Ariana Grande Does ‘Bang Bang’ Solo, Including Nicki’s Rap [VIDEO]

"Bang Bang" is one of my favorite songs that came out this summer, but the minute I heard it I thought, what are these girls gonna do in concert when their fellow singers aren't there?

Well, we found out when Ariana Grande performed at the BBC Teen Awards, sans Jessie J and Nicki Minaj.

Jessie J and Ariana can sing both of their parts pretty easily, but rapping and singing are not the same.

I've heard this song without the rap at all, and I think Ariana may have fared better if she opted that version. She decided to rap the Nicki verse, while playing the track of Nicki doing it too.

Now, Miss Grande has pipes. She can pretty much sing any note, and she can definitely sing words that don't make sense, but she can't rap.

Take a listen at the 1:19 mark in this video. What do you think?
