Is there nothing that Ariana Grande can’t sing? The former “The Voice” coach was put to the test during the February 5 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” when she was presented with a song she didn’t know. Spoiler alert: she totally nailed it.
Ariana Grande Takes on ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ Challenge With Hilarious Results
Grande took on Kimmel’s “Wing It & Sing It” music challenge and came through the other side without a hitch. The former “The Voice” coach agreed to sing a completely unknown song that focused on her petite stature.
“Your test tonight, if you choose to accept it, is to sing a song you’ve never seen the lyrics or heard any of the music before,” the host told her. “It’s time to wing it and sing it!”
Grande sang through a series of cue cards showing the lyrics and, as Kimmel removed them one by one, the words got more absurd.
The singer, accompanied by a talented pianist, managed to find a melody along the way as she worked through her giggles — and even added some signature riffs.
The song kicked off with: “I am a strong, successful woman who always stands up tall, even though I am in fact so very, very small.”
The lyrics reflected things that are small, with words including: “I’m a human baby carrot. I’m a lady Pikachu. I am little. I am tiny. I am the perfect bite-sized snack. 10 of me stacked up only equals one of Shaq.”
At one point, Grande sang that she’s so tiny, she fits in a hamster wheel and uses a sock for a bed. Other lyrics included, “And yes my name is Grande. It’s ironic that I’m small. People ask me, ‘Where is your mom?’ when walking through the mall.”
Ariana Grande Called the Experience ‘Absolutely Insane’
Though Grande pushed through like a boss, she admitted in her interview with Kimmel, “That was terrifying.” The singer added, “It was so much fun and absolutely insane. That was hilarious.”
During the interview, Grande also shared what it was like to hear about her Oscar nomination for her performance as Glinda in “Wicked.”
“When they announced mine, I was a mess,” she said. “I almost collapsed.”
Grande received a flurry of calls and texts after it was announced — from her friends, family, team, therapist, and even her gynecologist. “It was lovely,” she said of her doctor’s call. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s been a while. We good?’”
