Ariana Grande - Side To Side (Live from the 2016 MTV VMAs) ft. Nicki Minaj 

For everyone saying she can't sing....do you wanna try singing on an exercise bike???

When you don't have time to workout so you do it on the VMA's

Props to Ari. I can’t even breathe when I’m on a bicycle. But she can sing, perform and workout all at the same time.

Nicki saying "its okay boo" at 3:25 is beyond iconic. Im feeling comfortable now.

it shows how determined she is. Admit it, its hard to sing while working out. but she still sang, she didn't lip sync.

2:19 on nicki’s part Ariana was like ‘oh finally I can breath’😂

3:25 Nicki knowing Ari’s outta breath & telling her “ you got this boo “ while she’s singing is EVERYTHING 🥺

She did this live. Didn't lip sync. On treadmills. Y'all realize that's impressive, right? Mad respect. She could have lip synced and had a perfect performance. Instead she actually sang and dealt with it.

The friendship between Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj is like a strong bond of sisters! Love both of you two!!

2:17 Ariana probably thought "thank god, now I can catch a breath"

You can tell her voice 100% improved after Nicki's rap 😭 she really needed some air

the fact that she was struggling the whole time, riding bicycle and holding heavyweights but she was still serving us with extra high notes I love her so much

I know she's a grown 23 year old woman but she's just so cute and tiny!

How the fuck is she singing and on an excersise bike ? I know she sounds puffed but man that shit takes mad skill

3:25 “ its okay boo , its okay “ 🥺 nicki is so sweet

She honestly slayed this performance. I can only imagine being this much talented and passionate like singing while cycling and still sounding perfect! Ahh Ari, I love you so much!❤️❤️

The fact that she's out of breath and is not heard in some parts just shows that she doesn't use autotune and actually sings unlike many of the other artists during live performances..

Poor girl she was out of breath from riding that dang bike! But she still sounded great!

The fact that nicki minaj said "do ya thang boo, do ya thang." While ariana grande was nervous shows just how much she cares for her ❤️

This is why we love Ariana.❤️

Ariana doesn’t need autotune but she definitely needs air!😂

Ariana doesn't need autotune. Autotune needs Ariana.

What I love about her is that by far is that she actually seems to like really enjoy singing like it’s fun to her you can tell just effortlessly

She’s cycling while on heels… and while singing… she’s a legend 😭 🤩

omds she was out of breath and still sounded like a goddess

You know it's a old video when u see fifth harmony still together

To all the people who are still listening to this, you all are the real fans.

2:59 i love this part so much, i keep playing it on repeat

Ok so she rides a bicycle and sings. Holds heavy weights with heels on and still doesn’t win no Grammy award excuse me? I’m like rlly offended

Who thinks she still slayed it eventhough she was out of breath ?

Ari doesn't need auto-tune,Auto-tune needs her! 🤧💖and Nicki's voice is sooo clear slayy!

Who's listening today??💕💜🎶

*Just keep breathin and breathin.... 😂❤️*

gosh ariana is so strong even though she is tired, she oush through and hit those high note

I like how her voice’s louder than the background sound and stuff unlike most artists’ live performances

ISSO SIM ERA VMA DE VERDADE ❤️ hj em dia não dão prêmios pelo desempenho e talento, mas sim pela quantidade de fãs

well i guess we know where “breathin” was inspired from 😂 jk

3:24 Nicki: "You got it boo!" You can slightly hear it!! So sweet

You can tell she was getting tired and she still nailed it. To be able to sing, cycle, keep up with choreography, and not pass out and nail all the parts perfectly is why I enjoy Ariana. Lol.

can we just talk about how she sang on a bike WITH 4 inch HIGH HEELS like bruh i cant even walk and she can BIKE?!?! SHE EVEN HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES EVEN WITH BARELY ANY AIR!!!! SHE DOESNT NEED AUTOTUNE HATERS, SHE NEEDS AIR!!!!!!

Nicki Minaj's hips is bigger than my motivation to live

2016: Performing while cycling 2020: performing wearing mask Ari doesn't need oxygen to live 😭🥺

The tone of your voice is pure and innocent, like a feeling that descends from my lips to my heart. Ariana Grande 😍😘💐

2:59 and 3:25 i love this parts so much, i keep playing it on repeat

She was riding an exercise bike while singing. Her peers would just lipsync. She is an amazing vocalist anyway so shut up with the hate.

Omg who the hell can sing while Cycling 😂 she is just so pro

she sounds fine tbh she sounds like she should sound while dancing and exercising and singing at the same time

Are there any listeners of this masterpiece...in 2023🔝💖💖🔝

No one: Not a single soul: Not even the stationary bike: Ariana Grande: OoH bAbYy

I actually think she does a hell of a lot better singing live than most singers these days. Major props to being able to sing on a fucking bike like that.

I remember the night when I had this playing on the TV while making cookies, dancing and singing along. Literally one of the best nights ever 👌❤

❤The Queens of hearts 👑👑Who listens to this song ( I was there)🔝

She was tired and you could hear it but she killed it😍

When you forget to work out but you have VMAS in 20 minutes

These two r the ultimate duo. I’ve watched this about a hundred times

I can't even keep a stable voice when im singing while walking, What ariana did here is incredible.

*She protecc* *She attacc* **but most importantly...* *she needs to get her breath bacc**

Why y'all make her exercise while singing....😥poor ari

Someone..in 2024 ( I was there)🎶❤??

Her being able to sing beautifully while riding that bike think is just amazing

Singin´live while exercising all in high heels. Great Job.

