Ariana Grande is known for posting Youtube videos of herself singing popular songs.

The 17-year-old singer and actress recently talked to tvguide.com about her decision to create a mashup of Lady Gaga‘s “Born This Way” and Madonna‘s “Express Yourself.”

“They’re both really empowering songs, and there are a lot of young girls that look up to me, so I want to give them something that makes sense for them to listen to. I want it to say to them ‘WOO! Girl Power!”
