Ariana Grande And Nicki Minaj Team Up With Jessie J For Their New Music Video, 'Bang Bang' (PICS, VIDEO)
Jessie J Makes Some New Friends In The 'Bang Bang' Video
Daniel Welsh— The Huffington Post UK
Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj both make appearances in Jessie J’s brand new music video for their single ‘Bang Bang’, a collaboration which we're sure came about totally organically, and not at all in a board meeting.
With three of the biggest names in pop music right now (well… two and a half, sorry Jessie) all appearing in the same video, the stakes were always going to be high, and we’re pleased to say the clip delivers the goods.

The three stars each perform their part of the song in separate scenes - Jessie sings for a crowd in a city street, Ariana lounges with some friends at what looks to be a ‘Grease’-esque girlie sleepover and Nicki raps while getting in and out of a helicopter, seemingly unable to make her mind up about whether she wants to fly somewhere or not. Possibly to go and yell at the tailor who made the dress she performed in at the VMAs.

Nicki Minaj emerges from a helicopter. So relatable.
Just when it looks like the three of them aren’t going to be in the same room at the same time - y’know, the exact way they recorded the song in the first place - they appear together to dance on a helipad. This might seem like a brilliant way to mess up your hair and little else, but that doesn’t affect Ariana Grande, who hasn’t had her hair out of a ponytail since the mid-2000s.
