Fans of The Voice didn't quite know what to expect when it was announced that Ariana Grande was taking a seat in the judge's chair. Some fans were thrilled at the opportunity to get their regular dose of Ari, while others just weren't sure she had enough spunk to engage the crowd.
The verdict is in - Ariana Grande has taken The Voice by storm, and has proven that she has enough star power to not only succeed on the show but to dominate the set with her presence. Blake Shelton has even indicated that he feels threatened by her presence, and he should. Ariana Grande has such a massive fan following that it seems she can take over his role, AND that of Gwen Stefani.
Proving that she's a real force to be reckoned with, the 28-year-old singer is showing everyone what it's all about and is single-handedly creating a whirlwind of energy and power that The Voice has never seen before.
Ariana Grande Takes Over
Taking Gwen Stefani's seat on the judge's panel is no easy task. Stefani was a fan favorite, and she consistently stunned fans with her powerful voice and her impeccable fashion sense. Her decades-long career in the music industry was highly pursued by contestants that wanted to tap into her talents to better their own skills. The Voice also gave her a platform to gush love for her now-husband, Blake Shelton.
These seemed like huge shoes to fill, and the most unsuspecting person has stormed right in to set her own tone.
She may be small, but she's very mighty. Ariana Grande has made her presence known, and her massive fan following is putting her powerful status on blast.
Not only is she taking over Gwen Stefani's seat, she's also pushing Stefani's husband out of his. Blake Shelton has indicated that he's completely intimidated by Grande's unbelievably powerful presence, and states that it has made him acutely aware of his own 'lack of celebrity' status.
A 'Grande' Powerhouse
Ariana Grande has millions of die-hard, loyal fans and they're backing her time on The Voice to the absolute fullest.
Her star power is making it impossible for contestants to ignore the fact that if they joined her team, they, too, would receive the immense support of those who so vigilantly support Grande's success.
Ariana Grande's presence on the show casts a huge shadow on fellow judges Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton, and with Blake being the oldest of them all, he's really feeling the pinch of her presence.
Millions of fans are throwing their support behind Ari, leading the contestants to yearn for an opportunity to be backed by this ultra-powerful judge.
Time will tell who will win this competition, but all eyes are locked in on Ariana Grande as being the judge that yields the most power and presents the biggest opportunities for the contestants of the show.
