sweetener and thank u, next is the perfect contrast, there's a song for everyone
Agreed!
Xd25 lol During the Sweetener era I think Ariana was telling us that after all the things that she had been through she’s fine, but then after the realease of TUN it’s clear that she was not totally ok🥺💔 No wonder why the album sound so sad and depressing😔
Bokuto Deceased i thought sweetener was about being sad and all and TUN is acceptance and self growth
That’s so try my sister doesn’t like ari but when she heard 7 rings she rlly liked it and break up with your girlfriend
Bokuto Deceased it’s reversed thank u,next album is something like she’s over haters and now she’s doing her while on sweetener she’s upset and try’s to show she’s fine when she’s not
Ariana is always in the studio, she says music is therapeutic to her. I don’t believe she will get burned out. Instead of making music, she’s shifting to writing and producing for other artists. For example, Motivation by Normani, Ice Cream by BlackPink, and the Charlie’s Angels Soundtrack. She’s working on her 6th studio album, but it’s been said that she’s going into the R&B route which her voice fits.
Yesssss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i’m so excited for more rnb stuff n also for a tinashe collab hopefully loo
Ahhhhh finally R&B😭😭😭 you made me so happy, you just can’t imagine
Ahhhhh finally R&B😭😭😭 you made me so happy, you just can’t imagine
Yeah but of course her going into R&B is going to ruffle some sensitive feathers🤦🏽♀️🙄
"cUlTuRe aPpRoPriAtiOn"
She deserved to win a Grammy for her Thank U Next album. They cheated her so bad. Her songs were literally all over the radio and breaking records. The Grammys are so rigged I swear
When I saw Billie Eilish on the nominations I knew She would take everything
phoneymikey same! They give her all the awards but don’t give Lana Del Ray any and she’s the first to do the alternative pop sound and make it mainstream. I honestly don’t understand the hype around Billie
I like Billie and I’m not saying Billie shouldn’t have won 1 award, but like wtfff TUN deserved AOTY tho
@@trellio89 she barely sings she literally whispers
I've realized Grammys target someone who's either new or extremely overrated for a while .. basically someone who debuts and spread all across in nights. When Billie released the album "WWAFAWDWG" She basically blew herself up meaning for a while she was everywhere and she was kinda new so she won grammys. Now the same with Olivia Rodrigo she became really overrated and she won awards.
Ariana has said on many occasions that the studio is her happy place. Even when she finishes a record and people on her team say take a break, she still wants to go in the studio to write and create music. This is probably why she releases so many albums because she is constantly at the studio.
she has gosht writters she doesent writte her songs LOL
@Mariah&WhitneyLamb uhhhh her song "positions" is written by Nija and herself
Mariah&WhitneyLamb yeah thats why i said she has gosht writters. she has no writting skills and pretends she has
@@Max-uu6rv like gaga wbk
@@Max-uu6rv clearly she does if she wrote positions with one other writer stop being a obsessed rat
the way these albums are like a whole story is so great to me, it reminds me of taylor’s reputation and lover
What a great connection 😃 !!
more like lover and folklore
Chayen tbh, all of Taylor’s albums are all connected since she writes about her life
Yeah I’d say it’s basically what Taylor has been doing her whole career really.
But Ari definitely gave a specific unique perspective and talks about mental health issues in her songs. Like Breathin, Fake Smile, Ghostin, No Tears Left to Cry and others. I loved Dangerous Woman but Thank U, Next is her best album for sure. Even Billie acknowledged this when she won AOTY at the grammys over Ari.
@@andresbecerra1183 Taylor songs still better written tho and she write her all songs, not like some bublegum artist with 10 song writter lol
Yeah she’s taking time to herself
Her live album is called “k, bye for now”
She knows that she needed to heal through her music and now healing through taking time off
Yes but she's coming back new music really soon
Marija Navickaite no one knows that yet, her new music may come out next year
@@drewm.2790 Her album will come out next year, but new singles are coming this year. She already filmed music videos for nasty and my hair lol
@@marijanavickaite9123 omg how'd you find that out???
@@Lildeadthing420 I got a reliable source
Thank u next & Reputation deserved a grammy
Facts
my two favorite albums from my two favorite artists
Mrs.Grande was snubbed
spill
@@locdoc8766Tqs to Grammy committee and also Billie Ellish for not using her power of fame to correct the mistake made by them.
Breathin deserved the success of 7 rings imo
Uhm....facts!
If breathin was the second single instead of God is a woman, then I’m 100% sure it would’ve gone number 1
When I first heard it I was BLOWN AWAY as EVERYONE in the fandom, people REALLY claimed it so it doesn’t make sense that it didn’t get the success everyone expected.... I believe Breathin is the sweetener version of Into You in DW💔
Nico Sosa because thank u, overrated outshined it.
