The American Music Awards are always a good showcase for Ariana Grande. Last year, she stunned everyone with a beautiful rendition of her Yours Truly song "Tattooed Heart," and yet again this year she was able to prove that she has one of the strongest voices in the game. For the 2014 AMAs, Grande got jazzy with her three lead My Everything singles "Problem," "Break Free" and "Love Me Harder."
Grande kicked off her trio medley with a stripped down version of her hip-hop leaning single "Problem." Wearing a stunning black lace dress and her makeup simply, Grande was accompanied by a lone piano and saxophone player, giving "Problem" a massive make-under to show off her vocal prowess.
She then smoothly transitioned into "Break Free," giving the Zedd-featuring single the same treatment as "Problem," complete with a sax solo.
It took three songs for Grande to get into full band mode, when her "Love Me Harder" collaborator The Weeknd joined her onstage. The two wandered about the stage, interacting with one another and giving the song the highly emotional feel that it deserves.

Ariana Grande was not the only performer at the 2014 AMAs, of course. She joined the likes of Iggy Azalea, Lorde, 5 Seconds of Summer, One Direction and Taylor Swift in the lineup.
