Who else tries to guess if she'll like the album based on her facial expression in the thumbnail?

I did
Meeee kkkkkkkk omg
literally me... I just started the video, and when I saw her face, I immediately feared that this was gonna be JUST like her sweetener video and how she hated that album. let’s see I guess
I mean it is pretty obvious from the thumbnails if she’s gonna like it or not lol
You know she has something to say when she stands completely still, and she makes you think your internet is going out lmao

Thought my phone glitched 😂😂😂
PLEASE
is it just me or is my hair literally so underrated like it’s beautiful
It’s just you

Is no one gonna talk about how the intro to “nasty” sounds like “the way” or am I trippin?😨
Thank 👏🏽 you 👏🏽 I thought I was the only one that heard that.
Me too!!
Do you guys think the starting of 'off the table' sounds like 'imagine'. I might be wrong. It just reminded me of that song.
@@satarupagingerkolay Same sis
@@naxemi5558 Ok thank God I am not the only one.
She’s the only one who’s actually being honest without fearing of her fans
And she’s right. This album was so bad
Many genuinely loved it. I absolutely do. In my opinion it’s her second best album. And POV is a masterpiece. It’s more R&B, which is not what we are used to hearing from Ariana. The reactions are pretty 50/50 actually. Just because you agree with her, doesn’t mean she’s the only one who’s being honest.
@@jking4973 exactly
@@santiagogonzalez2814 that is your opinion. But do not state your opinion as fact. It’s not pop, it’s R&B. If that’s not your style, that’s fine, but don’t act like you speak for everyone, because you do not.
Exactly and that’s why I love her. Unfortunately some fans are biased and pussies like the little monsters
i totally fckin agree. ariana needs to drop the trap, it’s been 3 studio albums already. her voice is so beautiful as showcased in POV and safety net.
When I listen to this Album i feel like im trapped in a cage with no way out and every Song Sounds the same...i dont like the Instrumentals. For Example LOVE LANGUAGE, I LOVEEE the Lyrics and speed, but the Instrumentals...,nah that aint gon work
agreed but thank u next was pop / electro-pop with elements of trap scattered here and there. thank u next was amazing in my idea. in this album, she tried blending RNB and trap together and it doesn’t sound too good
@@musti8044 i agree. the production on this album wasn’t good. all of the songs are songs you can relax to, not songs you can dance to. there’s no balance.
no
@@likhitlshetty i meant that she needed to stop incorporating trap music into her albums
Honestly this album is so hit or miss it might as well have been called portions
LMAOOO
😂😂
PLEASEEJAKAGHA
SKDKFKSKDMD BITCH I’M GONE 💀🤚
bruh 😭😭
honestly, at this point, i respect AJay's opinion as long as she put some RESPECT on pov....and she did
pov is pure magic
@@jayjayr.2374 more like its *just like magic*
I'll show myself out
Yes. Pov is probably Ariana's Top 10 best song
The rest is kinda meh indeed, so yeah... as long as she praises POV
Best song on the album
omg Pov is so HECKING beautiful
“Let’s just say artistic evolution might be on the next album...take your time girl” LMAOAOO SHE DID NOT
Did she lie tho?
I don't think she lied tho 🤷🏾♀️
She will "come back" with another album within a year 🙄 in the meanwhile she will be releasing basic songs just to stay relevant 😑Big question: is ariana afraid to be forgotten? Didn't she is the vocalist of our generation just as her fans state? She always plays safely with the only thing that make her being considered a pop girl : her voice
She never come up with good lyrics and melodies... and that says everything
@@crsxlndl3555 agreed. AND I M NOT A HATER
@@crsxlndl3555 she is not considered a Pop girl just for her voice lmaoo, she has plenty of great lyrics and melodies + harmonies and production. You probably think this is some blunt opinion but nah, this is just hating cuz it’s lies
This didn't really feel like an ALBUM. It felt like a whole bunch of singles put into a playlist
OK THIS!!!!! Like i personally love positions but these songs would sound better scattered throughout all of her albums instead of those all mixed together
nah this album is cohesive, my everything is the album ur talking about in this comment
@@slhcoycst5637 exactly lmao
@@slhcoycst5637 yah it's cohesive, cohesiveness of shitty ass trap.
