Posted March 10, 20232 yr ARIANA GRANDE: THE SINGLES :hi: it's been a while since we've last done a listening session in here! We've hosted them for all of her albums in the past... so now it's time for the singles. If you haven't joined in with one of our listening sessions in the past then we essentially hit play on the same playlist at the same time and discuss the music in this thread as we go along. Here are Spotify and YouTube playlists that I've put together: playlist?list=PL8PGQGzG9n27EXFjXpe5VxSYSqn4DTwvq This will be taking place on Wednesday 15th March at 7pm U.K. time, with an estimated finish of 9:30, as we've included 45 singles. Hope some of you can make it! :heart:

March 10, 20232 yr No Santa Can't You Hear Me or Santa Tell Me? I'm out. Srs though, I can't make it </3 hope you all have fun though!
March 10, 20232 yr Author No Santa Can't You Hear Me or Santa Tell Me? I'm out. Srs though, I can't make it </3 hope you all have fun though! 'Santa Tell Me' is there!! But we thought more than one festive song in March was probably pushing it :lol: Aw okay </3 if anyone can't make the whole thing then feel free to jump in at any point :heart: We were originally planning to go with Monday but I didn't want to step on the toes of the 2000s mods who are doing a Sophie Ellis-Bextor session that night. Although I do have a driving lesson that evening so will probably be less mentally exhausted on the Wednesday anyway :kink:
March 10, 20232 yr I'll be around for this ~ Ariana coming to be pushed even further ahead as my most scrobbled artist on last.fm :cheeseblock: (mostly because of the previous listenthroughs in this forum haha)
March 15, 20232 yr Not the best start at all. It might not be as bad as Ari thinks it is but it's just not her at all. I wonder why they thought a '4 Non Blondes' sample was what the kids would want. :lol:
March 15, 20232 yr Am listening along, will try and leave some comments every now and then x I completely forgot about the 4 Non Blondes sample in this song again lmao. It catches me off guard every time I hear it :lol:
March 15, 20232 yr Author This being a BJSC entry :cheeseblock: was way before my time in the contest, though. I don't think I actually heard this song for the first time until a few years after it came out. I knew of its existence though as I used to be an admin on Glee Wiki and a user on there was called PutYourHeartsUp :lol: "Can't resurrect Gandhi, resurrect King" is quite an unexpected lyric for a bubblegum pop Nickelodeon single tbh. Anyway, this is not really my thing, nor Ariana's these days with her disowning :kink:
March 15, 20232 yr Author Now this was the first release of hers I actually caught at the time *.* highly nostalgic, can't believe it's 10 years old later this month!!
March 15, 20232 yr 'The Way' was the first Ariana song I heard and I fell in love straight away. It's nowhere near her best but is probably still my favourite from the 'Yours Truly' era. 'I'm Not a Player' is a much cooler choice of song to interpolate. It's a classic. RIP Mac :heart:
March 15, 20232 yr Now this was the first release of hers I actually caught at the time *.* highly nostalgic, can't believe it's 10 years old later this month!! 10 years :cry: That feels scary.
March 15, 20232 yr Author 10 years :cry: That feels scary. I know right?! I distinctly remember studying for my GCSEs at the time :drama:
March 15, 20232 yr There was a time that I would have found this incredibly irritating but I've warmed a lot to Mika over the years. Still bottom-tier of Ari singles though. We're going to get Ariana singing the original 'Popular' soon.
