Smother Em Eh 6,830 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Ari is 5 & 1/2 years into her career and has released 4 Albums (with one on the way) and has gotten a lot of popularity since then. Gaga was an icon literally like a year into her career with the singles, Just Dance, Poker Face, Paparazzi, Bad Romance, Telephone and their videos, her 2009 VMA Performance, boundary pushing artistry, outrageous Fashion etc. but what about Ariana? Is Ariana an icon? Has she given us anything to be considered an icon? Discuss Little Monsters! Get Applause & G.U.Y to 1B views! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 No. An icon is recognisable by one symbol alone. Ariana Grande has no image (the ponytail is still Madonna's). An icon has a song that will always be remembered and played. You still listen to Bad Romance or Like a Prayer on the radio. Is there a song from her first three albums that still gets a lot of radioplay? An icon is admired and acclaimed and inspires basically everyone. She hasn't reached that sort of acclaim. Being extremely successful (and she is right now) is far from being an icon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The only thing iconic about her is a ponytail so I’d say no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikvs 2,576 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Lol def yes. Maybe it will not last decades but at the moment she's one of the most popular artists around the world and I can see it last for a few more years. Her makeup, fashion and hairstyle are iconic and is imitated and recognized everywhere, even her singing style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 67,397 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I mean she's not really 5.5 years into her career, lots of (American) kids grew up with her on Victorious, and Sam & Cat was a thing, so technicallyyyy she's been around for 9 years which does impact who listens to her and streams her now imo. like Selena Gomez, without Wizards she wouldn't have a career in music lol (for sure Cat's role wasn't so huge, but she was there lol and had a presence) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
