The video is uneventful but it does its job I guess. I wish her next album will be build upon the sound of this song mixed with the uber-fab Break Free.

This is definitely my favorite by her now. I feel like this is a moment real of maturity for her, and the video adds to that (as "awkward sexy" as she is).

I want to like this, and in theory I should really like it, but something just does not connect with me.
I hope Be Your Baby or Hands On Me gets released at some point.

Love this, probably my favorite single from her ever so far, she's 3/3 for me with the singles from this project. It has a very smooth vibe. Her vocal styling is probably more similar than ever to Mariah's here, but it's very well done this time around.
I really like the video too, aside from her makeup. They've gone so far to try to doll her up that her face just looks very strange and cartoonish.

Agree! Except that it's 4/4 for me. I also like Bang^2, and her performance last night at the CMAs re confirmed she's also a great singer live who can be quite comfortable singing with a bunch of country folks :)

It was the most uncomfortable/awkward performance of the night hands down.

Jason Aldean begs to differ for worst performance, but I thought it was nice, obviously out of place, but it's not as bad as some people suggest. Meghan and Miranda made a much better pairing though...

Ariana, it just seemed like they showed her on stage why she did her vocal runs with Little Big Town doing backup.

I know "Bang Bang" was a collaboration but wasn't it supposed to be more of a Jessie J song? It seems like Ariana completely took it over.

Jessie and Ariana (and sometimes Nicki) have performed this song numerous times, but Ariana has had the opportunity to perform them on bigger platforms because she's a bigger name, so it seems fit that she seems to be on the frontline in terms of promoting this song, Jessie is performing this mainly at smaller places.

Right. I think she could totally get a top 5 hit out of this with the right promo.

Lyrics are tacky, but Grande absolutely kills the vocals here. And she actually enunciates the words.
The Weeknd sings the hell out of his part as well, but his voice seems a bit too lilted, thin and feminine for this type of song. Shouldn't the guy on this song have like a super masculine, Barry White type voice?
Love this overall though - we need more of these kinds of duets on pop radio.
Correct, but the CMAs were not going to invite Nicki Minaj, and I can't envision Nicki Minaj saying yes to the CMAs. Bad for both brands.
And I think the comment was probably more about Jessie J anyway. It's not like Nicki is going to sing that high note in the bridge...

Ariana, it just seemed like they showed her on stage why she did her vocal runs with Little Big Town doing backup. Yeah, she was definitely out-of-place on the CMAs, but I thought what she did was very good taken out of that context. I wonder if it would've been less odd if she had sung "Love Me Harder" with them instead.
