“Saturday Night Live” fans declare Ariana Grande the winner of the Jennifer Coolidge Impression Battle

Ariana Grande was the living embodiment of Kristin Wiig’s “Don’t Make Me Sing” sketch in her final performance Saturday Night Live Hosted our performance – and we couldn’t be more grateful.

“Before I begin, I just want to make one thing clear tonight. I’m just hosting,” Grande says during her opening monologue. “No, I won’t make this about myself. I’m just going to have fun, take it easy and yeah, it’s going to stay quiet.” Then of course the singing begins. “Tonight I’m going to take it easy,” she sings. “I promise, I won’t sing, I won’t sing my favorite notes. Not C, D, B, A or G.”

She continues: “I will not give my impressions. No Britney Spears today.” Yes, right. From there, not only does she break out a bit of “Baby One More Time,” but in the next few breaths she also offers up her impressions of Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani. “I can’t sing because it hurts!”

You can watch the full monologue here.

And the impressions didn’t end there. On the one hand, Saturday Night Live dedicated an entire sketch to Grande’s famous Céline Dion impression, using the Evil Star parodies the Canadian icon’s recent NFL commercial with a UFC commercial. “When I hit you like that/And when you choke me like that/When you elbow me in the chest/It all comes back to me,” she sings, then adds, “It all comes back to me.” But maybe not to them because of the concussions.”
