People say she flopped because she's dark skin when motivation came out in 2018 she had EVERYONE talking about her, from the music video to her vmas performance we all wanted to see her but after that we never saw her again then they compare her to ice spice and tyla when they are constantly putting themselves out there whereas normani doesn't she also isn't hungry for this, she wanted to do rnb when she should've done pop because it was working for her, she wants the beyonce level without doing the beyonce work
Honestly " Omgee mah dark skyn is holding me back wahhh" is literally just a lazy argument. Nope, not even an argument... It's just hot air escaping the pressure release valve that is their lips.
Agree plus some ppl maybe too young to remember but when beyonce started most her work was in the style of mainstream almost no experimental stuff just like what was in back then it was only when she became a global sensation that she began to do more provocative photoshoots couture magazines covers and albums that probably reflected her more as a person with themes that are important to her like her roots etc but she only did that when she knew she could not fail she was too big to fail and by then her message resonated with a lot of her fans because she has fans everywhere not just in America but Normani is just starting it takes a lot to reach that level
Normani is complacent. Shes holding herself back she lacks personality and drive. People love Cardi Bs music but it was her personality that made people wanna listen to her and see her succeed.
i don’t think she’s complacent. i think it’s just the perfectionism and lack of self-confidence within herself. she’s still criticizing and nitpicking her own songs on the album after they’ve already come out. that’s not going to make people feel confident that she’s presenting the best version of herself to the world. she’s also probably really sensitive, so that’s why she stays away from social media. she could be a more indie level r&b artist with a smaller dedicated fanbase but with her personality i don’t see her becoming a major star
I dont think normani is insecure but she doesn’t have a good work ethic. She also has an inflated ego. Only Beyonce can go missing for years and drop music with no promo. She should have a tiktok, Instagram, and TH-cam channel and show a bubbly personality. She cant be closed off from her fans. Normani can't build hype being so private.
Right . If she wants to be private she can simply say “hey, I wanna be private. I won’t be performing anymore” etc. then make her music from home and collect her bags 😂

Where was colorism when Missy Elliott was dancing around in a garbage bag beat boxing going platinum, over and over again…..🤔 The issue with Normani is a lot of other things. She needs to regroup and find her creativity like what was mentioned in the video.
I think we have to compare talented people to talented people. Missy is an incredible talent. Missy created her own lane. Normani is waiting on others to direct her.
it’s a shame because she has the talent and had the charm back in 2020 to be big. she should’ve put the album out after her sam smith collab because that non black audience didn’t make her skin tone the center of her identity, unlike the black community
I feel like the biggest issue with Normani is that she’s never been just herself. The industry behind her has framed her as the “next” Beyoncé instead of allowing her to showcase herself and her unique talents. I feel like we’ve never been given the opportunity to really see what she is capable of. Her debut was rehashed 2000s check up on it. I feel like it’s unfair to an artist to pigeon hole them to be like another person instead of themselves and their art. The same thing happened to Leona Lewis being called the next Mariah. That’s my take on this.
I agree because it like they give you a standard and if you don't pass your not good enough. That's damaging That's why I don't like when they compare beyonce to her ,why can't she just be herself your so right.
@@dantayhylton9938 exactly. It’s like comparing Aretha and Nina Simone. Aretha had an amazing range but if they tried to force Nina to be like her we would have missed her deeply emotional storytelling.

Donna Summer and Lola Falana would have never been famous if they allowed their skin tone to be a factor for their success. They marketed themselves to a general market. They also let their talent speak for themselves.
Have you seen shows on Brandy where she was bullied on her first TV show as a child /Thea? Also, Brandy later became the bully on Moesha. Her co-stars talked about how she made it difficult for them.
@@jessejameslatimer8686 Brandy is about 20 yrs. older than Normani. Brandy's show was targeted for black audiences for exposure. Social Media was different back then. Imagine if everything about her was exposed back then as with Donna Summer who went to Germany to start her career and Lola who had black mentors who helped her. Different eras!
I went to the Chris Brown concert on July 9th and Muni Long was one of the guests there and she told us that it was her first concert…so proud of her🥹🙌🏽‼️
It’s such a shame because she’s beautiful and talented. She has more than many people in her field and she can’t get out of her own way. I wish her all the confidence and the best. Her new album is phenomenal as well.