or like one unfinished song
Ok but seriously Doja literally is the highlight of "motive" tbh
Yep
PLUS!! I think she’s the sub vocals in the background of chorus. The one’s Ajay’s talking abt,💅
@@raidenshogun6332 YES I LOVE THAT POINT
i think its cus shes the feature
agree
Artists have the freedom to make songs for themselves but the audiences also have the right to dislike it. People need to understand that
I agree. What annoys me is when people say it's a bad album. It's not. It may not be your style or your favorite, but it is not a bad album at all.
@@khaliahp you just agreed but you’re answer contradicts, talk about irony. Positions is her worst album, POV and the lead single saved it.
@@or_altr13 I suppose I should've clarified. I'm speaking about Ariana fans or people who enjoy her music. Maybe you don't like the style of the album, but that doesn't make it a bad album. I may not like country style music, but that's because it's not for me. If you prefer bubblegum pop and don't like this album that doesn't make it a bad album. It's just an album that's probably not for you. At least, that's how I see it. Does that makes sense?
I personally love this album so much that it's in my top 3 from Ariana. Other people may not feel the same, but I don't think that some people not liking it makes it bad.
@@or_altr13 i agree, talkin about evolving or talking risk, i think it's time for her to change the game at this point, i understand she just wanted to release music for herself but it is something that we listeners have to listen more like a new sound and better music not the same as her old albums.
@@siapayah9345 Yeah I agree. I’m a hardcore swiftie and Lover aged pretty terrible for us. She stepped it up so much in Evermore and Folklore. I’m hoping Ariana has her Folklore in her discography for her, and I’m hoping DW wasn’t the only one.
Everyone is saying that this is thank u next 2.0. Well, I guess I'm the only one who thinks this is actually more of a sweetener 2.0.
Yea I was thinking the exact same thing.
Honestly chile doesn’t sound anything like tun, tun was hit after hit now this...
Actually, worse than sweetener in context of lyrical content (except POV). At least in sweetener she was experimenting. I think she should have taken more time and reinvent herself to come up with new album instead of this.
Edit: its not of tun's level but some songs grew on me. Means it's not that bad sonically
It is
kind of a downgraded tun x sweetener 2.0😭💀
pure authentic r&b would've been ariana's best route i get what ajayll is saying about the trap it isnt gonna cut it next album we need genuwine type r&b from her
You're right. She needs producers like pharell, Jermaine Dupri or even Timbaland, that can elevate the rnb sound she wants.
@@adamsbemah1059 last time pharrell worked with ariana yall told him to never produce music again?
@@adamsbemah1059 not when y'all hated blazed
@@simeonkim4272 cause that song is just bad
@@joshua2764 yes genuwine he has good beats check the Ariana grande genuwine mashup
The thing with Ariana is that she's reached the level of success of pop artists who set trends (or have set them at least once) like Rihanna, Taylor, Justin Bieber, etc. And yet she's following trends. She has the voice but I feel like she doesn't have a lot to say with this album, it doesn't feel like she was inspired at all.
Omg! I agree
so true like imagine if a lesser known artist made positions, it would definitely flop
Wdym trends, the things she writes are the things she wants to write, and why is so many people blaming the trap beats on Ariana it’s the producer that makes the trap beats
@@virgos_groxve12 honey, ariana chooses her own producer means she relates into the producers work. We know she want to make just for her music but girl anyone is loosing their heads to the traps.

@@jocelyn5934 Taylor Swift
this album is definitely a grower. wasn’t a big fan at first, but now.. i’m in love. especially with the story the whole album tells and the placement of the tracks is very clever. and of course her vocals are on point as always. i can officially say, miss ariana grande never misses. love it!!
