Father and Daughter Dance to Ariana Grande's 'Problem' and It's Perfection


Father of the Year candidate right here. While we can't help but dance to Ariana Grande's "Problem," most parents probably aren't shaking it to the catchy summer hit. This guy though, not only dances to the hit tune, featuring Iggy Azalea, he full-on commits to his daughter's dance routine.

Looking good, dad! You can tell he's totally up for the challenge and she's a good little choreographer, putting dear old pop through his paces. He definitely is keeping up, but by the end, it was maybe a little too taxing. She's got youth on her side, after all.

We're hoping Ariana lays eyes on this because we know she'd just love it (and maybe she and her dancers can pick up a few new moves, who knows?). We'd love to see this father/daughter team come up with a new dance routine soon – it looks like they're having a blast.

Is "Problem" one of your summer jams?

These Covers Of Ariana Grande’s ‘Problem’ And Fifth Harmony’s ‘Better Together’ Will Blow You Away


YouTube stars Mahogany “Lox” Gordy and Brandon Skeie have joined forces, and judging from their brand-new covers of Ariana Grande’s “Problem” and Fifth Harmony’s “Better Together,” they’re killing the game.

For “Problem,” the two tag-team the lyrics, trading off lines in beautiful harmony — all in the company of an oversized teddy bear. The simple video keeps all the focus on Skeie’s impressive vocal range and Lox’s total ownership over Iggy Azalea’s rap solo.



Meanwhile, “Better Together” — which they released on Monday (June 23) — takes on more of a story approach, beginning with Skeie pouring his heart out to an impassive Lox. Halfway through, the pair certainly sell the case that they are better together.



So what brought these two together? Skeie, a 21 year-old independent singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, tells MTV the he met Lox — the granddaughter of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and sister to LMFAO bandmember Sky Blu — at a Janoskians party last year.

“I saw her big, curly red hair and invited her to my birthday party, and we started hanging out avidly after that,” he said.

He recently released his debut EP 3Words, and promises fans they can look forward to even more Lox collaborations coming soon.

TOP PICK: Ariana Grande Teases 60’s Inspired ‘Problem’ Video Featuring Iggy Azalea & Big Sean


Ariana Grande is up in the clouds right now with her new single "Problem" topping the chart, the upcoming release of 60's inspired video and the budding romance with Jai Brooks. The songstress recently revealed a teaser for her highly anticipated "Problem" video featuring Australian rapper Iggy Azalea and Big Sean.

Scooter Brain posted the teaser on his Instagram account, and wrote, "#problemvideo with @arianagrande coming next week!"

After her first failed attempt music video, "Put Your Hearts Up" video, Grande is making sure that her second video is nothing but spectacular. And judging from the sneak peak from her latest video, the singer is not letting go of her knee-high white boots fashion, the same outfit that she wore at both the Billboard Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

"Dreary bored airport selfie.... off to florida to see my loved ones & finish the album... will be my first time recording in my hooommmetown boca. excited to bring my grandparents to the studio to see what I do and have some downtime with my friends from home. long ass caption," she wrote a few days before posting the video on her Instagram account.

Now that "Problem" is an international hit, the 20-year-old is gearing to debut her music video and her second album which until now is untitled. The sax-driven song managed to sell 438,000 copies in its first week, and it was the fourth-largest debut week for woman. Earning a new milestone on her career, "Problem" is the biggest-ever debut for someone under 21.

On her recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 20-year-old singer revealed that she still have nightmares on her first video and even made them hide it on her Vevo page. "I hate acting," she shared during the interview. "It's fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me."

She also revealed during the interview that she pushed for Azalea's inclusion on "Problem" after the Ying Yang twins deal fell through. Since the two rappers can't get together, Azalea was the second option and she killed the rap portion of the song during her audition,

Watch out for "Problem's" music video coming out soon.

Ariana Grande Explains the Making of Her Hit ‘Problem’


Ariana Grande is smashing records with her latest single, ‘Problem,’ a hit that was a long time in the making for the actress-turned-singer.

The 20-year-old began her career on Nickelodeon’s 2010 comedy hit ‘Victorious,’ where she played the red-haired Cat Valentine. Her reputation exploded among Nick teens, but despite her major television success, the star wasn’t happy.

“I hate acting,” Ariana admitted to Rolling Stone with a laugh. “It’s fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me.”

Yet applying her massive TV fame to music proved to be difficult. Her 2011 debut single, ‘Put Your Hearts Up,’ was “so inauthentic and fake.”

The pop star said, “That was the worst moment of my life. For the video, they gave me a bad spray tan and put me in a princess dress and had me frolic around the street. The whole thing was straight out of hell. I still have nightmares about it…”

Yikes! Luckily, her next big break, her 2013 album ‘Yours Truly,’ was more geared towards Ariana’s own tastes and brought her a hit she could be proud of with the track ‘The Way.’ The success of that album captured the attention of producer-songwriter Max Martin, who has worked with huge names like Britney Spears, Taylor Swift and Maroon 5.