It’s true queen chioma did a video on how ice spice is “flopping “ but she didn’t talk about Normanis album I already listened to her album and I actually really like It I think it’s quite good it’s too bad she waited too long to release it and as you said in the music industry you can’t stop promoting your projects until your a super established/ popular artist
It's annoying how Normani's fans are acting as if dark skin is an incurable curse. Yes, it's not easy to be a Black woman in this industry but this is getting insulting. Also, the Wild Side's MV cost over $1M. This is a crazy budget that no label would give to an artist for one single music video. Not even Beyonce spends that much on a video. The fact that her stans victimized her because she didn't get special treatment with an unlimited budget from her label is ridiculous.
The women from the past were brown skin superstars. Diana Ross, Aretha, Whitney, Chaka, Natalie Cole, but these women all had one thing in common. Th way had hit songs.
Prime example, where was she for the Usher tribute? I thought Coco Jones performance was weaker but she was in there. That is a specifically held spot for an UAB BW. Coco is UADS who is not the strongest singer. Plus Normani is a better dancer so would have offered more, with an album to promote, Coco is not. Tyla and Tinashe showed up. Where was she? And Victoria didn't let being in Ariana Grandes' shadow stop her - she did exactly what you are saying to do - bide your time and keep trying.
She's beautiful and does have dancing talent (I personally don't care for her singing). She should probably try to go into choreography. Not every talented person needs to be famous. She just needs to find her true lane.
@@Joop-on6vuplease! There are no more denzel Washingtons or Samuel L. Jacksons anymore. When we see black couples most of them are sadly toxic. Case in point Keke Palmer and her bd, Meghan Goode's fool.
Yeah it’s sad honestly because I think she’s very pretty and talented but her problem is she doesn’t believe that about herself I feel like she doubts herself at every turn and if u don’t believe in yourself no one else will but I also think sometimes it’s not that every release has to be amazing sometimes it’s better to just be relevant so ppl don’t forget your there it’s a very competitive industry but if she’s trying to perfect all her releases her fan would’ve moved on by then
She dealt with a lot of white supremacy during fifth harmony. Racist white men and Camilla definitely harassed this talented woman. But they always do that when they feel threatened. We have to encorage eachother and win. Now she just doesn’t produce anything sadly.
I used to empathize every chance I got with stories told by dark skinned women about colorism.But I got tired!! The hypocrisy was seething through their statements.
+ExoticalsUnited I Believe if she came out with an album around the MOTIVATION ERA it would have been her biggest Debut sometimes in life you gotta be stable when it comes to seizing opportunities at the moment the spotlight is on you instead of overthinking that a better timing will come !
idk if you know who she is but De'arra from DK4L but she's gotten sooo much lighter she used to be brown skin and now she is pale! so many black women will lighten their skin to fit the standard that majority of black men desire
@@Aries.Goddess30factssss, And they’re gonna blame it on “lack of sun” I’m a browner exotical and I’ve stayed out of the sun and I’ve been the same skin tone for years.
So just genuinely losing the battle to someone who practiced harder, studied more, worked smarter, spent their physical and mental energy wisely instead of on complaining and feeding the perceived bad manifestations in their lives... And then making excuses for it. So not even being able to grow from the L. It's an immature behavior we all have to unlearn eventually if we don't want to die mediocre.
You breaking things down for people is free game. An act of charity. I'm not sure you'll ever be fully repaid for your service to humanity but I have faith that your efforts will be reciprocated in full. Lol
literally in every single interview she says the same woe is me script on repeat and she's had the same script for years. She sees herself as a victim and keeps using the fifth harmony thing as an excuse to disengage from the public and her fans. also if she can't chase her dreams while going through adversity she simply isn't meant for this life and we see that
and thank you for mentioning megan, what megan has gone thru in the past 5 years is way worse than Normani's situation and Megan has been working her ass off even harder and using it as fuel. Normani is using the hardships as an excuse for laziness and an inferiority complex.
Also, Normani has this weird mentality that if she's not doing the biggest most prestigious gigs and projects with million dollar budgets than it's not worth it. That has shit her in the foot.
Awesome video! I was on a social media break and im back. I agree, many people use colorism as a crutch as to why they cant make it but look at sexxy red ( not the best eg), she is not letting any isms hold her back.
She does have lack of confidence. Diana Ross was a superstar she was not light skin, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin , Evelyn King, just to name a few. Could it be Normani music sucks!
