I'm a Mariah stan all day. However, credit where it's due Ariana is marking out her own territory at this point and has moved far away from the inferior Mariah clone she debuted as.., she isn't a writer or a strong performer but she can really sing. Her voice is lush, smokey and dexterous and enunciation issues aside, she sings with ease which is welcome break from the almost common place vocal struggle heard from the bulk of her contemporaries. As a Mariah stan, I won't hate on one of the few current artists who can actually sang. Like, where's the logic. Mariah's place in the history books is safe Jheeez.