Tj Francis but didn’t Tun Came out a week later? I don’t remember at all...
In regards to the Manchester Bombing, that’s my theory as to why these two albums did so well was because of how the public was interested in how Ari would recover from a mass tragedy happening right in front of you. In a bizarre way, this tragedy was to Ari as Kanye was to Taylor Swift’s birth as a public figure began when Kanye did his whole “But Beyoncé had one of the best albums of all time” thing.
What a great observation! I totally agree!
I’ve always thought the same thing but I’ve never really said anything because the fans might attack me haha
Finally someone else thinks like me lol
Freya S I was at the bombing and yeah, she became more popular than she has ever been literally the day after and she’s managed to keep the same momentum going to this day. It’s a tragedy but it helped her career either way
Pop Dissected fearless (2008) was already best selling album of the year, spent 11 weeks on top of the chart blocking kanye beyonce and other big artists, selling millions upon millions in weeks, and becoming one of the 5 biggest billboard albums of all time. Taylor was outselling kanye even before that happened, and yes she got a lot of attention from it, but that is in no way responsible for her success.
sweetener was like nothing she had ever made before. it was a new era that showcased how much she has matured and evolved into the incredible woman she is today. i love these two albums with my whole heart.
that is so true.
she’s an ridiculously big name in the industry. the biggest artist that debuted after 2013 for a reason. she has been on top ever since her debut and shows no signs of slowing down. there’s no such thing as “over saturation” for her and she has proven that.
ariana has given us MASSIVE albums, MASSIVE eras, MASSIVE singles and so much more. she has impact, longevity and is the biggest female STREAMING giant to exist.
the amount of records, achievements, sales, streams, views, hits, charting power this woman has is insane. we haven’t seen such female force in music aside from rihanna, beyonce, taylor, adele, gaga and katy. that’s just facts.
my everything era, dangerous woman era and swt/tun era are some of the biggest of our time and that should say it all. the GP can’t get enough of ariana grande.
Well said! The next era will potentially break records
period. ✨🖤
Will G definitely
Period!
Will G that’s what I’m thinking. Everyone wants to know what she does next but she needs to take a break! So I’m assuming she’ll come out with album the last half of 2021!!
They were so successful because I think they are the best albums of her career. What a great one-two punch. I think all of her albums are pretty good, but those two stand out. Ariana got even better and made the best songs of her career. And it showed, in her sales, popularity and overall cultural impact.
Agreed!
Disagree
Sweetener is her worst album in my opinion,it's ruined mostly cuz of pharell
@@mrzimtiktok4797 imo sweetener is definitely her best,it’s different from the rest and has a vibe and feeling that no other album has ever given me.I think you need to go through a hard time to actually love and understand the album.
I might be wrong but I don’t believe Sweetener and thank u, next is Ari’s peak 😳 I think she has so much more to show and evolve!
I do agree, a bit. Ariana has such a quick release schedule, so it will be interesting to see what her next effort will be like; in terms of sound, tone and lyrics. She has evolved from her debut, so I'm curious to see if she is able to push the envelope further and expand more into new territory.
@@popdissected4400 she will!!! I think she said AG6 will be even more experimental than Sweetener!
@@edimsalvatella Yasss, I hope she don't work with pharrell, actually it has her best songs yet it also has her worst songs, so I hope that ariana will be mindful of what she's doing.
@@edimsalvatella I wish AG6 would be a pure balad and acoustic with simple production but quality material.
@@vanelui8084 ikr??!!!! hahahahhaha it's so weird!!!! I love sweetener tho
I think the bombing was a turning point in the world as everyone did come together and supported manchester. then everyone wanted to see how she would come back from it and she delivered and the GP ate it up. she definitely solidified herself in the music industry as the one of most dominant female of the late 2010s. She saw plenty of opportunities and she pounced upon them and it helped her catapult into stardom and she often tries to share that fame with her friends
I agree with all these except ...who are the friends she helped with?
@@kptoca Njomza, Troye Sivan, Nicki Minaj (just by supporting her and getting arianators to vet for her), Social house, Miley Cyrus on multiple occasions (she promoted her a lot) and most recently Victoria Monet who is blowing up rn
Dangerous Woman didn’t debut at #1 because Drake’s album “Views” blocked Ari from #1.
fr. dangerous woman is her best album.
Aadya Kumar Best and most iconic! I hope she brings more pop music to AG6! I loved her on Rain On Me so I think it’d go over well!
@@Nameless_mixes pop is dying.. i feel like she is gonna move into more r&b. i hope
ThizzzAnubis With how successful albums like Future Nostalgia, After Hours and Chromatica are performing, I’d hardly say that pop music is dying. All genres rise and fall in popularity. Early 2000s were hip hop/R&B, mid 2000s were rock, late 2000s were dance pop, early 2010s were electro pop, mid 2010s were EDM and late 2010s were hip hop/R&B more so on the trap side of things.