"Pro-black" is a sick joke where these non-ADOS content creators are concerned to begin with. Let's face it, Normani is NOT far removed from MLS/MGM/BIPOC singers and actors.
As an African woman I think African women should mind their business and leave original black American alone because why do they act like they speak for group of people they have no history with? I feel many Africans are jealous of original black Americans
They do try and use colorism to try and freely hate someone randomly. That’s why the colorism convo has gotten watered down because they use it against anyone even when there is no colorism to begin with
the dumbest thing normani has done was collab with a headphone company and make a commercial of her listening to music but no album or singles were out to promote....lmaoo
some of the biggest songs in the past year have been by singers that have trusted themselves and gone through alternative routes or aren't the typical mainstream artists. a big hit from muni long who was primarily a successful songwriter (she even wrote fifth harmony's worth it! but did her and mani ever link for a reunion vid? 🤔), tinashe, charli xcx, chappell roan, sabrina carpenter, pinkpantheress, ice spice. women that have worked a decade in a niche audience or gone viral and still riding their wave, women that would've been kept as background singers in the 90s but have control to keep their records. even mani started unconventionally from a group formed off a tv show. there aren't any excuses. there's never been more ways to break through, the only hinderance is people's attention spans that's why to sell albums you need a SOLID fanbase and most of the most popular black artists are in the news because of drama. she doesn't want drama so she has to look beyond racial alliance and go back to her harmonizers core. the other artists listed have mainly teen, queer, or spanish fans. that's the difference
I feel like everybody’s making excuses for her. Normani’s just not that type of artist. As fans we want the absolute best for her & see her winning 🥇 but Normani has to want to invest as well. Point blank it’s her own downfall. We can’t blame the labels , her skin tone, the talent none. Normani doesn’t want too, period. It starts & ends with self. Let’s take accountability
Normani career was a success in the beginning her hits are love lies witch peeked number 9 in the billboard hot 100 same with dancing with a stranger peeked number 7 on the billboard hot 100 same with motivation and wild side peaked on the billboard hot 100
When she cried about racism and stuffs, she already sold her fate as the victim and that's how the public will see her forever and this is plus with her lack of confidence. She started her career with an air of negativity and now negativity and racism talk overshadows her career.
Can’t nobody mess with Chloe on the mic including Beyonce and everybody Beyonce knows. Beyonce signed Chloe because she knew she was special and need to put her on a shelf like she did, and instead of making Chloe a pop star she made her hood. So sad.
i think she really needs a collaborator/ mentor in the industry that she feels comfortable with and can bounce ideas off of. she also still doesn’t have music videos or visuals out for this era, even though apparently she’s filmed a music video already. maybe the label is holding her back from releasing it, and to be fair just because she signed a contract it doesn’t mean she knows for sure in the future what her label will approve and not approve. apparently she has a brand deal, and she’s going to be starring in a movie soon but i haven’t seen any ads for the movie yet like i have for brandy’s new movie
Normani needs some motivation to promote herself. I do think certain -isms have rattled her confidence and she hasn’t really recovered since. It would be nice to see her do more on social media like Chloe or even Megan thee Stallion. Normani dropped her album, and has barely made any posts about it. Meanwhile Meg is promoting that one Japanese song by reposting TikTok’s and Reels. Normani hasn’t done anything like that. She says she wants to be on bigger stages, but honestly she should be thankful to be on *any* stage. Her biggest flaw is her lack of consistency.
She's talented dont get me wrong, but I just think she needs to stop trying so hard and just believe in herself for once. I dont care for the over sexual content that she likes to portray to her audience. It's too much and cringy for the least that makes her less sexy. However she does have the potential
She does have lack of confidence. Diana Ross was a superstar she was not light skin, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin , Evelyn King, just to name a few. Could it be Normani music sucks!
Even if I compare her to women with similar talent like Ciara and tinashe (both better dancers than singers) I still feel like normani doesn’t even post as much as them and I also don’t see a lot of covers of normani just singing online like the other girls, etc

They do try and use colorism to try and freely hate someone randomly. That’s why the colorism convo has gotten watered down because they use it against anyone even when there is no colorism to begin with
Exactly
what is ur consipracy on Beyonce's behaviour with her fans? 🤔🤔 Plz make a video!
