ARIANA GRANDE

MUSIC

ARIANA GRANDE

Ariana's single, "Problem" was a big hit last summer -you probably know it even if you don't realize that you do! The  21-year-old American singer has now released her second album, My Everything, and it's a hit too. Ariana makes pop and R&B music with elements of funk, dance and hip hop. It's a winning combination... The American President Obama and his family are fans and Ariana has performed twice at the White House.

This portable console was the first to have cartridges, so it could play many games, including Mario, Pokemon and Tetris, an addictive puzzle game. Then in the 2000s, a better version of th GamesBoy was invented: the DS. It was the first portable console with dual screens.
