The fact that she sings a ton of musical instead of just pop is so freshening to me;)

[katelynsuniverse]

Glad she's getting the recognition she deserves

[belarivas]

She has such a simultaneous calm and effervescent presence, it’s so engaging

Ok, there's yet one more original cast of Hamilton's actor I get to adore. She's amazing!

[KyuzoCool]

I love that she randomly goes into an accent. Hightly relatable

[bexyPTX]

She's the absolute coolest and deserves the world. Her (maybe unintentional) musical impressions here are great and I think that if she really focused on it she'd be amazing at that.

[jadesmyspiritanimal]

So amazed by her just natural and seemingly effortless charm. She has one of the forceful voices I heard in a while. I'd love to see her in other movie musicals, if they ever make "Ragtime" into a movie she'd be an AWESOME Sarah. I hoped for her to be in the Wicked movie as Elphaba but Cynthia Erivo took that role instead and will be great, I'm sure.

[emmaacollinsxo]

She always stood out to me in hamilton and I’m so glad to see her in bigger roles rather than just ensemble!

[weronikasiwek]

I love her so much, she radiates so much energy, it's incredible

[heatherrenae]

She speaks and sings in like 45 different accents in the span of two minutes. I had to Google where she was born because I did not know what was happening.

[duckymomo]

She was incredible in West Side Story!

[MariSongBeat]

We have with Ariana so much in common. Abba, Whitney, Adele, Donna Summer - she's really fan of legends. I also love her is Schmigadoom. Now I wanna watch not only West Side, but also Broadway musicals with her

[lll.]

The fact she didn’t sing “Who lives who dies who tells your story” and “I just wanna dance with you” is-

[HarrisonMartin]

West Side Story was so great and Ariana nailed it. She was my favorite character

[maliser]

West Side Story was amazing, probably my favourite movie of 2021, saw it twice in theaters! Would highly recommend seeing it in theaters if you can.

[supernerd]

I love how the people with the top scores are all musical theater actors 😂😂

[stargazerlillie]

Thank you for spotlighting this delightful talent! I didn't know who she was and now I'm smitten. She has such range in taste of music and she sounds like the people who sing the song! Love this!!

[missnewvillage]

Queen Ariana! Her singing MacArthur Park gave me flashbacks to her in Summer: the Donna Summer musical. She was so phenomenal in that musical. I’m so glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves.

[jacquelinejoyce]

Ariana Debose did so well here. She and Rita Moreno are the first two women to win Oscars for playing the same role, and deservedly so!

[CassieJazz]

Such a theater kid at heart and I love it 😍
