She also comments on fan-made clip compilations that her viewers send to her, which often pit two artists against each other, sometimes without any discernible rhyme or reason. Still, these comparisons can be extremely instructive, like this video that plays vintage clips of Mariah Carey singing at age 25 against more recent ones of Ariana Grande, also singing at age 25:
