The 10 Best Ariana Grande Songs of All Time

The upcoming Wicked musical movie doesn’t use canned vocals, director Jon M. Chu says.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu confirmed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that his leading ladies Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo sang live on set, similar to how other movie musicals such as “La La Land” and “Les Miserables” were filmed. Studios often rely on pre-recorded tracks when filming musical numbers, which requires performers to lip-synch along on set.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The standoff between Universal Music Groupand TikTok over royalty payments and AI policies has resulted in a near-complete blackout of all music owned, distributed and published by the company on the platform — the videos are still there, but the music is muted. Yet new songs by UMG artists, including Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello and Niall Horan could be found on TikTok at the time of this article’s publication. How and why is that happening? While reps for UMG and TikTok declined comment, and an explanation of the platform’s logistics and process quickly devolves into a mind-melting blizzard of jargon and abbreviations, here’s a vast oversimplification of a couple of possibilities.

Eternal Sunshine.The set arrived on Friday, March 8, to positive reviews and intense streaming activity from fans eager to hear what one of the biggest pop artists on the planet had come up with.The full-length includes the superstar’s new single, “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” which could easily become another smash.“We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” is an electro-pop/synth-pop tune about a love gone awry, one that cannot be morphed into a friendship.It’s both energizing and perfect for the dance floor while also being restrained. Grande doesn’t belt her way through the cut.

Ariana Grande is healing, again. This, historically, has been a great thing for the top 40; her resilience is the magic that has fueled some of her biggest hits (see: “Break Free,” “no tears left to cry,” “thank u, next,” etc.) Her voice, one of the most ubiquitous in modern pop, practically epitomizes going onward and upward — four octaves, to be precise.

Ariana Grande has shared her “slightly deluxe” version of her latest album ‘Eternal Sunshine‘ which includes a Troye Sivan feature.‘Eternal Sunshine (Slightly Deluxe)’ includes four brand new tracks: ‘Supernatural (feat. Troye Sivan)’, ‘Imperfect For You (acoustic)’, ‘True Story (acapella)’ and ‘Yes, and? (feat. Mariah Carey)’.

Ariana Grande has performed two new ‘Eternal Sunshine‘ songs for the first time on Saturday Night Live – watch them below.Grande appeared last night (March 9) as the musical guest, completely surrounded by huge LED screens on the tiny Studio 8H stage. There, she sang two tracks off her recent album ‘Eternal Sunshine’, which she released last Friday (March 8).First, she performed ‘Imperfect For You’, introduced by her mother Joan.

Ariana Grande has requested fans refrain from sending hate to the people in her life they believe she wrote about on her new album ‘Eternal Sunshine’.Amid the personal context of the album – namely Grande’s divorce from Dalton Gomez and her new relationship with Ethan Slater – some fans took it upon themselves to troll people she may have written about. In response, Grande posted on her Instagram story telling them to stop.“Hi, I just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what i would ever encourage (and is also entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music),” she wrote.“I ask that you please do not. It is not how to support me.

Emily Longeretta Ariana Grande wasn’t just the musical guest during the March 9 episode of “Saturday Night Live.” While she took the stage to perform “We Can’t Be Friends” and “Imperfect For You” — and was introduced by her mom, Joan Grande, for the second number — she also took on two different sketches. After appearing as a patient in a group therapy session during the first half of the show, she was invited back to the stage later on in the night for a “Moulin Rouge” spoof, giving her the opportunity to sing covers of multiple hit songs.

Ariana Grande just dropped her newest album, Eternal Sunshine, and has a message to her fans as they dissect the lyrics of her songs.