I 100% agree at first I was questioning it but now it’s one of my top fav albums from her
This album is such a grower especially when you start to understand it :)
True it grows and grows and how 🧡🔥🔥
Omg hi found u again. I follow u on insta 😆😆
yes def a grower i have the same story as you
The problem with Ariana is that she’s following trends and not making them and it seems forced with this album
I know. She is definitely strong enough to set up trends but idk what she is doing.
omg that is so true. for me, her music don't stand out because i can see other pop singers release the same songs. which is kinda sad, cause her vocals are so superior to other artists.
PREACH
Respect everyone’s opinions, but I would say highly disagree, I don’t see this album following any trend (besides maybe 34+35) and it’s music ariana has been wanting to make for years but felt stuck to the more pop sound over R&B. I think thank u next was more of following the trends and positions her saying fuck it, Im gonna make what I wanna make. I didn’t love positions on my first listen, but it grew on me and even if it’s not my fav I can respect it for the incredible talent she gives in it. But it’s cool if people don’t agree obviously haha
I wanna see Ariana do "folklore".
the expectations for this album were so high, i agree this album isn’t everyone’s favorite but i adore it so much because it’s more focused on the vocal production. because it’s so vocally focused this album with headphones is an immaculate experience so yall give it a shot w headphones 🤍
Thanks ill try this🤍💜
I listened to the whole album on headphones but still was disappointed. The production is top tier but it feels repetitive on many songs and melodies are not as catchy as I thought they would be.
Ew, too repetitive
@@ECN300 THIS !!
@@ECN300 same here
pov is the best song on the album in my opinion
YES
PERIOD , The Only Song I Liked First When I Heard It and Love Language same with Motive except for the Rap Part.
and Just Like Magic , I expected a lot from West Side cuz I thought it would be like kinda Honeymoon Avenue but it didn't go the way I expected it lmao hahaha
Imo my hair is the best song
Yessir!
I really want AG7 to be more Ginuwine-style R&B and keep the style of songs like safety net, pov, my hair, motive and off the table. Not a lot of people are doing that style rn and Ariana is at a level where she could be doing something totally different rather than following trends and making TikTok songs.
Yeah and i hope she stops with the trap :)
@@ibtikha5723 absolutely not. i want more trap songs
@@asadbish it's my opinion tho
NO!! ARI needs to drop the whole Trap-Hiphop thing and do something different, she's too talented to be pigeonholed. Sure "Positions" has a few good tracks but its all the same trap beat from dangerous woman to thank u next and positions. I know "Sweetener" is a mixed bag but its different, which is good.
i feel like it would make charts and do very very well with if she did rnb. it wud be so different but still from a popular artist who cud make a good product.
Why y'all hating on Ajay?? You'd rather she lied to her audience? It's just her opinion. Even I feel like Ari sounds tired in this album (I know....just because she has a couple whistle notes in there doesn't make it a great album full of energy) and the production is all over the place and a bit outdated, the album is lacking in lyricism/storytelling. This after Thank U, Next doesn't make sense. Even from Sweetener there are a couple songs that I could listen to over and over again. This album is once and done for me. The songs, especially the singles Positions and 34+35 seem like they're targeted to TikTok audience, no offense. The only kind of good things about this album were features with the Weeknd and T dolla sign ones (Doja was Doja. she was fire. I didn't find ari that interesting) and POV was good because the production was stripped down.
Wait what, this album has a lot of energy, it doesn't need to be like dangerous woman or thank u next to be energetic, it gives energy to your soul not your body, the feeling u feel when listening to some tracks like obvious, love language, west side, six thirty, my hair n more is unmatchable, i feel like i am in the clouds, but in the end it's your taste
Well it's your opinion, to me Ariana Grande sounds the most tired on Thank you next, i'm not speaking about hitting high note, but about vocal texture and tone, her voice is way more pleasant in Positions than in Sweetener and Thank you next to me, altough i can understand that production and melodically speaking people find it boring. Ariana Grande's voice on TYN sounds like she sang a day after binge in most songs, Her voice has always been nasal but in Thank you next it's just too much.
