Sorry….failed. This girl sounds like a constipated goat like Rihanna.
Girl stop Ariana slays Gaga vocally.
@Molly Yeah she mos def doesn’t even come to Gaga vocally. Not even in an arms reach but the girl can sing.
Selena Gomez’s debut album sold more copies than any Ariana Grande or Demi Lovato album. Ever.
😆
Too amateurish and karaoeke-ish. Thanks for trying.
nah…i won’t repeat this video. nothing unique about her voice. pretty safe performance. she need to learn how to sing with an emotion o soul..much to learn than sucking black c*ck.
Ariana sounded good!! And don’t be coming for Rihanna !! We know where Rihanna is at??Where is LAdy Flopgaga
I’m a harsh critic unlike you losers and Stan’s who wake up hating life. She sounded beautiful and less nasal. Whitney would be proud
http://youtu.be/b09U0KLv6I4
She sounds like Idol audition.
😆
Lack of emotions. Very amateurish like she is singing in the prom or beauty queen contest.
#RIPLittleWh*re
Y’all kill me. I mean, I get it. There could definitely be a bit more “emotion” (which btw is a subjective thing bc people don’t express their emotions in the same fashion across the board), but she most definitely hit all of the notes. That is a feat in itself. The only thing I would really complain about is some of her timing, which sheesh… give her a break. I’m sure she was a bit nervous considering she’s singing in front of the guy who wrote it and heard whitney sing it, first hand.
@tohot
Everything you wrote.. Ariana did a great job! Her diction was on point as well.
No one will ever do it like Whitney, but this chick held her own.
#Respect
Selena Gomez has more solo top 10’s than Ariana Grande.
Good for her, I’m just gonna leave this here… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jCbZASxWhAg
Well technically wasn’t Ariana working with the scene ? So besides come & get it what else ?
L0L Get outta here bish! you ain’t the real Truth Serum. Truth’s avi is blue,
great job ariana. haters will do what they do.
My princess Ari, so beautiful and talented
She sounds good, as usual. But something is lacking in her voice. She can def sing but the emotions, diction and overall richness of her voice is lacking a lot. And of course you can never understand her lol
If you type ‘nothing special’ in to Google, the first thing you’ll see is Ariana Grande.
😀
lol
She did that. One of the only new vocalists we have. Hopefully this trend continues. Very talented young lady. <3
Yeah she is one of the few good singers in pop music today. But she still has a long way to go before she catches up with the Rihanna Reigning queen of vocal SLAYAGE!
https://youtu.be/7SkA29tLj-o
LMAOOOO Every time I see you post that video , I die laughing! But hey, the tone deaf navy loves it!
There are loads of them, they just haven’t been hyped like she has.
I used to think that she could really sing but as time went on i realised that she could just sing with smoke and mirrors.
This preformance was okay, i could understand her which was a bonus.
I’m awaiting the return of Jojo.
I’m sure at least one member of Little Mix could sing this better than her, we know Alexandra Burke can
I loved it, she enunciated better this time. If only she could get rid of that ponytail*sigh*
This little wh*re sounds like she is sucking Justin Bieber’s d*ck!
Tragic…
Forgettable…next????
OUTSTANDING!
Her pony tail…yeah. I agree.
Girl, stay the hell out of Whitney’s lane for your own safety….Smfh 🙁
LOL. Desperate attempt to show that she is a singer but at the end of the day, she sounds like a trying hard karaoke singer.
I just love Ariana she the most talented female in music right now.
Not even remotely true.
I want her to cover Mariah Carey’s Vision of Love
I want Mariah to be her backup singer … 😆
😮
I want Thighyonce to stop stealing other people’s songs, but we all know that will never stop.
You can tell she was nervous, the way she kept playing with her ponytail.
Drugs…
Just OK. It doesn’t scream…WOW!!!
