ARIANA GRANDE PERFORMS "THE BOY IS MINE" AND COVERS JANET JACKSON ON SMAPxSMAP (JUNE 17, 2024)

Ariana Grande is bringing 'Eternal Sunshine' to Japan to promote the upcoming project and its multi-week number one lead single, "The Boy Is Mine". Japan is the latest visit in Ariana's global promotional trek, following appearances in the United Kingdom, Canada, the US, and Australia. Ari's first stop in Japan was SMAPxSMAP, where she performed a supercharged version of "The Boy Is Mine" alongside a cover of Janet Jackson's 1997 chart-topping house infused single, "Together Again". Fans are curious as to potential meanings behind Ari's decision to cover the song, wondering if the house and dance-pop infused song is a hint towards the sound of "Eternal Sunshine".

Ariana was introduced for the first time and was first seen on the second story of a multi-level stage set as the intro to "The Boy Is Mine" began. She swayed with the intro and added some new vocal ad-libs before the band kicked in to begin the track. The song was accented with new instrumental riffs from the guitars and synthesizers, elevating the track in a new live version. In the song's first chorus, Ariana disappeared backstage before reappearing on the lower level of the stage. During the second half of the song, she was accompanied by two dancers as they performed its choreography. Towards the song's conclusion, the guitar played a solo as Ari delivered the final vocals with finesse.

Later in the show, Ariana reappeared on the stage as the camera focused on her face. She looked into the camera and said, "I'm so glad that we can be Together Again. Japan, you are my Eternal Sunshine" before Janet Jackson's 1997 single, "Together Again", began playing. The slick, addictive bassline began just as Ari finished her introduction before she moved into some beginning vocal runs. Ariana sang the house-focused song with passion, conveying the track's emotions regarding loss and taking comfort in faith that a lost loved one is watching over you and that you will be reunited with them in Heaven or the afterlife. Ariana shortened the track a bit, but did not fail to deliver her signature powerhouse vocals, elevating the original version of the song.

Fans were immediately buzzing with excitement from the performances, enjoying the new version of "The Boy Is Mine" and showing adoration for her cover of "Together Again". They are also curious as to whether Ariana's decision to cover the song is a tease regarding the sound of her upcoming album, "Eternal Sunshine", which she name dropped in her introduction to the performance.

ARIANA GRANDE PERFORMS A STRIPPED-DOWN VERSION OF "THE BOY IS MINE" ON SUKKIRI!! (JUNE 18, 2024)

Ariana Grande's promotional campaign for her newest smash single, "The Boy Is Mine", and its upcoming parent album, 'Eternal Sunshine', has made its way to Japan! The era kicked off in the United Kingdom earlier this month with appearances on the BBC and Graham Norton before returning to America for appearances on Saturday Night Live, and more. Ariana's first Japanese stop was SMAPxSMAP, where she performed an elevated version of "The Boy Is Mine" alongside a cover of Janet Jackson's 1997 single, "Together Again". She also performed on the variety show Sukkiri, bringing a stripped-down version of her latest number one hit.

After Ariana was introduced by the show's hosts, a flute began playing a slowed-down rendition of the opening melody from "The Boy Is Mine". She delivered some slick vocal ad-libs as the camera made its way to finding her among smoke and shadows on the dimly lit stage. Wearing a black, shimmery cocktail dress with a regal netting covering her neck and face, she began singing the song's first verse as an extremely gentle and small drum beat carried the song's slower-than-usual rhythm. The melody was carried by strings and accentuated by the flute from the intro. The strings were reminiscent of those used during Ariana's performance of an unreleased track on Saturday Night Live earlier this month.

During the song's chorus, the strings swelled and crescendoed as Ariana delivered her soft, playful vocals alongside the stripped back melody. An attractive male dancer appeared on stage as the second verse of the track began, making his way to Ariana slowly and sensually. Once he arrived center stage with Ari, he took her and they began performing a slow waltz of sorts to the track. He spun her just as the song's chorus arrived once again before exiting the stage as she leaves her hand out, seeming to wish for him not to leave. She omitted the song's bridge for this performance, instead including an extended play-out from the previous chorus after the dancer left the stage. The minimal, haunting performance was a stark contrast from the playful, choreographed numbers Ari had used for previous appearances.

