Ariana Grande Is STILL Copying Mariah Carey

On the coattails of Ariana Grande’s newest studio effort, ‘Dangerous Woman,’ we must take a look at the reason why some people are not hopping on Miss Grande’s bandwagon. It turns out that this "dangerous woman" may not be as dangerous as we thought. Or as original as we thought.


Here, we have a picture of Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande. One of them is a living legend, with 18 Billboard Hot 100 #1 Singles (more than any other solo artist). The other has 0 #1 hits. It only makes sense for an upcoming singer to want to achieve the same success as the Best-Selling Female Artist. However, Ariana Grande draws so much inspiration from her idol, Mariah Carey, that she is imitating some of her legendary moves.

First of all, let us discuss their fashion statements:

Ariana Grande is well-known for her signature ponytail. However, who slayed this 'doo first?!


Okay... coincidence, right?

How about this sleek black ensemble?

Okay, this is just all a fluke. There is no copying going on here, keep on moving, Folks!

OKAY, C'MON! This is not even the same dress. But it is eerily similar.

How about this iconic MC look from 1995's "Fantasy" music video?


Maybe everyone has those shorts? I can't say....


I mean.... This is just a similarity. There is nothing unusual about this.


Ah-ha! Ariana Grande is a trendsetter! I mean look at that nifty fan. I am so glad she did something fir-


I stand corrected.

OK. I know what you are all thinking. Yes, these just all happen to be the same outfits (and props). However, this is not the only thing that Ariana Grande draws from Mariah Carey's prowess. Was Ariana channeling Mariah from her sexy 1999 Rainbow album when she wore this outfit?


We'll never know...

Maybe Ariana just happened to stumble upon the same outfit. Or maybe she stumbled upon this through her research.



Now how does Mariah Carey feel about all of these comparisons?

Clearly, Mariah is not impressed by her...

Still think Ariana is an original artist? Hear me out. Yes, just because she has a wide vocal range, does not mean that she is trying to sound like Mariah Carey. And yes, just because she is making music in the same genre as Mariah does not mean she is copying her. HOWEVER, let us now take a look at some very uncanny similarities between their song titles, artwork, music video concepts, and choreography!


SAME LEG POSITIONING


"My Everything" & "My All"


ARIANA COPYING MARIAH'S BUTTERFLY OBSESSION

Mariah Carey's "Honey" & Ariana Grande's "Break Free." SAME CONCEPT AND THEME.

SAME ALBUM ARTWORK FOR THEIR SOPHOMORE ALBUMS.

EXPLAIN THIS.

Alright, Folks. It is now up to you to decide. Imitation? or Inspiration?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