Man there is so much hate for this girl. Compartmentalize your hate people, you can say whatever you want about the “rumors” regarding her, but you cannot deny she is talented and she has the best voice of any young singer out there, period. Let her continue to find her way. This was a great cover, and props are most certainly due.
Opinion is not hate. Compartmentalize your donkey brain, sis.
Opinions that she sucks and is talentless would be classified as “hate”. You don’t think an opinion can be considered “hate”??? Hate can equal negative opinions. I was simply saying people need to have basis for their opinions rather than spewing out unwarranted statements about a girl who clearly has talent. So next time you try it with me, check your lipstick before you come and talk to me. Thanks.
I agree
And saying that she is the best vocalist right now is considered biased. She is most certainly nowhere near the best imo.
I should have clarified more – I meant she is the best vocalist of any young female popstar who has come out in the last few years. I don’t think that is biased it just is based on her vocal ability versus the other girls’.
Nothing unique about this girl. I will give her another 3 years then she will be gone like Ciara.
And have 8 top tens and 25 mil records sold ww
And be a Grammy winner?
Or gone like mariahs voice and portion control
Can’t stand this female version of Justin Bieber. Next???
Why does everyone think they can do a Whitney cover?
I STOP THE VIDEO AFTER 45 SECONDS.
She can really sing. Now she has the most talent out of all the new girls. She hasn’t reached her prime either
Mariah f****** slayed vocally at Ariana’s age. Don’t get me wrong, Ariana has a cute tone and decent runs, but her voice lacks character, soul and passion. I just can’t get with it. Now tori Kelly is one to look out for!!!
Tori kelly??? Who dat Who dat?? Anyway hi sherry
This extremely talented young singer whose been around for a while but is finally catching her big break! I love her! Hey gurrrrll
Who cares? Mariah can’t sing for sh!t today. Only fans of hasbeens cling to what happened yesterday to divert from what’s NOT happening now.
Girl, bye. Ariana is only 2 years into her career and she’s already giving Milli Vanilli a run for their money. 21 year old Mariah would have never.
https://youtu.be/ojjNPEmyPsg
Mariah may not have the vocal prowess she had in ’91, but at the age of 21 she was a vocal BEAST. Is she inconsistent vocally these days? Yeah, but so what! She’s 45 and has paid her dues. Let’s see how Miss Grande will sound 24 years from now. 🙂
Soul-less… thanks for trying.
Just like her Grammy performance. There was no “umphhhh”. She will be gone soon….for good.
#RIPLittleWh*re !!!
Ariana has a average voice simply because she lacks soul, emotion and character vocally I have yet to be wow by any of her performances and tackling Whitney is a very big no no.
cant stand this little sl*t !!!!!
Lol Molly clinging to Sherry now???
Hey, not many can do a Whitney cover and do it well. So good job. A vocalist that sings outside of the studio.
People constantly go on about how great of a singer this chick is but in high school that was just the average chorus girl voice. There are some very talented singers,singer’s way better than Miss Grande who know not to touch Whitney’s songs.All this promo all this she’s Mariah Jr,all those hits and still not one Platinum album yet.This cover wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t anything to write home about either. Every time I see her I just wanna grab some scissors and snip that Damn dry pony tail off.
Then go to their page then.
Why does she find it so difficult to admit how much of an influence Mariah is on her. She’ll call anyone else an inspiration, but she barely mentions the person she constantly emulates.
I don’t think it’s hard, I think it’s just obvious, so she wants to let everyone know who her other influences are.
True, I mean she has said that MC was the greatest vocalist in an interview before, but after the interviewer prompted her. I think she doesn’t want to live up to the pressure of the comparisons.
@Slay_My_Bottom is talking s*** to that @Cooch Cooch troll. Thanks for the rihanna promo though
all these pressed and bothered lambs lol…
L0L you don’t have to be a lamb to call a spade a spade.
Most of these usernames are not Lambs so put on a gasoline jacket and run into hell.
