Ariana Grande Performs Two Hit Songs

The 20-year-old singer started off her performance with a sweet rendition of “The Way” on May 1. Her vocals were as strong as ever and she proved the high notes were no problem for her. Midway through her performance, she then segued into her new single, “Problem,” and it got super sexy from there.

With new dance moves and a sexier outfit, the singer showed off a new and improved version of her Disney star self. Even with the added pressure of performing two songs, the young songstress gave two fantastic and unique performances.

Shakira Rocks Out To ‘Empire’

Later in the show, Shakira graced the stage to belt out her latest hit, “Empire.” The Voice judge gave a killer performance of her new single, and the catchy tune had the crowd going wild. Meanwhile, Shakira’s beauty and power looked effortless. She made the stage her empire with her wild and pitch perfect rendition. We already knew Shakira has an amazing voice, but hearing it live wows us every time!

Alright, now it’s time to get down to business. Ariana and Shakira were both great, but it’s time we picked a winner.
