Ariana DeBose did that (all on her own)

[just444]

BAFTA awards producer Nick Bullen says Ariana DeBose and her team wrote the opening rap themselves, and that the backlash is "incredibly unfair." He also dished on what exactly happened with the Carey Mulligan/Kerry Condon supporting actress snafu. https://t.co/ON8iqYkv78

i don't even need to watch it because i know it was corny as hell. she's corny. her tonys opening number sounded like she had marbles in her mouth.

I just watched that, and how/why is she always out of breath? It's concerning, but even Betty Buckley who definitely sabotaged her own career, belted like a mofo in her 60's without breath control issues.

Yeah. Like his style of writing and rapping is made for stuff like this. It's very specific. *shrug*

(And I like Ariana too, but performing other people's work is her strength, not writing...)

This type of performing is not for the BAFTAs even if it was good. just not the right platform.

they think he's corny so that must mean he's untalented. it's silly. you can dislike him without debasing his work.

I'm not apologizing for accusing LMM 🤷🏾

I know an influence when I see one and Ariana most likely took on his approach and failed spectacularly.

I agree! It was definitely his weird rap-sing style. And it was BAD.

I refuse to watch this as I'm one of those people who have serious case of secondhand embarrassment, I get sick for others. I already feel bad for her without watching it.

[miwa201]

same, there's no way i'll watch this, not even clips. second hand embarrassment has prevented me of watching movies, let alone this

[ambermoons]

I saw the 20-second one posted from Twitter in a previous post, I wanted a hole to form in the ground for her to escape

[sabrina54]

Same, can't handle it either so I'm just here for the comments
