I have really grown to like this song a lot! I was turned on to this artist and this song by a bunch of my twitter followers! Boy do they have a good taste in music... Ariana Grande started off as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon show Victorious, and now stars in Sam & Cat, a spinoff of iCarly and Victorious. Its clear from this frist single that Ariana has a a great set a pipes! Do you here the Mariah in this song?!?!?!

Check out my pick Ariana Grande ft. Mac Miller -- The Way!

CONGRATS! You survived St. Patrick’s Day! Its song of the week time! I LOVE THIS SONG!
