Bruce Springsteen's song "Born in the USA" is NOT about patriotism. It's about soldiers serving in Vietnam then coming home to dishonor and economic hardship. It's an anti-war anthem.
I'm just waiting for them to break up this isn't a relationship that'll last. It's just infatuation and once that feeling is gone Ariana isn't known for sticking around.
Could be like LeeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian. Idk if they're still together but they were both married when they got together, divorced their spouses and got married.
Imagine abandoning your family, your Highschool sweetheart and your new baby, for what you MUST know deep down won’t last. I’m certain that in his quiet moments alone, the guilt and anxiety kills him. He probably has to keep himself in a constant state of delusion just to not go crazy. He has to keep lying to himself, telling himself that he’s different and it’ll last. But deep down, he knows.
I feel like Ariana loves the infatuation/honeymoon stage of love but doesn't know what to do when the fireworks fade and you settle into daily life. Which is both sad, cause living life with my husband and best friend is just the best and I wish that for everyone, and makes for constant disappointment. And allegations of home wrecking apparently....
She clearly has mental issues , cuz that’s not normal. She should get help instead of calling everyone a hater , or getting defensive for her own actions. You are very right
That's cause she has never really been single for more than a couple of months and not even in a long term relationship, she just kept jumping from one relationship to another one ever since she was a teenager. We all need some time to be single (especially after a relationship just ended) to work on ourselves and learn to be happy with ourselves so that eventually we can have an healthy relationship with someone else if we want, but she doesn't want to do that, she doesn't want to be single for long, cause I believe that deep down she doesn't like herself so she needs the constant reassurance that at least other people like her and that she can make any man fall for her, but as you said after the infatuation/honeymoon phase is over she doesn't know how to handle a long term relationship because she needs that feeling of having someone who is head over heels for her again, and so she breaks up and immediately gets with someone else.
Yes! I got whiplash from that statement. She certainly popularised it in the mainstream, and she openly talked about the new york clubs & the queens it originated with. I vaguely recall some of them were in the video, but i might have hallucinated that, i was a long time ago.
Yeah fact checking a lot of statements from some of her videos you can see she heavily speculates or just outright spurts out misinformation. And I don’t think it’s intentional but just from lazy or lousy researching
@@camrynmax6703yea and I kinda didn’t want to finish the video cause of that statement which is a shame cause some of her other videos I stumbled into actually is well researched and not biased. It’s a shame really.
This was a really really good analysis! You said so many things that I hadn’t thought of myself, but really resonated with me. One thing that I wanted to mention that I kind of noticed towards the end was that it seems to me that Ariana knows that some of her most loyal fan base is LGBT. That being said, being LGBT myself, it kind of felt like she was trying to dog whistle her LGBT audience. I think that’s why it felt so disjointed because I’m not sure that the “born this way love yourself” moment at the beginning of the song was authentic. The “I love LGBT” message was so random that it almost felt like she was calling that audience to her defense by appealing to the lack of lgbt love in media. Felt very calculated to me.
It's kind of a bad example to use Springsteen as you did because a lot of people mistakenly think it's actually a song about patriotism when it's kinda the opposite via Americans being disillusioned in the Reagan era.
all they had to do was look at the lyrics to the Springsteen song (born in the usa). that is literally all they had to do to avoid sounding ridiculous. i'm just so done with lazy content. also, they need to understand that you don't have to say "the 1980s." literally nobody thinks they're talking about the 1880s. i never use this term but this content is the definition of cringe. especially the madonna part honestly. furthermore, Christian Breslauer is the one who came up with the mythology and numerology references. The industry is rife with them, and they exist in literally every pop music video. read some vigilant c itizen articles sometime. ugh ugh ugh. also speaking as a fascia expert they really need to stop furrowing their brow so much while they talk or they're absolutely going to be aging like garbage. I feel like this video was created as one massive trigger for me lmao
@@imonislandtime maybe the trigger is being judge for infidelity to someone you used to love [8:30-18:06] The Eternal Sunshine is reference to our edenic fall from grace & though we've forgotten what our true love is, it doesn't stop us from being dissatisfied with every other substitute. Hence adultery, cheating, and political intrigue at every turn. Odd how this young lady even has the ability to know that cheating on your spouse is not good, no matter how young & beautiful one is.. [8:30-19:31] Red light is cleansing, not cooking, healing experience by altering reality or perception of right & wrong. [22:37-27:09-29:43] tone-deaf & willful ignorance [25:10-26:22] it's not even really singing so much as talking. Though I'm unfamiliar with AG's "music," witchcraft is manipulation but incantation stylized singing & wand magic spell is dead on [30:33] ..they don't actually agree with the message [improvisation], they are just brainwashed now. [32:15] The second it is over the blinds/curtains falls & the light shines in [exposing her lies], light is truth in the Bible. [33:40] Bruce Springsteen comment was a throw-away, to highlight how incomparable these two music videos are. [34:57] Excellent analogy, but AG's mistaken assumption because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas is a lie & is only trying to rear its ugly head virus into idolizing what Proverbs calls dragging one's soul to sheol [death & eternal torment]. We see this play out with people like Angelina Jolie, as a homewrecker who was never accepted by her peers in Hollywood. Demi Moore seems to be treated like she has contracted the plague as well, though that one is puzzling why exactly.. As someone already mentioned in another forum, he once knew someone who had commited a sex crime [child molester] & 50 years later as the two met over a volunteer position at a charity organization, the man was eventually recognized as a convict & his face was plastered all over the internet & newspaper. And the guy who had befriended the guy over altruism was shocked, no flabbergasted that this guy's sin followed him even after 50 years since his crime. Stating in no uncertain terms: Do not to think your indiscretion won't damage & follow you for the rest of your life. This was true of King David, it was also true of his son King Solomon. No sin goes unpunished, not even in modern day. Though I know the healing lamp, enter the furnace comment belies an heart that still thinks it's okay. Society has normalized divorce & sexual liaisons for quite some time. I give her an A+ for citing as much as she has. Clearly she's very engaging in her analysis, and she is not garbage, no one is. [17:08] Yes & focus is nice touch to tie in with improv, not improve.
Singing "be yourself and do what makes you happy" when in her case it means messing up other people's intimacy is beyond tone deaf. She's admitting her happiness is above basic human empathy. Which goes against the "girl's girl" sweet persona she's created for herself. She's also avoiding to take responsability for ANY of her actions. There are pretty valid critics regarding her black/east asian fishing and her tendency to cheat & date men who are already in a relationship. These critics have nothing to do with projection, baby
Later on this song, she also states like who do you care who D I ride….That D was married to me if a man is dating someone they’re off-limits. He totally wrecked his relationship. I get that. I think you know what I mean I agree
As a mother I just couldn't imagine having that happen. But then for it to be played out on the world stage!?? Goodness my heart breaks for the mother and the child. That is about as dirty slimy and evil as someone can get. That baby is gonna get big fast, and sadly he will be able to see how everything went down with his parents. As a wife and mother I cannot for the life of me begin to grasp how someone isn't only ok with doing that but they are literally cashing in on ripping a family apart. Had she never come into his life, sure the chance of them divorcing anyway is likely. BUT imo it probably would have come years later and the possibility of it being amicable is good. If you're not ending your marriage because of another person then the opportunities for you to understand what you should be doing for the family you created are a lot clearer to see. I truly can't even speak on it anymore, it's so sad. God bless this young woman and her baby boy 🙏🏼❤️🩹
I don't get how her stans actively choose to ignore any of this as if nothing happened. They are instead choosing to believe her songs which hardly qualify as proof.
"who cares, as long as im happy!" What about the happiness of your ex husband, his soon to be ex wife, and his baby? So, only Ariana's happiness matters, no one elses.
To be honest it just surprises me that it took people this long to realize who she is. I haven't listened to her songs for a couple of years now (never was a big fan) and definitely haven't kept up on her private life. But since she is one of the biggest personalities in the world I couldn't avoid the rumors and hit songs completely. To me it was quite clear for a while that she is a narcissist who will just get whoever she wants, enjoy her time with them and then dump them. Make believe she is a helpless romantic who truly fell in love with every one of her boyfriends is being way too generous. There are men and women who enjoy stealing someone's spouse, because they feel powerful and wanted. She certainly fits the stereotype. I am just sad all of these guys she left in her wake are so stupid they didn't see through her and gave up their long term relationships for a fling. I mean I would bet money Ethan Slater will be just another ex in 2 years. Good job for fucking up your marriage and your kids life Ethan.
@@DC-bg5vy if you're talking about her ex husband (don't know his name), I don't have a place to talk because I'm not her fan & don't know about her personal life other than this scandal. But if you're trying to say that the fault is entirely ethan's, you're sooo wrong. Yes, of course he cheated on his wife and that's obviously wrong... but ariana *knew* he was married and still chose to 'steal him' (not the best term but I couldn't think of any others) knowing that! it's totally normal for people to suspect she was cheating on her husband when she has history/previous rumors about that and it's also totally normal for people to talk about that, since it contradicts the "girl's girl" image she built for herself over the years.
