Forbes: Taylor Swift, Pink, Rihanna And Ariana Grande: 10 Artists Who Should Headline The Super Bowl Halftime Show

 

Ariana Grande

 

One of the most successful pop stars and one of the greatest voices in music today, Ariana Grande puts on a great show, and her power and popularity are massive. Her fan base isn’t necessarily the kind that usually tunes in to football games, so that could be a detractor, or perhaps a bonus for the NFL to consider. Some middle-aged male fans watching might not be familiar with her catalog, but her presence could convince others to turn their TV on, at least for one part of the game.

I'd love Ari to do this one year! Her live vocals are on point and she's really building up a catalogue of hits.

Ariana Grande Wins Five-Year Restraining Order Against Knife-Wielding Stalker

Singer said obsessive fan’s obsessive behavior, including near-daily appearances outside her home, “terrifies” her

 

Ariana Grande has won a five-year restraining order against a man who allegedly flashed a large hunting knife outside her Los Angeles house and threatened to kill her.

 

Aharon Brown, 23, was arrested near the singer’s home September 10th on suspicion of making criminal threats and remains in police custody with a court appearance set for Thursday.

 

On Tuesday, a security guard for the singer testified about his confrontations with Brown, leading Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Reginald L. Neal to grant Grande the long-term protection order that expires October 5th, 2026, court records obtained by Rolling Stone confirm.

 

In a harrowing written statement to the court last month, the “Thank U, Next” singer and Voice coach said Brown displayed obsessive behavior that “terrifies” her. She said he first appeared outside her private residence last February and then ramped up his visits in August and September to the point where he was approaching her home “nearly every day and sometimes multiple times a day.”

 

The alleged stalking came to a head shortly after 10 p.m. on September 9th, when Brown brandished “a large hunting knife” outside her residence while she was at home and became “combative” when her security asked him to leave, according to her statement. Brown allegedly returned a few hours later, at 1:27 a.m. on September 10th, and showed the knife again while issuing an ominous threat to her security guard: “I’ll f***ing kill you and her.”

 

An LAPD arrest record included with Grande’s petition said a knife was recovered from Brown’s front pants pocket during a pat-down.

 

“The fact that Mr. Brown has been regularly coming to my home for over six months terrifies me,” Grande said in her sworn statement requesting the order. “Based on his threats, I am fearful for my safety and for the safety of my family. I fear that absent a restraining order, Mr. Brown will continue to come to my home and attempt to physically harm or murder me or members of my family.”

 

Grande’s petition filed September 14th also asked for protection for her husband, Dalton Gomez. The singer, 28, and Gomez, 26, wed in May.

That is terrifying :mellow: glad she has better protection now although 5 years doesn't seem that long and surely he should be in jail for such dangerous threats.

Ari sneaking in there :cheer:

Ooh Ariana is on a new 43 minute podcast with her vocal coach! Here is her insta post about it:

 

 

my friend and vocal coach of over 13 years, eric vetro, has started his very own podcast !!!!! it’s called #BackstagePassPod and i am so very proud of and excited for him. the link is on my story but it’s available wherever you listen to things. there are no words to describe what a gift of a human being this man is ! he has been by my side every step of the way and believed in and encouraged me, my voice, my heart, my music, my ideas since i was 15. also !!!!!! there is no way i would have survived what has been vocally demanded of me over the past decade without him. from simultaneously filming a television show playing a character with a squeaky, silly voice during the days and recording my debut album at night on 0 sleep, to completing 4 tours with no vocal injuries (thank you thank you god/eric), or just about anything else i’ve experienced in my professional (or personal) life. your guidance and friendship has been and is one of the greatest gifts in my life. :) if you’re a vocal, music nerd like me, this whole series will definitely be your cup of (throat coat) tea. aside from being one of the greatest teachers and healers on earth, he is just a gem of a human being, i truly can’t say it enough. thank you eric for our hundreds of facetime warm ups (even when i’m in another country and it’s 3am your time) and our most cherished in person lessons where we cannot get through an exercise without laughing and our countless memories. i love youuuu !

This fun collection of throwbacks was uploaded to the Jimmy Fallon channel today:

 

 

still obsessed with her goth rock version of 'HUMBLE.'

 

This video is really cool, it outlines the chart success of women in pop on the Billboard Hot 100. It only focuses on Britney's debut onwards but I'm not surprised, must've been time consuming.

 

Ari of course appears from 2013 and then properly gets off the ground as a consistent presence with 'Problem' onwards - was enjoyable to witness that all over again *.*

The 50 Best Song Interpolations of the 21st Century: Staff Picks

 

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/lis...-interpolations

 

Ariana Grande, "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" (2019) int. *NSYNC, "It Makes Me Ill" (2000)

 

 

Get Lifted: Ari's "Break Up" bridge updates lyrics from the No Strings Attached deep cut to fit her narrative about coveting a guy's girlfriend, trading "You can say I'm crazy if you want to" for "You could call me crazy 'cause I want you" (among other subtle word swaps) in the sensual redo.

 

Why It Works: It works on a few levels. First, it puts a much-deserved spotlight on a beloved non-single, offering a knowing wink to her fellow *NSYNC stans -- as well as to the song's own co-writer/co-producer Max Martin, a No Strings Attached collaborator -- but it also just fits in the song. If you didn't know "It Makes Me Ill," you're still vibing to this bridge.

 

Bigger Than Original? Yup. "Ill" never hit the Hot 100, while "Break Up" debuted and topped out at No. 2. -- KATIE ATKINSON

 

Ariana Grande, "7 Rings" (2019) int. Rodgers and Hammerstein, "My Favorite Things" (1959)

 

 

Get Lifted: Ari delivers a note-for-note rendition of the Sound Of Music classic in the "7 Rings" verses, updating Fraulein Maria's virtuous list of favorite things with a more braggadocious lyrical tally that swaps "bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens" with "girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble," among other material items of which the Captain would likely disapprove.

 

Why It Works: Beyond "Favorite Things" simply having one of the most enchanting melodies of the 20th century, its use in the saucy, make-it-rain R&B romp creates a sort of delicious cognitive dissonance for everyone who grew up on the saccharine glory of The Sound Of Music.

 

Bigger Than Original? Technically yes. "7 Rings" debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and spent eight weeks in this peak position, while the original "My Favorite Things" never charted. (A cover by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass' did hit No. 45 on the Hot 100 in 1969.) But it was still all cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudel for the Rodgers and Hammerstein camp, as Concord -- the music company that's owned the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog since 2017 -- earned 90 percent of "7 Rings'" songwriting royalties. -- KATIE BAIN

 

I was hoping to see '7 rings' on this list but completely forgot about 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' having an interpolation too!
