altered e v e r y single melodic line from the studio version on the spot & never once fell out of key through all her intricate note & run choices. this caliber of live vocal creativity (& quick thinking) is something you literally just cannot teach.
haven’t seen anyone talk about how ariana deliberately put “like i do”, a song close to the sound people want from her after “freak” / “warning signs”, which are about how she won’t listen to the public’s demands on the petal tracklist.. this album deserves more credit !
ariana’s extra vocals in like i do tonight in chicago…we really gotta wake up the fact that NO OTHER pop star today can give us vocals and creativity like that
