Born To Slay 10,996 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 For Ariana Grande, the joke for years has been that she can't sell on her own and that she needs features to be successful. Has No Tears Left To Cry ended that? The single has been quite successful in any metric you can think of and it's a solo single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 59,929 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 She didn't have to prove anything IMO Baby I didn't have any features. Break Free only has a producer feature. She just likes collabing I guess. I love NTLTC and am glad it's doing well in streams and itunes and radio. Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuri 21,636 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I guess Ariana ft. Nicki will be the new Gwen Stefani ft. Eve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginald 13,677 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 In my opinion, that was proven since Into You. I think features and rap verses in pop songs are so tired. They were new and fresh for a while but after 25 years of them, *yawwwwwwn* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 She's never needed features tbh... Rap verses impact on female pop singles is very much overrated. Labels act as if putting X rapper on any song immediately makes it more likely to be a single, but the truth is if its not a good verse or a good song, it won't do well, even if it does open them up to be played on Rhythmic, Urban, etc. (Not there's anything wrong with having a feature on a song... Stans just look for reasons to cause drama and shade people Who gives a **** if a song goes #1 but has a feature or whatever, it takes nothing away from the song) 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a thing during My Everything up until Dangerous Woman that her biggest hits were featuring other artists. They were just using that to drag her comparing her to Selena Gomez etc on forums like atrl. Ariana has proven she's a force long ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisGuyTony 23,644 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 She proved it a while ago but the tired collaborations with Nicki and other mumble rappers make it hard to convince non-fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Stache 2,066 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 One Last Time, Dangerous Woman, and Into You had no features Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipthistea 21,099 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The only thing it proved it that she needs better songs with deeper lyrics. She deserves them. Her voice deserves better songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 54,908 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 She has so many solo songs I think she's doing just fine. Dangerous Woman, Focus, No Tears Left to Cry, Into You, Break Free, One Last Time. But yes she's had some really huge hits with features like Side to Side, Love Me Harder, Problem, Bang Bang.