Totally agree
The album ahs alot energy if you like Rnb, and mam how tf does it not make sense after thank you next, she literally continued the storyline with all the songs except 3435 and nasty
@@exasperatedkai That's my opinion. I found that it is was a lazy attempt at rnb. Ungodly Hours by Chloe×Halley was a great example of a cohesive RnB album. But if you love it, it's fine. I just don't. No need to get your panties in a twist about my opinion.
The whole album has that shaving your legs and putting on lotion vibe
Yessss!!
Fr.
Lol... Um yeah let's go with it
this makes so much sense
Omg I litterly did that to this album 😂
Can we talk about Safety Net deserve to be a single, that song is the best of the album
EXACTLY
and POV!!
YEESSSSSSSS
Yaaassss This is one of my favs
YESSSSS
at the end of the day, "pov" is the best song in this album...
@niyayasss, that song is a masterpiece.
@lol right-
Facts my fav is My Hair what's yalls?
even at the beginning of the day
true, i luv that song, but my favorite from the album actually is safety net 🩵
she's literally TRYING to feel the song, all she wants to do is enjoy the song and its just not coming to her. like its her opinion. DAYUM!!!

@@Jonathan-ey3ih why would she bring back thank u next? go listen to thank u, next lol she needs to evolve artistically and this album ain’t cutting it
@@aidenmarchky8532 she did sorta "evolve" artistically but not in the way she should've but i agree.
@@aidenmarchky8532 the album shows a lot of emotions and it moves me incredibly. so to me thank u next is her best album. even though she is not that depressed woman anymore she can definitely sing about things other than sex. but this is also why i totally get it when people say their work is the best when they are sad, that generates more material for singers to sing about
I personally loved the whole album but I get why some people don't like it. Positions is very laid back, a few bops here and there, but a lot of them sounded chill. I see this era like sweetener, everyone kinda meh at first but hopefully grow to love it, and it sounds so much better with headphones♡
I still never grew from sweetener lmao
I’m still not into Sweetener at all. Can’t stand Pharrell songs. 🙃
I mean I was kind of meh at sweetener at first and even though I learned to love it I still don't listen to Pharrell's songs on the album individually. But at least to me it was more cohesive and had more diversity which makes it one of her best albums. Whereas with this one I really feel like I'm listening to the same song over and over. But I respect your opinion though 🤍
People has different taste I watched everyone’s reactions and saw that we have a different taste, and agree that it sounded better on headphones cause I can hear every hard work Ariana did this to the album
Personally I find Sweetener a lot better than this album. It makes sense why it was so critically acclaimed. The whole concept, the lyrics and the production was stellar. It's still my favorite Ariana album to date and got a very well deserved Grammy. Positions on the other hand, I've had a couple of listens to and it's grown on me, but a LOT of the songs sound filler and overall it sounds undercooked as if not much time was put into it. Songs like west side and obvious seem like they were just put in for the sake of this sounding like an r&b album.
The title should have been: ajay absolutely loving and absolutely hating positions for 27 minutes and 12 seconds straight.
So song I think are a grower overall I like the album.
@La bonne Liere huh
@La bonne Liere what?
Ok but she has so much taste ! I'm an Arianator and even tho she disliked songs I loved I still love her arguments and how she explains herself. I just think this woman is awesome for her honesty, she doesn't deserve any hate for being herself and honest. QUEEN

Absolutely
Ari, if you wanna jump in the black culture comes with more songs like Off the table. Her voice is not made for trap, for sure.

edit: ok ok it’s been about 4 months now and I heard all the albums again and i realized that sweetener it’s about making yourself feel like everything is going to be alright, you’re going to be alright, TuN it’s about getting into a whole new chapter where loving yourself and recognize all your achievements and traumas and Positions is about being mature with your feelings and being in a mental state where you’re happy with yourself and with your friends and family idk i could be wrong but I feel it that way
i think sweetener is a healing/uplifting album, she's in love and she's super happy and she's at a good state in her life (even the production and the overall sound gives you that vibe, "imma be happy happy, won't get no crying from me"). thank u, next is a sad and trauma album. she's heartbroken and in so much pain, she has so much baggage. in positions she fell in love again and her baggage is slolwy fading, she's confident and in her bag again and she's more mature and has grown ("all them demons helped me see shit differently")
@@Angel-by8bj i love ari so much 🥺 and I want her to be happy

Honestly, when I first listened to the album I wasn’t super impressed. However, now that I’ve given it more time, I do really enjoy it. I don’t know if it’s my favorite from Ari, but it’s definitely something to just vibe to while we’re all feeling alone.
