    This Album Is Amazing It Truly Deserves My Rating. The Album Blends R&B And Pop In An Amazing Way. In My Opinion This Album Definitely Stands Out From Her Other 2 Albums.

    Ah, what an espectacular debut. It's a mix of pop and R&B that perfectly combines with her strong voice. The songs are also emotional and catchy, making at first an unforgettable record.

    Es tan dulce e inocente, pero a la vez tiene un estilo de chica independiente que hace estallar con cada hit. Ariana tiene una voz tan peculiar, y con este debut logra destacar entre las artistas jóvenes más prometedoras de la década.

    It's really amazing how on her first album, Ariana Grande managed to show herself as a woman with a voice and who can excel in some voices of her generation. With an incredible voice, "Yours Truly" is an ingenious and cohesive work, without many artificial effects that sometimes spoil a good work. Ariana was beginning to follow a path of talent and intelligence in her way of doing music.

    This albums is so fun and spectacular. It is very rare to find a good debut album, however Miss Grande has shown that she is much more than being an actress with red hair on a Nickelodeon TV Show.

    Ariana Grande soube entregar boa sonoridade das notas, batidas e melodias R&B que lembram super momentos desse estilo musical tão forte na indústria. Porém o álbum ainda tem algumas passagens que Ariana não soube colocar em harmonia em algumas músicas, mas o álbum é realmente incrível.

    Ariana Grande's debut album is fantastic. The album has amazing songs and she has a spectacular voice. I loved her since she starred on Victorious. One of my very favorite debut albums. I loved the songs Piano, Baby I, The Way, Tattooed Heart, Almost is Never Enough.

    Ariana Debuto con elegancia, sonidos de los 50's, algo muy delicado y llamativo, tal vez no muy comercial pero si emotivo

    This album contains such well written songs like "Tattooed Heart," "Almost Is Never Enough," and "Better Left Unsaid." With cute bops like "Honeymoon Avenue," "Baby I," and "Lovin' It" to name a few. This album is definitely her best. She definitely knew her sound back then and went for it. She knew what she was doing in this album and did not mess around.

    Ariana has a spectacular debut. His voice and his production did not make an ejoativo pop that had much throughout the year released. Very well done!

    An excellent pop debut of the last years, without a doubt Ariana Grande is one of the most relevant pop stars to date, each song is very good.

    Besutiful debut album made for nostalgia effects, showing ariana’s versatily and vocals while stickikg to a retro sound. The album also has great ballads and hits, will make you cry, fall in and out of love, and dance.

    Her debut album might be her best of work, yet. As she gave songs that gives us nostalgia. This album greatly showcases her talent in singing, and it's giving me the chills! Her powerful voice is one of the best in this generation. The mix between bubblegum pop and soulful ballad on her album is a perfect combination.

    Amazing! One of the best debuts ever! The Way (yes I did it) Ariana leads us into this masterpiece is incredible, there is a "teen" vibe within all of the songs, making the album cohesive and fun. You will not get bored while listening to Yours Truly, because each one of the tracks brings its own message. Someone is definitely going to be crowned as a member of the pop royalty, right AG?

    Yours Truly is more tempered and less likely to put you in a beaming state of catatonia.

    A relatively safe debut where much of the takeaway is the salivating at Grande’s potential.

    Yours Truly is a very safe record. Mostly written by two of R&B's most mawkish hawkers, Babyface and Harmony Samuels, it’s built on cliché and tradition, and written professionally to a fault.