Martin and his team of writers began working on half a dozen songs for the budding singer. One of the crew members, Savan Kotecha, responsible for several of One Direction’s hits (including ‘What Makes You Beautiful’), says the idea for ‘Problem’ began on his phone.

“I don’t remember where I came up with it,” he said. “Maybe in an airplane bathroom. On my phone I have an audio note where I whisper, ‘One less problem.’”

‘Problem’ was nicknamed ‘The Whisper Song’ because it was meant to have a structure not normally used for pop songs.

“Their objective was to do the opposite of a traditional song structure,” Ariana shared. “The idea was to have a really belt-y verse and then a completely minimalistic, whispering, basic chorus. At first, I just didn’t like being all belt-y right away.”

Once Iggy Azalea was added to the track, the hit song started to come together. Martin added his touch of genius — the song’s starting horns — and a chart-topper was born.

‘Problem’ topped the iTunes chart within 37 minutes of its release, and earned the titles of fourth-largest debut week for a woman and the biggest-ever debut for a singer under 21. It took her a little while, but Ariana Grande has officially hit the big leagues.

Ariana Grande On Her Debut Video: ‘Worst Moment Of My Life’


In a brand-new feature on Ariana Grande, fans get to see how your “Problem” sausage got made. Wait, that didn’t come out right. Whatever, let’s move on.

Rolling Stone published an interview packed with interesting tidbits and revealing details. Here are my four key findings from the article, which touch on everything from a failed collaboration to Ariana’s oft-forgotten 2011 debut single. Enjoy! Mmmmm, problem sausage …

1.) The Debut From Hell
Hey, those are Ariana’s words, not mine. “That was the worst moment of my life,” the 20-year-old singer said of 2011′s “Put Your Hearts Up.” “For the video, they gave me a bad spray tan and put me in a princess dress and had me frolic around the street. The whole thing was straight out of hell.

“I still have nightmares about it, and I made them hide it on my Vevo page.” BRB, adding this to my list of things to NEVER watch in Ariana Grande’s presence.

2.) But What I Really Wanna Do Is direct Sing.
“I hate acting,” Ariana shared with the mag. “It’s fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me.” I hate acting, too. Where’s my television show? OK, so that’s not exactly a new revelation if you’ve been following the Florida native’s interviews in the last couple years, but I still think it’s interesting to note.

3.) Wait’ll You See My Featured Artist.
Do you remember how when “Problem” first dropped, we were all feeling a very strong Ying Yang Twins vibe off of it? Well, that reference was totally intentional, says Ariana’s A&R rep at Republic, Wendy Goldstein.

“Scooter [Braun, Ariana's manager] was obsessed with bringing in the Ying Yang Twins. … We had them try, but they just flopped it. They couldn’t get it together.” OK, so they couldn’t coordinate dates. Big deal! Just wait’ll you see their … incredibly packed schedules. They probably couldn’t squeeze it in! The recording session. Bye.

4.) Two ‘Fancy’ Ladies
Last but not least, Rolling Stone reported that it was Ariana herself who pushed for Iggy Azalea’s inclusion on “Problem” once the Ying Yang Twins fell through.

A smart move bringing on the “Fancy” rapper (I mean, have you seen how well “Problem” is doing on the charts?), but am I the only one who now wishes she’d had the Atlanta duo on the track, too? C’mon!

How Ariana Grande and Max Martin Made 'Problem' the Song of the Summer


There’s still another month of spring left, but it seems as though we’ve already heard the song of the summer: 20-year-old Nickelodeon vet Ariana Grande’s "Problem" – a sax-driven, 1990s-throwback-R&B jam featuring a guest rap by Iggy Azalea – has exploded online and on radio, selling 438,000 copies in its first week. It was the fourth-largest debut week for a woman, and the biggest-ever debut for someone under 21; the song has topped the iTunes chart in more than 50 countries. "What it’s done so far is just incredible in this day and age," says Tom Poleman, the president of National Programming Platforms for Clear Channel. “She could become one of pop music’s core artists.”

Grande was already a superstar before "Problem" – but mostly among junior-high students. The Florida native spent the past five years in the Nickelodeon trenches, putting in grueling days in her role as the dimwitted Cat Valentine on the megahit kiddie comedy Victorious, and then its new spin-off, Sam & Cat. The role transformed Grande into a tween idol, with 15 million Twitter followers, but she was much more interested in a music career. "I hate acting,” says Grande with a laugh – she grew up worshipping Whitney Houston and Destiny's Child, and has serious vocal range and power of her own. "It’s fun, but music has always been first and foremost with me."

Grande was raised in Boca Raton by her graphic designer father and CEO mother, who runs a company that provides communication equipment for the armed forces, and has been singing and acting since she was six. She was signed by Justin Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, in 2013, but her professional music career got off to a rocky start with 2011’s "Put Your Hearts Up," a bubblegum-pop song she can barely bring herself to talk about. "It was geared toward kids and felt so inauthentic and fake," she says. "That was the worst moment of my life. For the video, they gave me a bad spray tan and put me in a princess dress and had me frolic around the street. The whole thing was straight out of hell. I still have nightmares about it, and I made them hide it on my Vevo page."

