Ariana Grande And Mariah Carey Engage In ‘Whistlemania’ On ‘Yes, And?’ Remix
Ariana Grande has made the collaboration of a lifetime, singing with Mariah Carey on a remix of her latest track, “yes, and?” Long before Grande was a famous actress and signed singer, she would upload videos to her YouTube channel doing iconic covers. Among those covers were a lot of Mariah Carey songs. She has since been compared to the “Songstress Supreme” for having a similar, powerful voice registrar.
In Friday’s (February 16) “yes, and?” remix, Carey seems to almost outshine Grande, going for a more powerful approach to her lyrics as the two harmonize. Despite her louder voice, what we love about the track from the beginning is Ari’s soft voice. Then, as Carey gets her own part, she sings, “Now I’m so done with sharing, this hypocrisy with you. Baby you have been rejected! Go back, no more pretending, bye.” We have to admit, by the end of the song, as Carey riffs off of Grande’s bridge, it adds more flair to her statements. The end of the song is just as impressive, with both singers hitting those impossibly high notes.

Ahead of the song’s release, Carey shared on X (formerly Twitter): “I am so effing excited to be joining Ari on the yes, and? remix!! This is such a magical #moment!! Say that s— with your chest!!!” On the track’s release day, the two talented singers posted a cute video lip-syncing to the intro of the remix. Ari walks towards the camera wearing a retro-style polka dot dress before motioning to pan to Mariah. With a full wind machine effect on Mariah, she places one finger on her ear as she takes the vocals up to the whistle register.
Fans are going nuts on social media of the iconic pairing. One fan wrote: “When two mothers come together to maximize their joint slay.” Another said, “Oh it’s giving mermaid’s siren song with these vocals!! You two look stunning.” A third commented, “The motherology in this video is out of this world.” One fan stated, “THE HARMONIZED WHISTLES IM THE BEGINNING??????? 9.5 MOTHERQUAKE.”
