I love Ariana she is one of my fav artists I listen to her music alot. I don't think she is underrated though. She is one of the biggest superstars on the planet right now and everyone in the real world seems to know this. She has had hit after hit in the past few years and her image is still as cool as ever!

This too, I think if you ignore numbers, people still view her as one of the biggest pop stars right now.

Lately, she is a bit. Her album and songs are getting good reviews, but they're not taking off as well as hoped with the public. After her last hit era, Focus not becoming another big hit for her was extremely unusual. Yeah, it was a re-tread of Problem, but that's never been a issue with songs becoming successful before. Danger Woman is awesome and that's exactly why it wasn't a big hit - the public simply doesn't buy such brilliant music that's so different to everything else at the moment. We'll have to wait and see how Into You goes but seeing as her album's out now, her chances will go right down. I think it's odd how she's yet to achieve a #1 in the US. She's got the full package for that. But honestly, youth and looks don't get you anywhere now if you're a female - if the public don't like your music, it's not happening. I think her lack of Grammys is very odd. Even if the album didn't win anything, Problem deserved something, come on! The academy seem a lot harder on her, even though she has the hits and the talent to get nominated and awarded. So, currently, she is somewhat underrated. Maybe it's rumours of her diva behaviour that put people off? We do tend to be less supportive when women have attitude problems but male artists can be as bad as they like and still get sales.