Republic, Grande’s record label, gave her more freedom on her 2013 album, Yours Truly, an adult R&B collection that featured guest rhymes by Mac Miller and Big Sean. It produced a Top 10 hit ("The Way") and debuted at Number One. But the intense shooting schedule of Sam & Cat, which produced 40 episodes for its first season, made promoting the record extremely difficult, and the album didn’t stay on the charts for long.

It did, however, make a big enough splash to grab the attention of Max Martin. The 43-year-old Swede is the most successful producer-songwriter of the past 20 years, having sold an astonishing 135 million singles. Thirty-eight of his songs have moved more than a million units, and he’s worked with everyone from Britney Spears and Bon Jovi to Taylor Swift and Maroon 5.

Wendy Goldstein, Grande’s A&R rep at Republic, spent two years trying to get Martin involved; finally, when work was about to begin on Grande’s album, he said he was in. "He has a young daughter that’s a huge Ariana fan," says Goldstein. "He said, ‘I’ve never seen my daughter excited about someone that I’ve worked with, and that’s really saying something.’"

Martin, who quietly moved to Los Angeles from Stockholm a few years ago, has cultivated an A-team of mostly Swedish writers and producers. "He’s the master of his craft because he knows how to teach it,” says protégé Savan Kotecha, who has worked closely with Martin for the past seven years. For about three weeks earlier this year, Martin and Kotecha holed up in a Los Angeles studio cooking up a half-dozen songs, with Grande popping in to help write lyrics; Martin’s main deputy, Shellback, and Ilya Salmanzadeh, a 27-year-old songwriter who’s one of the newest members of the crew, came in to help on "Problem."

"Problem" began as an untitled track by Kotecha that he nicknamed "The Whisper Song," after a 2005 Ying Yang Twins hit. "I don’t remember where I came up with it," says Kotecha, who has written most of One Direction’s biggest hits. "Maybe in an airplane bathroom. On my phone I have an audio note where I whisper, ‘One less problem.’"

Grande, who leans toward high-octane belting, was confused at first by the muted chorus. "I was scared to approach it, because of the whispers," she says. "Their objective was to do the opposite of a traditional song structure. The idea was to have a really belt-y verse and then a completely minimalistic, whispering, basic chorus. At first, I just didn’t like being all belt-y right away."

The next step was injecting some hip-hop into the song. "Scooter was obsessed with bringing in the Ying Yang Twins," says Goldstein. "We had them try, but they just flopped it. They couldn’t get it together." Grande pushed to get Iggy Azalea on the track. "We figured it had to be a girl," says Kotecha. "And there’s so few big-name -female rappers in hip-hop. She came in without any drama, got behind the mic and just killed it."

Martin put the song over the top: "He came up with the horns and all those -melodic things in the pre-chorus," says Kotecha. "Part of his genius is knowing that little thing that takes a song from 80 percent to 100 percent."

"Problem" became the first single from Grande’s still-untitled second album, due later this year. After days of teasing the track on her Twitter and Instagram pages, it was released on iTunes at midnight on April 28th. It shot to Number One on the iTunes chart in 37 minutes, before it had a single spin on the radio.

Charlie Walk, the Executive Vice President of Republic Records, says he suspected the song would be a hit the first time he heard it. "It's the 30-second rule," he says ."You know the difference between good and great in 30 seconds. . . And in pop music now, there's a desperate need for proper vocalists that can sing a song the same way live it sounds on record. Kids can smell bullshit."

Grande has several other Max Martin songs slated for the new album, which the label hopes will solidify her as 2014’s breakout pop star. "I hear a half-dozen songs that are going to resonate in the marketplace," says Monte Lipman, CEO and founder of Republic Records. "We have a lot of wood to chop."

For Grande, the song was a life-changing moment; for Martin and his song factory, it’s just another in a long series of pop smashes. "He has this Swedish-ness in the back of his mind," says Kotecha. "He never got caught up in his own hype or being a hotshot producer. He just keeps doing the work."

Ariana Grande Confirmed 'Problem' About Jai Brooks? Jariana Dating Again?


We're totally in love with Ariana Grande's new single, "Problem," and definitely had gotten an early vibe that the lyrics are about her ex-boyfriend Jai Brooks--but did she just confirm that's who the song is about?

Ariana spoke with Billboard about "Problem" and what it's about--and (maybe we're reading into this) it sounds an awful lot like her relationship with Jai.

Ariana explained the song "represents the feeling of being absolutely terrified to re-approach a relationship that's gone sour--but you want to more than anything."

She added, "In the song, it ends on a sappy, negative note, but in [real] life, we're hoping it's going to end on a positive one. I feel like it's all very honest and human."

You can check out some of the evidence that suggests Ariana and Jai got back together here, but check out this recent video Ariana posted to Instagram--is that Jai's voice we hear?