Based on a lot of recent songs, I have a feeling that we’re gonna continue seeing disco pop for a little while longer followed by a short burst of rock resurgence and then back to pop.
But to get to your point, Ariana’s always tried infusing R&B sounds into her music since Yours Truly. So there’s no doubt that those influences will be there, but it’s a matter of what the main genre she’ll go with that remains more of a mystery.
Yours Truly was bubblegum pop, My Everything was hip hop, Dangerous Woman was more so pure pop, Sweetener was experimental pop and Thank U, Next was mainly trap influenced. I’m gonna guess that her next album is going to be much happier with some alternative and R&B influences on the non-single tracks.
Brendan Neyman oh yeah definitely. it’s not fully gone yet, i just dont see the 2010-16 era progressing any further unless it’s mixed with some sort of other sound like disco cause ive been hearing that a lot recently doing good. i only say ariana to do r&b because there was a recent hit tweet about everyone saying ariana would be better in r&b.
ariana releases music when she wants to. its what heals her, she doesn’t release for the charts or for acclaim. recently she has been quite about music but has been teasing collaborations sometimes. but she is taking time atm to work on herself and her music.
Focus wasn’t the first single off of “Dangerous Woman”. Some people thought it was, but it wasn’t. Dangerous Woman was the first single off of the album “Dangerous Woman”.
I understand. Though, however it technically was, despite not being the LEAD single - because the track was still included on the Japanese Edition of the record. I included it because it is still part of the era, even though it technically wasn't the lead single.
@@popdissected4400 no it was an independent release. Ariana just put it on the Japanese version of the CD due to its popularity. Dangerous woman, being my favorite of her cds, tells a story of going from a break up (beginning with moon light) and then finding a man that makes her feel good again (thinking about you). Focus wouldn't make sense in the official track listing as it doesn't go along with the story Ariana presents in dangerous woman. Also focus is kinda like the song "Jason's song (Gave it away)." As it's only on select versions as well. Focus was never a single.
Actually Focus was the lead single of ‘moonlight’ which later she decided to remake the whole thing, bringing the ‘dangerous woman’ concept with the lead single being the album title song leaving Focus as a “””random””” single
Pop Dissected It was initially the lead single for “Moonlight” (the original title of dangerous Woman), however Ariana decided the song and overall creative direction she initially had wasn’t what she wanted for the album so she didn’t put it on the album and it wasn’t a lead single for anything anymore. Dangerous Woman was then the lead single for the album of the same name.
@@popdissected4400 actually it was intended to
All this success and only one grammy... reminds me of Katy Perry (except she has no Grammy)...
Agreed! I honestly am not the hugest fan of Ariana, in fact, I'm not a fan at all. But there is no denying her capability one bit! I do think she deserved a Grammy or two in this years ceremony, but I'm not discontent about who won the awards. Grammys are the highest honor in music, and a honorable achievement for many. Despite that, a Grammy doesn't determine capability, talent, or work ethic :)
@@popdissected4400 exactly! now that we know the truth about the scammys and WHY they choose who wins, i hope that singers and fandoms stop giving them that much of importance
I really don’t understand how she didn’t win AOTY or at least best Pop album this year at the grammys. I love Billie’s album but Ariana deserved it for sure. Even Billie knew that.
@@andresbecerra1183 because of what happened before the grammys last year when Ariana was supposed to perform the medley she performed this year. they basically got "revenge"
Andrés Becerra Billie’s Album was better
Scooter has played an important role in Ariana's success. Plus the number of collaborations she does and how active she's on social media
Any good manager or management can help, but I do not believe that he is one of the sole reasons for it.
I didn't say he was the sole reason. Of course she's talented but her collabs and promotion have contributed a lot in her success.
@@divyad7670 as a businessman yes, as a person no he's a rat and a bully
@@imanathiningi8562 I don’t want to defend scooter but him buying Taylor’s masters was a normal move. People have been buying artists masters since the 80’s. Michael Jackson owned Sony Publishing, so any artists under Sony who were making music helped make him richer. And he also brought the Beatles masters. Even though it’s messed up what he did to Taylor, it’s unfortunately normal and happens way more often than you’d think, Taylor just made her situation more public
@@laughlive8835 he cheated on his wife and forced Ariana to release a song she said she did not want to release because it was too personal. And a whole bunch of other stuff. As a swiftie when people say they hate 🛵 they aren’t just talking about the masters situation.
