Ariana Grande Blazes iTunes With ‘Baby I’

Published: Monday 22nd Jul 2013 by Sam

Believe the hype. Ariana Grande has officially “arrived”.

After ample teasing, the vocal sensation unwrapped her official second single ‘Baby I’ today amidst much fanfare.

Find out just how much after the jump…

Within an hour of release this morning, the flavoursome cut rocketed straight into the top ten of iTunes. Fast forward to now and the track currently sits at #3 and is picking up ample steam on the digital tally.

********

The proof is in the numbers; the brand of talent Ms. Grande is selling, the masses are buying — and in a big way. Needless to say, whispers of “one hit wonder” can be laid to rest. For, like us, folk are enchanted with 19-year-old’s four-octave range and catchy material.

Finally a commercially backed new singer who’s not only deserving, but exciting. More success to her!

        She cannot SANG! She can sing however. In order to be able to SANG (As black people say) you have to have something called SOUL. #BLACKPEOPLE

  4. Lovebird ( I want to eat Cassie’s poonani) July 22, 2013

    I am so here for this girl, just ordered my Stan card from amazon, cannot wait to get it. I’ll be buying copies of this song on iTunes, Amazon and any other music service.

  5. truth tea (take a sip) July 22, 2013

    Where is the originality, artistry and individuality?
    Yes she can sing, but she doesn’t stand out whatsoever.
    Sounds like a rejected b-side Mariah single from 2002.

  6. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) July 22, 2013

    Lambs, stay out the post if you have nothing nice to say. Smh
    Just congratulate the girl. Lmao

    • Molly July 22, 2013

        CICI SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYSSSS

    • JER July 22, 2013

      exactly. XXLtina may have been influenced by Mariah but she took her own path and really none of her songs sounds like Mariah’s except “Love Will Find a Way” and “The Voice Within.” This young b**** and her stans are already doing the most.

  8. Molly July 22, 2013

    The way is better

  9. lj July 22, 2013

    I never comment but I wanted to leave positive feedback before all of tte negativity arrives. Ive been a fan of Ariana’s voice since Victorious. She had a really great personality on her YT videos, which ie also something that made me me attracted to her brand. I definitely see the Mariah comparison. She has also stated how much of a fan she is. They both are great. Ariana is definitely on her way into musical success. Her mmusic sounds original in comparison to her t*** counterparts dominating the airwaves. We should be happy for this young girl and not bring her ddown.imagine if this were your younger sister. We have to do better as people. If you dont like it, don’t buy it.but dont bash her.

    • Common Sense July 22, 2013

      I don’t see anyone bashing her. I see people stating the obvious which is:
      1) Her music is unoriginal.
      2) She has a good range but is using it to imitate Mariah’s vocals instead of coming up with her own style.

  10. Mimi Carey July 22, 2013

    Wheres @Johndival with a real opinion? Everyone else is so scared to give a real opinion this song sounds like Ashanti & Mariah mix the song is dry if this the best she got then im not interested people wanna call her the next Mariah? Not with basic forgettable material like this.

  11. stephy the lambily July 22, 2013

    Sam, this is scary. You are officially obsessed with this 20 year old girl. I cant. This song probley wont be a hit like her first song but it will be a hit. I think… Ariana is a nice gurl tho. I ase to watch her movies on TV. Good Actor. Her voice sounds nothing like Mimi. She sounds like Ariana Grande. But this song is forgettable just like her first song. It sound outdated & not only stealing Mariahs vocal style but also stealing Ashantis song “Aww Baby”

    • Monstarebel July 22, 2013

      I agree the song is very forgettable.. i liked her first song tho this one is just ok maybe it has to grow on me idk.

      • stephy the lambily July 22, 2013

        Yes. I like you secretly.

      • Monstarebel July 22, 2013

        lol why it gotta be secretly?

      • stephy the lambily July 22, 2013

        Because the Lambs don’t really care 4 u. But I do… Do you know about my relationship here with a certain person? If not good!

      • Monstarebel July 22, 2013

        The lambs are funny tho i like common sense & slayriah you must be new here cause ive never seen you on here before babe & nah idk about your relationship on here lol

  12. Savannah July 22, 2013

    Lol the MC fans are mean as f***. Y’all remind me of grumpy old people in a nursing home. The song is decent. It’s a pop hit. The Tweens and teens will eat it up. At least it’s different from the typical pop-rock/ratchet stuff we hear on the radio. The girl can sing I will give her that.

    • stephy the lambily July 22, 2013

      Excuse me, but im not old im 19 thank you very much boo boo. I just have an old SOUL. Hint: Mariah Carey & tti Labelle are my favorite Singers EVERRRR

      • Savannah July 22, 2013

        K.

    • Common Sense July 22, 2013

      Taste makes one an old grumpy person in a nursing home now? LMAO! Forgive the lambs for having standards.

      • Savannah July 22, 2013

        No. Being mean, nasty and bitter makes one grumpy. Thanks. 🙂

      • JER July 22, 2013

        And being a young, dumb c***, makes you broke and a fool. Now there we have it.

  13. Monstarebel July 22, 2013

    Lets not pretend like this song is epic… its average at best i do like the girl but i will always keep it real. Anyways im interested in hearing Miley Cyrus second single.

