Tinashe understands EXACTLY what Normani is going through, she literally got the same treatment from MTV, RCA and the industry in general and she's one of the best performers ever, her discography is incredible and she's super talented, just like Normani, but Normani needs to leave her label ASAP or she gon be sidelined forever.
Maybe there's some kind of clause in her RCA contract that prevents her from doing this. I hope not, but Empressive's suggestion seems so logical, that I don't know why Normani (or someone on her team) hasn't already suggested this.
I love her but I just feel like there's so much more she can be doing to promote her songs. I feel like her and her team are relying too much on being invited to shows. Chloe and Halle are a prime example of taking matters into their own hands and blowing up from it.
It’s not about the power of race, it’s about work and talent. Normani doesn’t work, she just drops a lazy hit with her incredible dancing and expects to be supported just because she’s black? There are so many other talented black women that actually consistently work and Normani just wants it thrown at her, one damn song and she wants to perform it. How many albums does she have? Songs has she written? Work! How Ariana Grande started and how Olivia Rodrigo consistently works, what exactly does Normani work for? She expects her big features to do all the work.
@@anaisabeja3592 couldn't of said it better myself. Normani is lazy and lacks the drive to be successful. The little bit of global success she got from Motivation, she got shitty and went on hiatus for 2 years because the big bad record label made her release it. Boohoo
@@anaisabeja3592 Yall are so hard on this girl. Still bitter that it took her two years to come out with another song because her mom was dying. Let's be honest, some of yall don't want to support her because she's Black which is why so few Black people are in pop music.
Personally won’t keep having children with someone I’m NOT with exclusively, let alone cheated on me MULTIPLE times. I wish the kids will have good family foundation and a solid portrayal of what love is.
Yasss exactly!! I was literally thinking how the hell did Kylie get knocked up AGAIN by damn Travis Scott????? I haven’t even heard or seen anything about them getting back together smh he don’t want her and it’s obvious and I feel like she’s very young and dumb minded to keep getting pregnant. Not judging because I’m a mother as well but damn Kylie there’s all types of birth control! How is it she didn’t get pregnant by tyga but soon as Travis looks at her she’s knocked up lol
Lol let people do what they wanna do, I personally prefer one baby daddy even if you not exclusive. Travis is a very present father , he loves and takes care and shows up for her daughter. It’s a solid family foundation, your kids will be closer if they share the same dad. Periodt
I love Tinashe's positive energy. That's why she stays blessed against all the odds. Normani is going to push through because she's blessed as well. She may have to create her own opportunities like you said and your idea was a good start.
I feel like Normani hasn’t found her lane yet and her team continues to fail her. Also I feel like De’Arra played it smart. She also has no kids with him and she knows she has a big following and can go far.
I think the problem is Normani herself. She's not motivated at all. She didn't want to release Motivation and RCA stepped in and made her release it. And when it was released she went on hiatus because she didn't feel like doing the work.
@@momo-xg7mz exactly! She's doing the bare minimum of her contract for the last 2 years. She's probably still mad that they made her release Motivation when she didn't want to.
@@Alex632 You know she can't release music until her label/management says she can? She's not an independent artist, and she has been wanting to release music but her label does not support her.
Chloe and halle are hardworking and talented. Normani is not. Even tho chloe and halle are signed to beyonce's label , they still do the work, normani herself think she beyonce and doesnt need to do any work.
@@nazik_adam lol...probably iz a fan. Probably frustrated like the rest of her fans...well. there is nothing we can do now but support. God knows what will happen next
Kourtney’s situation is much different from Knloe and Kylie. Kourtney and Scott were in a full blown relationship and just because your partner is struggling does not mean you give up them. Kourtney really put in work for her family before letting it go all together.
Scott cheated on her multiple times and she knew about it but she still got pregnant with their last one and act like nothing happened for a lil minute
Normani doesn't have a huge hit on her hands. If she's booked or not she needs to just continue to get her name out there. It doesn't stop at VMA'S she'll be fine
Shows how much you know lol. Normani’s biggest tune is Dancing With a Stranger feat Sam Smith on its way to 400M views, Motivation was a big buzz but bad business made the momentum slow down
@@medylemaproductions that was with someone else and also motivation was a bop mostly cos of choreography, that’s my opinion, but should she have another hit by herself, she’ll be great , she’ll be ok
It'd be so dope if artist got together and streamed their own "award show" on the nights of any award show. The culture has been waiting for this kind of rebellion
Yessss, they absolutely should. That would let those award shows know that the artist holds the talent and the power of the viewers. If they do it , it would eliminate all the background bull shit from the executives on the mtv show.