@@toriivegaa I was talking about Ariana's ex husband. He cheated on Ariana and she caught him sleeping with some other girl in their bed. Later they got divorced and he tried to treat to ruin Ariana's reputation. The things about Ethan and Ariana, That's none of my business and I don't know their whole story, only the parts of the media. But a relationship works in both ways... it's between two people making a decision. Ethan isn't innocent either since he gave in. but yet everyones only attacking Ariana... If he really loved his wife, he would have said no to Ariana. also don't believe everything the media tells you. it's never 100 truth. Remember that drama sells and raise the rates and that's the only thing the media wants.
No more like my makeup is on point, my complexion looks good, my face is sitting. I could be wrong but I think it’s in the same vein as “sitting pretty”
For such a detailed analysis of this song & its video, I feel a bit more research into your historical comparisons is in order - specifically the origin of Vogueing & the meaning of Springsteen's born in the USA...both minor niggles, but given the high quality of the rest of the video, those 2 things were distracting. BTW - I arrived here via youtube recommending your Quiet on Set video & wanted to see more of your content & was surprised to see only 3 videos! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you!
Bro what you deserve so many more followers. I’m bumbed that I can’t binge watch a bunch of your videos as rn you’ve only got 3 awesome videos up lol. Can’t wait to see how your channel grows !
Oh, this made me realize I always literally translated the „yes and“ directly into my mother tongue and didn‘t get the improv prompt reference at all. For me, „yes and“ always meant „so what?“ as in „so what if the allegations are true?“ lmao
That’s what I think Ariana meant by it. I think she just misinterpreted that. There’s a difference between “yes, and” and “yes, and?” The second one is literally “yes, and? So what? What if it is true? What are you gonna do about it?” And I think that’s what she meant by it.
I still do believe that Ariana meant "yes, and?" as in "so what?" as opposed to "yes, and" without a question mark. Following the meaning of "yes, and" without the "?" implies that she has more to tell and to explain about her actions, which she clearly has no intention of doing so.
Lol shit, I just watched all three in a row and was ready to watch the next one only to read your comment and realize there isn't a next one yet aaaaaggh
Yess I just watched the Sydney and Nickelodeon one I didn’t even know there were only 3 vids and I went on the account to see more 😂 can’t wait for more. These are well polished and captivating. 👏🏾
@@DennisTheInternationalMenaceyeah she looks like her sternum is coming out her chest from how thin she became. And she says now she's at her healthiest... She certainly doesn't look healthy to me but a victim of starvation.
When you’ve been abused to the extent she has as a child star, there are times she’s going to want to change her appearance because a)the core of her true self was robbed from her, and b) when all you see looking back at you in the mirror is a victim (which is quite likely right now with all the Dan Schneider videos being uploaded in this age of exposure,) sometimes you literally can’t bear to look at the person that happened to. I’m not saying either of them haven’t been terrible romantic partners from the sound of it, but one thing you’ll hear a lot in comments about the similarly traumatised Justin Bieber that you’ll possibly never hear said about Ariana, is “where the hell was her mother?” While Justin has been an s addict and had widely documented substance issues, Ariana is a classic love addict who gets all her validation from the first bloom of a whirlwind love affair, and has to have it at any cost. The entertainment world is a very messed up place full of messed up people, sadly.
plastic surgery, weight loss and different styling. i can't say whether she's had new work done, the weight loss and change in makeup could just be showcasing what's already been done more. i hope she's okay. consistent plastic surgery is often because of deep insecurities.
Side note, Madonna didn’t start vogueing, she saw it in the queer ballroom culture of the 1960’s-80’s and popularized it for mainstream audiences, to the disdain of many queer people of color, especially black queer people who actually started it as an art form.
4:35 Great video so far but Madonna did not invent voguing it was created by the Harlem ballroom scene in the 80s by queer pocs. Just had to get that out there
Thank you for saying this! Madonna first encountered voguing in 1989 after seeing dancers at the NYC nightclub The Sound Factory doing it. She just introduced the rest of the world to voguing, but it’s the Harlem LGBTQ ballroom community who deserves all the credit.
Why do you think people are so terrified of being cheated on? Anyone from the past, work, off the street can come into your relationship under the guise of another role and if you voice your discomfort, then that labels you as insecure and weak, pushing your partner into their influence even more. It doesn’t matter if someone is committed in another relationship, you can double date with them and someone can manipulate, infiltrate your family dynamic.
Slight correction -- "say that shit with your chest" is likely not a reference to Mac Miller. It's a pretty common phrase, and also has been in a NUMBER of hip hop songs.
That’s what I was thinking she meant by it. More like “if you have something to say, speak up and say it to me face to face” since she was in front of the critics who talk about her behind her back in the video.
@@zadieellington Oh, most definitely. I was just refuting that it was a reference to Miller. It's a pretty common phrase, it's like thinking whenever someone says the word "hallelujah" they're making a Jeff Buckley reference
She says that but then mutes her Instagram comments, and of course nobody can tell her nothing to her face since she's always hanging out with a team of bodyguards with her. Lol
One of the most frustrating parts of situation was that there was a lot of people online who were trying to justify why Ariana is in the wrong for this but you know her new man is completely in the wrong because he's not attractive. They wouldn't point out the fact that oh it's wrong to cheat because in attractive woman is with an unattractive man. Which is very frustrated. But the entire situation is disgusting from both people because they both broke up their own marriages. Another issue with the song is just as a bad song. And the album is not good. Like I love her music but this is just bad.
I like your content but I have a correction for you. Vogue was created by Paris DuPree NOT Madonna. Paris originated the dance form between the 60s-80s in Harlem NY within the drag community and it was displayed in the movie Paris is Burning which comes from the annual Paris is Burning ball. So that might throw off your Madonna fact a bit. I want to make sure we are not uplifting black and brown erasure and important cultural context for the art form.
u dont know these people, looks likr yall are the ones that dont have a brain and insecure for crticizing Ari for everything she does with no solid proof, just jealousy and hypocrisy...
Voguing started in the Harlem Ballroom Scene in the 1960's and was created by black and Latino LGBTQ communities. Madonna brought it to the masses in a palatable way, with a great song but it should never be overlooked that this was a queer black and Latino artform that started long before her music career and still goes on today. "Paris Is Burning" is a fantastic (if controversial) look at the Ballroom community in the 80's. *Controversial because the folks featured were poor, working class and/or s3x workers who had to sue to be paid "next to nothing" for their participation in the film*
this is whats gonna happen. the dude is gonna be with ariana for a a little bit and then she is gonna dumb him and move on to the next person. Then that dude is gonna go back to his highschool sweetheart begging to be part of the babies day to day life. they are both horrible people; however, at the end of the day it was that boy's responsibility to respect his long lasting supportive partner and child. (I say boy cause true men don't abandon their families to date a celebrity...)
The difference between the public and Her is we are mad about the whole situation because we Empathize with the person who was wronged in this situation, She doesn't care about other people's feelings because she thinks she can get everything she wants JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTED IT, Janette McCurdy called it. She's an entitled brat who does not care about anyone and anything as long as she have the advantage. For her to shove this up as "your projecting, my energy is mine, I'm protecting my peace" kinda vibe is honestly such a pick-me-im-the-main-character vibe, She's delusional
Not trying to defend anyone, but can we stop using the term 'home wrecker'? It takes all responsibility and agency away from the cheating spouse. The only people responsible for breaking up a relationship are the people in the relationship. Although I will say Ariana clearly doesn't respect other people's relationships, or her own.
Exactly.. it's an appalling characteristic to consistently go after those who are unavailable. I have known both men and women who do this, and they aren't good people. But the ones who throw away years of commitment, disregarding vows and family, walk away from their children..they are the ones who wrecked the home. Ariana ain't innocent here, but Ethan has ruined his family.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble but there are people out there who feel powerful and wholesome while destroying other people's relationships. That type of person, men or women, deserves the title of homewrecker.
We can’t be friends would’ve been such a better opener. It was positive and eternal sunshine themed, it covers the complications of love without rubbing the audience faces in her scandalous relationship.
Ariana just can’t help herself. She knew what she was putting out, in her twisted mind it’s more important to get a big ‘F U’ out to Lilly, and all the people w empathy who are critical ab the drama, than to avoid and ignore
the style and melodie are totally different.. someone litterally made a remix of both of the song (as a joke) and you could see how they don't fit at all.. one's rnb and one's house.. you have your opinions and maybe your ears isn't trained to both rnb and house music but please..
lagunya tentang mantan suaminya yang di duga g*y dan pernah terlihat di bar g*y dan rumor nya selingkuh sama cowok (aku lihat di twitter), alih-alih ngehujat ari nyuruh ke hal positif seperti lihatlah lirik "boy cmon put your lipstick on" itu nyuruh seseorang laki-laki untuk nge bebasin kemunafikan yang di buat dan "come on and walk this way through the fire" jalanilah rintangan atau cacian dan itu secara halus menyinggung mantan suaminya untuk jangan bersembunyi dalam hubungan stright dan jadilah diri sendiri, dan yes and? sendiri jelas kata-kata ari untuk mantan nya seperti jika ada orang yang hujat orientasi sex nya cukup bilang yes and? 🤣 ari sebenarnya memberi dukungan dan itu juga berlaku untuk orang banyak yang selama ini menyembunyikan jati diri dan orang orang yang menyembunyikan orientasi sex nya dalam hubungan palsu itu juga kejahatan, itu teori ku
With the editing, research, and structuring put into these videos you can tell this channel will blow up and is on it’s way to become one of the bigger celebrity tea voices
I don't mean to come out shallow, but compered to other men Ariana dated, Ethan is so basic looking, and we already know his personality isn't the greatest (literally cheated on his wife who just had a baby), so it's just the final proof I need to confidently feel it's actually some kind of a fetish for her. To take other women's men (especially if it's long term) to prove herself she's "better than her" and then go for the next victim, it's not even about the men directly, she doesn't have a type. The final Pick me boss. I feel like it's some kind of an unhealed trauma from Nickelodeon, where she constantly had to compete for attention with other co-stars in order to stay "Dan's favorite" 🤢 Maybe she was even groomed to believe her self worth only depends on the amount of male attention she gets, so now she's stuck in this loop. Which is very sad (even though the Nick thing is all speculations based on the documentary), but still doesn't excuse her from hurting other women...
