Jimmy Fallon challenges Ariana Grande to a duel of musical impersonations, arguably wins

Ariana Grande sings Christina Aguilera

The Tonight Show game "Wheel of Musical Impressions" is supposed to show off a guest's impersonation talents, but the purportedly random artist generator on Tuesday's show gave Ariana Grande only diva-ish pop sopranos with a penchant for hitting flowery high notes. Her Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera both sound a bit like her Celine Dion, but she performed them all with aplomb. Jimmy Fallon got an easy pick, Aaron Neville, then did an admirable Sting impersonation. You can watch and judge the winner for yourself below. Peter Weber