They knew NORMANI would be the WHOLE SHOW! That performance would have been the talk AND of course they have camilla whatever her name is performing...
Normani hasn’t blown up mainstream that much she has this song but I honestly don’t know how much it’s really hitting I know the video is good but the song idk
Allow Normani's career to do it's thing. I don't want her to succeed because people feel bad for her, I want her to succeed because of her own merits. Let the music speak for itself. If its good it will catch on eventually.
That's why people want her on I'm a, because the music has been speaking for itself.noone is pitying her.do you live under a rock? Have you not seen people begging vma for her to perform?
Agreed I don't think she found her sound yet she's talented but I think if she finds her sound and take it seriously the fans will support her as hard as they do Beyonce
Kylie is nothing by a glorified baby mama. NEXT story. I wish nothing but success for Normani she needs to keep pushing forward and building her brand.
I feel like Tinashe persistent will be rewarded soon. Sis goes hard! Also, I agree with what you said… Normani need to step out the box, utilise her social media to gain more attention. Hopefully her contract allows her to use her socials as she sees fit
I totally agree with you. The respect Tinashe has gotten the past two years are well deserved. She’s one of the most versatile artists I know. Only she (and maybe a few others) can give me an album with a beautiful ballad, a hip hop banger and an R&B bop. Normani is very talented as well and she has much potential, I just feel like her label is really sabotaging her at this point 🥀
The fans cling more to De’Arra than Ken, so I can honestly say that their separation will have a stronger effect on him. It kind of sucks because I have been following them for a while and I enjoy their content, but it is what it is.
Normani needs to realize that it doesn’t matter how many promises your team makes doesn’t matter how hard they “try” if they never succeed. That’s the problem with black artists. We feel a sense of loyalty to a label that is not loyal to you. A label they will drop you and replace you and not think twice. She needs to worry about herself. There’s nothing wrong with being selfish when it comes to your music and your brand. They had their chance with waves, then motivation, now wild side. Normani RCA has has their chance. It’s time to move on to bigger and better because RCA is not cutting it. They obv don’t know what to do with black women.Normani should’ve already had pre recorded performances. Normani has something that can easily make her in to a mega star. She has the black community behind her but her label does not acknowledge that. Use that. Capitalize on that. The fact that we want her to win. I know it may seem like looking out for the white vote is smarter but we proved in the recent election and in the 2018 election that when the black community comes out and support we shut it down. Normani you need a black team. People who get you not only as an artist but as a person. The roll out was messy with the drama and not to mention WHERE IS THE PROMOTION? PROMOTION WHERE? Where are the endorsements? I should see Normani with revlon or a good black makeup brand. She should be the face of a dance app. Or a guest judge on a dance or singing show. Come on. Where is the effort from RCA because other than dropping a song with a video, I don’t see it.
What if it has a stronger affect on her and he finally can live his life happily and in private? Y'all are too judgemental and shady and need to spiritually grow and heal, y'all talk too much shit man.
I'm excited about De'arra's channel. I watched their channels because of her personality and style. Always felt like she carried the channel. I'm looking forward to her flourishing on her own.
Agreed! I only watched for De’arra. Ken was annoying. Especially when it came trying new things/foods etc. he’d just stand oddly by with a disapproving look & ask questions instead of trying it for himself.
Empressive the thing I love ❤️ about you is your a real supporter of the culture. You dropped some major career advice in this video for Normani. The ideas you gave are very good and would probably work. I appreciate how you inform and support the community. You educate and document our history. Thank you for your commitment and dedication.
Honestly Normani could’ve performed her song by now on her own. Come on girl…get it together. That’s literally all she needs to do…people that enjoy talent will rock with her regardless
I really love how you showcased all of Normani’s dance moves. Girl can dance her butt off! I didn’t even know she performed on dancing with the stars and that’s a shame that people haven’t always been talking about her big time!
She’s a glamorous baby momma. These black men and white women deserve each other. Black women please let these dudes take their L’s and we as black women can continue to be great.