She’s no Mariah but she does have a voice, she needs better songs though
I thought she did a poor job, she was pitchy as hell and more out of breathe than Demi Lovato.
‘
A Mariah Carey song, like my all (difficult to sing) or without you would suit her better. Not even Mariah can sing this song.
‘
To me, only two people have killed this song, Whitney Houston and Leona Lewis.
And Jasmine Selvin, or however you spell it. That’s it and none are at WH greatness.
Jazmine Sullivan did a great job as well. Leona didn’t do it justice, but for what it was worth, 🙂
Interesting here though, I like it when artists credit the song writers that wrote the song. Rihanna does this, and Ariana is doing this too.
‘
Even Katy Perry does this. It is something when artists acknowledge the people who contribute to their success (it is not just the fans).
‘
It is the absolute difference between artists of credibility and frauds. But hey, some artists are more hype than substance. Good for you Ariana.
And when they really think they’re fooling us by saying they write songs when they can barely say a complete sentence. Just Bey honest.
Charice would BLOW this girl off the stage. Anyways, she looks cute
That was cute.
It was aight
This what who i cant take with tje t*****’s kn this site this was an amazong performance buy yall comparing album sales…….#foh gaga could never
This was so cute and she looks beautiful.
No thanks, could not understand her much.
she is very talented but she lacks that umph. I would rather listen to singer with less range and more soul, like Jazmin Sullivan, Tamar, etc.
Tamar actually has/had a bigger range than Ariana. And, she can actually whistle LIVE
This is lipped tho, if there’s proof of her hitting this live I will eat my words L0L
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z–rgFpgcK8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9gveVTBLkw
L0L I meant during a live performance, this sounds more like a screech but mmkay.
She did great!!!
she killed it..you can tell that she was very nervous…the girl can blow
I don’t know why people say she sounds like my MiMi..they don’t sound anything alike
she reminds me of xtina,
people tends to be nervous whenever they are actually singing a song, from their favs..key word: SINGING
I wanted to love it… but I didn’t! Whitney just had the most perfect diction EVER, that’s why it’s hard for many singers to successfully cover her music. I’d hate to jump on a band wagon and start attacking Ariana’s vocal clarity, but it really was a bit problematic here. This rendition was so breathy. Tributes to Whitney tends to naturally bring out the critic in me, so I’m going to cut Ariana some slack. She does have a lot of range and power! She also sounded better than about 90% of people singing a Whitney song (Ashanti, Jhud, Jessie J to name a few), so I’ll give her an A for effort.
Overall it was good, however shes not there yet. Whitneys presence is all over this song, And you have to be very special to channel the essence of the song. No one can do it like whitney, She MADE this song. Arian had a good start, but she brought nothing else to and sort of fell flat toward the middle and end of the song. Still a great job none the less, But she still has some ways to go, and some vocal maturing to do.
A Ciara stan critiquing vocals? Your fave can’t even sing the ABCs on key.
Me being a Ciara stan has nothing to do with my opinion, I dont stan for Ciara’s vocal ability or lack there-of. Yet, more so I stan for her talent and performance presence that she brings to the scene. Furthermore you are probably a Rihanna stan trolling, So this conversation is void.
Meanwhile, Arianas album has been giving me life today!

#OneLastTime
Again?
All these covers only prove her lack of passion, soul, her terrible diction and the overall BLAND feeling about her voice, style and image.
She has already released two albums and neither of them have done big business. Plus none of her songs is special, none will be remembered… not even in 5 years. Can´t they cook better material for her? Maybe it is impossible with her voice. This has to change a lot for her to have a real career and respect. I don´t see it happening. She just doesn´t have it.
Did it better than Nippy.
Did it better than Nippy. Lol I’m kidding! This was cute 🙂
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bme1-faevFM
Good attempt, she would have been less strained if she stood up. Leona Lewis did the best rendition, even Whitney said Leona Lewis reminded her of a younger her.
I’M going to pass on her tones she never MOVES ME!
