Past Life, Dandelion & Hampstead are my favs from the Deluxe! Twilight Zone is bottom 2 for me off the Deluxe and can't believe she decided that one was single worthy over the others! I prefer the intro from the standard edition! Warm took a few listens to like but its not a fav! Past Life & Dandelion reminded me of her older music so I vibed a lot with them!

Dee Shanell
2025-04-01 18:28:31 +0000 UTCyeah glinda need to release her 😭 the only songs i didnt really care for were intro-extended and warm. the chorus for warm was so much weaker than the verses imo. and intro is fine its just not something i wanna continue to listen to
JoJo
2025-04-01 17:56:25 +0000 UTCPast life is my songgg i can’t get it out of my head😵💫. I loved everything from the deluxe except intro-extended and hampstead I saw her in an interview saying she scrapped so much stuff from positions due to the reception from the fans (with no taste☕️) that is my favorite album of hers! I appreciate her trying new sounds out, I would like to see her get back to r&biana after wicked In reference to the short film i liked it! idk if i could get my memories wiped though it feels eerie, who are we without our memories?

Sachiii

Lexy
2025-03-31 19:21:34 +0000 UTCIt says no recommendations so that would include youtube also...just comment any requests/recommendations on yt
Sachiii
2025-03-31 18:17:32 +0000 UTCSerious question: Non-reaction request but like second channel content ideas… do you prefer those on youtube also?
Lexy

2025-03-31 11:00:46 +0000 UTCBlackiana is crazy
jayla
2025-03-31 06:11:28 +0000 UTCYea her Positions album was very R&B and most of her fans did it dirty
Vocal Queen Yuju
2025-03-31 03:43:34 +0000 UTCDid you keep any of the deluxe tracks?
Mohammad Zafar
2025-03-31 03:29:48 +0000 UTCCame back here for aris reaction 😆. My favorite is Warm from deluxe and supernatural from standard. But from all her albums non of them come close to dangerous woman album IMO.
Mohammad Zafar
2025-03-31 02:33:28 +0000 UTCTrue I’m glad tho she can switch between her musical theater technique and pop technique, but ES does have some bangers to me.
Harroj
2025-03-30 22:47:30 +0000 UTCWe need Blackiana back immediately
Supreme Victory
2025-03-30 22:08:08 +0000 UTCblackiana 😭