    • Lovebird ( I want to eat Cassie’s poonani) July 22, 2013

      The song is epic, it’s an old school Ashanti RnB vibe from a talented singer. Let’s not start bashing the new talent now. What’s the point of being a music fan if you won’t appreciate the new talent that is arriving.

      This girl is very talented and has got the “it” factor.

  14. RihBoy July 22, 2013

    Dated, and unoriginal. She has an amazing voice……but the song isn’t all that. Nothing to go crazy about. Its cute though. I have a feeling she will be the female Justin Beiber of this era.

  15. xedos3 July 22, 2013

    Nothing special about this song. if a black singer was singing the same song we wouldn’t even heard about it,but because its a white girl tgj jump to post it. she don’t need to be on urban blogs she’s going to get enough press in mainstream white media .I said it already and i will say it again. everyone love RNB,but only when white people does it.

  16. xedos3 July 22, 2013

    To compare this kid to mariah is blasphemy

  17. Common Sense July 22, 2013

    “Blazes iTunes” LOL who can’t blaze iTunes these days? Hell, even random Youtubers make the charts.

    • Lovebird ( I want to eat Cassie’s poonani) July 22, 2013

      Why are you so mad? You sound like an angry Beyonce Stan, why can’t you be happy for the girl?

  18. Rita and beyonce scared of rihanna July 22, 2013

    Back in 2011, people said Rita Whora was gonna take the USA music industry by storm, by 2012, they CLAIMED, she will end rihanna’s career in the process. Rita had all the hype: Jay, Bey, Huge A list stylist budge; complete with not one, BUT….2 stylist. She was at every red carpet event, including our MTV VMA, presenting an award for best male. Every one said she was gonna be the hottest singer on 2012……AND, end Rihanna .

    Here we are in 2013! Miley and Ariana have come out of nowhere, with little promo and styling, hype and no name dropping, to rule the USA CHART. Where is Rita Whora? How did she she end rih’s career? Where were her usa hits?

    People even said Rita is prettier and a better singer than Rihanna. Ariana is even younger, prettier and better than singer could ever be. Araiana is clean! There is no s** scandal; sleeping around or chasing men all over the place.

    So, now what? Nice to know, we the American public, did not buy the BS, you, IN THE UK were forced to cop.

  19. #DIRTYLAUNDRY July 22, 2013

    Keyshia Cole Brandy Or Even KeKe Palmer could sing this song and nobody would give a f***.

    • Savannah July 22, 2013

      Keyshia and Brandy would look like some damn fools singing this kiddie song lol.

  20. Trina Stan July 22, 2013

    Not here for this Disney Jr crap.

  21. boy July 22, 2013

    Lambs calm down… She is officially
    doomed with the Mariah Carey curse.
    (For the people that doesn’t know this
    curse… google Christina Aguilera’s and
    Leona Lewis career. HAHAHA 😉

  22. Daniel Teflon July 22, 2013

    Hmm never heard her sing so I’m not impressed

  23. Lovebird ( I want to eat Cassie’s poonani) July 22, 2013

    I don’t get why people are so mad at this girl. You can tell Mariah is an influence on this girl but her smash sounds more like Ashanti than Mariah.

    Why can’t you be happy for her, at least it’s not a kiddie pop song on a dance beat, it’s an old school Ashanti vibe RnB song and it’ll smash. I would rather this tops the charts than the s*** Miley released.

  24. Chris Brown Beat Me July 22, 2013

    She’ll be a s*** in a few years. Watch this.

  25. Daniel Teflon July 22, 2013

    Hmm never heard her sing so I’m not impressed

  26. Brazilian Beyonce!!! July 22, 2013

    Basic!! But she’s so talented and beautiful and sweet, give me more of yourself. I love her though downloading it on Itunes because she seemed really genuine :). #TeamAriana

  27. Super Cisus July 22, 2013

    She much better than flop ugly lip synch mooriah

  28. Mark111 July 22, 2013

    People are saying RIP Mariah, well I think MC is done, but not cause of this girl. Y’all are missing it, this girl is digging 3 graves, Miley, Salena and Deni and any other Disney s*** in the making. Rather I like it or not, Mariah is a legend. Side note, I don’t hate MC, I just don’t like her stans that think she’s this vocal beast when she’s not or ever was.

  29. JOHNVIDAL July 22, 2013

    Hmm ok if she is not a songwriter then why the hell can´t her team make better songs for her??? And especially, why the hell don´t they help her to leave her obsession with Mariah Carey behind???? Seriously.
    Girl for a big debut and impact and to have broad audiences you need soul, you need originality, you need something. Ask some of the biggest debuts of the last decade: Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Adele, etc. This won´t go far. And one last thing: does she really dress like that??? It´s like a joke, isn´t she 20 years old or so?? She dresses as if she were 10. She´s not fooling anyone though. It just screams fake to me and zero artistry.
    She´s probably a nice girl though. But I don´t care about that…

  30. JER July 22, 2013

    Not her being leapfrogged and outsold by One Direction 2:1 lol

  31. Enni July 28, 2013

    Lmao Baby I is dropping so fast. Oop.