Sameee
Same. I'd still listen to it cause it's Ariana
Same
I feel like it’s an album I’d play in the background as I do chores like washing dishes and folding laundry you know?
Same ive listened to it 4x today now I love more songs compared to hearing it the first time.
The reason I love Ajay’s reaction videos (aside from the fact she’s just the best person) is because she actually gives an honest opinion, rather than just the same tired, un-nuanced, unnecessarily complimentary reaction to every piece of work from every artist. And you can tell she genuinely knows about music and artistry, her opinions are well-informed.
Same I love that she's so honest but the problem with her opinions sometimes is she only focus on the sound and production and then totally neglect the lyrical content just like positions. Honestly, some of the tracks in this album aren't really vibing me but I'm surprised how cohesive this album in which she clearly neglects.
This album hits dif in the shower ngl
No fr tho
True
Y E S
Exactly
imagine late night showers with just like magic 🥰🩵
I feel like Ariana wants to do more stuff with her voice she’s been one of the queens of pop for so long and I think she wants to give other genres a go which I think is good for her
I agree. I love Ari and her music and I respect that she is finding different paths to go to. Just because “positions” is not my favourite album does not mean I do not love it with my every being!!
She made three identical trap pop albums , I don't see evolution .
@@aleksslopanovs Y’all are starting to equate trap music with basic and it’s tiring. It’s a genre of music and Ariana dabbles with it often. Y’all don’t say Lady Gaga made three identical electronic albums 💀 I bet y’all don’t even know what trap is tbh
@@aleksslopanovs Just so you know there were only three trap influenced songs on Sweetener 😐
@@striekr13577 what Ariana is doing isn't trap it's literally pop stop trying to make her out to be something that she's not
SAFETY NET IS SO UNDERRATED
BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM PERIODDDDD
periodt
Is six thirty*
@@tom945 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nasty***
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO AGREES !!!
yall need to stop hating on her for not particularly liking the album. it’s a grower, and still growing on me as well. i feel like she could’ve done so much better with the album. her vocals were beautiful, songs like positions, 34+35, pov, just like magic were my favs.
I was with you until you said 34+35 lol. Oh and I see you're an NFR and Folklore stan too!
@@snakearekat2634 it’s a good track plss😭 yeah i love lana and taylor
Same and I loved love language as well
every song on that album was good
@@mindingmybusiness5757 nah i wouldn’t use “every song”
It’s the fact that she can belt like no other but all we keep hearing from her is talk-singing like every other pop singer.
also all the songs sound exactly the same to me?
"just like magic", "safety net", "nasty" and "pov" are pure gems. (:
The production on nasty transcends me to an ethereal realm
the way you named my four favourites
and my hair
You forgot west side
Your taste is immaculate
the first time i listen i felt underwhelmed. then i just knew that i had to stop thinking about her as a pop girl. the album is beautiful r&b and trap that delivers VOCALS. it has the widest range of vocals we have ever seen from her
Same dude
@Mr. Parrot uhhh no 😂
@Mr. Parrot my thought exactly. when i heard positions for the first time, it kinda reminded me of yummy. i love ariana tho. i wish she made more songs like "How I Look On You". I love her lower register
@Mr. Parrot it's the beat that sounds similar to me. my expectation was high when i saw london on da track posted the song. i thought it's going to be like Over It by Summer Walker 😭
@Mr. Parrot yessss
Back here in 2023 and y'all just really ripped the album to shred when it's genuinely a nice and well done album
I think that this isn't a masterpiece of an album but, for me, it's a whole mood and you can vibe with it. In bed or while taking a bath. Just chilling.
