7 Rings - Lizzo

April 11, 2019 12:55 PM

Lizzo performs an acoustic cover of Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" on Elvis Duran's show.

Bonus: Lizzo also performs an acoustic version of "Juice".

And here's the 20-minute interview segment.

Her interviews are always entertaining.

That criticism of Ariana over her Japanese 7 Rings tattoo turned out to be bogus. I asked a friend in Japan to check it and it didn't say "small charcoal grill" or "Japanese barbecue" or anything, it was just that "7 Rings" (in Japanese "七輪") is coincidentally a brand of hibachi grill. It was her subsequent attempts to fix the already correct tattoo that turned it into gibberish.

GODDAMN. HER EYE MAKEUP IS GREAT.

I really enjoyed this version of the song, too.

Torn between my wish for Lizzo to blow up properly and my appreciation that she's still low-key famous enough to show up on podcasts -- including her own!

Oh man, she did a beautiful cover (Twitter link) of “Shallow” on Sirius a couple of days ago, and some dude made the mistake of tweeting “Why are the media platforms praising this? It sounds horrid.” Her reply was immaculate: “I LEARNED THIS IN 2HRS WOKE UP AT 5AM WORKED ALL MORNING AND SANG BEAUTIFULLY BITCH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR THE GOOD OF THE PLANET SIR? GO RECYCLE THAT ROTTEN ATTITUDE AND DRINK YA JUICE”

I want her to blow the fuck up because she's a force of good. More of this at the table, please.
