Ariana Grande Hit Glass-Shattering Whistle Notes Singing This Song from Grease
She sounded like a pure angel!
To celebrate her introduction as a Coach on The Voice in Season 21, pop star Ariana Grande chose to sing a song for the other three Coaches as a formal induction. Her selection? She went back to her musical theater roots by crooning "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from Grease, originally sung by Olivia Newton-John.
In a fun Season 21 teaser clip, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton all sat together in a circle on a scenic starry night.
"I'm not sure if you're aware, but we kind of have a tradition," Clarkson told Grande.
"Yeah, the new Coach has to sing us a song around the campfire," Legend explained.
"Oh my god, that's so awkward, I couldn't possibly..." Grande responded shyly. However, she then whipped out a microphone without hesitation, and a glowing spotlight beamed on her.
Shelton promptly strummed on his guitar while Grande sang the bridge in a super clear tone, flipping into some elegant head voice. Sounding like a princess, animals became to swarm around her, drawn to her enchanting sound.
"This is going to be an amazing season," Shelton said with a nod before Grande hit some pleasantly piercing whistle notes.
