    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.

      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...

    Looking out on the morning rain
    I used to feel so uninspired
    And when I knew I had to face another day
    Lord, it made me feel so tired
    Before the day I met you
    Life was so unkind
    You're the key
    To my piece of mind
    'Cause you make me feel
    You make me feel
    you make me feel
    Like a natural woman
    (Woman)
    When my soul was in the lost and found
    You came along to claim it
    I didn't know just what was wrong with me
    Till your kiss helped me name it
    Now I'm no longer doubtful
    Of what I'm livin' for
    And if I make you happy
    I don't need to do more
    'Cause you make me feel
    You make me feel
    you make me feel
    Like a natural woman
    (Woman)
    Oh baby, what ya done to me
    (Whatcha done to me)
    Made me feel so good inside
    (Good inside)
    And I just wanna be close to you
    (Wanna be)
    You make me feel so alive
    'Cause you make me feel
    You make me feel
    you make me feel
    Like a natural woman
    (Woman)
    'Cause you make me feel
    You make me feel
    you make me feel
    Like a natural woman
    (Woman)
    'Cause you make me feel

    you make me feel
