    As a result, My Everything is a less cohesive project than Yours Truly, although its best moments eclipse the highs of Grande's 2013 debut.

    Yours Truly kept you singing until the moon shined and My Everything will make you want to dance until the sun comes up.

    Turns out, so-called mini-Mariah can hold her own in 2014; and while the best songs here may not be timeless, they certainly feel right for right now.

    What leaves an impression is Grande herself, deeply cheerful yet with guns blazing, an innocent newcomer no more.

    Despite its shortcomings, My Everything succeeds in its primary objective. This is a pop record, clear and simple.

    It's a confident, intelligent, brazen pop statement, mixing bubblegum diva vocals with EDM break beats.

    Perhaps Grande doesn't embody the songs the way an old-fashioned diva would, but she functions as a likeable pop ringleader, stepping aside when the track calls for it and then unleashing a full-throated wail when it's her time to shine.

    For her second album, My Everything, Grande has picked a set of songs so lyrically bland, sonically inoffensive, and artistically empty that they produce a zero-impact experience--musical vanilla fro-yo poured directly into your ears. It's by no means painful; there are even moments of fun.

    The metallic fingerprint of Auto-Tune is all over My Everything, even the vocal trills that start off the album.

Ariana's debut is so much better than this. "My Everything" is so appealing to the media to be successful. Ariana didn't care what is the quality of the R&B music and she just sang **** and **** with so many featuring.

    It's like Lily Allen said... Peoples are so desperate to be on the Top and are forcing the fans to be together even if all don't like ones of others.    … Full Review »

My everything sounds like generic pop music that you hear on on the radio on a daily basis. I was expecting great things from this album, as Ariana is a very talented artist but I was highly mistaken. I also noticed that Ariana has not written any of the songs on the album excluding the into, this is not a bad thing but it just proves that she just wanted to go down the the radio friendly music route instead writing genuine beautiful music.… Full Review »