I’m SO glad Tinashé spoke on Normani’s behalf. I’ve actually been saying that they BOTH should work together INDEPENDENTLY. Both of their talents especially in daaance 💃🏾 💃🏽 whew chile they would shut shit down ✨👏🏾
It’s like y’all basically want people to support Normani just cus she’s dark skinned.. when Normani is basic and mediocre herself.. there’s a few live performances of her vocally sounding bad and dancing mad and looking out of place and just standing on stage laughing. Plus she doesn’t have a aura or quality about her that screams she’s a star.. she looks like any random beautiful black girl 🤷🏽♂️ When you see or hear the likes of Aaliyah, Rihanna, Beyoncé etc.. you stop and look because they have a aura and unique sound and style that you know is there’s… Normani doesn’t have that and y’all are highly over hyping her up when we don’t even have a album or anything to go off of to even wanna support her.. plus we don’t even know her.
This young lady is so talented and it’s just awful that she doesn’t get the recognition she deserves. I don’t know if it has to do with her beautiful melanin complexion or RCA just sucks as a record label. 🤷🏽♀️
Sad to say but complexion is a part of it and YES she's very talented but she has the wrong ppl behind her that's not doing her any justice I want Normani to WIN but she needs the right ppl behind her
Tinashe is not dark and had that problem with RCA too. And she's even more talented, honestly, they're both great performers but Tinashe is also a great musician. So Idk what the real problem with RCA is.
I feel like normani is resting solely on her talent. And forgetting that consistency and grind is a bigger part of the picture. She could be putting out content on ig and TH-cam, FORCING people to pay attention to her. The fans will stand behind you but you gotta keep going.
Honestly I wish she would do what doja does and connect more with her fans through social media and put out lives and different performances of her songs
Yeah people say Normani is a sweetheart as well. I hate that people want to be comparing them and also are so hard on them because they are genuinely nice. Tinashe just released a great album. Normani is just getting started. Nobody is doing bad here🙄🙄
Normani needs to take notes from Chloe Bailey.... This girl didn’t have the head start that Nornani did, yet is always trending, because she puts in the work, with or without a team, using social media. Idk if Normani’s contract is keeping her from doing certain things, but she needs to step it up, in my opinion. Also, she needs to release more pop for now, until she’s more seasoned.
Factssss them Bailey sisters started from the bottom and worked they way up and never gave up on their craft.label or not it wouldn’t hurt your fans to put out a cover/remix.Use social media for what it is.Chloe Bailey light would never dim for the simple fact she’s always working and projecting her craft.
The Kardash/Jenner mindset when it comes to the "one baby daddy" policy is foolishness. If the parents don't like each other, don't respect each other or themselves, it WILL affect their parenting (or lack of). All those kids, they may be super young but kids in general are VERY perceptive. They may end up even closer to one another as siblings than the parents they share. I would love for Normani to get in contact with Dawn Richard. That woman is a treasure trove. So much to learn from and admire.
I agree with the one baby daddy thing... It's obvious to me Kylie and Travis don't have much chemistry. I feel like he's around because he has to now. Kylie is low key single idc what anyone says.
@@Burnedtongue How about agreeing with the one HUSBAND thing instead of "baby daddy thing". Also, I rather have my kids my different people (not ideal) then to keep popping out kids for a man that treats me like trash. My friend did that she wanted her children to have the same father so after her first child a boy she got knocked up again by her baby daddy. Now, she has two kids by him and he still cheats on her constantly. She is miserable. She should have just had the ONE learned her lesson and picked better next time so she could find her happy ending.
The kardashians are following after their mom! Kris stayed with Bruce (Catelyn) all those years, had all those kids, and knew that man (man at the time) was feeling like he wasn’t in the right body. So she just stayed with the same man for the sake of kids. Her daughters are trying to hold onto men who don’t want to be with them for the sake of having kids.
Kris has had kids with two people, Robert Kardashian and Catelyn Jenner. Kris had Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob with Robert. She had Kendall and Kylie with Catelyn. She had already divorced Robert and had been married to Catelyn for like 12 years by the time of Robert’s passing in 2003. Kris had 2 baby daddies thus, rendering your statement false. The Kardashians are not following in Kris’s footsteps.
@@aomeke8368 Do you know how to read? She divorced him 12 whole ass years before he died. She divorced Robert in 1991, got married to Catelyn that same year and in 2003, Robert died. You are also incorrect.
Unpopular Opinion: we gotta stop coddling Normani. We're all praising her for the POTENTIAL that could be instead of actual tangibles she's bringing to the table. No album, two OK singles, barely promotes her songs, barely any live performances, hella long hiatuses (she performed Motivation literally like twice lmao). Like her and her team have dropped the ball astronomically. Yes she is an AMAZING dancer, one of the best I've seen but she's still to early in her career for us to be acting like she deserves a prime time spot at the VMAs just cuz. I haven't even seen her perform that song one time live, like not even on Jimmy Kimmel, GMA, club appearances or anything. Work on building an actual catalog of music first and an actual identity and resume as an independent artist would be a better strategy...