I think she’s a extremely broken person. She seems very selfish, immature and insecure. Always tried to paint this “i’m a big feminist” as her truth where is so clear that she doesn’t give a fuck about other women. Also, even when I was a fan, something about her gave off very “poor me” vibes. She knows she’s privileged and her staff/team very meticulously pushed a clean image for her, for years, but I think now it became obvious for everybody that she can do anything and her fans will still support her no matter what.
Also are we just gonna ignore the lyrics of "one last time"? i mean... "I dont care if you got her in your heart, All I really care is you wake up in my arms, one last time i need to be the one who takes you home" I MEAN......
@@martafiordi think she works with writers. I've seen interviews where she said it's hard for her to put everything into song, so she'll basically write down snippets and journal and then work with writers to turn them into songs. So while she isn't the main writer, the feelings and ideas in the songs tend to come from her life.
Ari was up front about her ways when she came out with the song Break up with your girlfriend, Cuz i'm bored -"You can hit it in the mornin' like it's yours. I know it ain't right, but I don't care"
I think “my face is sitting” means it’s sitting naturally. She recently did a get ready with me where she stated she’s done with Botox and fillers and embracing her natural beauty
@@lessismore8533 read what I said above, she’s done getting that stuff. That stuff doesn’t last forever… she’s not getting it anymore and is going to age naturally for now on. Hope this helps lol
Also I think she harps on the "yes, and" as "go on.. as if I really care" Basically saying no matter how much you say or do it doesn't matter. Its like telling her audience go ahead and say what you want but I'm not listening nor caring. But just the song and line "break up with your boyfriend because I'm bored" and then adding on her history it's no wonder people say things.. Its all out there already. I get wanting to be happy but there are families being torn down also. As outsiders seeing the "view" so to speak it's not right whatsoever. Now per say the family shes torn or tearing to us there could be another side we are missing but we wouldn't even know considering everything being said is always back and forth and not direct nor truthful. So that is exactly why that time line is all screwed. And there are lies being said someway or another. Hopefully she comes clean and just admits hey these things happened and so on. It paints a bad picture though to say the least.
or is it just the people who make highlights in the media are rich and therefore most rich people seem bad lol?... im sure if you compared most people you would see that most rich people are similar to average people....if you said hollywood elites i would mostly agree with you though.
Someone already commented on this, but attributing voguing to Madonna is a big yikes. Hopefully you meant that she brought it to the mainstream, but not even Madonna would say it “came from” her song.
I absolutely love your style! You break things down in a way that I love. My takeaway is that we need to separate the artist from the art. Artists in her position usually have a full team behind them. Including song writers, music video directors, and PR teams. Often when their public lives are criticized we look for clues in their art, but they’re not always the ones in charge of what’s being produced. I don’t think we should take away responsibility for her personal actions, but music videos aren’t often the messages that we put into them.
''you shouldn't care about what's going on in my personal life'' is every celebrity's dream statement. i'm sorry to break it to them, but they chose this life for themselves - fame doesn't come only with the benefits. you can't only have the fans who are super supportive - you want people to are about you and to be invested in the real YOU, that's what makes a loyal fanbase and most money. and wow, who would have thought that with that comes criticism and those fans actually have brains and can switch on you if you did something bad?
I don't think Ive ever heard an Ariana Grande song - or not that I'd recognise, and the snippets included in this video are all so bland, but this analysis is fascinating. I'm astonished at how much effort went into the imagery. I paused at 18:32 to read the headlines, and was reminded of Guy Richie's explantion to his wife when he left her for Madonna - allegedly something along the lines of "but babe, ... she's *Madonna*" which is both hilarious and horrifying, and an indictment on who Ritchie is a human being. So I wonder if Grande is paying homage to Madonna in this domestic aspect as well as artistically?
@Maddie-eu8xv not just the looks . Looks , fame , riches and a certain ego boost " oh , I fd that really hot , famous pop singer " , it's like a milestone for them . And given that the entertainment industry draws a lot of narcissists in , it's a common happening.
there's only one thing I’m surprised wasn’t mentioned. In the beginning of the song, there is a distorted vocal from Ariana speculated to be saying "I just want happy, happy, happy..." "... wanna be happy, don't wanna be ethical". so disturbing. AND the red symbolizing the scarlet letter A, for adulterer. this is coming from a super fan btw. good job on the video, very interesting. ps I've heard your voice in youtube commentary videos before, and the editing style feels very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Just FYI, Voguing was an underground dance style by trans and queer people of color who weren’t allowed to dance and party freely as they are in the 80s. Madonna was very intentional in choosing this, and trying to share and express that sense of freedom and expression. (It didn’t sure discrimination or anything but for the era, it was huge. Watch Pose for a more recent and modern gaze and the amazing Paris is Burning documentary. It’s not just about dance but voguing itself, birthed from a shunned and discriminated people finding a way to celebrate and feel in a time of hate and rise of the aids epidemic. It is a beautiful and tragic history, voguing, that has become mainstream and accepted more, just like trans and queer people, but many don’t know its roots in struggle and oppression. ❤❤❤
Vogueing did NOT come from Madonna, Madonna took inspiration from ballroom culture which was created by the black and Latino LGBTQ community in Harlem who even held vogueing competitions. After the documentary “Paris is Burning” was released in the late 80s it introduced this to people outside of this community.
The guy could have said no. Actually it sounds like all of these guys could have easily said no and they chose not to. I highly doubt that she held a gun to any of their heads and forced them to cheat on their partners. She does sound tone deaf though.
she literally makes songs about her detailed personal life... she tells us details abt it thats why everyone cares.... if she were making classical compositions no one wld care abt her
The criticism and loss of fans is absolutely justified. Young women and girls see her as a role model and shes telling them its ok to be avoidant dismissive, control peoples views of you and take no accountability for toxic dodgy behaviour. She’s obviously immature and self entitled and doesnt care about how her behaviour impacts others as long as she gets what she wants. She also tries to make some of the song preach that she doeent care but if she didnt then why go through all this work to preach it? It’s obviously something she cares about because maybe some small part of her feels uncomfortable with being called out if she really didnt care she wouldnt have wrote all those lyrics and used all that deep imagery. Their relationship wont last like her past ones didnt and for good reason because shes a fool
“Controlling others views of you” is like the DEFINITION of gaslighting. I may not know Ariana personally but she DOES remind of a baby sibling I was forced to grow up with. He’s the youngest of 4 kids and though he maybe in his 20s, he still gives child vibes. If he has an issue with someone, instead of respectfully talking it out, he preferred to ARGUE at random times. He’s emotionally immature and I blame my mom for going the *easiest* on him since childhood. He also acts like I OWE him things all the time. Then acts confused why I don’t like him. He’s a textbook gaslighter..ALWAYS the victim. So I feel the same for Ariana. She obviously wasn’t told “no” enough by her parents ….
She essentially let everyone know, "I am as shitty of a human being as you think, as I've demonstrated countless of tines... yes, and?! You've ignored it before!" She is gaslighting everyone to forget and forgive b/c so what... you won't really hold her accountable or instill consequences. She claims to not care so much, but immensely cares enough to write a while song about it.
Im surprised to see that you are a new creator because your videos are very well made and your story telling is amazing, keep up the good work you are going to hit 100k subscribers quickly!
"Your energy is yours, mine is mine/Your business is yours, mine is mine" Okay, I'll keep my energy and my business away from Ariana's music, albums, concerts, advertisements, social media, and other projects. You don't get to criticize the public for caring about your life while also benefiting from the image you've built in front of them.
Ariana's video remind me that on Glee Naya did the Cold Hearted cover, it kinda gave me the idea that she was saying she did break relationships before, Naya's for one, don't know, it was what I thought about when I saw it 🤷🏻♀️
Oh yeah I forgot Naya covered Cold Hearted. She did such a fantastic job I can't believe I forgot. If that was what Ariana was doing that's MAD disrespectful considering Naya's now dead.
I don't know if you can, but you may want to try to clean up these captions, because they're not great. Ariana sings, "I'm just a fan of dark situations," and the captions? "I'm just a fan of dog shit." It's hilarious, but ouch.
I love this video! Slight correction, at 4:41 it’s the other way around. Vogueing evolved out of the Harlem ballroom scene in the 1960s, and the dance style inspired Madonna to make the song.
PSA: Madonna didn't start vogueing. She did several interviews when that album released, where she talked about getting inspired by underground clubbing during the 80's. Two of the artists she took inspiration from worked on the video, I don't remember if they were dancers or choreographers. Madonna however was the one who made it extremely trendy and took it worldwide. Born in the USA is about PTSD and the Vietnam War. NOT patriotism.
