In a world of podcast saturation, where every man and his dog has a microphone and an internet connection, it’s easy to forget how effective and powerful good journalism is. Well researched, intelligently interrogated, approachable and entertaining. This is a fantastic interview.
Absolutely agree, the interviewer is so relaxed, engaged and genuinely interested, and I think it means we get a more authentic, less polished Ariana! Very well done
I was in no way an Ariana Grande fan until now. Her singing in this movie has moved me and her acting was spot on for her character. I could tell she worked exceptionally hard for this part, but in some way I felt she was made for this part. I especially loved the hair whips and her rendition of my favorite song, “Popular “. So the question for all of you is….. how do you want your Ariana???? Grande!! Of course. I really really really wish she wins because she earned it.
You can even hear it in her speaking voice how it’s transformed from the way she used to speak. Her enunciation of consonants now is like an actual musical theatre/classical vocalist.
that’s what i been saying since 2023, she got good pronunciation and she speaks so much better now. her character helped her to get this and i’m glad, i think we all are.
Honesty, This was the MOST amazing, incredible & authentic interview I’ve ever watched in my life. Ariana was absolutely respectful, well spoken, polite, classy & cool, calm & collected during this interview. I really love how she articulate her words so very clearly & well. You can literally look at her & tell she’s getting a lot better & better by answering the right questions & she seems so very comfortable with it too.
She’s so sweet. Throughout this press tour, she gave proper credit to the amazing artists who worked with them behind the scenes. Her long-time vocal coach, Eric Vetro. Their genius choreographer, Chris Scott. Their amazing costume designer Paul Tazewell. I now memorize all their names because she would always make sure to name them and not just refer to their job title. She’s a hard worker but it makes me love her more for her humility and grace ❤
In this interview, Ariana knows how to present herself authentically in line with the nomination. A woman who has grown up and can represent herself seriously. A very good interview, which can be described as successful.
She deserve taking that Oscar so much,her dedication,the way her sing,the timing comic it's absolute briliant,we need see this kind of humor have your space in Oscar,drama and tears is boring all the time.
This was a beautiful interview, clever, thoughtful and deep questions! You could tell Ari was delighted and so excited throughout the whole thing! Thank you for this 🥹
All I know about Grande is that she is young, very petite, a very good mimic of other “diva” pop stars, successful, hard working. I don’t care for pop music. But she has such lovely enunciation-i revel in her end consonants! I hope she is as happy and sane and balanced as she seems to be here. Wouldn’t that be the best gift life could present to a very ,popular entertainer!
Honey, we are still young. I'm also in my early thirties and I still am a baby, tbh. I feel like I'm slowly growing up, but your twenties are just the same as teens but with more responsibility and of drinking age lol @@DHM91
@@DHM91 I looked her up. She’s 31. Still less than half my age. Seems my wish for a calm, balanced private life for this person isn’t likely going to happen.
Her enunciation (at least singing) was notoriously bad through the entire first part of her Pop music career. Great range, but the words were often so incomprehensible it became a source of frequent mockery of her by many. She womaned up and fixed that issue, clearly through hard work and training. There's a point beyond which (both on her albums and live) the problem disappeared as if it had never existed. You'll only see it in older recordings.
One of the best interviewers out there! She knows how to do her job and how to make it fun. I applaud your work! That said, Ariana is so mature now, can't believe she's already 30 Time flies
From someone whos been supporting ari for as long as i can remember, i am SO SO proud of everything she has accomplished. she went through so much, it was honestly scary being a fan at one point. But she really pushed through everything and earned her dream role 🥹💕. the strongest.
For once I feel like the interview really was about her, and not young journalists making it about them. Congrats, we love this content and I hope the woman in the video and Mrs Ariana Grande do too 💌
I'm older but have actually been a fan since she did a version of Popular with Mika about ten years ago. She doesn't often sing in a style that appeals to me but in Wicked she straight up stole my heart; those operatic runs literally made me lift out of my seat straining to keep them company. In a perfect world she'd win the Oscar, but I think the Academy will go PC this year. Too bad. I remember when musicals actually won awards and were beloved artworks. So looking forward to both For Good and hopefully an extended version of part one with the cut scenes included.💕💚💕💚💕💚💕
All I can say is that Ariana along with Cynthia both really brought so much to the roles of Elphaba and Glinda. They really should be nominated for an Oscar for the hard work they did. Also Ariana really grew into a great actress as well as a singer with that role.
I have heard many interviews related to the Wicked Movie. And I have to say that you asked really good questions while allowing Ariana time to respond the way she did. This was really wonderful. Thank you for this♥
Oh my gosh, her answer about Galinda's purpose is so beautiful and well thought out... I'm learning more and more about wicked and ive already been obsessed even at a surface level since I was 10.
5:10 „are you a naturally dancer“ Ariana: „I don’t think so“ Also Ariana: Dancing every day all day on 3 world tours. STOP FORGETTING ABOUT YOUR PAST ARIANA😭 omg I’m crying
what a fantastic interview, with the right (and proper!!!!) questions about the movie and actors. honestly it's such a joy seeing Ariana getting to explore her first love, and that being musical theater. i'm pretty sure this interview took place before the oscar nominations' announcement, but i just can't wait to see Ari exploring this career path for herself, seeing how amazing of an actor she is, i hope this oscar 'validation' lights up some kind of fuel in her to perceive this career that she seems to love so deeply and truly. can't wait for Wicked part 2 omggggg
What a fantastic interview, the host was perfect, as was Ariana .. Wicked : For Good is going to be amazing. I’m guessing the ‘prosthetics’ comments are referring to what will happen to Fiyero and Boq 😁
This is truly a great interview. An interview to be studied by those who aspire to interview people well in public, and an interview to be studied by those who aspire to be interviewed well in public. There is so much brilliance on display here. Ariana is famous for being brilliant and shows us again here why that is. What is remarkable is this interviewer displays an equal brilliance which we clearly see and hear throughout these moments she speaks with Ariana. What bothers me is that no where can I find the name of this interviewer anywhere - it's not spoken within the video, nor can I find her name within any of this video's accompanying text here on TH-cam. Is the BBC oblivious to the fact they have this superstar interviewer among them? Why doesn't this interviewer headline her own show under her own name? I would very much like to know the name of This Interviewer so I can follow her future interviewing career and thus learn much more about our world.
These questions were so great! I love hearing Ariana talk about playing Glinda, you just feel the commitment and passion and it is so wonderful to see! So happy for her!
For me, Ariana Grande is the Queen Of Pop. So love to listen her music, her elegant and angelic voice when she gets perform on the music stage. Again Ariana Grande is my Queen in the world of Pop music.
Great interview...while Ari repeats most of her press points from the press tour, she filled in with even more information. I love that she thought this part needed Tobe worked for and earned.