2025-03-30 21:52:44 +0000 UTCi liked eternal sunshine but these additional songs feel unnecessary. but i really like the short film she's so cute as an old lady 🤭
Crissle
2025-03-30 21:46:16 +0000 UTCCompletely unrelated to the video but thank you for putting me on to White Lotus! That show is such a banger. What do you think of the season so far?
Lunarsnow
2025-03-30 21:19:26 +0000 UTCAlso you hair is so cute. Is it Fulani braids?
Jaydiexcx
2025-03-30 21:19:20 +0000 UTCI’m so happy you decided to react to this!
Jaydiexcx
2025-03-30 21:16:18 +0000 UTCThe film was dope!
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:11:43 +0000 UTCLmaoo
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:11:13 +0000 UTC😂
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:10:42 +0000 UTCEternal Sunshine (the song) was worth sitting through every other song I didn't like 😂 same thing with Sabrina's Don't Smile. I'm cool with listening to all the pop songs I hate to find the ones I love lol
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:10:31 +0000 UTCAw damn, her fans don't like her R&B music? Lol lameee
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:07:22 +0000 UTC😭
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:06:13 +0000 UTCNever thought you'd subscribe damn 😂 nah glad to have you here! 🤗
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 21:05:57 +0000 UTCOmg I’m a new member never thought I would subscribe but Dee it’s likes she understands and we have the same thinking patterns sometimes that’s rare for me hahaa
Sa7ekg 027
2025-03-30 20:29:14 +0000 UTCYou’re right, but even those songs I can’t stand😭😅
Meli
2025-03-30 20:16:31 +0000 UTCFor sure
m
2025-03-30 20:06:03 +0000 UTC3:15 Dee heard “Peaches” and got triggered💀
Clitminaj
2025-03-30 19:29:08 +0000 UTCMost of her newer songs are growers. Although I am a huge fan of when she does R&B cause her last album is my favorite and very underrated. It’s honestly sad that her label and majority of her fans don’t want her to do R&B and try to keep her in the Pop genre just cause she’s white.
Nick
2025-03-30 18:22:57 +0000 UTCi think her doing WICKED really altered her voice and the type of vocal delivery, cause dandelion is a pure banger but because 2025 ariana is singing it and not 2019 ariana, the clarity and tonality of the voice feels less biting
BNH
2025-03-30 18:02:05 +0000 UTCI’d say both my favorites are Positions and Sweetener I love them. I feel like this project isn’t that authentic to her… I can’t quite describe it, but maybe it’s her growing and trying different things, which is awesome. I just wish it had gone in a different direction with the sound, production and song subjects. Even Dandelion, a sexual song, doesn’t feel authentic. She has a lot of sexual songs, but I can’t pinpoint why this one feels so different.
Harroj
2025-03-30 17:32:51 +0000 UTCI loved Eternal Sunshine but the deluxe isn't doing it for me outside a couple of songs. I'll keep listening to it to give it a chance. I was more interested in the short film. It was a nice followup to the "We Can't Be Friends" music video and I love the storytelling.
Rainbow
2025-03-30 17:20:44 +0000 UTCthe boy is mine, dandelion, eternal sunshine, true story are for the R&B girlies. im glad she put them in there, cause otherwise the whole thing would be just dance music
BNH
2025-03-30 17:12:38 +0000 UTCeven though i love thank u next and positions more than eternal sunshine i'm glad she did put out this album and the deluxe just cause we need some music while she films her upcoming movies. otherwise, we'd be in a drought 😭
BNH
2025-03-30 17:11:45 +0000 UTCi remember dee said 34+35 and positions were decent, not sure if she heard the full positions album but i think she'd love it more than eternal sunshine
BNH
2025-03-30 17:10:24 +0000 UTCshe wasnt lying when she said “Aint no budget when i'm on the set, if i like it, that's what i get!” 😭
BNH
2025-03-30 17:09:18 +0000 UTCwhich ones did you like? more of the r&b or more of the pop?
BNH
2025-03-30 17:07:04 +0000 UTCi fear the disrespect positions got made ari never want to return to trap/r&b again. dandelion is the only thing similar to that style. but i doubt she ever releases an album like positions again
BNH
2025-03-30 17:06:07 +0000 UTCYou would definitely love her past album positions because it definitely has a more urban r&b sound. Although I understand not wanting to go back because I'm hoping she brings that older sound to her new music in the future. Blackiana needs to make a full comeback lmaoo.
Christian
2025-03-30 17:05:50 +0000 UTCGlad you reacted to this even if it's not your cup of tea, it's really fun to hear your thoughts. For me personally i really loved this deluxe. all 5 new songs added something meaningful to the album. my faves are dandelion and twilight zone. also the short film ATE!
BNH
2025-03-30 17:02:45 +0000 UTCMs ponytail be talking her shit abt her ex husband
kylan
2025-03-30 16:56:37 +0000 UTCNah man this aint it😭 I used to be a fan of her music ( I think it was because her blackiana era, hiphop and r&b inspired sound back then). But this new sound is super boring. The film on the other hand is amazing!! Very creative and interesting storyline, I think acting should be her main course for now…