Went back to watch your previous videos after being introduced to your channel through your vid on JLo. This is such a GOOOOD visual/textual analysis! If I was still teaching, I would want to show this to my students. I’m loving your research, presentation, and fairness. 2 for 2 videos! Can’t wait to watch more! … Grande’s cheating history is super gross. Those fools ruined Wicked for me.
So based on Arianna‘s logic, I’m sure she has an entire playlist with nothing but Diddy, R. Kelly, and Chris Brown. If Epstein released music I’m sure she’d listen to it bc why would she care what anybody does in their personal life 😂. Ariana didn’t kill or physically hurt anybody but Jesus what kind of message is that?
You're all insane for caring what the lyrics are to a song she didn't even write. "She" is not saying anything at all with the lyrics, or the video. She is doing as instructed by the writers of this tabloid soap opera. Yes I'm aware she is technically given a writing credit. And yes the rest of the credits go to the same Swedish guys who write for literally every one of these singing mannequins. Considering they all sound exactly the same, as if written by the same people, its very clear that the singers' input is always minimal, or just a straight lie.
I knew a girl like this she could only date a guy of she could take him from someone else. It's a sad validation like you're so hot he broke his family for you. None of her relationships ever lasted.
I just discovered your channel and I love your in-depth analysis! I'm looking forward to more videos. ❤ As a huge AG fan (who has a similar body type), I like her style and music (esp. in the "positions era"), but I find her dating history really toxic.... I find it so scary that someone can be in a happy 10-year relationship, have a child with the "love of their life" and suddenly someone bursts into their life and ruins everything. I'm curious to see how long the relationship with Ethan will last....
Yikes…’Born in the USA’ is the last thing from a patriotic song. It’s about the service members of Vietnam being harassed, vilified, and targeted after leaving the military (this was incredibly common and happened to my dad). It’s about being made to serve one’s country either by being sold a false narrative or having no choice because you were drafted, and then having that same country hate you for it. This reminds me of when an anthropology professor of mine commented that people think ‘Fortunate Son’ is a patriotic song. Do people not listen to lyrics?!
Just rabbit hole watching all your videos and loving all the content, as a fellow dancer / theatre and history nerd I am so happy with the amount of research and knowledge put into this analysis- but also wanted to point out that drag queens invented vogueing and cold hearted definitely was also a copy in itself (hence the fosse reference) of “take off with us”, which is a weird and incredible video for anyone who hasn’t seen it- fosse is at the heart and soul of so many pop stars and their videos ❤ ie single ladies by Beyoncé is Mexican breakfast by bob fosse / Gwen verdon and Michael Jackson got his whole style from fosse (like him in the og little prince movie)
So, I watched this after the video you made about Drake Bell/cycle of abuse. There’s a lot I’ve been wondering about Ariana Grande after Quiet on Set came out. Maybe her jumping into these relationships full force, even her latest affair with a married man are further extensions of Schneider’s abuse. Looking for male validation, thinking of other women as threats, acting younger/more naive than she is…would love to see you make a video about Grande, Nickelodeon and the psychology of grooming for girls/women.
I mean, she has a right to live her life as she sees fit, and I have a right to judge it in that same capacity. And all I see is a deeply insecure woman who hasn't done any self-reflecting and is just chasing the highs of relationships rather than working on herself and finding joy in just *being* first. I don't think she's been able to truly live for herself since BEFORE her Nickelodeon days, and now she's trying to in a very disorganized way.
I used to love Arianna but her morals just turned me all the way off and her music fell off too . I seriously think she got messed up from when she used to work at Nickelodeon. Rumor was it she had always been loose though but hey it’s her life . I just don’t like when she messes with married or fully committed men. The video was stupid and she was definitely gaslighting folks . She just likes to pursue someone taken and then dump them to find another relationship to break up .
i need ⚪️ppl to start fact checking their videos fr 1st madonna invented vogue then Mac Miller came up with the phrase ‘say it with your chest’ ??? atp i’m just waiting for the next laughable ‘fact’ 😂😂😂
@@conveyabelt6964idk where "say it with your chest" comes from but I've heard it a long time ago. As for voguing, there's an article on National Museum of African American History and Culture titled "A Brief History of Voguing" if you're interested. Wikipedia has a page for Vogue (dance) where you could look at the cited sources for more information. Just note, voguing has ties to The Harlem Renaissance and originated amongst Black & Latino queer communities.
Literally I’m white but when she said that Ariana was referencing Mac Miller I was like- 💀 be so fr rn that is such a common term that originated from AAVE! And I didn’t even know Vogue wasn’t started by Madonna until reading the comments so I’m glad I did. She also completely misinterpreted “Born in the USA”. The song is literally a critique of the US not a praise of it 😭
The bigger thing with a (Ariana Grande) is, she can have any single guy that she wants, which makes the whole thing even worse. It's not like she's someone that couldn't find love, or a body.
at 13:25 when you mention ariana and greek mythology imagery an extra point for the disney singalong concert that was done during the covid stay at home times, she sang megara's song i wont say im in love girl is a huge fan of mythos :3
Bruce Springsteen's song "Born in the USA" is NOT about patriotism. It's about soldiers serving in Vietnam then coming home to dishonor and economic hardship. It's an anti-war anthem.
THANK YOU! Came here to find this. Can't believe that made it to the final cut in a video *about* song meanings/reading between the lines. Hysterical.
@@fatmusiclover hence why i doubt creators who do "research." Like, i just completed all of my work for grad school! i question everything i consume
Its an odd choice to use as an example, not to mention it being a bad example
I am a little ill this supposed deep dive got the Boss so wrong.
I thumbs downed 👎🏻 this video because of the Born in the USA jab. Talk about being tone deaf.
I'm just waiting for them to break up this isn't a relationship that'll last. It's just infatuation and once that feeling is gone Ariana isn't known for sticking around.
Could be like LeeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian. Idk if they're still together but they were both married when they got together, divorced their spouses and got married.
and like.... the kid?? don't see it ending well
cant wait to see how spongebob will react. he left his wife for a fling that def wont last.
Imagine abandoning your family, your Highschool sweetheart and your new baby, for what you MUST know deep down won’t last. I’m certain that in his quiet moments alone, the guilt and anxiety kills him. He probably has to keep himself in a constant state of delusion just to not go crazy. He has to keep lying to himself, telling himself that he’s different and it’ll last. But deep down, he knows.
He's not going to know what hit him. This is what he is going to be known for. Forever. SMDH.
I feel like Ariana loves the infatuation/honeymoon stage of love but doesn't know what to do when the fireworks fade and you settle into daily life. Which is both sad, cause living life with my husband and best friend is just the best and I wish that for everyone, and makes for constant disappointment. And allegations of home wrecking apparently....
exactly!!
This is so true. I have a friend like that and her life is a constant revolving door of infatuation and misery.
She clearly has mental issues , cuz that’s not normal. She should get help instead of calling everyone a hater , or getting defensive for her own actions. You are very right
Like she has already said "i see it, i like it, i want it, i bought it"
That's cause she has never really been single for more than a couple of months and not even in a long term relationship, she just kept jumping from one relationship to another one ever since she was a teenager. We all need some time to be single (especially after a relationship just ended) to work on ourselves and learn to be happy with ourselves so that eventually we can have an healthy relationship with someone else if we want, but she doesn't want to do that, she doesn't want to be single for long, cause I believe that deep down she doesn't like herself so she needs the constant reassurance that at least other people like her and that she can make any man fall for her, but as you said after the infatuation/honeymoon phase is over she doesn't know how to handle a long term relationship because she needs that feeling of having someone who is head over heels for her again, and so she breaks up and immediately gets with someone else.
“Vouging” actually existed before Madonna’s song
I was coming here to say this. Thank you!
Yes, Madonna appropriated voguing from New York Black and Latino drag culture from the 1980s
Yes! I got whiplash from that statement. She certainly popularised it in the mainstream, and she openly talked about the new york clubs & the queens it originated with. I vaguely recall some of them were in the video, but i might have hallucinated that, i was a long time ago.
Yeah fact checking a lot of statements from some of her videos you can see she heavily speculates or just outright spurts out misinformation. And I don’t think it’s intentional but just from lazy or lousy researching
@@camrynmax6703yea and I kinda didn’t want to finish the video cause of that statement which is a shame cause some of her other videos I stumbled into actually is well researched and not biased. It’s a shame really.
This was a really really good analysis! You said so many things that I hadn’t thought of myself, but really resonated with me. One thing that I wanted to mention that I kind of noticed towards the end was that it seems to me that Ariana knows that some of her most loyal fan base is LGBT. That being said, being LGBT myself, it kind of felt like she was trying to dog whistle her LGBT audience. I think that’s why it felt so disjointed because I’m not sure that the “born this way love yourself” moment at the beginning of the song was authentic. The “I love LGBT” message was so random that it almost felt like she was calling that audience to her defense by appealing to the lack of lgbt love in media. Felt very calculated to me.
She only assimilates facets of different demographics as they suit her... Isn't that a mental disorder by some defintion? Or is that just Hollywood 😒
It's kind of a bad example to use Springsteen as you did because a lot of people mistakenly think it's actually a song about patriotism when it's kinda the opposite via Americans being disillusioned in the Reagan era.
Its about Vietnam vets and what they faced when they came back home.
all they had to do was look at the lyrics to the Springsteen song (born in the usa). that is literally all they had to do to avoid sounding ridiculous. i'm just so done with lazy content. also, they need to understand that you don't have to say "the 1980s." literally nobody thinks they're talking about the 1880s. i never use this term but this content is the definition of cringe. especially the madonna part honestly. furthermore, Christian Breslauer is the one who came up with the mythology and numerology references. The industry is rife with them, and they exist in literally every pop music video. read some vigilant c itizen articles sometime. ugh ugh ugh. also speaking as a fascia expert they really need to stop furrowing their brow so much while they talk or they're absolutely going to be aging like garbage. I feel like this video was created as one massive trigger for me lmao
@@imonislandtime maybe the trigger is being judge for infidelity to someone you used to love [8:30-18:06] The Eternal Sunshine is reference to our edenic fall from grace & though we've forgotten what our true love is, it doesn't stop us from being dissatisfied with every other substitute. Hence adultery, cheating, and political intrigue at every turn.
Odd how this young lady even has the ability to know that cheating on your spouse is not good, no matter how young & beautiful one is.. [8:30-19:31] Red light is cleansing, not cooking, healing experience by altering reality or perception of right & wrong.
[22:37-27:09-29:43] tone-deaf & willful ignorance [25:10-26:22] it's not even really singing so much as talking.
Though I'm unfamiliar with AG's "music," witchcraft is manipulation but incantation stylized singing & wand magic spell is dead on [30:33] ..they don't actually agree with the message [improvisation], they are just brainwashed now. [32:15]
The second it is over the blinds/curtains falls & the light shines in [exposing her lies], light is truth in the Bible. [33:40] Bruce Springsteen comment was a throw-away, to highlight how incomparable these two music videos are.
[34:57] Excellent analogy, but AG's mistaken assumption because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas is a lie & is only trying to rear its ugly head virus into idolizing what Proverbs calls dragging one's soul to sheol [death & eternal torment]. We see this play out with people like Angelina Jolie, as a homewrecker who was never accepted by her peers in Hollywood. Demi Moore seems to be treated like she has contracted the plague as well, though that one is puzzling why exactly..
As someone already mentioned in another forum, he once knew someone who had commited a sex crime [child molester] & 50 years later as the two met over a volunteer position at a charity organization, the man was eventually recognized as a convict & his face was plastered all over the internet & newspaper. And the guy who had befriended the guy over altruism was shocked, no flabbergasted that this guy's sin followed him even after 50 years since his crime. Stating in no uncertain terms: Do not to think your indiscretion won't damage & follow you for the rest of your life. This was true of King David, it was also true of his son King Solomon. No sin goes unpunished, not even in modern day. Though I know the healing lamp, enter the furnace comment belies an heart that still thinks it's okay.
Society has normalized divorce & sexual liaisons for quite some time. I give her an A+ for citing as much as she has. Clearly she's very engaging in her analysis, and she is not garbage, no one is. [17:08] Yes & focus is nice touch to tie in with improv, not improve.
Black fishing, Asian fishing, and married men fishing!
LOL
😂😂😂 she’s always fishing
Singing "be yourself and do what makes you happy" when in her case it means messing up other people's intimacy is beyond tone deaf. She's admitting her happiness is above basic human empathy. Which goes against the "girl's girl" sweet persona she's created for herself. She's also avoiding to take responsability for ANY of her actions. There are pretty valid critics regarding her black/east asian fishing and her tendency to cheat & date men who are already in a relationship. These critics have nothing to do with projection, baby
YES this was my take away from all of her recent actions. This is a pattern for her.
Later on this song, she also states like who do you care who D I ride….That D was married to me if a man is dating someone they’re off-limits. He totally wrecked his relationship. I get that. I think you know what I mean I agree
As a mother I just couldn't imagine having that happen. But then for it to be played out on the world stage!?? Goodness my heart breaks for the mother and the child. That is about as dirty slimy and evil as someone can get. That baby is gonna get big fast, and sadly he will be able to see how everything went down with his parents. As a wife and mother I cannot for the life of me begin to grasp how someone isn't only ok with doing that but they are literally cashing in on ripping a family apart. Had she never come into his life, sure the chance of them divorcing anyway is likely. BUT imo it probably would have come years later and the possibility of it being amicable is good. If you're not ending your marriage because of another person then the opportunities for you to understand what you should be doing for the family you created are a lot clearer to see. I truly can't even speak on it anymore, it's so sad. God bless this young woman and her baby boy 🙏🏼❤️🩹
I don't get how her stans actively choose to ignore any of this as if nothing happened. They are instead choosing to believe her songs which hardly qualify as proof.
@@omnoms2445I mean Ariana Stan’s are the perfect example of celeb worship..
"who cares, as long as im happy!" What about the happiness of your ex husband, his soon to be ex wife, and his baby? So, only Ariana's happiness matters, no one elses.
She's a narcissist, that's how a narcissist thinks
To be honest it just surprises me that it took people this long to realize who she is. I haven't listened to her songs for a couple of years now (never was a big fan) and definitely haven't kept up on her private life. But since she is one of the biggest personalities in the world I couldn't avoid the rumors and hit songs completely.
To me it was quite clear for a while that she is a narcissist who will just get whoever she wants, enjoy her time with them and then dump them. Make believe she is a helpless romantic who truly fell in love with every one of her boyfriends is being way too generous. There are men and women who enjoy stealing someone's spouse, because they feel powerful and wanted. She certainly fits the stereotype. I am just sad all of these guys she left in her wake are so stupid they didn't see through her and gave up their long term relationships for a fling. I mean I would bet money Ethan Slater will be just another ex in 2 years. Good job for fucking up your marriage and your kids life Ethan.
Her husband is the one who cheated on her... which leads to the reason to her divorce
@@DC-bg5vy if you're talking about her ex husband (don't know his name), I don't have a place to talk because I'm not her fan & don't know about her personal life other than this scandal.
But if you're trying to say that the fault is entirely ethan's, you're sooo wrong. Yes, of course he cheated on his wife and that's obviously wrong... but ariana *knew* he was married and still chose to 'steal him' (not the best term but I couldn't think of any others) knowing that! it's totally normal for people to suspect she was cheating on her husband when she has history/previous rumors about that and it's also totally normal for people to talk about that, since it contradicts the "girl's girl" image she built for herself over the years.
@@toriivegaa I was talking about Ariana's ex husband. He cheated on Ariana and she caught him sleeping with some other girl in their bed. Later they got divorced and he tried to treat to ruin Ariana's reputation. The things about Ethan and Ariana, That's none of my business and I don't know their whole story, only the parts of the media. But a relationship works in both ways... it's between two people making a decision. Ethan isn't innocent either since he gave in. but yet everyones only attacking Ariana... If he really loved his wife, he would have said no to Ariana. also don't believe everything the media tells you. it's never 100 truth. Remember that drama sells and raise the rates and that's the only thing the media wants.
“My face is sitting” is also ballroom lingo she’s “borrowing”
Is that like what some ppl call RBF (resting bleep face)?
No more like my makeup is on point, my complexion looks good, my face is sitting. I could be wrong but I think it’s in the same vein as “sitting pretty”
Exactly, it’s like “my face card doesn’t decline”, right?
Yes!
For such a detailed analysis of this song & its video, I feel a bit more research into your historical comparisons is in order - specifically the origin of Vogueing & the meaning of Springsteen's born in the USA...both minor niggles, but given the high quality of the rest of the video, those 2 things were distracting. BTW - I arrived here via youtube recommending your Quiet on Set video & wanted to see more of your content & was surprised to see only 3 videos! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you!
Yuuuup! I came here to say “Born in the USA” is anti-war and anti-blind/glorified patriotism…
Bro what you deserve so many more followers. I’m bumbed that I can’t binge watch a bunch of your videos as rn you’ve only got 3 awesome videos up lol. Can’t wait to see how your channel grows !
Same! 😊
Same exact thoughts before coming to the comments
right she figured out the algorithm too early
Same!
Busy with the last video 😢 wishing there were more
Oh, this made me realize I always literally translated the „yes and“ directly into my mother tongue and didn‘t get the improv prompt reference at all. For me, „yes and“ always meant „so what?“ as in „so what if the allegations are true?“ lmao
That’s what I think Ariana meant by it. I think she just misinterpreted that. There’s a difference between “yes, and” and “yes, and?” The second one is literally “yes, and? So what? What if it is true? What are you gonna do about it?” And I think that’s what she meant by it.
Same here! In Serbian it’s “Da, i?“ it’s usually said in a situation like “yes, I did do it, and?”
I still do believe that Ariana meant "yes, and?" as in "so what?" as opposed to "yes, and" without a question mark. Following the meaning of "yes, and" without the "?" implies that she has more to tell and to explain about her actions, which she clearly has no intention of doing so.
Watched all your videos (all 3 lol) and you are certainly going to explode soon. Great content!
Lol shit, I just watched all three in a row and was ready to watch the next one only to read your comment and realize there isn't a next one yet aaaaaggh

The British vogue cover doesn’t even look like her. She doesn’t even look like her right now it’s wild
She just stopped tanning to look biracial.
She is beyond unrecognizable. Not just w/the blonde hair, But w/her hair being down in general.
@@DennisTheInternationalMenaceyeah she looks like her sternum is coming out her chest from how thin she became. And she says now she's at her healthiest... She certainly doesn't look healthy to me but a victim of starvation.
When you’ve been abused to the extent she has as a child star, there are times she’s going to want to change her appearance because a)the core of her true self was robbed from her, and b) when all you see looking back at you in the mirror is a victim (which is quite likely right now with all the Dan Schneider videos being uploaded in this age of exposure,) sometimes you literally can’t bear to look at the person that happened to. I’m not saying either of them haven’t been terrible romantic partners from the sound of it, but one thing you’ll hear a lot in comments about the similarly traumatised Justin Bieber that you’ll possibly never hear said about Ariana, is “where the hell was her mother?” While Justin has been an s addict and had widely documented substance issues, Ariana is a classic love addict who gets all her validation from the first bloom of a whirlwind love affair, and has to have it at any cost. The entertainment world is a very messed up place full of messed up people, sadly.
plastic surgery, weight loss and different styling. i can't say whether she's had new work done, the weight loss and change in makeup could just be showcasing what's already been done more. i hope she's okay. consistent plastic surgery is often because of deep insecurities.
Ariana can get any man she wants, but Ethan lost everything... I hope his wife doesn't take him back, he doesn't deserve even a bit of forgiveness
Umm no, she can’t. Her wealth and fame are the drawcards and history has shown these aren’t enough.
Side note, Madonna didn’t start vogueing, she saw it in the queer ballroom culture of the 1960’s-80’s and popularized it for mainstream audiences, to the disdain of many queer people of color, especially black queer people who actually started it as an art form.
4:35 Great video so far but Madonna did not invent voguing it was created by the Harlem ballroom scene in the 80s by queer pocs. Just had to get that out there
Thank you for saying this!
Madonna first encountered voguing in 1989 after seeing dancers at the NYC nightclub The Sound Factory doing it. She just introduced the rest of the world to voguing, but it’s the Harlem LGBTQ ballroom community who deserves all the credit.
Haha I came in the comments to see if anyone would point this out and I'm happy to see how many people are correcting her😂
It’s funny to hear “stop caring about my life” from somebody who wrote a song about that and whose life and success depends on audience
Why do you think people are so terrified of being cheated on? Anyone from the past, work, off the street can come into your relationship under the guise of another role and if you voice your discomfort, then that labels you as insecure and weak, pushing your partner into their influence even more. It doesn’t matter if someone is committed in another relationship, you can double date with them and someone can manipulate, infiltrate your family dynamic.
Slight correction -- "say that shit with your chest" is likely not a reference to Mac Miller. It's a pretty common phrase, and also has been in a NUMBER of hip hop songs.
That’s what I was thinking she meant by it. More like “if you have something to say, speak up and say it to me face to face” since she was in front of the critics who talk about her behind her back in the video.
@@zadieellington Oh, most definitely. I was just refuting that it was a reference to Miller. It's a pretty common phrase, it's like thinking whenever someone says the word "hallelujah" they're making a Jeff Buckley reference
She says that but then mutes her Instagram comments, and of course nobody can tell her nothing to her face since she's always hanging out with a team of bodyguards with her. Lol
One of the most frustrating parts of situation was that there was a lot of people online who were trying to justify why Ariana is in the wrong for this but you know her new man is completely in the wrong because he's not attractive. They wouldn't point out the fact that oh it's wrong to cheat because in attractive woman is with an unattractive man. Which is very frustrated. But the entire situation is disgusting from both people because they both broke up their own marriages. Another issue with the song is just as a bad song. And the album is not good. Like I love her music but this is just bad.
I was never an Ariana fan but even I know her former albums were better…
Also “yes, and” in improv is very different from “yes, and?” in AAVE/Black Gay culture. Ari knows what she’s doing/referencing.
THIS! Most people don't even know what AAVE stands for, but that may just be my education.
I feel like most “new” slang is just AAVE and been around lol
@@zoraimancrews1647 black culture is the backbone for American modern culture
Truly!
What does AAVE stand for and what does Yes, and? Mean in that culture?
I like your content but I have a correction for you. Vogue was created by Paris DuPree NOT Madonna. Paris originated the dance form between the 60s-80s in Harlem NY within the drag community and it was displayed in the movie Paris is Burning which comes from the annual Paris is Burning ball. So that might throw off your Madonna fact a bit. I want to make sure we are not uplifting black and brown erasure and important cultural context for the art form.
This.
Anyone with a brain can see that Ariana Grande is deeply insecure.
u dont know these people, looks likr yall are the ones that dont have a brain and insecure for crticizing Ari for everything she does with no solid proof, just jealousy and hypocrisy...
Voguing started in the Harlem Ballroom Scene in the 1960's and was created by black and Latino LGBTQ communities. Madonna brought it to the masses in a palatable way, with a great song but it should never be overlooked that this was a queer black and Latino artform that started long before her music career and still goes on today. "Paris Is Burning" is a fantastic (if controversial) look at the Ballroom community in the 80's. *Controversial because the folks featured were poor, working class and/or s3x workers who had to sue to be paid "next to nothing" for their participation in the film*
this is whats gonna happen. the dude is gonna be with ariana for a a little bit and then she is gonna dumb him and move on to the next person. Then that dude is gonna go back to his highschool sweetheart begging to be part of the babies day to day life.
they are both horrible people; however, at the end of the day it was that boy's responsibility to respect his long lasting supportive partner and child. (I say boy cause true men don't abandon their families to date a celebrity...)
yeah I think so too he will go back
yes, men do this behavior, downplaying his maturity is counterproductive
The difference between the public and Her is we are mad about the whole situation because we Empathize with the person who was wronged in this situation, She doesn't care about other people's feelings because she thinks she can get everything she wants JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTED IT, Janette McCurdy called it. She's an entitled brat who does not care about anyone and anything as long as she have the advantage.
For her to shove this up as "your projecting, my energy is mine, I'm protecting my peace" kinda vibe is honestly such a pick-me-im-the-main-character vibe, She's delusional
There is no way that gremlin Ethan guy is worth fighting over, what the fuck? Lmao.
I’m trying to understand the fascination. lol. This is going to be a phase she looks back on and just shakes her head at. 😆
Right??! She´s going to a mediatic war and career decline for that guy. And I bet he´s going to embarrass her so bad when they break up...
she has weird taste, like this guy, Pete and Mac looked dirty to me
Not trying to defend anyone, but can we stop using the term 'home wrecker'? It takes all responsibility and agency away from the cheating spouse. The only people responsible for breaking up a relationship are the people in the relationship. Although I will say Ariana clearly doesn't respect other people's relationships, or her own.
Exactly.. it's an appalling characteristic to consistently go after those who are unavailable. I have known both men and women who do this, and they aren't good people. But the ones who throw away years of commitment, disregarding vows and family, walk away from their children..they are the ones who wrecked the home. Ariana ain't innocent here, but Ethan has ruined his family.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble but there are people out there who feel powerful and wholesome while destroying other people's relationships. That type of person, men or women, deserves the title of homewrecker.
I’m glad you added, “or her own” because while I do agree with you in general, she herself is also a cheater
….. she’s a homewrecker….
Not when both of them are being called home wreckers. No.
We can’t be friends would’ve been such a better opener. It was positive and eternal sunshine themed, it covers the complications of love without rubbing the audience faces in her scandalous relationship.
Ariana just can’t help herself. She knew what she was putting out, in her twisted mind it’s more important to get a big ‘F U’ out to Lilly, and all the people w empathy who are critical ab the drama, than to avoid and ignore
I don't normally do this (because I'm gay and introverted), but GOSH YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
I adore your hair and makeup so much in this video!! AAHHHH❤
Ikr!!! I wish i can rock that hair like she does!! ❤
“Thank u Next” and “Yes, And” are so similar they could probably be played on top of each other.
the style and melodie are totally different.. someone litterally made a remix of both of the song (as a joke) and you could see how they don't fit at all.. one's rnb and one's house.. you have your opinions and maybe your ears isn't trained to both rnb and house music but please..
@@AnthoNy-vq8bv Thank you for your service!
The worst thing is that this child may one day see all these videos
May? It's guaranteed atp
I can't wait for the teas that she'll serve on eternal sunshine 😭🔥
How much more can she spill?! 😂
lagunya tentang mantan suaminya yang di duga g*y dan pernah terlihat di bar g*y dan rumor nya selingkuh sama cowok (aku lihat di twitter), alih-alih ngehujat ari nyuruh ke hal positif seperti lihatlah lirik "boy cmon put your lipstick on" itu nyuruh seseorang laki-laki untuk nge bebasin kemunafikan yang di buat dan "come on and walk this way through the fire" jalanilah rintangan atau cacian dan itu secara halus menyinggung mantan suaminya untuk jangan bersembunyi dalam hubungan stright dan jadilah diri sendiri, dan yes and? sendiri jelas kata-kata ari untuk mantan nya seperti jika ada orang yang hujat orientasi sex nya cukup bilang yes and? 🤣 ari sebenarnya memberi dukungan dan itu juga berlaku untuk orang banyak yang selama ini menyembunyikan jati diri dan orang orang yang menyembunyikan orientasi sex nya dalam hubungan palsu itu juga kejahatan, itu teori ku
Your analysis is awesome, it’s also cool how she just went back to stone like she’s just going to do it again
She always does it again!
With the editing, research, and structuring put into these videos you can tell this channel will blow up and is on it’s way to become one of the bigger celebrity tea voices
I don't mean to come out shallow, but compered to other men Ariana dated, Ethan is so basic looking, and we already know his personality isn't the greatest (literally cheated on his wife who just had a baby), so it's just the final proof I need to confidently feel it's actually some kind of a fetish for her. To take other women's men (especially if it's long term) to prove herself she's "better than her" and then go for the next victim, it's not even about the men directly, she doesn't have a type. The final Pick me boss.
I feel like it's some kind of an unhealed trauma from Nickelodeon, where she constantly had to compete for attention with other co-stars in order to stay "Dan's favorite" 🤢 Maybe she was even groomed to believe her self worth only depends on the amount of male attention she gets, so now she's stuck in this loop. Which is very sad (even though the Nick thing is all speculations based on the documentary), but still doesn't excuse her from hurting other women...
I think she’s a extremely broken person. She seems very selfish, immature and insecure. Always tried to paint this “i’m a big feminist” as her truth where is so clear that she doesn’t give a fuck about other women. Also, even when I was a fan, something about her gave off very “poor me” vibes. She knows she’s privileged and her staff/team very meticulously pushed a clean image for her, for years, but I think now it became obvious for everybody that she can do anything and her fans will still support her no matter what.
@@juhwtfno. Her team has always worked overtime, and that has shown for years.
All this fuss over Ethan, who looks like a ventriloquist dummy?????
Also are we just gonna ignore the lyrics of "one last time"? i mean... "I dont care if you got her in your heart, All I really care is you wake up in my arms, one last time i need to be the one who takes you home" I MEAN......
Oh she writes her own lyrics? I thought she was a singer/ performer
@@martafiordi think she works with writers. I've seen interviews where she said it's hard for her to put everything into song, so she'll basically write down snippets and journal and then work with writers to turn them into songs. So while she isn't the main writer, the feelings and ideas in the songs tend to come from her life.
Hey, I really like how you cover things.
I'm glad you actually do your research. Remind me of that Sloan guy.
Great channel! 👍🏾
Actually the “body shamming” is about people saying she’s too thin and looks borderline ill with that blonde hair that doesn’t look good
Great research, very articulate and educated...hope your channel blows up.
Except doesn’t know where voguing comes from
Educated on celebrities ☠️ ok 👍
Ari was up front about her ways when she came out with the song Break up with your girlfriend, Cuz i'm bored -"You can hit it in the mornin' like it's yours. I know it ain't right, but I don't care"
I’m so glad I saw your channel! I love the style, the background and you are very easy to follow.
I think “my face is sitting” means it’s sitting naturally. She recently did a get ready with me where she stated she’s done with Botox and fillers and embracing her natural beauty
I don’t judge ppl who get stuff done bit I dint think it’s embracing your natural beauty if you get fillers and stuff..
Please .... What natural beauty. She has already done surgery so her natural beauty has been done for long...
Haha let me clarify. She’s no longer getting Botox and fillers and is going to age naturally for now on
@@lessismore8533 read what I said above, she’s done getting that stuff. That stuff doesn’t last forever… she’s not getting it anymore and is going to age naturally for now on. Hope this helps lol
@@HereDiianas yeah I get that… she says she’s done with that. Fillers and Botox don’t last. Hope this helps explain what I meant
Also I think she harps on the "yes, and" as "go on.. as if I really care" Basically saying no matter how much you say or do it doesn't matter. Its like telling her audience go ahead and say what you want but I'm not listening nor caring. But just the song and line "break up with your boyfriend because I'm bored" and then adding on her history it's no wonder people say things.. Its all out there already. I get wanting to be happy but there are families being torn down also. As outsiders seeing the "view" so to speak it's not right whatsoever. Now per say the family shes torn or tearing to us there could be another side we are missing but we wouldn't even know considering everything being said is always back and forth and not direct nor truthful. So that is exactly why that time line is all screwed. And there are lies being said someway or another. Hopefully she comes clean and just admits hey these things happened and so on. It paints a bad picture though to say the least.
I am sorry, but unironically using the phrase “stole a husband”. Are you ok? Husbands have agency, they CHOOSE TO WALK AWAY
Yes but Ariana is still guilty in her own way…
Hi
Chill out
I love you because you are smart
@@lessismore8533All because she liked a boy?
“Is Ariana grande a bad person”
Yea most rich famous people are not all but the majority are
True..
or is it just the people who make highlights in the media are rich and therefore most rich people seem bad lol?... im sure if you compared most people you would see that most rich people are similar to average people....if you said hollywood elites i would mostly agree with you though.
Someone already commented on this, but attributing voguing to Madonna is a big yikes. Hopefully you meant that she brought it to the mainstream, but not even Madonna would say it “came from” her song.
it’s borderline impossible for me to empathize with ariana fans when her music is so boring white bread and everything about her seems fraudulent
I was a fan of her until now, and even the rhymes in "yes, and?" is so lazy... she was just deseperate to say "I dont care, lalalalala"...
@@rbcbcsEXACTLY..
I never liked her lol..
So your opinion doesn't matter okay if you don't like like her you don't like her you're all just a bunch of lame taylor swift fans
@@taneshataneshalinga2141 you sound like a teenager so i’m going to let this taylor swift comment go. They’re both stupid industry bitches in my eyes.
I absolutely love your style!
You break things down in a way that I love.
My takeaway is that we need to separate the artist from the art.
Artists in her position usually have a full team behind them. Including song writers, music video directors, and PR teams.
Often when their public lives are criticized we look for clues in their art, but they’re not always the ones in charge of what’s being produced.
I don’t think we should take away responsibility for her personal actions, but music videos aren’t often the messages that we put into them.
your channel is so underrated for the high quality and in depth content u provide, hope u grow and do amazing 💗💗
''you shouldn't care about what's going on in my personal life'' is every celebrity's dream statement. i'm sorry to break it to them, but they chose this life for themselves - fame doesn't come only with the benefits. you can't only have the fans who are super supportive - you want people to are about you and to be invested in the real YOU, that's what makes a loyal fanbase and most money. and wow, who would have thought that with that comes criticism and those fans actually have brains and can switch on you if you did something bad?
girl!!! your vids are so well made and you deserve so much more recognition!!!
I don't think Ive ever heard an Ariana Grande song - or not that I'd recognise, and the snippets included in this video are all so bland, but this analysis is fascinating. I'm astonished at how much effort went into the imagery.
I paused at 18:32 to read the headlines, and was reminded of Guy Richie's explantion to his wife when he left her for Madonna - allegedly something along the lines of "but babe, ... she's *Madonna*" which is both hilarious and horrifying, and an indictment on who Ritchie is a human being. So I wonder if Grande is paying homage to Madonna in this domestic aspect as well as artistically?
lollll incredible
never heard the whole “ariana broke up mac & his sweetheart” sigh, i didn’t know I could dislike her even more
She's broken up numerous relationships! I'm pretty sure everyone she has dated was in a relationship when she decided she wanted them.
@@marniekilbourne608that's highly problematic
@Maddie-eu8xv not just the looks . Looks , fame , riches and a certain ego boost " oh , I fd that really hot , famous pop singer " , it's like a milestone for them . And given that the entertainment industry draws a lot of narcissists in , it's a common happening.
there's only one thing I’m surprised wasn’t mentioned. In the beginning of the song, there is a distorted vocal from Ariana speculated to be saying "I just want happy, happy, happy..." "... wanna be happy, don't wanna be ethical". so disturbing. AND the red symbolizing the scarlet letter A, for adulterer. this is coming from a super fan btw. good job on the video, very interesting.
ps I've heard your voice in youtube commentary videos before, and the editing style feels very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
When she said “face sitting” she was just using aave the wrong way. We typically use it when someone’s butt looks nice. “That ahh sittin”
That term has another meaning. 😅
Just FYI, Voguing was an underground dance style by trans and queer people of color who weren’t allowed to dance and party freely as they are in the 80s. Madonna was very intentional in choosing this, and trying to share and express that sense of freedom and expression. (It didn’t sure discrimination or anything but for the era, it was huge. Watch Pose for a more recent and modern gaze and the amazing Paris is Burning documentary. It’s not just about dance but voguing itself, birthed from a shunned and discriminated people finding a way to celebrate and feel in a time of hate and rise of the aids epidemic.
It is a beautiful and tragic history, voguing, that has become mainstream and accepted more, just like trans and queer people, but many don’t know its roots in struggle and oppression. ❤❤❤
Vogueing did NOT come from Madonna, Madonna took inspiration from ballroom culture which was created by the black and Latino LGBTQ community in Harlem who even held vogueing competitions. After the documentary “Paris is Burning” was released in the late 80s it introduced this to people outside of this community.
Im loving your videos already omg, cant wait to see more!!
The guy could have said no.
Actually it sounds like all of these guys could have easily said no and they chose not to. I highly doubt that she held a gun to any of their heads and forced them to cheat on their partners.
She does sound tone deaf though.
Finally someone says this. Ari is def in the wrong too but these guys aren't innocent little lambs. Real scummy sounding tbh.
she literally makes songs about her detailed personal life... she tells us details abt it thats why everyone cares.... if she were making classical compositions no one wld care abt her
Loving your videos! Can’t wait for more!
