Ariana Grande‘s new single ‘Problem’ is becoming just that for her chart rivals.

After rocketing to #1 on iTunes thirty minutes after its release last week, the uptempo jam has been resting atop of the tally and establishing an ever-growing margin between itself and its nearest competition.

Hoping to extend her lead, the 20-year-old stopped by the Ellen show today to perform the song with a troop of dancers.

How did she fare? You be the judge after the jump…

Good stuff.

    Okayyyyyyyyyy Ariana that was really good. She stepped out her element and came alive on stage and it didn’t feel arkward very impressed. That song is sickening HAWT she better come through with the promo her team is not playing. I’m so here for her.

  4. Sarah May 6, 2014

  5. Rihboy May 6, 2014

    That gasp for breath before the last ” i got” !!!! Lls i hate the dance, it reminds me of that game dance central with the animated characters! But i love her and her vocal capability! Ready for another drop! Hopefully the one with chris breezy!!!

  6. RIHNAJ May 6, 2014

  8. Kisses Down Low May 6, 2014

    I still can’t @ the way Rihanna shady ass laughed at her dancing at the iheartradio awards.

    • Ariana navi May 6, 2014

      Dumb ass she was laughing because she thought it was cute. Isn’t that what everyone does stupid Kelly stan

      • Kisses Down Low May 6, 2014

        Is that what Rihanna said?

    • Mark111 May 6, 2014

      Where was Kelly that night? Don’t you dare say that she’s too big for that award show. lol

      • Kisses Down Low May 6, 2014

        YAWWWWN!

      • Mark111 May 6, 2014

        Did you just watch a Kelly NoWhereLand performance.

      • Kisses Down Low May 6, 2014

        YAWN again! You’re even stealing Lovebirds struggle lyrics.

      • Kisses Down Low May 6, 2014

        Why did you respond anyway? Mad cos of the reference your bitchy forehead fav?

  9. BEYHIVE_MINAJ May 6, 2014

    This song isn’t bad but watching her dance is painful,sorry. She looks uncomfortable and stiff.

  10. IStanForYourFav May 6, 2014

    I see she’s maturing into her own artist. It’s refreshing to see and hear her talent in such an untalented industry. Congrats Ari!!!!

  11. Buttercup May 6, 2014

    She should never be silent on stage. During that music break she should’ve connected with the audience….other than that the performance was super duper cute

  12. Honeymoon Avenue May 6, 2014

    Another fantastic performance! I think Ariana is getting better each time at dancing. I remember everyone here was complaining that she didn’t dance but now that she is everyone says stop lol. I don’t mind her standing in one spot entertaining with her voice.

  13. metzo May 6, 2014

    Her vocals are amazing. But I feel awkward just watching her dance/perform. She seems like she’s being told to do something that shes clearly not comfortable doing. It’s quite painful to watch indeed. But she can really sing, unlike [insert name].

  14. eric May 6, 2014

    I would like to hear her be more free to ad-lib and change up the vocals. And it might serve her better to walk in-between the dancers and playfully interact with them instead of dance with them.

  15. yasssssssssss B**** May 6, 2014

    great song,but ariana needs to breath properly especially on the pre chorus ,she also needs to enunciate a little bit better

  16. Rowlandstones May 6, 2014

    I like her, she only needs to learn how to communicate with audience and her performances will be flawless.

  17. Stephy: Tha Elusive Chanteuse May 6, 2014

    She sounded good. She danced very well.

  18. Jade May 6, 2014

    Maybe it’s just me, but I find it really hard to hear the words she is saying clearly. Don’t get me wrong, she can sing, but somethings a little off for me.

  19. Lovebird May 6, 2014

    She served and slayed. Death at FLOPriah flopping harder than a Kelly Rowland single from TAGG…SCREAMS!!!!!!!!!!

    DEATH at Ariana slaying STRUGGLEriah effortlessly in the choreography game…I can’t.

      I still get a good laugh at Mariah trying to dance ever since I was a lil boy.

      • Lovebird May 6, 2014

        LMAO

  20. Mark111 May 6, 2014

    She’s gonna give those Disney girls a run for their money. Gotta compare her to her age group and she’s that girl. I just hope she don’t mess up her voice, you can tell she tone down a bit. Dance was ok, I prefer dancers over standing and singing while waving your hand, unless you’re KILLING it vocally.

  21. Auntie_Jackie May 6, 2014

    She’s very focused on hitting her notes, which is why she doesn’t enunciate well. She’s a talented singer, but I think she’s pushing her voice a little too hard. She can’t pronounce the words & sing, so I can tell those notes are really stretching her to the breaking point, they aren’t effortless.

  22. nAVY nICK May 6, 2014

    ohhhh yeaaaa this girl is about to takeover-i see her gettin better & better…her & iggy are killin the game rite now-LOVIN THEM BOTH!!

  23. RoyalKev May 6, 2014

    She’s cute! The s** appeal is getting there … It’s still a few kinks to work out, but she will eventually! Once she get a handle on that, she’ll really be problem!

  24. There once was a pimp and his h**…. May 6, 2014

    Nope, she is still bad. Every performance she is in looks like she has to put a s*** ton of effort into especially when it comes to her upper belts. Her enunciation is still p*** poor. Her dancing is extremely cringe- worthy which makes me question her ballet background. Her stage presence is basic, interacting with the audience is essential. Lastly, vocal focused singers need to stop using back-up dancers as a main attraction unless they are dance focused. Ariana is clearly not adance focused so it looks out if place and awkward.

    • There once was a pimp and his h**…. May 6, 2014

      * a dance focused singer

  25. JOHNVIDAL May 6, 2014

    Yep! Making the transition to “Butterfly” era. Go girl! 🙂

  26. The Boy Toy May 6, 2014

    Lol cute! She’s still too juvenile for my taste, but cute!!

    • metzo May 6, 2014

      I love Ur Avi boo!

  27. Navy Commander May 6, 2014

    It’s good by her standards…..