ARIANA GRANDE SITS DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH THE NATIONAL (JUNE 20, 2024)

In a candid interview on CBC's flagship evening news program "The National," pop sensation Ariana Grande delved into the complexities of fame, media scrutiny, and the transformative power of music. Known for her powerhouse vocals and unapologetic persona, Grande spoke eloquently about her journey through the often turbulent waters of celebrity.

As the interview commenced, Grande reflected on her approach to handling media labels and intense public scrutiny. "I've learned to take it in stride," she remarked, her expression thoughtful yet assured. "It's part of the territory, but it does become more challenging when the focus shifts heavily onto my personal life."

Indeed, Grande has been a fixture in tabloid headlines, her relationships and personal challenges dissected under the microscope of public opinion. However, she maintains a resilient attitude, refusing to let external perceptions define her. "I try to stay focused on my music and what truly matters to me," she explained. "It's about reclaiming control over my narrative, turning those labels around, and making them a part of my creative expression."

One such expression of this empowerment is her latest single, "The Boy Is Mine," a catchy pop anthem that Grande described as a playful yet assertive statement against media stereotypes. "I wanted to take those labels and flip them on their head," she shared with a smile. "It's about reclaiming that narrative and having fun with it, while still making a meaningful statement."

Grande also offered a glimpse into her highly anticipated upcoming album, "Eternal Sunshine," hinting at its themes of growth and introspection. "This album is deeply personal to me," she revealed. "I hope it comes off as a reflection of where I am now—respectable and grown, but still with that spark of creativity and passion that drives me."

During the interview, Grande's sincerity and poise resonated, underscoring her evolution as both an artist and a public figure. Her ability to navigate the complexities of fame while staying true to herself serves as an inspiration to her legion of fans worldwide.

 

**Excerpt from the Interview:**

*Host:* Ariana, your new single "The Boy Is Mine" seems to be making an impact with the masses - its number one around the world for two weeks now. Can you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind it?

*Ariana Grande:* Absolutely. "The Boy Is Mine" is really about taking control of the narratives that have been imposed on me by the media. It's my way of reclaiming those labels and turning them into something positive and fun. I think it's important to laugh at those things sometimes, you know? So I made it into a pop song that’s now really successful and people can dance to it and make memories with it - so I win I think.

 

*Host:* And your upcoming album, "Eternal Sunshine," what can fans expect from it?

*Ariana Grande:* It's a reflection of where I am in my life right now—there's a lot of growth and introspection. I wanted this album to feel honest and respectable, but also to have that energy that people love from my music. I'm really excited for everyone to hear it.

As the interview drew to a close, Ariana Grande left viewers with a sense of anticipation for her future endeavors while imparting a powerful message of resilience and creativity. Her ability to turn adversity into artistry continues to define her as one of the most influential voices in contemporary pop music.

Oh my god 방심한 틈 난

Hooked 덫에 걸려들어

All shook 내 머릿속엔, no

But say let's go, let's go, go

 

소름 돋는 thrill 뭔가 색달라

다른 건 재미없어 시시해 (Like, like, like)

마비된 듯해 모든 감각도

어떤 자극도 오지 않는 걸

 

It tastes so sweet but sour

Oh, sugar and spice

처음이야 이런

피할 수 없어

이건 gravity (Ah, ah, ah)

아찔한 dynamite

알지만 못 참아

어딘가 어딘가

고장 났어

더 크게 더 크게

번져가

 

I wanna scream and shout

왜인진 몰라

미묘한 듯 좋아

딱 붙어있어

넌 정말 licorice (Licorice)

Licorice (Licorice)

Licorice (Li-li-li-)
