    She is really the popstar queen of this generation. She can belt, whistle, and run riffs. She can sing a soul, jazz, pop, trap, RNB, hiphop, broadway, classic, alternative such things. She is so talented, sweet, and humble. People hate her because she has all the skills. I love her. No one can deny it.

    • @cartoonmaster2401

      She has potential, but there's more genres she can explore, like going REAL old school. Like OLD, OLD School. She's done jazz, but does she know Swing? It's back, 100 years later in the 2020's (even though swing was born in 1930, not 1920.) it's called ElectroSwing (Electronic/Pop+Swing). Let's see Ariana tackle that...

    It's tickling to see a young, modern artist pay tribute to a legend with a performance like this, because it proves that great songwriting stands the test of time. Say what you want about Grande's vocal ability compared to the Queen of Soul, but Ariana did justice to this song, and she might just have brought this classic to a new generation. Thumbs up for this performance.