the dumbest thing normani has done was collab with a headphone company and make a commercial of her listening to music but no album or singles were out to promote....lmaoo
some of the biggest songs in the past year have been by singers that have trusted themselves and gone through alternative routes or aren't the typical mainstream artists. a big hit from muni long who was primarily a successful songwriter (she even wrote fifth harmony's worth it! but did her and mani ever link for a reunion vid? 🤔), tinashe, charli xcx, chappell roan, sabrina carpenter, pinkpantheress, ice spice. women that have worked a decade in a niche audience or gone viral and still riding their wave, women that would've been kept as background singers in the 90s but have control to keep their records. even mani started unconventionally from a group formed off a tv show. there aren't any excuses. there's never been more ways to break through, the only hinderance is people's attention spans that's why to sell albums you need a SOLID fanbase and most of the most popular black artists are in the news because of drama. she doesn't want drama so she has to look beyond racial alliance and go back to her harmonizers core. the other artists listed have mainly teen, queer, or spanish fans. that's the difference
Privelage stacking is critical for black wimrn
If anyone has listened to dopamine it’s soooooo good!
I feel like everybody’s making excuses for her. Normani’s just not that type of artist. As fans we want the absolute best for her & see her winning 🥇 but Normani has to want to invest as well. Point blank it’s her own downfall. We can’t blame the labels , her skin tone, the talent none. Normani doesn’t want too, period. It starts & ends with self. Let’s take accountability
Normani career was a success in the beginning her hits are love lies witch peeked number 9 in the billboard hot 100 same with dancing with a stranger peeked number 7 on the billboard hot 100 same with motivation and wild side peaked on the billboard hot 100
Normani understands that she cannot sing without engineers.
She can get a better engineer, and get better beats. The beats are what makes the songs nowadays.
normani can actually sing tho...the vocal mixing done by the engineers is what drowns her voice out
When she cried about racism and stuffs, she already sold her fate as the victim and that's how the public will see her forever and this is plus with her lack of confidence. She started her career with an air of negativity and now negativity and racism talk overshadows her career.
Can’t nobody mess with Chloe on the mic including Beyonce and everybody Beyonce knows.
Beyonce signed Chloe because she knew she was special and need to put her on a shelf like she did, and instead of making Chloe a pop star she made her hood. So sad.
i think she really needs a collaborator/ mentor in the industry that she feels comfortable with and can bounce ideas off of. she also still doesn’t have music videos or visuals out for this era, even though apparently she’s filmed a music video already. maybe the label is holding her back from releasing it, and to be fair just because she signed a contract it doesn’t mean she knows for sure in the future what her label will approve
and not approve. apparently she has a brand deal, and she’s going to be starring in a movie soon but i haven’t seen any ads for the movie yet like i have for brandy’s new movie
I’m wondering if Fifth Harmony gave Mattel permission to even be on Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse like me lmao
I need Normani to realize that she is the moment and that she deserves to be here
She has no personality
She doesnt even know how to choose a good spouse who can take her to the next level.
Normani needs some motivation to promote herself. I do think certain -isms have rattled her confidence and she hasn’t really recovered since. It would be nice to see her do more on social media like Chloe or even Megan thee Stallion. Normani dropped her album, and has barely made any posts about it. Meanwhile Meg is promoting that one Japanese song by reposting TikTok’s and Reels. Normani hasn’t done anything like that. She says she wants to be on bigger stages, but honestly she should be thankful to be on *any* stage. Her biggest flaw is her lack of consistency.
Adi Oasis is an amazing singer she's French and jamacian. Multiply is my jam
Jade is what normani should be
Norman is beautiful but she comes off as very bland. Truthfully I think dancing is better within her realm as opposed to singing.
Normani is not sexy and that’s her problem.
Diana Ross sexy, Mariah, Janet, Aretha, Whitney sexy
She's talented dont get me wrong, but I just think she needs to stop trying so hard and just believe in herself for once. I dont care for the over sexual content that she likes to portray to her audience. It's too much and cringy for the least that makes her less sexy. However she does have the potential
She does have lack of confidence. Diana Ross was a superstar she was not light skin, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin , Evelyn King, just to name a few.
Could it be Normani music sucks!
Oop, don't forget Anita Baker!
Even if I compare her to women with similar talent like Ciara and tinashe (both better dancers than singers) I still feel like normani doesn’t even post as much as them and I also don’t see a lot of covers of normani just singing online like the other girls, etc
Don't forget Tina Turner, Janet Jackson, Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman
all old school black girls how sad it's like there's no current black artists apart sza
I also say Brandy, Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia
