From The voice taping:

-Christina: Aw, I love this song, it's a Mariah Carey song, isn't it?

-Contestant: No, it's The way by Ariana Grande.

-Christina: oh,I dont know that song

I didn't see any lies. Let's not pretend that song doesn't try its damnest to sound like a Mariah track. From the piano-based R&B instrumental down to the vocal ticks reminiscent of Mariah (whistle register vocals towards the end included), I don't blame Xtina for thinking that.

but tru

It's Xtina. You know that was intentional

That gif in the OP though.

The real shade is Ariana actually charting higher than Legend X.

Um Christina has 5 #1 singles and 2 #1 albums. FAIL!

This was posted like 2 days ago, get it together gurl!

It's not shade. It's great

I was talking nowadays in 2013 which is a FACT. Why did I get reported lol.

Whatever but I don't think it was really shade.

Aguilera's first ever single went #1 in over ten countries and top 5 in more than twenty countries. It was one of the five most successful singles the year it was released, not to mention it was followed by two more #1 and the other one went #3. Oh, and it helped her album sold over 9 million copies in the US and around 5 more in the rest of the world and big etcetera. All that versus what? a #9 in the BB Hot 100?

I guess the real shade here is coming from you showing your own ignorance.

Clock ha ignorant ***!

You tried & failed. There's no comparison between a new teenager singer and an artist who had a huge career with five #1 singles and two #1 albums and many many awards. Don't embarrass yourself again.

Draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

The Lotus' attacking poor Rolland.

The song does sound like a Mariah song, it even has the rent-a-rapper. I sense no shade.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional.

More like Mariah shade.
