Ariana Grande, the undoubted queen of pop music. In this fickle world, in this changing industry, where today’s beloved star is tomorrow’s forgotten echo, Grande manages to shine through. Her star is as bright as it comes, with a name that falls into the category of pop names that will simply make us move. What is it about Ariana Grande that makes people love her so much? No, love is too light a term… I meant more like unendurable devotion to the point of, say, getting a tattoo of her.
The voice in a piece of writing can be a powerful and captivating force. As a msuic fan, I think a voice is captivating when it moves beyond mere articulation to become connected to a genuine intellect and feelings. Then the voice does not simply say something—it has something to say. A captivating voice is a voice that is linked to an interesting and provocative mind.
A voice may be made vivid and interesting by having a consistent point of view and tone. But consistency must not be the only aim of the writer, since that would lead to monotony. It is often the quirks in someone’s writing that make it interesting. In Kyung-Sook Shin’s “Please Look After Mom,” the voice of the first part, the voice of the daughter Chi-hon, is relentlessly sardonic and blunted. It’s so relentless that it feels false, as if it weren’t really belong to the character’s personality at all but rather belonged to the writer herself. It’s only late in the first part that the character lets down her literal and figurative shield and gives the reader a fuller look at her emotions and thinking. Similarly, the communication of dread, or anxiety or panic can be a fascinating voice. In Haruki Murakami’s novel “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle,” the voice shifts between the dreamlike and hallucinatory to a convincingly concrete pulse of alarm.
More important is the more sinister and hidden inconsistency in people’s voices. Writers will often evangelize about how they’re impossible to pigeonhole because they are capable of any and every sort of feeling. But it’s the unspoken inconsistencies that are most instructive about people. A day rarely goes by that I’m not struck by the unpredictable ways my friends and colleagues behave — warm and open one moment, cold and withdrawn the next. That’s what keeps people interesting and keeps their voices interesting.
Beyond a voice’s content, though, it must also make an impression through a range of techniques that combine to make it interesting. A writer can let a voice loose in colloquial asides to build intimacy, even while the main narrative leans on verbs of thinking and observing in order to consider something profound. Sebastian Barry’s novel “Days Without End” seems to tell the story of a romantic friendship between two young soldiers during the United States Indian Wars. But it is his straightforward but startling observation about the emotional promises they carry within their love that actually lets readers feel what the story is about — what Barry’s voice assumes readers are capable of both understanding and feeling.
The path to pop stardom was paved with an unusual voice. It is a vehicle for carrying great emotional weight, exposing vulnerability and garnering power. It is Ariana Grande and it is unlike anything we’ve heard before. We stand in awe of its range: a lithe, flexible thing that moves swiftly through octaves, climbing and dipping with sacred ease from seraphic countertenor to earth-shaking belt.
Her voice is not just an instrument; it’s a narrator. It tells stories of love, heartbreak, resilience, and strength, bringing emotion to life with every lyric. From the gut-wrenching “Breathin’” to the electric “Into You,” her voice takes you on a journey, puts you in her shoes, and wraps you in emotion. Cyrano is a better performer.
Developing a sense of worthwhile and meaningful vulnerability is a challenge that many face. Addressing what is holding us back and embracing our vulnerability can help us to transition to a better state of being. We all face some sense of that and discovering someone willing to support and understand what we are going through in our times of vulnerability is great. Finding females who discuss their own vulnerability and serves to be an inspiration. I definitely believe this is the best way to connect with someone and be able to establish trust. I have a best friend who is always there for me whenever I need to confide in somebody. Sharing stories and confiding in each other is the way our friendship has grown over the past couple months. I do not know exactly what I would do without them having my back. One afternoon when I least expected, my friend turned off their car, and began to speak to me about my heart being overwhelmed, and struggling with it all on my own. I suddenly felt a piece of my past emerging back. Especially during the first few years of high school a lot of stuff happened to me with family and guy problems. I had no one at the time who I would go to when something happens. Having my best friend come into my life issues have been resolved in a much more peaceful way.
There’s no doubt vulnerability has an inescapable power over us that has a way to forced us all. I do not know much how vulnerability operates because of me not having any trust. By sharing free articles and other forms of content through the website, I hope to create a community wherein people can deal with vulnerability and step forward in the big world with that knowledge. The definition of vulnerable is defined as being susceptible to a physical or emotional attack or harm. Vulnerability never guarantees instant vulnerability. It does not always mean it is even welcome and definitely is not enjoyable. Vulnerability is a strong tool in search of an investigation. I love how she had a lot of great points. She even had some in targets. Being very vulnerable free, healthy, and happy I absolutely agreed with it.
