Research Ariana and notice that she does impressions of other singers (britney, judy, mariah, shakira, ect). She even has a cover of Mariah's emotions in which she tries to sound EXACTLY like her! She needs to get her own SWAG and style. She is copying Mariah's signature breathy tones and whistle tones. Thankfully, her normal tone is pretty lame compared to Mariah's. Also, let's not forget that Mariah is the FIRST person who collaborated with rappers back on Fantasy…If not for her, a track like this wouldn't even exist. The reason why this song is catchy is because it samples Big Pun's "I don't wanna be a playa no more".