Meli
2025-03-30 16:56:09 +0000 UTCI didn't like the deluxe at first but when I heard it again it was fye
kylan
2025-03-30 16:56:01 +0000 UTCLullaby Ari 🤣 so fitting!
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 16:54:40 +0000 UTCNo prob 🤗
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 16:53:17 +0000 UTCYayy i was hoping for this, thank you dee! <3
aescadoe
2025-03-30 16:31:49 +0000 UTCIdk if it's me but jeez these songs bleed together something serious. Could barely tell them apart. I liked the film more than the music lol.
Synical
2025-03-30 16:22:49 +0000 UTCWith Hemstead (the last song) that’s her actual father playing the roll of the doctor who put her together. Basically, the songs before were her going through her divorce and her dad is the one who “built her up again” in the end
Angie M
2025-03-30 16:10:49 +0000 UTCLol not Ms. Grande basically telling us in that short film, that moment she rolled into that Cerebro room, I was like, "oh she is the new Professor X of the X-Men Academy, I see"
Darian Diamond
2025-03-30 16:01:54 +0000 UTCI honestly wished she didn’t come out with an album. Lullaby Ari is not my fav lol. She’s been through a lot of loss & you can tell Wicked and acting has helped heal her. I think music brings her back to that sadness which is why she’s said a tour will not happen anytime soon & she barely did any promotions for this album. We have few pop girlies to hold us over until she would’ve been ready to serve us again if she wanted to.
Dany
2025-03-30 15:44:22 +0000 UTCThey had a bad relationship due to her parents’ divorce, She alluded to this in “thank you next”. They became estranged and did not get along resulting in not talking at all for years.
Dany
2025-03-30 15:39:14 +0000 UTCYeah I agree with you here. Ariana’s albums all have different sounds to them. This album definitely had a lot more pop than what Dee likes. It’s the same with gagas new album. A lot of it was pop isn’t Dee’s cup of tea
Tom
2025-03-30 15:31:41 +0000 UTCnot me chile it went triple platinum in my house 😭
JoJo
2025-03-30 15:13:38 +0000 UTCIdk man.. yall did positions dirty 😭
Vocal Queen Yuju
2025-03-30 15:10:11 +0000 UTCI’ve actually seen a lot of people talk negatively about it more then positive. Which is odd cause it’s not that bad but I do agree with others that eternal sunshine is better then brighter days
Vocal Queen Yuju
2025-03-30 15:08:38 +0000 UTCI don’t hear Disney or this so called baby voice at all 🤔
Vocal Queen Yuju
2025-03-30 15:06:30 +0000 UTCHELP no cus the way it actually SOCKED me in the throat the first time i heard it but then i couldn't stop going back to it. We all lived the same experience 😭
Kewi.
2025-03-30 15:04:25 +0000 UTCI mean… that doesn’t bother me cause Shoulda Woulda Coulda by FLO where the drums are off beat the whole song and it’s my favorite song in general lmao
Vocal Queen Yuju
2025-03-30 14:59:32 +0000 UTCMy favs are Dandelion and Past Life and I kinda like the intro. The film definitely gave Black Mirror vibes. I know Ari must have spent a fortune on that!
Jessica
2025-03-30 14:57:33 +0000 UTCHonestly this album is very different than most of her other ones it’s more dance pop so if you don’t connect to the singles then the rest won’t either. Her older stuff was definitely more r&b heavy (this is not me recommending I promise😭)
m
2025-03-30 14:56:11 +0000 UTCIdk the Ariana lore but the guy at the end is her father. Not sure why they had a bad relationship, but seems she's reconnected with him
Kewi.
2025-03-30 14:55:44 +0000 UTCThis era didn’t really catch me at all. The album was okay. I liked about three songs,but the deluxe didn’t make it any better, IN MY OPINION. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just not for me. I’m hoping the next era will be different.
Harroj
2025-03-30 14:54:39 +0000 UTCI think i like that and dandelion but does no one else hear the delayed drum kick in dandelion?? it catches me so off guard 🤣
Kewi.
2025-03-30 14:52:54 +0000 UTCThe last memory is her dad (it’s actually him acting) and it’s about them rebuilding their broken relationship… cause she always talked about their relationship not being the best cause of her parents’ divorce. So basically it symbolises it coming back together
m
2025-03-30 14:52:20 +0000 UTCHAHAHAHAHAH
clarence.
2025-03-30 14:48:09 +0000 UTCI did not really care for the newer songs but I’m obsessed with Past Life
Vocal Queen Yuju
2025-03-30 14:44:19 +0000 UTCI can picture her dancing with the aliens! 😂😂 Nah that would’ve been a bit too unserious lol
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 14:44:17 +0000 UTCYeah it’s def giving Disney on a couple songs, especially the one I said sounds childlike. Her fans seem to eat this up though lol so I guess she’s giving them what they want
Dee Shanell
2025-03-30 14:41:25 +0000 UTCLOVED this Short Movie! Super creative way to release a deluxe album🔥 (A little but slow paced in some scenes) As for the music... the only one I like is 'Warm'. And your music video 'concept /idea' for 'Warm' was actually very fitting Dee😂🔥) Would've been a perfect fit because it also has that kinda 'Break Free' type of vibe imo!
clarence.
2025-03-30 14:39:26 +0000 UTCMiss her old sound. These Disney beats and this baby voice has to GOOO