No Tears Left to Cry was the first song I really listened to and fell in love with. Up until then, everything I had heard from Ariana hadn’t really connected with me, but the personal message and emotion of NTLTC made me an Arianator and will forever be one of my favorite songs of all time 💖 Both of these albums came at exactly the right times for me and honestly they both mean so much to me.
lol, that's what made me an ariana fan
Ninja Vaulter This is going to sound bizarre but I find Not Tears Left To Cry to be a relaxing and an adrenaline-pumping (...?) driving song (like a song that you would listen to while you are driving in a car.) I don’t know what it is-it could be the melody and instrumentals, Ari’s voice, a combination of those two previous things-I don’t know, I find it to be the perfect driving song.
Daniel Baran wow I love that! I’ll pay attention next time it’s comes on in the car!
ΝΤLTC also made me an Arianator😊💖
Same!! I still don’t even LOVE the verse.. but that chorus grabbed me from the first listen and I have been a huge fan ever since 💘 Having heard the stems recently, I can really tell why I love it so much as this song is just art, so many layers. So I paid the album attention and fell in LOVE! These two albums also mean a lot to me (especially Sweetener)
Honestly From the beginning of Ari’s career she’s said that all she wanted to do was sing and music is her art of how she expresses herself and it’s always been her passion so I don’t think she’ll burn out but she’ll definitely take personal time for herself to get inspired again for each record she puts out and as a fan from what I see and know Ari’s gonna be around for awhile cause the girl can sing,act, and perform A STAR !!!!
Ariana has said as of recently, that she treats music as therapy at this point. Compared to earlier times or other artists, she doesn't get the traditional "burned out" when making music. She's talked about how now she's reached a point where all she wants to do is sing, and she honestly doesn't really care about the reviews, the listen parties for her label, etc.
Responding to what you asked about Ariana taking care of herself... I believe she really saturated herself in 2019 between an album release with 2 singles, a world tour, 3 more singles (rule the world, boyfriend & monopoly), headlined Coachella and lollapalooza, a world tour, a live album AND the production of a soundtrack.
In 2020 she released 2 singles as of now (August) which both debuted at #1 but besides that, she’s been making music and taking time for herself, i think she’ll need it cause everyone is keeping an eye and waiting for her to be back, and it’ll be huuge, her way of healing is music so it’s kind of killing 2 birds with 1 stone, she gets to have time for healing and at the same time release music that will get her success.
I think she’s in a great place and I can’t wait for her to be back😍 (also sorry for making it too long😂)
This was great!! I agree with what you think, well said 👌
E CB thanks! Also I’m glad someone read the whole thing😂😂
Her manager does a stellar job at promoting. Also, her social media numbers help!
i hate scooter with a passion but i have to admit he’s good at his job
Thank u, next NEEDED to get a Grammy!
Edit: Not saying Billie didn't deserve it!
the release of thank u next after sweetener was like ariana quote tweeting “everything will be okay” with “j f*cking k”
few fi fo rum i think i smell a reveluv
Ari: *Releases a song called “Successful”*
Sweetener and Thank U, Next: *Performed extremely successfully*
She spoke it into existence! 🙌
the thing with ariana is she is the one who wants to put out albums and singles very quick. but i’m glad she’s taking some time now. but she also has stated that she doesn’t particularly love the classic way of promoting a pop record and it is obviously that she was leaving that behind in the sweetener/thank u, next era (especially compared to the my everything era). i think rn she has find a point where she is comfortable and i think she will keep doing what she is comfortable with as the years progress
“it feels so good to be so young and have this fun and be successful...” Im obsessed 😂
i think it will be just like rihanna... she'll release a bunch of records and then take a long ass break and focus on other stuff
of hell no , Rihanna made albums like each year , Ariana takes breaks
i don’t think so, Ariana treats music as her therapy and i don’t ever see her walking away from music n
jonathan ortega no ari is a flop
except rihanna is good and ari is generic
@@Max-uu6rv she’s just the opposite than a flop lmaoooo
the fact that thank u, next was her first no. 1 song is wild to me since she made so many bangers in the mid-2010s
I’m watching this video because of Ariana Grande. She is my favorite artist. I love her music 🎶!!!
Arianators rise up!!!!
Pop Dissected I’m here ❤️
Ariana isn't working according to Ariana. She constantly says she'll be singing and recording as she is now well into her last years. She is a legend in the making, and deserves everything she has. She would be worst off if she didn't produce music in the midst of her personal life taking huge turns. It's a seal on it that she has healed through self expression and connection and is allowing herself to move forward. As for touring & press, eh, this was more asked in dangerous woman era, it became evident she cannot be stopped and completes every tour without fail, and anything she does from now on will be relevant. Including a pet pig. Enough said
period u said all of that so well!!
I gurss Ariana isn't tired to constantly release things because she said "music is her life " and "music saved her life " u guve what I'm saying
Weren’t you gonna do this with Prism/Teenage Dream or 1989???