🎯🎯🎯🎯, homegirl need to put in the work, her sings only have weight due the amazingly music videos and how amazing she's dancing, other than that there's nothing especial
Normani only took a break because her mom had cancer. She was there for her mom’s treatments and supporting her. She put her family first which is what one should do. Also, her song got pulled from Apple Music and some other streaming platforms due to samples from Aaliyah’s song. Same reason why she was booked to perform on Jimmy Kimmel but was pulled at the last minute. She has had to face a lot of adversity but she will definitely continue to overcome and grow as an artist because she has God given talent and she does work hard. Her career is going to flourish, just watch.
The whole "sabotage" excuse is tired. Normani has had Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, THE Janet Jackson and now Cardi B supporting her. Not to mention the twitter hype that she gets. But the music is just NOT hitting. Her fans keep bringing up Camila Cabello, but when they both performed on the VMA's Camila still managed to get more views on their official channel. That girl is not a mogul or a powerful entity in the bussiness. At this point, Normani's fans are just making excuses as to why she's not on top, despite the MASSIVE opportunities that she's had.
Thank you killer queen! Loved your response! Sometimes the artist have something, but sometimes that’s not enough. Norman i needs to integrated into another group, because i don’t see her taking the world by storm BY HERSELF!
Imagine if Chloe and Halle dropped their album then waited for performances to find them. Her team is lazy. So many artists build hype around themselves on their YT
She is not waiting for a performance to find her. You’ve obviously have not been paying attention or else you would know how her scheduled performances would mysteriously be canceled. Her wild side roll out reeks of sabotage
I love how Chloe×Halle's team had them performing in their backyard and producing their own performances week after week and putting them on TH-cam......u can't wait around for an award show...at some point your TEAM has to take things in their own hand.....
ChloeXHalle aren't that successful either unfortunately. The public and these labels only seem to want to push younger black female artist is they are rappers it seems. And a certain type of rapper at that. In my view. CxH, Normani, Tinashae and others should be a bit bigger than they are.
@@a.d.w8385 chloe×halle are fine because they are building an ACTUAL AUDIENCE and not some Flash by night Hype......they may not have the RECORD SALES and #1 songs but they have a SUPPORTIVE LABEL that funds their VIDEOS, PRODUCES their performances and have gotten them on the Grammy stage....and endless opportunities with HULU & DISNEY....and they are allowed to do the music they want even if it's not successful commercially....RCA held back Tinashe creatively and forced her to do music she didn't want.....Normani has social media Hype yet her team is just awful at building a PERFORMANCE CATALOGUE...she drops a song then disappears for long periods with little to no performances....... it's almost 4 weeks since WILD SIDE dropped and not even a single performance....not GMA, KIMMEL, FALLON etc....
@@a.d.w8385 I have to disagree with you there. The girls have had 4 Grammy nominations, Halle is the new Ariel, they’re both on Grownish, and still create and produce their own music. They’re on a completely different level.
Normani is now becoming like Tinashe. Pretty, talented but being pushed back by the industry. Cuz they are a threat to the less talented girls but are willing to be manipulated.
Her songs just don’t seem to connect yet. Her voice is fine but nothing special. Like it takes the right songs to get popping especially when ur voice isn’t crazy.
@@kilocopter Dude stop coming and hating in all of this comments. We get it you don't like Normani's voice or think it's average, but your missing the point. If Normani was white and could still dance the way she does but have an average voice. She most definitely would be booked for the Vmas. It's always harder for black women and yes race does play a matter in this it always does.
@@laurenj6802 u think every white singer makes it ? No they don’t o know it’s a advantage but normsni songs just aren’t that strong that’s the problem. She used a Aaliyah sample for a ok song so…… She seems like a artists that people want to pop but just isn’t like Tinashe, Rita Ora in America, tink, etc…
It’s nothing to do with race . It’s to do with financial means and stability . No one calls Angela or Vanessa Simmons a ghetto baby mama , they both have children out of wedlock .
In this industry it's not just about talent, Normani needs to keep putting herself out there. Go parties, do lots of interviews and show your personality. Yes we know that you're talented but there needs to be more. Go date a celebrity, this is what people do to keep the hype. You're so low key and quiet like beyonce and that wont work. You're still fairly new.
