big name female artists with astonishing voices. I absolutely adore artists like This:

I've seen Lady Gaga love and she's absolutely phenomenal

She’s sweet etc, but her voice is nothing special at all

@Josette77 I love that backyard sessions video, she's amazing

She's no Karen Carpenter that's for sure.

I think she's really average.
