I never suggested otherwise.
Also you are oddly defensive of these two

I don't feel that I've said anything over the top. He makes me laugh and I like her voice. I think they're both talented, that's all

I don't know anything about Pete Davidson, I just think "flash in the pan" doesn't fit Ariana Grande's career. Maybe if she had a couple of hits and then flopped, but she's had a pretty impressive run. Yeah pop music is a young person's game and her current level of ubiquity is unsustainable; it will probably naturally fade out within the next half decade. That's just the arc of a pop star's career, with few exceptions. It's more or less what's happened to Katy Perry, and I would also not call her a "flash in the pan". As a sidenote, it doesn't matter to me that she doesn't write her own tracks; I think Dangerous Woman is full of bangers, and I like "No Tears Left to Cry" and "Get Well Soon" from the new one.

All of his comedy isn't even about himself, and personal comedy is some of the best, most worthwhile stuff anyway, so I disagree with you there. Louis didn't become successful until he started telling personal stories. It almost sounds like your main problem with him is that he is young. It is OK to just think the guy is unfunny, you don't need to make up new rules of what makes a successful comedy career.
