Man will I be laughing my arse off in 2036 (if I'm still alive) if she gets in on the first ballot. I honestly don't see much potential in her, just a teen fave IMHO.

I hate to think this way, but for all her talent, I wonder if her career will be best known for what happened in Manchester in 2017. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

@ Joe

When it comes to pop acts who started off as Disney/Nickelodeon stars, most of them won't get inducted into the Hall once they become eligible at some with a very few exceptions decades from now due to their lack of power staying. While I don't find Ariana's music to be good, but it's kinda too soon to tell how Hall material she could be imo.

I think she should be she's a household name and one of the most influential people currently. She has broke so many records and is the best vocalist of this generation.

personally, i think she'll be up there when she's eligible. currently, she's the leading female personality on all media, theres a lot of potential until when she is able.

Ariana Grande is a legacy artist. She holds the record for the most songs to debut at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (5), she is the first female artist with two albums producing multiple No. 1 debuts, and she has multiple songs with more than 1 billion streams. She is constantly reinventing herself as a vocalist, performer, actress, producer, and director.

Certainly not. Of course, she is a great vocalist, popular on streaming, and a good actress. But this is the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. She has not won any major Grammy Awards, nor is she known for her Rock'n'Roll-related performances or tours (or for any memorable world tour, for that matter). She doesn't even play an instrument on stage (I am not referring to her voice as her major instrument). And at least for now, she hasn't made any major impact on the music scene.
