She is really the popstar queen of this generation. She can belt, whistle, and run riffs. She can sing a soul, jazz, pop, trap, RNB, hiphop, broadway, classic, alternative such things. She is so talented, sweet, and humble. People hate her because she has all the skills. I love her. No one can deny it.

@cartoonmaster2401 3 года назад

She has potential, but there's more genres she can explore, like going REAL old school. Like OLD, OLD School. She's done jazz, but does she know Swing? It's back, 100 years later in the 2020's (even though swing was born in 1930, not 1920.) it's called ElectroSwing (Electronic/Pop+Swing). Let's see Ariana tackle that...

I think she was supposed to perform R.E.M. but they decided this last minute, when they got the news about Aretha Franklin. Ariana is such a bomb singer that they can change which song she is going to sing like this. & you know the Roots had no time to rehearse. Crazy how you can make these changes so last minute when you work with such talented people. Jimmy Fallon should be so proud of his team.