Agreed at the same time tho I feel like it’s important to still stay true to yourself and your craft. Chloe and Halle are very underrated but there slowly becoming bigger and bigger and that’s because there staying true to there original R&B sounds. Even if they aren’t the most popular, I do think they will be soon. Beyoncé even told them let people catch up to your music, don’t follow the trends basically. I do agree with you tho that Normani needs to promote herself more. She’s very new and has only two songs that have moderate success. She’s needs to put more songs out there.
@@jacobdecker2564 factssss! Chloe and Bailey be working even when theyre not working.Chloe doing covers and showing off her range.Showing her producer skills also and Halle literally acting for damn near a year but also still having time for her fans and feeding them.them sisters work very hard and deserve that stardom.Normani got to work even when she’s not working.put out covers and remixes.do a live and engage with your fans just to keep them updated.She got to put herself out there more.Fk the label because you can still do all those things I mentioned without a label.
We have to realize Mani comes from a group that was branded by MTV for pop stars! She really needs to go southern with revamping her music! Her team needs to get her to every southern state and promote her! She needs to build a social media presence! She’s beautiful and talented! She’s a walking LLC!
Normani needs Rihanna's or Beyonce's team! Yes she needs to utilize social media!Do a live performance on TH-cam. This is how doja cat revived her career.
Beyonce built her team, it wasn't handed to her. Picking her dancers, selecting the crew, starting her own company to produce, etc. Rihanna had a rough go of things with management and some people around her as well. Team is very important but you need drive and ruthlessness to pick the right people and push yourself.
Also doja cat out herself in the spotlight with the Moo thing. Her team thought it was silly. And then she was constantly on social media, especially insta lives. There's clearly been a great budget and promotion thrown behind her but that came after she really pushed herself into the limelight
The music industry is trash to me. Being an independent artist is one of the best things a talented and gifted artist could ever do. Being able to stand on your own and say you rose to the top is very rewarding. So I say eff these labels and all. She has what it takes, and as long as she has the support of her fans , that's all she needs to continue rising to the top. PERIOD.
I love how u show love to Normani! She's very talented & purposely overlooked bcuz her talent is raw and REAL. She can & will do great things, as long as she believes she's as great as she is. She's a fresh urban entertainer, in every aspect of it.
To be honest... should Normani perform? She'd kill it, that's no doubt. But there are artist with more consitent projects and practice engaging their fans and the general public who it takes YEARS to get to perform. She already got that opportunity to head straight to the VMAs with motivation: thats pretty much a one shot deal. I agree, she should put on her own shows in the meantime. She'll have her chance in no time if she does.🤎
I 100 percent agree with you! Normani needs to be a bit more consistent and take initiative to interact with her fans and set up stuff for herself. If she keeps disappearing for months and relying on her team instead of herself it will end in chaos. She's so talented it would be sad if she never got her chance to shine.
@Anne Day Actually, still no imo. Having a great pop song after breaking out of 5H, having hits with Khalid and Sam Smith, and disappearing for two years to come back with a song that only charted in the teens for a week, then drops dramatically? That's not a good look. Even with the obvious problems with streaming services, business people in the industry still don't see that as a reason for it to have not bounced back after. Sadly, if anything, she's proven from a broadcasting/business standpoint that she is only for a niche audience. I don't think that's fully reflective of what she wants to do with her career, but her having that haitus and a complete rnb comeback song is going to make her have to work a little harder to prove herself. That's the industry, sadly.
@@hilo6487 the song is definitely bouncing back tho. It fell to 100 on Apple Music and is back in the top 50 now. Also it’s rising on billboard as well. The song only debut so high because of fans mass buying its first week.
She’s a great dancer an OK singer however I don’t know about being a great performer tho ??? she can dance her butt off but doing another dance # is played out already . What I honestly think is hindering her career is her is trying to step over everybody and labeling herself better than everybody.