it is so odd to me that people don't like r&b from ariana when that's literally how she started...yours truly was way more r&b than it was pop
honestly, i love rnb. but the songs in this album sound similar/ have the same formula
still this album is kinda underwhelming imo
I 1000% agree with you. Ariana has been doing r&b for years now. People just still have the cookie cutter pop star outlook on ariana. A mold she’s been trying to break away from since sweetener dropped. Ariana is a person and most importantly she’s growing individually but also musically. It’s time for her audience to grow with her too. Not just her fans !!!!
there was a variety of r&b sounds on yours truly and the songs didn't feel half baked like positions
@@muzikjunkie2726 this happened with sweetener. Everyone disliked sweetener cause she had changed her image. What everyone lacks to understand is that she can’t just drop an album and be raunchy and be like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears or Beyoncé when it comes to being explicit. Positions is the great album to drop in Arianas case. Positions being the dirty yet safe way to introduce this matured version of Ariana Grande. Giving the audience the opportunity to really understand that she’s no longer singing bubbly pop. She’s diving into what her voice range and overall air of how Ariana really is and what she needs to be singing. Period.
Nobody better give Ajay any hate for speaking HER opinion. I didn’t like the album at first but it has really grown a lot on me. My faves are pov, safety net, just like magic, nasty, and my hair
PERIOODDDTTTT
spill
All I see are facts lmao
Same, I didn't like it at my first listen, but definitely is a grower.
Yea I would like for her to revisit though
Her next album better be true rnb. Incorporate songs like safety net, off the table, pov, just like magic, west side and main thing. I would DIE.
yes, full rnb.
how do ya'll feel now? 🌞❤️🔥
Lot of people saying this album is a grower and I imagine them forcing themselves to like the album I'm sorry 😭
I know that might be not the case but it's funny cuz I used to do that with my favs before 💀
Ok but same lmao
yeah I don't want to listen it to again and again
whenever i first heard nasty all i could imagine is her singing “NAS TEAAAAAAA”
MEEE TOO😭😭💀💀💀
LMFAOO
Same🙄
This album is a GROWER! The more you listen to it, the better it gets. When you know what you're getting and you just bask in it, it is glorious because her vocals do the damn thing. I do want her to do less trap based RnB and come through like the new modern singers cos this did remind me of what Changes WANTED to be...but couldn't even do.
THIS RIGHT HERE lol it took time to get used to the album at first i only liked POV and Off the table but the more you actually listen to this it's truly fun!
yes! the first time i listened to it, it wasn’t my favorite but now i fucking love the album and think it’s one of her best
Absolutely
yall say every album is a grower i swear. the only reason it grows is because you've listened to it over and over that it got stuck in your head
all music is grower because repetition makes you like things.
to me every time is worse. it gets more boring
I didn’t like this album a year ago and now I love it. It took me a while to get it.
This album is basically "i got wasted like all my potential" from this is me trying
🤣
this is me trying is taylor swift song ,it's really great you should listen it.
LMAOOO
XD
this is so disrespectful 😣… y’all don’t understand r&b.
i already know she’s gonna hate it HELP 😭😭😭
As she should.
@@neutralman9124 not a taybore swift stan
@@neutralman9124 don’t speak with that recent Taylor swift album as your profile
@@neutralman9124 no need to hate, even i don’t like it that much but there’s no need to be rude
@@neutralman9124 as a Taylor stan, you are a huge disappointment to our community.
in conclusion: ariana wee need more R&B like SZA, Kehlani, Chloe x Halle... and not like Justin's CHANGES R&B.
Yea I agree. We definitely need a more Chloe x Halle vibe from Ariana since they go all in when it comes to R&B and he definitely needs to stick to dance/edm pop or like old heartwarming songs cause that was SO much better lol.
I agree
Justin r&b stand for ringtone & bare minimum
this is nothing like justin’s overused 808s and high halfs. she gave different sounds throughout the album
This articulated what I wanted perfectly
this album is so beautiful, the disappointment is that people expected more rnb but she did so much trap
actually, she combined trap and RNB and that’s why it sucked.
