Grande problems

On April 28, 2014, Ariana Grande released her new lead single, “Problem” from her upcoming sophomore studio album which name has not been released. The up-tempo pop song also featured Australian recording artist and bad girl, Iggy Azalea, also known as “Iggy Igz.” Nickelodeon star, Grande surprised everybody with her new bad girl attitude and most wonder if she should continue it. Grande is known for her high-pitched voice and childish attitude on the popular Nickelodeon shows, Sam and Cat and Victorious. Azalea, known for her famous song “Fancy,” has a completely different image. She claims to have hated school growing up but clearly never let it ruin her dreams. In 2012, Azalea became the first female and non-American rapper to be featured on XXL Magazine’s annual Top Ten Freshmen cover issue. The two do not mix and Grande should stick to her good-girl roots with her child-like looks and quirky attitude. The two are both scheduled to be on tour the rest of 2014 but will not be together.

About the Contributor

Noemi Lozano, Copy Editor

Senior Noemi Lozano will be part of The Downey Legend for her second year as copy editor by taking on the responsibility of making important documents needed to have a successful deadline. She first heard about The Downey Legend from a photographer her sophomore year and joined her junior year where it really helped her become more social. “Freshmen year I was really shy and now I can’t stop talking,” Lozano said. She is a big people person but one of her biggest pet peeves is when people say her name wrong or mistakenly call her Naomi.

One of Lozano’s favorite shows is Orange is the New Black. During her free time she listens to her favorite artist Kid Cudi .One of Lozano’s goals is to move to San Francisco. “I just want to get away from here and explore,” Lozano said. Another goal of hers would be working with kids, because she wants to follow in her older sisters’ footsteps: one is 25 years old and teaches children with special needs, and the other is a 28 years old speech therapist.