For one in your T-Pain documentary T-Pain already said, “That RCA doesn’t care about their urban artists.” Even though Normani is CLEARLY a pop/r &b girl, RCA more than likely looks at her as a r&b girl because she’s black. I PERSONALLY think that she should have kept the steam rolling when she came out with “Motivation” and kept with that new generation Beyoncé, majorette, classy, pretty, prissy home girl from the hood image and vibe that she gives. That’s what the whole motivation video represented to me a new leading young black woman in music for this younger generation who is like a majorette street dancer, classy, pretty, prissy, but got that home girl from the hood vibe, like Beyoncé was for her generation and like Janet Jackson was for her generation. To me that is what Normani is in a nutshell to me and that SHOULD be her brand. EMBODYING what every young black woman is in this generation. But I think the problem may have been Normani probably didn’t even know what she wanted her brand to be or what her sound would be. But I DEFINITELY think she should’ve kept with a pop/r&b sound. Pop enough to be bubble gummy and catchy but r&b enough to give listeners that soul and feeling behind it to groove and move
I’m not about to keep blaming everybody else, I spent so much time saying it was her team, “people were holding her back” whatever, it’s Normani she doesn’t even make herself a presence on social media really, there are so many things she can do and then she took that long break just to drop one song, girl why didn’t you have more singles lined up.
The opportunity was not taken away from her Empressive. She just wasn't booked. She had a mild hit. There are plenty of others who have multiple smash hits who I can see the VMA's booking.
@@luanaalmeida809 I'm not a stan when I say this. Camilla has more hits than Normani so will most likely pull in a bigger audience. It's business at the end of the day.
@@luanaalmeida809 but Camilla already has two albums out & a hit single with her song a few years ago .. normani needs to put some albums out the girl could’ve been on her sophomore album by now
I don’t understand why EVERYBODY is jumping on that pitty wagon when it comes to Normani ! Yes she’s talented and I looove that at first the whole black community supported her, rightfully so, cause let’s be honest, we neeeeeeed more dark skinned pop stars. But the music she have been putting out is just not great ! There is always a piece missing, she is a new artist and goes MIA for years! Come on even big artist are afraid to do that ! Her whole career is poorly managed !
I mean she is talented and it’s not many dark skin talented girl in the industry like her that’s probably why she can sing and dance!!! People are not talented 2021
The cardi feature backfired on Normani, if cardi is not willing or unable to perform it wit her then it loses its marketability. Fire the whole team. She needs whoever is working for Doja cat cause she’s been putting out great performances. RCA should be ashamed
Strangely enough, doja IS signed under rca 😬 clearly they see her as a priority and is putting all the resources into her - Normani’s “team” rely too much on the stans doing all the work and have no follow through once the songs come out 🤦♀️
@@aimstar11 I like doja a lot I don't feel like Normani understands talent isn't enough she needs to develop a brand and a sound. Til then she needs to push and grind everywhere. Seems like she thinks that she can do minimum effort cause she was in fifth harmony but she needs to earn her solo reputation and audience through consistency.
Both Tinashe and Normani are two extremely extraordinary multi talented melanated power houses! BET needs to have both of these women back for the culture, because they can bring some much in so many ways to the culture! #We Need These Two For The Culture! I love how Tinashe used her voice to speak up for Normani and herself as well. Talk about Black Girl Magic!
So Normani makes one song and now she deserves centre stage at the VMAs ? Nah there’s too many talented artists out here dropping multiple projects and don’t even get a whiff at the VMAs . she needs to keep on grinding imo 🤷🏾♀️
Exactly l! Normani should put together her own performances, also I’m waiting for a album or even a EP from Normani. It’s been time for her to shine in all of her glory!
Tbh tinashe and normani are one in the same! They have the look, talent and drive! But for some reason they keep getting shelved for NO REASON! I wanna see them both win
I agree. I think the reason why she's not getting what's hers is because somebody on her team is being iced out. With that said I don't think this has anything to do with race, nearly all the performers on these shows are black anyway.
Normani is still a new artist! She doesn't have an authentic fanbase. People are putting her in this high caliber, but she doesn't put in the work. This pedestal is keeping her from being great! She doesn't interact with her fans, she barely promotes her music, or markets herself. She has to start from the bottom just like all other successful artists. She CANNOT expect to be on a big stage without performing in smaller stages first. She has to work and earn it!
@@wtvig1234 It might not be the Illuminati, but it is definitely something. It could be signing over your life to some executive or whatever. But there is a clear difference between artists.
I think the opposite sounds more plausible 👀. Cause I honestly don't understand how she's never active on social media, doesn't release any music, doesn't make any real efforts (apparently) yet she's still in those powerful circles and being invited to events and stuff by powerful people.