Don't worry.... "Teenage Dream" may be coming sooner than you think. Next week is the anniversary, hm?
@@popdissected4400 can't wait! Will be on the lookout for it!! 👏🏼🤞🏼🙌🏼
@@popdissected4400 oh yh, and then its smile
In regards to the burnout question, Ariana herself said she adores the song creation process and that it doesn't feel like work, and she's been creating and recording in her home studio ever since she got her gear during the lockdown. I think her love of music creation will definitely help her not burn out. However I believe putting out projects without a period of just resting (without any collabs) is going to overexpose her and the general public *could* get tired of her.
wow this woman has been through so much, im glad she's overcoming the pain in Positions
ariana was on a completely tight schedule (especially at the beginning of her music career) during the end of yours truly and start of my everything. she has spoken out that she did so many promotions and interviews in 2013/2014 that she was completely exhausted and it wasn’t good for her mental health. that’s one of the reasons why you don’t see her doing as many in person interviews or morning shows in the past 2 years as she did in 2013/2014. as for her schedule...
yours truly (released in august 2013)
listening sessions tour (aug.- sep. in 2013)
-less than a year break
my everything (released in august 2014)
honeymoon tour (feb. - oct. of 2015)
focus (released in oct 2015)
dangerous woman (released may 2016)
dangerous woman tour (feb. - sep. 2017)
sweetener (released august 2018)
sweetener sessions (aug. - sep. 2018)
thank u next (released 2019)
sweetener/thank u next tour (march-dec. 2019)
-(that’s where i’m gonna end it cause it’s august of 2020 and we’ve gotten “time” (w childish gambino), “stuck with u” (w justin), and “rain on me” (w lady gaga)-
so as a quick overlook, she releases an album one year... tours the next... takes a short break until releasing a new album. ariana loves creating music and it’s literally her life... and she’s spoken about scheduling and how she’s going to be releasing things the way she wants to now and how it’s going to be up to how she’s feeling and not up to what others think. and she’s said that she’s gonna be making music even when she’s like 90😂😂
I think that a really important factor too, is that at the swt/tun eras she was the only”relevant” pop star, let me explain, Rihanna was (is) on hiatus and working on Fenty Beauty, Katy’s “witness” flopped, what I mean, is that when most pop stars were on hiatus, Ariana released 2 albums which gave her more relevance to the general public.
that made people pay more attention to her and gave her so many new fans and stans. her fandom has quadrupled since sweetener.
Honestly these two albuns completly defined my 2018/2019 years, full of emotional tracks and amazing bops! I'm REALLY excited to see what ariana is planning on to be her next album
It’s crazy how all thank u next songs peaked in top 50. She’s a powerful woman. Thank u next is my favorite album of hers.
she actually taking a break but she’s also making music cause she loves that and it’s like a therapy for her, we are probably getting the lead single of ag6 end of 2020-debut of 2021
I wasn’t an arianator last year but then I realized I know all her songs from her albums and that’s when it really hit
i’m an arianator since 5 years and the question of the end, this is my answer: arianas always says music is her therapy, it makes her feel good and she also wants her fans to have new things!
These albums truly helped her into becoming a megastar
Why did this make me tear up multiple times 🥺 I'm so proud of her😭
No pressure, but I would like a video of you discussing Lady Gaga's debut era (The Fame/The Fame Monster). BTW, love your videos!
Thanks so much for the support! I've gotten this request a lot! I promise you, and every Little Monster, and anyone else seeing this comment I will in fact get to it! It may not be right away, but it's such a good video topic, it has to happen!
i second the motion
plssss talk about dua lipa and her sophomore success
she isn’t as active as she was during sweetener and thank u next eras. but from she has posted has been about her perfume or working on music. i think she’ll drop an album next year summer
never quite understood why not more of the BRILLIANT tracks from TU,N was not pushed as singles:
1. imagine - just about one of the BEST albums openers, ever. it grabs you in its hypnotic syncopated beat, the tune, the instrumentation. and THAT voice. and that build up. OMFG.
2. needy - the finger snaps, the strings, the lyrics...
3. bloodline - the dancehall beat, horns, "let this shit go" indeed.
4. ghostin' - no pun intended, but haunting and ethereal and heartbreaking AF.
Yeah it’s crazy how successful these 2 albums were, she really proved that she’s a mainstream and official diva. I honestly think her peak is yet to come
“It feels so good to be so young and beautiful and so successful... Yuh I’m so successful”
ANOTHER VIDEO OF THE QUEEN 💕
Period. 😊
also, must give credits to Thank you, next Era for the womens on the production! We've got Victoria Monet for example that helped Ari on the multiple lyrics. I think the recent eras of Ari are just Masterpiece!
