Ariana Grande looks completely ridiculous trying to be sexy, slithering around on stage according to Bette Midler.
Slamming the “Problem” and “Love Me Harder” singer in a recent interview, Midler says whoever is telling her to go out on stage like she has been needs to stop — that includes her mother or her manager… whoever it is.
“It’s always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous. I mean, it’s silly beyond belief and I don’t know who’s telling her to do it. I wish they’d stop. But it’s not my business, I’m not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that’s what you’ve got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold,” Midler told the UK’s Telegraph.
Adding that people really like to pretend they’re having sex on stage, Midler went on to question what the end game is going to be. Like how will Ariana, or other artists for that matter, sustain their appeal after they take everything off? What’s left in the end?
“They really like to slap each other’s butts. I mean, don’t ask me. It’s beyond me. I’m too old. I don’t know what the end game is going to be. I don’t know where you go from all that sex in your 20s. I don’t know how you sustain it,” Midler said before giving the best statement in her entire interview.
“Trust your talent. You don’t have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead. You really don’t.”
Amen!