One of Ariana Grande’s most appealing traits is her willingness to be vulnerable in her music. She exposes her feelings, recounting her triumphs and her abominations with a candor that forges — with a breathtaking lack of difficulty — an emotional connection with her fans.
With hits like “thank u, next” and “No Tears Left To Cry”, Ariana has consistently provided her candid mediation on life, love and personal tragedy. Her music has always acted as a two-way mirror: rather than being a surface for fans to simply reflect their emotions upon, she uses her lyrics as a mirror to her fans. Her transparency and relatability have helped her turn infatuated fans into loyal fans who consider her an idol and a regular person navigating through life.
Understanding and growth can be found within the journey, or may even be considered by some journeys more as the goal, rather than only the destination. In the poetry anthology, Apprentice Writers Program’s 2020 edition, the anthology titled “Crafting Essay” tells the stories of many writers’ journeys as they conquer the task of constructing their own identities and become seasoned writers. The texts of Mary Elizabeth Marks, Brian Ramirez, and Ruben Villezcas, just three of the many writers in the anthology, discuss both the struggle of making their own identites as well as identity as a concept.
The text by Mary Elizabeth Parks, “Not All Summer in a Day”, explicates the story of a writer facing the challenges of dissimilarity and her peers. Parks examines the concept of individuality through the perspective of being excluded because of differences in appearance. Elie Wiesel once stated, “Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.” Mary submits that everyone is essential in their own individual way and without every person the world would not be a whole. Mary asks us how we can still care for people even when they’re going through tough times, since you don’t know what’s going on in their life. She explores how can survive without friends and concludes that it’s difficult and unfathomable. She thinks about how if we knew we were going to have five kids but it turned out we only had one; well, that one would get twice as many toys. The writer remembers how folks would call her “daughter of hatter”, because her dad was a hatter. It just made her so mad that she used to get just so sad.
In Brian Ramirez’s text, “The Giant Snail”, Brian informs us that even though the fact these snails are born from eggs, their texture is that of rubber, and when they’re born they are smaller than a piece of sand. When an egg is hatched and the animal is small enough for me, they don’t even eat them because the don’t want to go through that whole process of killing an animal. They live up to the age of 75; which is crazy to even think about, considering that I’ll probably be done with high school in not even the next five years. The writer asks, could the impossible might become one day possible? What sports do they like? How do they act without any food? What do they even do if they’re not afraid of predators? The story talks about how snails are delicate, but first you must know when baby snails are born, it has to be raining because they carry a lot of water (laughs).
Lastly, the text “Walking a Mile” by Ruben Villezcas is perhaps the most violent text in the collection, but the writer does make it up by having a little note at the end. The text discusses incontinently the death, grief, and change. It’s sort of about one of the ways that we confront those things which is by doing what we think God would want us to do. To succeed someone must have a lot of courage. Most of all the text speaks about another level; it is the level which reveals who the person is. The decision was made, and the kids were dropped off at my wife so they could have fun for a little while.
Ariana’s iconic image goes further than having a great voice. She has created a great and unique image for herself. She usually has a high single ponytail on her head. She usually wears long sweaters with thigh boots and cat eyeliner. Ariana Grande’s image is very iconic like his music. Ariana’s image would express confidence and somebody who doesn’t take no for an answer.
This outfit isn’t simply clothes: it is a work of art. A manifestation of the way she feels, the way she wants to be seen. It is a message to the girl in the back row, the boy on the internet, the person in the mirror. It is a declaration: Be proud of who you are, even if it isn’t perfect, even if it isn’t what anyone else expects from you. Stand out. Be different. Be yourself.
Unstoppable and Dynamic Career that Inspires the World
The rise of Ariana Grande to superstardom has been impressively fast. Each of the pop star’s albums has top the charts with huge hits that have only gotten more infectious and memorable. From the sultry come-on of “Dangerous Woman” to the empowered “God Is a Woman,” Grande keeps releasing songs that capture the public’s attention and make the case that she’s now one of the most important musicians of her era.
But it’s not just her catchy hooks that define Grande’s music. It’s the records she shatters with each release. When she drops an album, it routinely debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Not to mention she became the first artist since The Beatles to have the No. 1, 2, and 3 top songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. This is not just an accolade but a testament to her profound impact on the craft.