Can we all appreciate the black bodybuilder at 1:47. Ariana was wearing high heels and used him as a step up. Props to you mate!

I'm running outta air watching the first clip it's so impressive! Gotta love Ari!

Wow, Ariana can sing, perform, and workout all at the same time without getting out of breath. That’s insane. Any other singer would lip sync in this kind of situation but she didn’t! She still sang live!

3:25 Nicki to Ariana: “Do yo thang, boo. Do yo thang, boo.” So cute 💕

Whoever said that her voice was shakey and not good needs to learn about singing. she's walking around and she was on an ELLIPTICAL WHILE SINGING. PLEASE TRY TO DO THAT AND STILL SOUND AMAZING AS SHE DID. This performance was marvelous. I give her props.

i love to see the complicity between nicky and ari it s so cute with no competion ! a real friendship

ARI I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! Your voice is legendary! You are so talented being able to do that!!❤️❤️❤️

I can't even talk good while I'm walking and Ariana does a fckn performance riding a bike.... Respect, just for that

When you don't have time to workout but you do it on vma's

I KEEP GOING BACK HERE I HELLA LOVE THEM 😭😭😭😭

Who's here in 2024??✌️💜💕

When you're out of breath and still sound better than 90% of popstars today! AriNicki combo is sure fire!

0:05 Queen Of Pop 2:18 Queen Of Rap 1 song = 2 Queens Beatiful

The stage is on fire 🔥

Ariana Grande is rigorously the most pulchritudinous songstress I've ever witnessed on this planet. 💜💯 She takes my breath away every time I gape at her. A consecrated configuration of a cherubic angel. Even the way she respires is such a beatitude for me. Love you Ariana

YALL SHE SANG BETTER ON A BIKE THAN THE GUY FROM THE CHAINSMOKERS SANG WHILE JUST STANDING THERE

ain't nobody talk about how stunning nicki looked? 😒

This will never not be the most iconic vma performance ever.

I love this live 🥺❤️ their dressings,movements, vibes even voice woaff cool

Yeah she may be out of breath because she was riding a bike but she wanted to , to suit the lyrics and meaning of the song and people need to stop bashing her for it , considering she still did a good damn job. Even on a bike and clearly out of breath she can still sing better live than most artist that just stand in one place 💯

I think it's funny how people complain so much about her singing on a bike. It's something new. It's something she's never done before. At least give her a chance to have fun. People can't just appreciate her actual talent nowadays. All people want is perfection.. There's many other performances that shows that she can really sing, & express her voice.. It's just annoying seeing comments talking about how this was lame, all bc of her being out of breath. Who cares honestly. Just enjoy her for who she is.

happy birthday ♡ to the princess of pop with the unmatched talent and the soul of diamond ❤Ariana Grande❤ Many many happy returns of the day ☆ God bless you my queen💜~ once in the past when i was new to social media platforms, when i was scrolling em' i found a girl lookin' really pretty. i started searching about her and got to know she's the Ariana Grande such a pride of America and a blessing to the music industry. PROBLEM was the first song i heard of hers and became a crazy fan for her high notes 😌 her way of talking, hand and facial expressions, outfits and makeup everything looks phenomenal & smart that no one could deny. her sound of laugh, her talking voice are too adorable!! but one thing about her is absolutely non describable! that's her kind heart💝 never thought such a successful and beautiful woman would also at the same time be this much kind and nice to people of the world. her way of motivating and helping people are inspirational 💛 and another thing still gets me shocked. it's the way she is STRONG. she's the strongest woman i've ever seen literally. i couldnt imagine the pain of going through being in such a situation where in own concert a bomb plants and so many people dies. still she was brave enough to attend concert again! ofc why should she keep herself stopped for meaningless bad comments people gave her for absolutely nothing. also, pain of receiving death of a dear ex, grandmother hurts as hell! all the shits you went through and still you're going you are already the strongest queen at this point Ariana Grande 😇 on this special day, we wish you nothing but your best ever luck. may all your dreams come true and we dont know when we gonna see u as the mother ariana but we hope soon and always best wishes for whole ur family #Daltiana ♡ Happy Birthday

Right before the second chorus, you can tell she’s giving it so much raw emotion! I love this and the EMA performances equally! She and QOR Nicki killed both fucking performances !

I hope she shows her true potential at the Billboard Awards by singing Moonlight with the full on vocals she can easily reach.

Ariana is riding a bike in high heels while singing meanwhile i'm out of breath from walking to the fridge and back

I love everything about this performance

YOUR VOICE!!! 😩😩💕💕💕💕💕

you can tell shes not lip singing cause of the way she sounds as she moves i would have to work out so hard to be able to sing and not run out of breath

At least she didn't fucking lipsync when she was riding that bicycle. That's what most of the singers would do if they were on her place and yet she decided to perform live even with a tough choreography. I respect this woman so much.

Who else in here, while in 2024?

I love Ari's voice ♡ and her colabs are great. ( best artist out there)

Ariana Grande’s fitness trainer: *So when do you want to work out?* Ariana Grande: *yes*

This proves Ari can do anything and sing at the same time. -Sing while exercising -Sing while upside down -Singing while walking -Sing a high key anytime of day

Both killed it omg

The effort and skill I meannnnn WHAT IS THIS PERFECTION😍😍😍

Ariana: *slightly messes up two lines because she was riding a bike* Also Ariana: *slays the rest of the song flawlessly* People:OMG DID YOU HEAR HER PERFORMANCE SHE TOTALLY MESSED IT ALL UP😱

This is a proof that ari doesn't lip sync ❤️

I LOVE U ARI 💖

I love ariana so much she has a stunning voice