Imagine is one of her best singles imo. That song is so beautiful, and being a fan of hers since the beginning and seeing her flourish is absolutely amazing
Who else would love Pop Disected to do a video on Victoria Monet and Little Mix???
Thank you for the suggestion!
Pop Dissected thank you for making awesome videos!!
@@popdissected4400 please make a video about Little Mix
Yessssss Victoria Monet!!!
Nicki's the Queen Of Rap and Young Ariana runs pop :)
Why is that...a fact?
@@popdissected4400 Im just repeating a lyric that Nicki said in her Side to Side verse. And in my opinion, what she said is true. I think Nicki is the Queen Of Rap and that Ariana is one of the most impactful pop artists running the pop music industry. To be honest, it doesnt have to be a fact as everyone has their own opinions :)
@@vibingking6582 i think he agrees with u
a lot of people say that her constantly releasing especially during the transition from sweetener to tun was her overworking herself and burning herself out yet she has stated many time music IS what helped her through all that trauma. as a fan tho, im glad to see right now.. she’s definitely taking a break from music other than some droplets like rain on me which is for gaga and stuck with u which was for covid relief, to focus on her own mental health as well as working on her next studio album. as much as weve been asking her shes definitely taking her sweet time on this album and making sure shes out of the major media to avoid over saturation which i also think is good because basically all of 2019 she was everywhere and needs that time off to build some hype for her next project
urgh ari is such a queen 😭♥️
She's taking a break & still promoting. She just signed a deal with Netflix for her tour. Plus she likes performing. She said it herself she does.
I think she found out her true herself, she did a different style of music and changed the vídeos and the way she usually looked, she learned from her mistakes and grew up, some artists can't do that, but Ariana did and very well. And of course the voice is amazing and the songs now are very pop and catchy, and we don't have many songs like that these days. The comparisons with MARIAH CAREY in the early years didn't help either, but with these two álbuns we saw the true Ariana and just her. I'm a huge LAMB and i also Love Ariana very much!!!💖
The Mariah comparisons were just redundant by 2015. Ariana didn’t appeal to the gp during her early eras because it was just generic pop records. I remember thinking back then that her voice was being wasted for those kind of songs because she could do more. After Sweetener, her artistry began to pick up and then evolved into TUN. I’m a huge lamb too but we have to give credit where it’s due because Ariana finally discovered her sound
@@applaudent2945 Yeah but you can't say that people didn't like her music even back then because they did. She's more popular now, but she always was, let's keep it 100, now. Her first album is still widely loved by her fanbase, and it was an rnb/pop-sounding album that came out during a time when pure pop was still the most dominant genre, so it was a bit of risk and it still did well. The MC comparisons basically stopped by Dangerous Woman, even though I agree that she perfected her sound more so with Sweetener and TUN.
@@applaudent2945 yours truly was fully RnB not pop
“thank u, next” is her best body of work! the way they produced the record like an early 2000s pop record! Superb !
9:02 how remembers that The Light is Coming feat Nicki Minaj was a single. I liked that song
Yes, you're right. She really needs to rest. When she released her new album "k bye for now", I thought she was going to rest, focus on herself and would not make a new album in the next 2-3 years. But, she released a new single positions last October 23, and an album this October 30. Wow! She does not rest! I really hope she would rest for a while, I am quite afraid for her voice or vocals.
FOCUS IS ACTUALLY A LEAD SINGLE FOR HER 3RD ALBUM WHICH IS "MOONLIGHT" BUT SOMETHING HAPPENS SO THEY CHANGE IT AND DANGEROUS WOMAN MADE.
I am not sure but I think ariana will forever do her next eras just like thank you next , I mean with less promotion, just a surprise release , not so many interviews and award show performances, because she is in a moment when she can drop it suddenly and still be successful
i really appreciate how respectful and intelligent you are when you speak. this is the first vid i’ve seen of yours and your cadence indicates intentional thought. like it feels like you’re reading from a script That You Spent A Lot Of Time On. the passion is clear, concise, and excellently worded! not the bland or distracted narration i feel like i get from other videos haha. great job! i really liked this! 😊
Ariana doesn’t see making music as her job, it’s what she does, who she is, what she loves. It’s a way of life and coping for her. As fans, we have begged her to take breaks for herself and sit back (she has been through so much after all) but she reassures us that it what she wants to be doing what she loves with her time. She’s also stated that she would stop if she felt the need. So yeah... as an ari stan that’s my input on that question 🌙💜
I think Ariana will at some point hit a point where she “falls” from the #1s. i love her don’t get me wrong, but as we’ve seen in the past artist tend to have a streak of getting #1s constantly and then start falling off... i really hope/wish she’s putting effort on AG6 instead of trying to rush something by 2021
Very good point. I think she's accumulated so much success to fast. She's so talented, but I also attribute it to her very quick release schedule. I do hope for her next record we do see a significant evolution. I do state in the video she has evolved a lot from her debut to her most recent record, but I do feel there is untapped potential there for her to expand!