With our three place based organizing models, our goal is to créer the long-lasting, long-term political power necessary for communities to control their own destinies. By organizing strong, informed coalitions, we provide residents the opportunities to create policies that contribute to civic health and accessibility, affordable housing, economic justice, and equity in youth services. In doing so, we redefine what’s possible for low-income, minority communities and set a progressive standard.
Our members take on projects that build the leadership skills that fuel effective advocacy and meaningful social change. Through a unique mix of hands-on training, project management, coaching and technical assistance, and accountability, we help members build and implement skills in community organizing, stabilizing neighborhoods, lobbying, and voter engagement.
Through our place based organizing work in North Philly, Chester, the Lehigh Valley, and on the border of Kensington and Norris Square, Project H.O.M.E., the Housing Alliance, and One Day at a Time have become, among many other achievements, local institutions that receive comprehensive, accountable contracts from government to create permanent housing at the same time that they also organize residents to push for and shape the creation of permanent housing policies.
Through our advocacy on tax and welfare policies as basic needs, we have made important strikes in the campaign to level the playing field for working families. We’re members of the Better Choices for Pennsylvania and the Raise the Wage coalition, and the Asset Building Policy Group.
Through our work supporting the Right to a Roofs campaign HtF is well on its way to creating a massive statewide movement committed to changing the way we think about and create permanent housing.
And through running Project Change, we provided meaningful employment opportunities and significant skills to over 2000 neighborhood youth over a decade and a half. Today, Project Change is the Philadelphia Youth Obesity Collaborative. It’s embedded in the city’s youth serving systems far deeper than HtF has ever been.
Our members achieve and lead tangible and lasting change. The campaigns and leadership development work alone have created meaningful changes in nearly every policy area in which we operate. But our purpose has never been simple policy change. We organize poor and working people to develop power so that they can change the world and the world will stay changed after we’re gone.
It’s not just racking up streams on Spotify charts though; Ariana has been a vocal advocate for a number of social issues close to her heart, has used her platform as one of the most followed people in the world to raise awareness and support for a range of issues from mental health and gender equality, amongst others. She’s an activist not just because she shows up to events for show, but has actively engaged with organizations in order to support their work.
Her music often carries powerful messages, like the loud and self-assured call for self-love in “7 Rings” or the rallying cry for women’s empowerment in “God is a Woman.” These songs in particular have become anthems for many of her fans, empowering and unifying them.
A Worldwide Community of Fans
One of the most impressive things about Ariana Grande’s trajectory has been the way she’s managed to harness that love. The singer’s fans, who’ve come together as the “Arianators,” are not passive consumers by any stretch. They are a robust, diverse and colorful collection of people with stories to share and styles all their own, from all around the world. There are white-haired grandmothers and six-year-olds in Ariana drag. There are teenage boys and trans men and tattoo shop owners and guinea pig enthusiasts, and everyone in between. Ariana loves them, and they love her. It is a love that binds them all.
With about one minute left in her stadium-size concert at Madison Square Garden on June 18, Ariana Grande stopped singing. For several moments, the only sound filling the cavernous Manhattan space was thousands of fans shrieking in happy confusion.
It’s one thing for a pop star to use the touring cliché of playing a New York show as a chance to call herself a star-struck girly girl. It’s another for her fans to believe her. For 40,000 teenage girls to believe, deeply, that there she was, gazing up at a pink-marble sky over the most famous arena in the world and seeing the twinkling, constellated faces of the equally, ravishingly famous girl stars she worshipped.
But ever since Grande, now 26, opened her channels to monitor her direct messages on Twitter, the Arianators haven’t been able to get enough of their Favorite Celebrity. Of a zillion R.T.s and Wow, ur more often than not the one that’s real.
It’s 2019: Nothing tangible about anything modern props up an image for long. Nothing fades faster than attention. Star power no longer follows fame: The most enduring constellation of all — talent, inspiration and unconditional love from a legion who, in their own selfie culture, know to crown the ultimate princess of Pop Music in a maxi-pose.
Grande, who in just another few months will likely ascend to the greatest level of award-winning and festival-ritualized stardom, doesn’t particularly need anyone to remind her of her own grind, and release and resilience. (Here she is, already reminding you: “I’m just fixin’ my weave, yeah.”)
