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?

I’ve just typed Lady Gaga live into google and watched the first video that came up, it was this from 2016 m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8lUW9SKquY

Like yes, she can clearly sing, but fuck me it’s boring and she sounds like a cruise ship singer or something (IMO) it’s a shite song too.

I think she’s so overrated, but then I always have, that’s totally irrespective of AG.

@Summerhaven

Alicia Keys I love too!! Forgot about her and yes to Jennifer Hudson.

Sorry guys but Pink and Lady Gaga just irritate the shit out of me, same as Miley Cyrus. I don’t rate any of their voices particularly highly and they’re all just so ‘look at me, aren’t I badass/ crazy’ No, you’re a knob.

Having spent time with Gaga several times now she’s definitely not that way off stage.

She’s amazing but Gaga is the best there is at the minute. Miles Cyrus is also amazing

@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

You and me. Outside.

Also saw Pink live and thought she was shit- very disappointed because I loved her

I worked with her and she has an amazing voice but I have to say I agree with the Jesse J comment so under rated I worked with Her to and she was phenomenal!

Pink just bores me in the sense that she had a long run of singles just singing about how men are a fucking nightmare.

I mean, they are, but she went on a bit

The 76% saying YABU have zero idea and decent ears if they believe AG is a bad singer lol

Yes lots of other wonderful singers named on this thread already but AG is hugely talented in terms of Right Now...which is clearly stated in the OPs title.

Have you heard her do whitney Houston, celine Dion, britney spears etc on a kids comedy show? She does their exact voices, shes fab! You might not like her music but that shouldn't mean you say she cant sing or is to nasal

76% aren’t saying she’s a bad singer, just not the absolute best singer around right now. We are allowed to like different artists more.

She sounds like she’s congested

The 76% saying YABU have zero idea and decent ears if they believe AG is a bad singer lol
Because you say so.
Have you RTFT? 76% didn't see she was a bad singer, 76% disagreed she is the best female vocalist.
She's not and has a nasal voice IMO.
Gaga was far better in rain on me.
I'm glad AG has dropped the babyish act.

I can't stand Mariah Carey her personality overrides any talent for me.

I cannot understand a word of what she sings 🤷🏽‍♀️

AG - I have to turn off/switch to something else if she comes on the radio - her voice is far too nasally for me.

Miley on the other hand, I have a bit of a thing for - gives me goosebumps when she sings.

with Noah Cyrus 2017 Wrecking Ball live

I’m not a fan of pop and can’t say I’ve ever noticed anything special about AG. I did see KD Lang in concert a few years ago and her voice brought me to tears - and I’m not the crying type.

Not just at the moment, but easily the best of all time. There’s no voice quite so brilliant.

I’m a huge fan of Tulisa (obviously), and even I have to admit that her sterling work with N Dubz has been thoroughly overshadowed by my ears when I hear Ariana.

I really like what Ariana did with that donut one time time too.

Jessie J on the other hand - from the very beginning, an obvious Illuminati puppet. Just watch the price tag video and the amount of symbolism.

And before any one accuses me of conspiracy theory, don’t. I’m totally ok with the Illuminati. I think they do some great work.

Ariana is far more boring than Lady Gaga in my book OP.

She's too nasal, has terrible diction and her songs are dull.

Miley Cyrus for me.. when she's not being OTT her voice is just incredible (YES to the backyard sessions) and gives me goosebumps.

I love Pink too, followed by Christina Aguilera .

@Oldpeoplesprinting No way. I appreciate you might not like her music, each to their own and all that. But she works her arse off by all accounts. I've seen her live three times and she is phenomenal live. I don't know how she dances so vigorously and still songs live so well, it's pretty impressive to see/hear. If anything, I think Jay Z has benefited more from their relationship, career wise, and I say that as a fan of his too.

I'm not sure if it's been said, but I saw her on some American chat show clip, (maybe jimmy Kimmel or something) and she was amazing when he asked her to impersonate Christina Aguilera, Britney etc. So she obviously has a great voice! I don't know any of her songs off hand, but maybe from adverts or something.
IMO Pink!, Christina Aguilera, Alicia keys at al, are the best from our era. Not my music preference but they're amazing!

@cakebythepound1234 yes definitely Beyonce too!

Pink is the worst. Horrible vocals and an obscenely obvious fame seeker. Totally unseemly.

But ‘Just like a Pill’ was a good song admittedly. Anything that alludes to popping an E is alright by me.

Also, huge fan of frankie grande, her brother. He was brilliant on BIg Brother USA

I will never understand why the women that are often lauded as the best singers are often the warbly women that feel the need to use multiple notes when one done well would be so much more pleasant to listen to.

Mariah and Whitney were the worst, but Ariana seems to be imitating that and no song has ever been improved by that nonsense, imo. So many singers already mentioned are much better to listen to. In my opinion of course.

Here's another
