    Ariana Grande is Spectacular!!!

    Ariana is a One Woman Show! She is superbly talented for Entertainment, she is a record-breaking music artist as well as she is a theater kid and a full threat. The quality that she brings in to the table is very above her peers, she does a great job commanding SNL as host and musical guest. She might be the last best person to perform the double task satisfactorily, up to this day. Complete artist. Remember she was 22 years old at the time and she knocked it out the park, very impressive!

    Ariana shines when the skits involve her singing talent so she can show off her musical chops but at the same time she has a great sense of humor. She is also a great celebrity impressionist, which she nailed like 7 times in an hour because when you have Ariana Grande you don't need anybody else.

    Highlights are her monologue, the Kids' Choice Awards parody, "This Is Not a Feminist Song" and to see Ariana as a mermaid with a lovely voice, of course. The Tidal skit is definitely the peak moment, while the Celebrity Family Feud and the Sound of Music parts are memorable. Indeed the worst parts of the episode are when Ariana is not on screen! Bring her back already!

    Feeling like a kid...

    We don't often catch Saturday Night Live but we viewed this on HULU very specifically for Ariana Grande and were not disappointed. Her opening dialogue has Kenan Thompson joining in with that they are both Nickelodeon stars. The skit on the Kid's Choice Awards was hilarious!