Right. In my Opinion RNB suits her voice more
You know, when I first heard this album I didnt love every song either but recently after she got married I decided to go back and listen to it and honestly its beautiful. If you look past the needing less trappy beats feeling she really killed this album. Its all about her healing and finding love again. Wondeing if love is off the table and then giving in to love. And now look, shes married. It makes me even more excited for her next album. A new era. Thats when you'll get more r&b and ballads bc its gonna be catered more to her new life and marriage
The last digit of your like decides which song u get:

The more I listen to "Off The Table", the more confused I get about my feelings for it. First time I listened to it, I hated it. I thought it was boring and I almost skipped it. But now that I've listened to it more, I'm loving the lyrics and vocals, but something feels... Off? I'm not sure. Does anyone agree with me?
i hated it too at the beginning but now it is like in my top 3 of her album😍😍 it has to grow on you
I still hate it
I fell asleep the first time I listened to off the table and had to relisten to the album but now I think it’s the best on the album with the vocals and the harmonies and the vulnerability in the song
I totally agree. The song is good in my opinion, but with much of the rest of the album, it feels over produced in my opinion. The drums too punchy, the vocals too boosted, when it just doesn’t fit this type of song.
I LOVEEE this album. Tbh it’s a grower and it’s an album that definitely takes time to vibe with. This album is my number 2 under thank u next. Positions is really good!
"This song is about watermelon sugar high" GIRL😂😂
Please explain me the meaning....coz im too uncultured
like very of sensor some songs idk lol but whatever like too much of thirsty lol
@@neilynguyen481 What are u talking about🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@vernonjc1818 watermelon is referred to 'cum' in songs so ...
@@vernonjc1818 Reference to the analogy of Harry Styles’s song “Watermelon Sugar,” in which he references Richard Brautigan’s book, “In Watermelon Sugar.” Many fans, however, believe it alludes to performing oral s** on a woman (i.e. the watermelon sugar’s being female ejaculation).
Ajay: “Ariana you better deliver”
Me: oh no she gonna hate a lot on this album 😭
HAHAHAHAHAH
💀👄💀
??? she delivered ???
I don’t understand how someone couldn’t love this album.
IAM WORRIED
both as a TheWeeknd fan and a Doja stan i have to admit Ty Dolla $ing is the best feature of the album
SO glad someone else loves the backing vocals in the chorus of Safety Net as much as I do. Full body goosebumps every single time😍😍
idc what yall say but just like magic is the grown up version of successful.
Wait that’s so true
i agree.
WELL DAMN NOW IM CRYING
Okay hold on hear me out.... just like magic is 7 rings and Sucessfull’s kid
Or Adore's other sister I would say. There's something quite similar between those songs.
This kind of music gets better with every listening
Agree. . The first listening kinda miss something
fact
i do like ari’s music buuuuuuuuut she rlly needs to do more R&b her voice is way too good for pop
i love her new stuff but also wish she would do more albums like dangerous woman
@@strawberryshortcake5505 exactly
almost 9 months after released, Positions really grew so muchh on many ppl, especially now she's doing the live vevo perfs, Positions is THAT album
LITERALLY
its so good i cant
Half the songs are AMAZING 100/10, the other half are recycled generic trap beats
Because of who is singing it. Not for the quality of the song. Let that sink it
@@jonelsabit1933 lol a person wouldn't give a damn second listening to a bad record whoever the artist is, and the fact that ppl listen to her, not just her fans, speaks a lot about the quality of her music
POV is such a beautiful song. Although this album may not be her best, POV will go down as one of her bests in my book. Especially for those who have been following her for a long time, knows everything she’s been through, and have gone through it with her. It’s beyond beautiful to me. It’s so amazing to see her heal and grow.
I want her to make a beautiful music video for POV 💅🏿💋🌼
@@andreleao4111 SAME!! That way the best song of the album would get more attention