Listen I could be wrong here: I'm starting to see a pattern with Normani, yes I love her and also would like to see her win but its starting to look like she lives off recieving sympathy from others. She needs to wake up and create her own identity and channels of expression, after some time the stories are going to get old. I mean it's always a new story (the label, sabotage, not being included, camilla taking her bag, paying her own video, black balled, needing to be lifted or saved etc.) My point is we all know the odds are against her she needs to grab things and stop playing a weak game. Take it by the horns baby you will win Edit: I'm speaking from experience here I've had similar experiences in my life too
Can we stop babying Normani at this point and hold her accountable? In the age of social media she can literally show up and show out for her fans on her own accord. If she's constantly waiting on other people to get shit done FOR her she's gonna forever be disappointed. Also she needs to stop letting Cardi talk to her and treat her like a charity case 🙄
Exactly, she should start being more active with her fans via social media ex. lives, giveaways etc. Its very obvious her label is trash but that doesn't mean she can't take control of her platform or image. Unless they're also controlling that.
fr this girl ain't that special. too many girls on the streets can sing and dance and some are even better than her. if she not doing it for herself, her label or her team or anyone can't help her
Agreed, I feel like we coddle Normani but her and her team have dropped the ball significantly. Like she hasn't even dropped an album. She's barely done ANY live performances or promotion for her song. It was a mild hit and then dropped like 50 slots on the Billboards a week later. She is an AMAZING dancer yes but as an overall artist, it's WAY too early to be capping her head up the way everyone does.
I'm not sure why y'all keep screaming "sabotage" about Normani. she's a good visual and dancer, but she just doesn't have that "IT" factor. there's nothing unique about her. she isn't Beyonce, so I don't understand the fake shock. she barely puts out music and her vocals aren't that powerful. she reminds me of tinashe. talented, but just not IT.
The differents between normani & tinashe. .. tinashe is constantly writing her own music putting out good music & rising above .., her new album is definitely a staple a r&b . But normani wants the beyonce treatment but doesn’t have a catalog she doesn’t have a hit yet …. But expects the big stage? Doesn’t even promote her music daytime shows or morning shows … normani is focused on mainstream success while tinashe is actually giving us quality innovate new music .
They letting CC perform her new song that was a complete flop. I bet CC said she wouldn’t preform if they let Normani preform. Normani makes CC look talentless.
Its cause Camilla is pushed through the industry. She has the "look". Her being Latin is also why she was pushed through the industry because Latin music is what's being pushed
Damn 1.2 million subscribers 😍😍😍😍yes black woman doing it big on TH-cam!! U keep it 100 % without being biased and that's why I'll always be a subscriber!! Period
Okay but a TH-cam performance would really be a gag because we know how perfectionist Mani is and being able to put her own craft out there would be amazing
Thank you,! Everything you said about Queen Normani is so damn true. Watch this space, she will get to the top, man is man, God is God, the devil has many foot soldiers, but God is all seeing, Amen 🙏🏾
Camila is booked even though her song debuted lower on billboard. Normani’s song debuted higher than hers and is performing better on the charts. I love Camila’s music it’s just an observation 🥴 Normani’s set could coincide with Lizzo’s since they both have a Cardi feature. But your right it’s their loss if they don’t have her. Normani should drop alternate versions of the song to promote it (acapella, acoustic & Instrumental) 🤗
I mean it’s not their loss . Even if Camilla charted lower . Camilla still has a huge fan base & has multiple platinum records as a solo artist . Normani doesn’t even have half of Camilla success .. but normani expects the beyonce treatment .. nahh
I love Normani, but the difference between her and Camila is that Camila is now a household name. With awards shows, it is barely about the charts, but more of the artist itself. She still making name for herself.
@@eddylove5429 exactly! Normani is trying to ride off of potential & star power … when she needs the actual music to back her , the entitlement is crazy
@@eddylove5429 although Normani is not as consistent as Camila she has sold 10 million records as a soloist in the US alone. Let’s not downplay her success. I’m not saying she deserves “the Beyoncé treatment”. She’s just a successful artist with a popular song/video. Aren’t those the qualifications for the show? You would think so? The VMA’s booked her before she had all this success. What’s the difference now? This song is actually doing better than “Motivation” 🤷🏾 I don’t think this will be her end all be all but it would’ve been a nice look. I’ll keep streaming and supporting hr music regardless because I enjoy her music.
Bravo 👏 👏👏 love the new intro . My opinion about Ms.Normani , honey she is the award herself! Period! She is motivating captivating elevating beyond the STARS. In a class by herself. She doesn’t need approval from no one… You are the award… keep showing are family (people) that strength and power we possess BLACKGIRLMAGIC!!!
