Nicole Scherzinger, Ciara, and even longtime “rival” Christina Aguilera have all lent notable impressions of pop princess Britney Spears over the years.
But, when it comes to relative newcomer Ariana Grande, who took to ‘SNL’ earlier this year to show off her best impersonations of Rihanna, Shakira, and – you guessed it – Spears, it appears the ‘Work B*tch’ singer feels Ari’s reenactment of her unique Grammy winning vocals could use a little work…b*tch.
Relive the moment and read Spears’ criticism below:
But during an interview with London’s KISS FM UK radio station this week, Spears didn’t seem too thrilled by the “Dangerous Woman” singer’s rendition.
After being played the recording of Grande’s impression, Brit gave some faint praise: “That’s funny,” she conceded. “That’s really funny, wow.”
But when she was asked if she thought the rising pop star had done her justice, she ultimately admitted, “I’ve heard better.”

LMAO…….SWEET SHADE!!!!
Ariana Grande from treating that fan like crap and erasing the poor fans pics from her personal phone because she didn’t like them to licking the donut to her arrogant attitude this girl is in the same bad lane as Christina Aguilera “who put her hand out for Mary J Blige to kiss”. These girls think they the NEXT Mariah Carey but lack the songwriting skills, the longevity, the hits, the number ones. Sad, that someone has pumped up Ariana Grande to think that she’s special, because really she’s NOT.
How can you say Ariana is trying to be something while she is being herself? Besides, she loves her fans to death. If she doesn’t then why does she constantly remind them how much she loves them? Why did she invite some of her fans for coffee at one occasion? Why she donate money to a fan for college tuition? Why did she make one fan’s dream come true at a Make A Wish charity event? Hmmmmmm
“I’ve heard better.”
Dyiiiiiiiiing! The AUDACITY of this Britney Darts non-singer is hilarious.
Y’all are so pressed to wanna find something to say she said hat in regards to the actual impersonation not the singing. You f*** sit on this blog just waiting on any moment to throw shade
Another mad Britney Stan. HE’S RIGHT. Whether it was the actual impersonation or actual singing either one is better than Britney on her best day. So cut it.
Honda Civic, please tell me what was missing with Ari’s impersonation Brit’s “singing?” I’ll wait. We’re supposed to pretend like she has power house vocals or something ’cause I didn’t get the memo…
Ariana Grande may have the “better voice”, but at this rate and age Britney was a SUPERSTAR. Ms. Grande has not even had a number 1 and her tour is not selling. She will NEVER have the career of Britney. Britney has reached icon status with not having 1 octave in her voice. Workkkkkkkk
I agree. Ariana has no identity or artistry at all. So despite having a better voice (nothing special and with a total lack of soul and own style. And that diction…) than Britney, at least Britney was star material.
???????
?????????????
Lol you’ve heard better? Not from yourself I know that.
The shade indeed Mrs. Spears lol …also Ariana n SNL thought they ass were slick in that 90s Diva Playlist, she covered Celine n Whitney but not Mariah ??!! lol the Diva that ruled the 90s! that was tasteless shade include her version of Work.
Ariana used to stan for Mariah and then Mariah and the lambs started trying her. I totally get why she didn’t do it and it’s not to be shady but rather to avoid stirring the pot
First of all Mariah ain’t say nothing (shady or bad) about Ariana, She wished her “longevity” and as for the Lambs please thats a poor excuse.
Shade a bit, Britney Jean!

lol
LMAO that sound a bit shady but she’s right. Nicole’s take is the funniest and most spot on Britney impersonation.
Ariana and Demi both NAILED Xtina impersonations though you can tell they’re real fans
Ariana would sing Britney under a table.
Ariana should ONLY be singing under a table
Britknee she sounds better doing you than you do.
I guessed she prefers Aguilera’s impersonation.
If anything I’d be pleased if someone told me I sounded nothing like Britney. Honestly that’s kind of an oxymoron considering no one really knows how Britney even sounds.
Taco Girl done way better with Dion and she did great as Mariah on her first album. So Brit is right, there’s better impersonations.
I KNOW your ugly ass isn’t talking when you stan Rihanna. The only thing that could imitate that b***** is a damn goat ?
F*** you Annalise!
DIE @STDmoon !
I agree, “I’ve heard better.”
But at least Ariana actually sang a britney song live!
Better as in Christina Aguilera! Lol!!!!
Ooh…I forgot about her.
Um…I don’t know her?
Lol
I like Ariana BUT Brit!?!?! You better SHADE!!!!! lol… Sounds funny but that was cute innocent shade lol. I’m tired of people coming for Britney and I’m glad she’s speaking her mind. These last couple years she’s been RAW lol. Now this is proof that the tweet she tweeted last year in response to Iggy was Cleary cute shade too. Idk what Iggy thought lol.
LOL, I’m sure Britney meant no harm but damn, if that wasn’t some good ol’ fashioned SHADE! I mean, the fact that we haven’t heard Britney’s live voice in years but she claims that someone who CLEARLY has the upper hand in vocal ability didn’t do an impersonation of her justice is simply jokes upon jokes.
LOL I didn´t know Britney could shade. Cute.
At the end Lipney still has a Grammy and a Diamond certified album. Pepper Ann can’t even go triple Plastic.
Shadeney
Ariana can imitate Britney’ voice but she damn sure can’t imitate Britney’s successful career…
