“My Guiltiest Pleasures…”- Ariana Grande

Whoever said a girl cannot make you fall in love with her voice alone must have been deaf, dumb, and blind! Lately, one such girl with a voice has been taking the music scene by storm. Ariana Grande is racing her way to the top! From a goofy Nickelodeon teen to a worldwide sensation–we are witnessing a new diva on the scene. As scary as that is to say, it is just as enjoyable!

Then coupled with “Break Free,” I would say you have a surefire treatment for a wounded heart. I just wonder what she sings to Big Sean when it is time for them to go to bed. Even though they are “allegedly” dating I am “officially” jealous! Honestly, I do not feel so guilty about liking Ariana Grande, but as a boy from The Fourth Ward of Downtown Atlanta it just is not hip to let anyone know  [lol]! Pretty as a picture coupled with the voice of a Siren, Ariana Grande is the latest of “My Guiltiest Pleasures…”