I agree, she has a little over exposed herself in the industry. I hope that we she waits till 2021, so that there will be more anticipation for a comeback era.
Pop Dissected i love her sm, i don’t think she’s has to change style, or any of that, but it seems like she’s going more for a small ponytail then a longer one. anyways i just hope she’s not trying to release something quick just to get #s. Though she has many times said she doesn’t care, and i hope she sticks to that if she doesn’t hit another #1
i don’t actually think so, the general public is and has always been OBSESSED with ariana. she will always chart
@@allthingspage1498 they were obsessed with Katy Perry as well - she had "anthems" but now most people don't even care about her new stuff
god I love ari, I remember stalking her ask.fm, her tumblr, when we would make fun of her calling her "fetus ari," and, sam and cat too, sheeeesh, then I stopped being a fan for a bit and then my everything came out and I wanted to go to the hmt so badly but I was broke.. but damn!!!! she grewwww
damnnnnn IM SO PROUD!
i'm going to list a few memories to mark moments in her life the good and bad (there's no order):
I remember she released dangerous woman tracks day by day (I think?) on apple music, WHEN MUSICIALLY LEAKED DANGEROUS WOMAN, she changed twitter her bio a bit after the release of focus, the "soon" rule, her keek videos, her "lavender envelopes" meme, viva glam collab, perfume, her mimu gloves unboxing, her ipsy collab, her apology video because of the donut video, the donut incident, her teasing "my way" "sober" "got her own", her house tour, when grandpa grande died (rip), her first tattoo, when she got her new dog on tour (i forget his name), the instgram page for ophilia and the other dog, her halloween costume that everone posted in 2013 (bloody vampire), her cat ear phase, her bangs, monopolu, one love manchester, when she released one last tme music video, her vines, her bot kik account to promote ari by ariana grande), her bow era which every youtuber made videos on (bethany mota lol), her make up tutorial, her snap stories with mac, her engagement w pete, and much much more
i love her and she's always going to be part of my life.. I grew up with her and it's rewarding to see how mainstream she is now because I thought her biggest era was my everything, awkward moonlight/focus phase, dangerous woman, sweetener, and thank u, next, but she's just growing.. it's crazy! I would always read her bio's on instagram and now she's over 200 million! I always thought I was a super fan but damn there's so many of uss now! she feels like a friend to me lolol,
I am so proud of ari and I hope when she's an oold lady she can look at her accomplishments and remember everything she does/did inspired so many young women, gays, and men. geeeshh!
What's the soon rule and lavender envelopes meme? Also, she made vines? I only knew about her tiktok/musical.ly videos...
@@Justinya0 soon "10 days or less" / she teased a picture of a envelope with the purple hue over it (in her "ari by ariana grande era" and everyone thought it was a song for her third album/
yes! search for "ariana grande vines" and "ariana grande keek videos"
i'm an OG stan.. so I feel like a veteran \
She says that the time to herself is used to make more music. And it’s healing to her to create music. She doesn’t see the actual writing and creating process as tiring, but she did say she hated having to promote her first three albums, as it was tiring and took a toll on her. Her mission statement of sorts is all she’s ever wanted to do was sing and not promotion
I feel like she has a lot she wants to write about now and feels like she can help others when she expresses her emotions
well, ariana is doing really good right now, she said that thank u , next was such a healing proccess for her, and yes, she is doing more music. im so happy for her tbh, she has been through so much yk, her parents got divorced when she was 8, she lost her grandpa who was her everything, everything that happened with mac miller, the manchester attack and then pete davidson. this all left her with depression, anxiety and ptsd. im so proud of her, i see her so happy
People don't realize how impacted these albums were and how much it showed about her. Sweetner was her saying she was fine but faked it just to show people how to handle sadness. Thank you, next (in my opinion) was better because it showed people how to truly handle sadness, by being sad.
Fake smile is a great example of how she faked her happiness just to show people how "happy" she was. Now she has Thank you, next which shows the damage events had on her and now Positions shows that she is truly better now and accepts her past but still is happy.
We love the nods to her original sound in thank u, next while doing something new❤️
Ariana is doing something she loves. She said after the tour that she was going to take a break. However, recently she has been teasing new music. She has also said before that •she would take a break, but she doesn’t know what she would do if she wasn’t doing something,” or something along the lines of that. It is rumored in the fandom that she has an album coming at the end of the year. Personally, I think her break could have been a little bit longer but, if she wants to release music, she can release music.
