Questions or not, fuming is just what this White House does.
Now Trump will discover that she was never talented.
In any case, the opinion of hairdresser amplified by the repost of a diva has given POTUS a really fine burn.
Not a very good singer but at least she is a okay human being.
I mean, that simply isn’t true. She’s an absolutely incredible vocalist, on par with the likes of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and the like. She has one of widest vocal ranges of any current female performing artist and has demonstrated extremely impressive technical ability in many of her recent albums and especially in the Wicked movie. She also has won 2 Grammys.
You may not like her music (which is fine), but it’s undeniable that she has top tier vocal ability.
And her impersonations are really great.
You do know that Grammy’s aren’t worth a damn right ?
I don’t care for her music, but she’s a pretty great singer.
Will the whining ever stop?
MAGA “fumes” from reasonable question. Does MAGA ever stop fuming?
I wish they’d have coronaries
Ariana, my queen.
I can’t stand her annoying, squealy-high singing voice—nor her “I’m better than you” attitude towards dating (see the lyrics to her song Thank You, Next for a good example of what I mean)—but I’m starting to warm up to her. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I see you prefer women that lack confidence and don’t know their own worth, or at least won’t advocate for their worth. If a man wrote similar lyrics, would you have the same issue with her song? After reviewing the lyrics, they don’t seem all that different than 90% of the hip-hop and pop boasting that comes from men.
The enemy of your enemy is a honourable third party.
Sooth…
lemmy.world checks out
Is that supposed to be an insult? I have accounts on several instances. This one just so happens to be the account on my phone.
I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make.
Yes, and?
Ariana probably: yuh
Grande, 32, shared an Instagram post by podcast host and makeup artist Matt Bernstein, who asked Trump voters a pointed series of questions.
“It’s been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all — has your life gotten better?” Bernstein asked.
“Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down?” he continued. “Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”
Shes 32??? I thought she was like 4 years younger than me at least. She is 4 years older than me lmao
She’s old enough to have had her n00dz leaked during the fappening. That was 11 years ago!
They really don’t like questions or past quotes of themselves. Says a lot.
Fascists: “Everything is better under Trump”
All other people: “Name one thing, please.”
Fascists: Angry NPC face
Save your tears, Ariana, because President Trump’s actions ended Joe Biden’s inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments,
Well thank goodness for that. I can now see all Americans lives will become better as soon as they attain billionaire status.
We’re all gonna be billionaires by the time Trump is done fixing inflation! /s
Yeah, like how everyone in Zimbabwe has millions in the account.
Like his “concepts of a plan” /small hands wave an invisible accordion
… and are bringing in trillions in new investments
My office had to lay off half the workers because so many clients are canceling projects or we’re being viciously underbid by competing firms desperate to make a deal.
They wouldn’t be mad if it wasn’t true.
Well she is Latin. If she wasn’t a diva ice would consider taking even her. So racist…
She’s completely Caucasian. If we consider Italians Caucasian. Yes we do consider Italians Caucasian.
She’s also a method actress who’s been known to assume several different nationalities, each for a long duration of time. Like remember when she looked & spoke black for awhile?
The only way she’s Caucasian is if you’re using it to mean “white”, which is based in pseudoscientific racial theory. Quoting the second definition from Wiktionary:
- (anthropology, dated) Of a racial classification pertaining to people having certain phenotypical features such as straight, curly, or wavy hair and very light to brown pigmented skin, and originating from Europe, parts of Northern Africa and Central, South, and Western Asia.
- Synonyms: Caucasoid, Europid
I don’t tend to do linguistic prescriptivism, but I have to make an exception for things like this. Caucasian should just be used to refer to people from the Caucasus.
If we consider Italians Caucasian. Yes we do consider Italians Caucasian.
For now. That’ll change.
I hope it does. The Caucuses are like Armenia and Azerbaijan, Italy is different mountains
I thought she was Italian?
I thought she was Italian?
To answer your question, yes, you did. You’re welcome.
Yeah, we just have a ton of really similar words for not-quite the same thing.
Latin: with roots going back to Rome (Most Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian people). But almost nobody uses this in the USA.
Latin American/Latino/Latina: with roots in South/Central America, the Caribbean, or Mexico (notably, this includes Brazil and Haiti)
Hispanic: with roots in Spanish-speaking countries (notably, this excludes Brazil and Haiti, and includes Spain)
Ariana Grande could reasonably be called Latin, but not Latina. She just tans well so she plays the “racially ambiguous” card when it suits her.
Someone can be hispanic but can they be byespanic?
That’s all ridiculous. You guys (the US) need to get past this race shit. She’s a US citizen by birth and that’s that.
For some reason none of you want to be just “Americans”. You want to divide yourselves up into little tribes that link you back to some place you’ve never been.
If you yourself emigrated, sure…call yourself Italian-American. If it was your parents…you are American and your parents were Italian. If it was your grandparents, you’re just American. Stop pretending.
It would also help your politics no end.
get past this race shit
You want people that are systemically disadvantaged (e.g. over policed, redlined, underrepresented, etc.) to just get over it? All colorblindness does is let people ignore that. Please find a solution with a little more room for reality, history, empathy, and complexity. Thanks.
Get past and get over seem like distinctly different things. Get past suggests moving through and beyond to me.
So how do you suggest people move through and beyond systemic racism?
I don’t think I am really qualified to answer that adequately. The simple answer is people need to stop being racist and start being anti-racist, but that’s a multi-generational project to transform culture and not something that can really be imposed via political will alone. The obvious answer is replace the system, but again there’s the issue of this being the real world so the path to a new system is very messy and potentially involves another civil war given how re-entrenched the forces of racism have become. I’d like to think systemic reform is still possible but realistically Trumpism must be resolved first before reform could ever happen, and there’s a lot of serious issues arising from wealth concentration that potentially have to be dealt with too (i.e. even without Trumpism, we still have a bunch of ultrawealthy racists wielding their money to manipulate society).
Solutions are often simpler when they are made the someone unaffected.
You’re being ridiculous. Humans will never stop dividing ourselves into tribes. And guess what? Prejudice doesn’t have to be a part of that division.
uhhh, race as we know it wasn’t really a thing until well after the romans, before then skin colour was about as interesting as hair and eye colour.
afaik people cared somewhat about ethnicity specifically, but racism as we know it wasn’t a thing at all.
she is. she’s also a native-born u.s. citizen, as are both of her parents.
Does ICE care?
So just American then.
