Ariana Grande breaks silence on vocal changes and backlash
The topic of Ariana Grande's voice is trending again on the internet. The singer reveals what causes changes in her tone. Simultaneously, the singer's team is blocking slander directed at her. Is the artist telling the truth?
Ariana Grande is a popular American singer and actress. She began her career at a very young age, initially appearing in Nickelodeon shows such as "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat." Over time, she focused on music. She is known for songs like "Problem," "No Tears Left to Cry" and "7 Rings," all of which achieved high positions on global music charts.
The star recently decided to return to her acting career. She appeared in the musical Wicked, which had its world premiere on 20th November.
Is Ariana Grande deceiving her fans?
Recently, Ariana has been constantly in the spotlight. Interviews, galas, and events are related to the premiere of Wicked. Many internet users have noticed that the singer constantly changes her voice—even several times during one interview. She smoothly transitions from a low and serious tone to a sweet one resembling the voice of the movie character Galinda.
The singer revealed in an interview with Variety magazine that it is difficult for her to get rid of the mannerisms of the fictional character because she prepared for this role for a very long time: "Galinda required a lot of vocal work for me. Certain things maybe won’t melt away. Some will, but I’m really grateful for the pieces that will stay with us forever. What a beautiful thing to be left with, and to feel the ghost of every day."
Does the singer intentionally change her voice?
This is not the first time that internet users have questioned Ariana's voice. A few years ago, the singer was accused of deliberately changing her voice tone. Last November, she discussed this topic for the last time and responded to one of the comments on her TikTok: "Sometimes it is higher and sometimes it is lower. I have addressed this many times and won’t be addressing it again. I’m me and I’m here, no matter the placement."
The artist apparently had enough of the constant accusations. Her team has begun blocking entries and posts from people accusing Ariana of deliberately changing her voice to sound like an African American. Many internet users are outraged by the censorship to which they have been subjected.