The tuning fork reminds me of Vampire Diaries - a siren using a ‘magic wand’ type like u said, to cast a spell or brainwash
The criticism and loss of fans is absolutely justified. Young women and girls see her as a role model and shes telling them its ok to be avoidant dismissive, control peoples views of you and take no accountability for toxic dodgy behaviour. She’s obviously immature and self entitled and doesnt care about how her behaviour impacts others as long as she gets what she wants. She also tries to make some of the song preach that she doeent care but if she didnt then why go through all this work to preach it? It’s obviously something she cares about because maybe some small part of her feels uncomfortable with being called out if she really didnt care she wouldnt have wrote all those lyrics and used all that deep imagery. Their relationship wont last like her past ones didnt and for good reason because shes a fool
“Controlling others views of you” is like the DEFINITION of gaslighting. I may not know Ariana personally but she DOES remind of a baby sibling I was forced to grow up with. He’s the youngest of 4 kids and though he maybe in his 20s, he still gives child vibes. If he has an issue with someone, instead of respectfully talking it out, he preferred to ARGUE at random times. He’s emotionally immature and I blame my mom for going the *easiest* on him since childhood. He also acts like I OWE him things all the time. Then acts confused why I don’t like him. He’s a textbook gaslighter..ALWAYS the victim. So I feel the same for Ariana. She obviously wasn’t told “no” enough by her parents ….
She essentially let everyone know, "I am as shitty of a human being as you think, as I've demonstrated countless of tines... yes, and?! You've ignored it before!" She is gaslighting everyone to forget and forgive b/c so what... you won't really hold her accountable or instill consequences. She claims to not care so much, but immensely cares enough to write a while song about it.
Im surprised to see that you are a new creator because your videos are very well made and your story telling is amazing, keep up the good work you are going to hit 100k subscribers quickly!
Really appreciate that! Thanks so much!
It pisses me off that people took her side over Victoria Justice and Ari considered one of the meanest celebs out there.
Great analysis!! I learned so much about this video that I didn’t notice! Keep up the good work ❤
"Your energy is yours, mine is mine/Your business is yours, mine is mine"
Okay, I'll keep my energy and my business away from Ariana's music, albums, concerts, advertisements, social media, and other projects. You don't get to criticize the public for caring about your life while also benefiting from the image you've built in front of them.
Ariana's video remind me that on Glee Naya did the Cold Hearted cover, it kinda gave me the idea that she was saying she did break relationships before, Naya's for one, don't know, it was what I thought about when I saw it 🤷🏻♀️
Oh yeah I forgot Naya covered Cold Hearted. She did such a fantastic job I can't believe I forgot. If that was what Ariana was doing that's MAD disrespectful considering Naya's now dead.
I don't know if you can, but you may want to try to clean up these captions, because they're not great. Ariana sings, "I'm just a fan of dark situations," and the captions? "I'm just a fan of dog shit." It's hilarious, but ouch.
I can't wait for your channel to grow I mean you are absolutely incredible at what you do sis❤
I love this video! Slight correction, at 4:41 it’s the other way around. Vogueing evolved out of the Harlem ballroom scene in the 1960s, and the dance style inspired Madonna to make the song.
PSA:
Madonna didn't start vogueing. She did several interviews when that album released, where she talked about getting inspired by underground clubbing during the 80's. Two of the artists she took inspiration from worked on the video, I don't remember if they were dancers or choreographers. Madonna however was the one who made it extremely trendy and took it worldwide.
Born in the USA is about PTSD and the Vietnam War. NOT patriotism.
Went back to watch your previous videos after being introduced to your channel through your vid on JLo. This is such a GOOOOD visual/textual analysis! If I was still teaching, I would want to show this to my students. I’m loving your research, presentation, and fairness. 2 for 2 videos! Can’t wait to watch more! … Grande’s cheating history is super gross. Those fools ruined Wicked for me.
Who else is living for the drama in Ariana's "Yes, And?" music video?
Are you an investigative journalist or are you just analytical and investigative by nature or as a hobby? If you don't mind me asking.
So based on Arianna‘s logic, I’m sure she has an entire playlist with nothing but Diddy, R. Kelly, and Chris Brown. If Epstein released music I’m sure she’d listen to it bc why would she care what anybody does in their personal life 😂. Ariana didn’t kill or physically hurt anybody but Jesus what kind of message is that?
Real fast for the commenters. Christian Breslauer (The Director) is known to steal ideas from smaller artists.
You're all insane for caring what the lyrics are to a song she didn't even write. "She" is not saying anything at all with the lyrics, or the video. She is doing as instructed by the writers of this tabloid soap opera.
Yes I'm aware she is technically given a writing credit. And yes the rest of the credits go to the same Swedish guys who write for literally every one of these singing mannequins. Considering they all sound exactly the same, as if written by the same people, its very clear that the singers' input is always minimal, or just a straight lie.
You're going places, congrats.
Notice how all these celebrity women like Ariana, selena, and many more are the definition of pick-me culture 🤭💀
I knew a girl like this she could only date a guy of she could take him from someone else. It's a sad validation like you're so hot he broke his family for you. None of her relationships ever lasted.
I just discovered your channel and I love your in-depth analysis! I'm looking forward to more videos. ❤
As a huge AG fan (who has a similar body type), I like her style and music (esp. in the "positions era"), but I find her dating history really toxic....
I find it so scary that someone can be in a happy 10-year relationship, have a child with the "love of their life" and suddenly someone bursts into their life and ruins everything.
I'm curious to see how long the relationship with Ethan will last....
Yikes…’Born in the USA’ is the last thing from a patriotic song. It’s about the service members of Vietnam being harassed, vilified, and targeted after leaving the military (this was incredibly common and happened to my dad). It’s about being made to serve one’s country either by being sold a false narrative or having no choice because you were drafted, and then having that same country hate you for it.
This reminds me of when an anthropology professor of mine commented that people think ‘Fortunate Son’ is a patriotic song. Do people not listen to lyrics?!
Just rabbit hole watching all your videos and loving all the content, as a fellow dancer / theatre and history nerd I am so happy with the amount of research and knowledge put into this analysis- but also wanted to point out that drag queens invented vogueing and cold hearted definitely was also a copy in itself (hence the fosse reference) of “take off with us”, which is a weird and incredible video for anyone who hasn’t seen it- fosse is at the heart and soul of so many pop stars and their videos ❤ ie single ladies by Beyoncé is Mexican breakfast by bob fosse / Gwen verdon and Michael Jackson got his whole style from fosse (like him in the og little prince movie)
So, I watched this after the video you made about Drake Bell/cycle of abuse. There’s a lot I’ve been wondering about Ariana Grande after Quiet on Set came out. Maybe her jumping into these relationships full force, even her latest affair with a married man are further extensions of Schneider’s abuse. Looking for male validation, thinking of other women as threats, acting younger/more naive than she is…would love to see you make a video about Grande, Nickelodeon and the psychology of grooming for girls/women.
I mean, she has a right to live her life as she sees fit, and I have a right to judge it in that same capacity. And all I see is a deeply insecure woman who hasn't done any self-reflecting and is just chasing the highs of relationships rather than working on herself and finding joy in just *being* first. I don't think she's been able to truly live for herself since BEFORE her Nickelodeon days, and now she's trying to in a very disorganized way.
Does she like the "power" of a man choosing her over another woman, I wonder? A sort of ego trip.
I used to love Arianna but her morals just turned me all the way off and her music fell off too . I seriously think she got messed up from when she used to work at Nickelodeon. Rumor was it she had always been loose though but hey it’s her life . I just don’t like when she messes with married or fully committed men. The video was stupid and she was definitely gaslighting folks . She just likes to pursue someone taken and then dump them to find another relationship to break up .
i need ⚪️ppl to start fact checking their videos fr 1st madonna invented vogue then Mac Miller came up with the phrase ‘say it with your chest’ ??? atp i’m just waiting for the next laughable ‘fact’ 😂😂😂
Can you please tell me how to find the source of the original creators /genQ
@@conveyabelt6964idk where "say it with your chest" comes from but I've heard it a long time ago. As for voguing, there's an article on National Museum of African American History and Culture titled "A Brief History of Voguing" if you're interested. Wikipedia has a page for Vogue (dance) where you could look at the cited sources for more information. Just note, voguing has ties to The Harlem Renaissance and originated amongst Black & Latino queer communities.
Literally I’m white but when she said that Ariana was referencing Mac Miller I was like- 💀 be so fr rn that is such a common term that originated from AAVE! And I didn’t even know Vogue wasn’t started by Madonna until reading the comments so I’m glad I did. She also completely misinterpreted “Born in the USA”. The song is literally a critique of the US not a praise of it 😭
You’re incredible. Your channel is gonna be huge I know it.
*58.2k subscribers in 3 months?*
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎆
The bigger thing with a (Ariana Grande) is, she can have any single guy that she wants, which makes the whole thing even worse. It's not like she's someone that couldn't find love, or a body.
Sis, Madonna isnt "where voguing comes from" lol
at 13:25 when you mention ariana and greek mythology imagery
an extra point for the disney singalong concert that was done during the covid stay at home times, she sang megara's song i wont say im in love
girl is a huge fan of mythos :3
Why do people even care about Grande when the real victim, Lily Jay is the only one hurt by all this.
Please start a channel evaluating other music videos in depth…. Cause all that was fucking fascinating
