AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande gave fans attending her recent Houston show a special treatment. While bringing her tour to Houston Toyota Centre a few days ago, the singer got everyone at the venue super excited with a cover to Justin Bieber's latest hit "What Do You Mean?".
Since Bieber's song was released, there have been fans pointing out how similar it is to Grande's own hit "One Last Time". Earlier this month, YouTuber Jake Marra created a mash-up of the two tracks and shared it on YouTube. The re-work quickly went viral and won approval from the two superstars.
"Whoever did that is such a genius. I've never thought to put two and two together but I love it!" Grande said of "One Last Time/What Do You Mean" during an interview with Ryan Seacrest. Bieber has also learned of the mash-up and said he "loved it."
@ArianaGrande saw the mashup.
Loved it. Thanks