she’s literally initiating a english accent she didn’t do this literally a week ago 😭it’s dependant on who
@Reihateclub that happens to me, i kind of take people's accents partially.
@ it isn’t normal unless your consistently training in broadway 😭 quit doing that it’s seird
She's always enunciated her end consonants, when speaking.

I don’t think she will. I think she should but it’ll go to Zoe. That dumb movie is the critics darling
I HOPE SO
@@laylascott6096 the other awards show will show us who's gonna get the win but I really really hope it goes to ariana.

7:58 love that she said she got to “grab little Ari’s hand”; such a touching connection to one of the best moments of the movie 💚🩷💚🩷
it's been a while since we heard deep, thought-out questions like those! thank you the arts hour!!

True!!!
What a fantastic interview! The interviewer is sublime and Ari seems to be so naturally at ease because of her
I never get tired of Ariana grande interviews talking about wicked ❤❤❤ wicked is my favorite movie of all time
arianas growth is so beautiful to see. she killed it as glinda

as a fan of ariana for more than ten years it’s easily top 5 of her best interviews ever

such an amazing interviewer, two beautiful souls together sharing and confessing about art. love it!

Me too honey, I’m so filled with joy 🎉

She didn’t speak like that before. Her vocal training for this film also transformed her resting speaking voice as well. Very spectacular indeed
As someone in their early 30s, it's uplifting to hear someone refer to Ariana Grande as young. Music to my ears!

Oh, at last. Finally, finally. Someone giving Ariana the serious and sensible interview about this project that she deserves. 🙂
she is so cute and so gorgeous. i love her so much and love how she is so greatful to have been able to play galinda 💗
so so proud of her ❤
Her voice is beyond beautiful to listen I’m obsessed
I love this interview so so much thanks Ari
She has got to be the best interviewer with Ari to date!!!
what a thoroughly lovely interview! great chemistry there!
Lovely interview, Ariana is so much more articulate on this podcast than she was on BBCs Graham Norton Show! 😊
It’s definitely a different type of show. Graham is more comedy
Also it's just her here, she can just focus on the interviewer.
Although I did enjoy her explanation of holding space to Graham😊
Norton was a disaster , she can only work with the same boring questions thrown at her . This is lovely though.
what an absolutely fantastic interview, oh my goodness
this interview was amazing. all of the questions are so good
