Austin Butler did not always sound like Elvis.We know this as a fact.
Nor does it make it any less funny that hes seeminglystill stuck in Elvis mode.
All of this raises two pertinent questions: Has Ariana GrandebecomeGlinda the Good Witch?
And does Ariana Grande think Glinda is real?
For two years, weve watched Grande transform into Glinda.
Yes,shes blonde,but the embodiment transcends that.
As GrandetoldTeen Vogue, I needed to disappear into this role.
While her voice and intonation arent markedly different, shesdefinitely pitched herself upin her regular speaking voice.
Is she going to be doing this for the next calendar year?
Is she, like Austin Butler before her, stuck like this forever?
For what its worth, Grandehas a solid chance of nabbing an Oscar nominationfor her scene-stealing performance.
Could she actually win?
If they gave out Oscars for press tours, very possibly.
Does anyone even remember that Taylor Swift popped up ina David O. Russell movie?
But weve never seen a pop star embrace a part more wholeheartedly than Grande has.
Maybe this is the exact alchemy needed for her to walk away with Best Supporting Actress early next year.

Oh myGod,annoying!
