"  Confession: We&amp;#039;ve always had a soft spot for Ariana Grande. Maybe it&amp;#039;s the totally OTT Crayola red &amp;#039;do. Maybe it&amp;#039;s the glorious mini-Mariah voice, experienced from time to time during the occasional  Victorious episode. You know, with a baby sis. (Oh! You did it, too.) Or maybe it&amp;#039;s just that she can rock a giant hair bow like none other (more on that in a minute). Whatever it is, we&amp;#039;ve dug Ms. Grande, though maybe not quite in the same way we&amp;#039;ve loved our Miley, Demi, and Selena. That is, until Wednesday night, when we waltzed down to Times Square&amp;#039; Best Buy Theater to listen to the lady sneak peek her debut album, Yours Truly, three years in the making and out September 3. Newsflash: Ariana Grande is a baby diva in the best way, and she&amp;#039;s about to take over the world. How do we know this? Well, the fact that her monster single, &amp;quot;The Way,&amp;quot; complete with a verse from Mac Miller, has sat atop the charts for weeks straight was a tip-off. (And it just went platinum\u2014go, girl!) But then we experienced hundred of teens, iPhones in hand, wearing the biggest bows they could find on top of their heads, screaming their heads off at N*SYNC/BSB/Britney-levels at the mere sight of her as soon as she hit the stage for her hour-long set. And the screaming never stopped. But it&amp;#039;s cool, because\u2014even though our ears are getting older\u2014this is a gal who really deserves the applause. She can really sing. Like, sang. She hit all the high notes on her insta-classic R&amp;amp;amp;B diddies like a baby Whitney. (Who, she told Seventeen, was a major influence on Yours Truly.) In short, she&amp;#039;s an adorable pop princess with a big voice and an old soul. Sold! Just in case you need more convincing, check out her *fingers crossed* next single, &amp;quot;Piano.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s her answer to Sara Bareilles&amp;#039; &amp;quot;Love Song,&amp;quot; except she isn&amp;#039;t pissed at the guy and sounds like a retro goddess. What&amp;#039;s not to love here?      What do you guys think? Are we totally trippin&amp;#039;, or are you loving Ariana, too? Tell us in the comments! Follow Cosmo editor Rose Walano on Twitter.