I think Ariana is basically taking a break now, she’s only released 2 songs this year and both were spaced out (both reaching number1 on billboard)
Well, the question you asked is not easily answered. Yes, Ariana is taking care of herself. But she's stated multiple times that she's a workaholic and making music is her therapy, so... Idk. I feel like her current team seems very much like family, so I trust everyone's looking out for her health and state of mind.
What I love in you’re channel is that you talk also about other stuff in the videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
okay but your voice is so soothing. i loveee your voice
i want her new album to be something fresh and experimental like Sweetener which is her best album .
I wouldn’t say pure pop is over. Ava Max is still seeing relative success in the pure pop field and Katy Perry’s songs like Never Really Over and Smile received a lot of acclaim for their quality and sound! And despite not performing well on the charts, Carly Rae Jepsen’s last two albums (Emotion and Dedicated) are so highly acclaimed with the former also making many lists for the best songs of the DECADE! Plus, Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa’s recent albums draw a lot of pure pop influences with dance and disco music adding to the mix.
I just think that the industry is slowly gravitating back towards that pure pop sound and will get there within a few more years 😊
If we are being honest, the only artist doing pure pop that is getting both critical AND chart success is Dua Lipa. No one else is doing as well as her in that arena. If pure pop does come back its probably gonna be due to her. She and the weeknd have brought back the 80's, so I guess it is possible.
@@lucifertoyou Ummm Disco is like a subgenre of pop friend. It still counts in my opinon. That's even more of a risk. Besides her highly successful debut album was pure pop.
@@lucifertoyou It was a risk. Dua was quite literally the first person to put herself out there and do disco. Disco was widely considered to be a dead genre. Everyone else followed after Don't Start Now by Dua proved to be a hit.
Pop dissected , i am following Ariana since the dangerous woman era . From her posts , we all Arianators know , that she loves music than anything in her life , She keeps surprising us with what she’s doing , if she’s taking a break , through her twitter account and her instagram handle . From all that , i can say she would not get exhausted from music at all , she is even preparing for her next album and many many collaborations💕
sweetener and thank u,next feel like two sides of the same coin. different but ultimately tied together and can only make sense with each other
A icon in the making. Love this queen
Nicki Minaj’s side to side lyric:
I’m the queen of rap, young ariana run pop
I’m a huuuuuge ari fan and also a pop fan in general and my fav album is thank u, next because it’s sooooo personal, it’s like if she got away from pop usually shallow lyrics and just started putting her feelings in her music
This was so beautifully researched and structured. i can’t believe how successful her sweetener era and thank u next eras where, im so blessed that i got to live through them.
as a fan, she’ll never stop making music. she loves it and we’ll always give her that platform. she takes as long or as little as she likes to release music and we’re up for whatever she wants. i’d recommend downloading twitter.
I see Sweetener and TUN as 2 chapters of the same book. Sweetener is her being more optimistic in dealing with personal adversaries while TUN is much more honest and vulnerable...
Now I’m so excited for AG6, especially since I’ve heard it’s gonna be her most r&b body of work
Brilliant analysis of such a legendary career! This Gem of a Starlight as so much more to radiate! Just You wait! History is yet to be made!
Last night I decided to listen to tun again, no skips, and I can’t believe I forgot what a masterpiece this album is 🤍
A video for 1989 success? Love your content😍
Ariana always take her, time here and there last time she was away from social media and music for about 3 years till sweetner came to play and she haven’t left since but she do take time for herself, and her fans always encourage her too because she been thru soo much and it totally needed
as a fan, she’s taking the time for herself :) she definitely works herself into exhaustion, but during this time where we’re stuck at home, she’s having “me time” with her current boyfriend, and some friends she’s quarantined with :) in the meantime she is making music, but won’t be releasing for quite some time
As a big fan of Ariana's I believe that she focuses on her mental health a lot. At first going back touring, on the sweetener world tour was very emotional for her. She had some low points behind the scenes, once us fans started to notice that we told her to not worry about us, and that she should focus on her mental health. So she cancelled meet n greet, and after that I could tell she was doing great mentally.
Loved this video! Could you make a video like this about whole Rihanna's career?
Make a video about a Dua and how she rebranded herself with FN!
Great idea! 😃 I initially planned a video about "FN" but abandoned it, but this does provoke some great ideas!
thank u, next and sweetener are such a VIBE! every single song makes u reflect on how that song resumes a part of ur life... even if it doesn't match to ur taste, it contains incrideble lyrics and production ♥️
ariana always says that making music n being in the studio is therapeutic to her n that she writes song to sorta understand her own feelings, like with breathin, an amazing song about her anxiety n healing which she sat down n wrote right after a panic attack. her songwriting is very in the moment n not working off of a distant memory or manufactured in any way, which is why i don’t see her running out of songs to write or music to make anytime soon.