She isn’t going to. This woman shows Nicki can do no wrong! They will cover this up till the end. They won’t address it until she’s won and if she doesn’t they won’t address it at all!🥴
Of course they wouldn’t let Normani preform, she is a black female artist, and these awards (Vma’s and Scammy’s) and all do tend to discredit these types of artists, doja cat was also Snubbed for the Vma’s. They don’t want a powerful black woman to preform.
Here’s my take. Normani is a very talented “artist”. I say artist because while she can dance her ass of, she has not truly showcased her vocal ability and she has yet to do anything that makes her stand out from the bunch as far as her music goes. This new song is nice but if it had not been for the visual, people wouldn’t have paid it no mind other than the fact that it samples Aaliyah’s “One in a Million”. Her team is truly her downfall and I’m sure they thought putting Cardi on the song would do something and it truly didn’t elevate the song in any way shape or form. It’s truly sad because out of the fifth harmony girls Normani had so much more potential to be something. Also it needs to be discussed how she has been a solo artist since around 2018 and has yet to release a full project. Even her single releases are at least 5-6 months apart from each other. On top of that, she has yet to prove that she can deliver a song without the help of a featured guest. By no means am I being shady but these are just obvious observations that can be made with how her career has panned out.
I guess if your being black balled it would be hard to show your true capabilities without being rejected or them trying to change your image good luck baby girl we see you & your skills.
You're not being shady, you're being realist. Normani needs to be allowed to release an album already and showcase her vocals and experiment with genres.
There's nothing compared to having your first baby after the second people really don't care. Its my time to shine & I'm not letting nobody take it away :)
Also, how do we expect Normani to be big, when this girl has 3 songs? She has motivation which was fun, she had love lies with Khalid, both a long time ago, she featured with Sam Smith but the song was kinda meh. And now Wild Side sounds like every single r&b track, is slow and after a few memes I can't listen to the tututu. She could do so much more! She is a dancer, dance on tik tok and show these Charlie Cameltoes what a dancer mooves like! She does have money and a perfect body, she could be a fashion icon on Instagram! She could be putting performances on yt, dances on yt and FOR ONCE maybe show her personality. This girl has zero! personality! She needs to be someone you actually like for who they are, she should put herself more out there, right now she actin like Beyonce.
@@Bettyboop08 the thing is the industry wont wait for her (especially since she's a black woman) she needs to pull a chloe and hallie and keep forcing her name out there by herself and not just wait for someone else to promote her or at the very least do a couple of independent performances to keep her name buzzing, not just release a single then disappear for a while
I have to agree. I truly adore and am rooting for Normani however, she is not putting out enough content at all! To think Wild Side and Motivation are 2 years apart?!?! How can she succeed when we barely hear from her? She may need to take her career into her own hands and self promote to what degree she's allowed unless she bound by other entities.
I agree. Wild side was not as unique as I hope and she hasn’t been putting out content. However we never know what’s going on behind the scene. Maybe she can’t drop more music
normani has a fantasy that was given to her by her fans that she’s the next big artist and just believes she should have everything, when it don’t work like that.
I agree. Go do the work, go engage with your fans, create new fans. If she were to do a concert I don't think she has 45 minutes of material in her. Keep working and you'll get there. We can't baby her in this journey.
Tinashe understands EXACTLY what Normani is going through, she literally got the same treatment from MTV, RCA and the industry in general and she's one of the best performers ever, her discography is incredible and she's super talented, just like Normani, but Normani needs to leave her label ASAP or she gon be sidelined forever.
Agreed
I hope we get a Normani/Tinashe collab a whole new song new visuals everything it would be toooo fire
I agree but will add that Normani has no discography yet😔But she will
And she literally blamed BW too as to why she didn’t take off immediately after Two On.
@I love you Savannah but that never came out of her mouth omg. And not u saying black women specifically….. whew Chile the lies!
I hope Normani watches this and takes your advice about performing her OWN live performances on TH-cam
Can't we like tag her Vevo to this page or something? Idc I'm slow with these thing😁. But i hope she see this🙏🏾
Maybe there's some kind of clause in her RCA contract that prevents her from doing this. I hope not, but Empressive's suggestion seems so logical, that I don't know why Normani (or someone on her team) hasn't already suggested this.
I would call it the Norma Show. And have each song represent a different artist/ personality. Then at the end present the award to herself. Lol
I love her but I just feel like there's so much more she can be doing to promote her songs. I feel like her and her team are relying too much on being invited to shows. Chloe and Halle are a prime example of taking matters into their own hands and blowing up from it.
@@crichy exactly she's also not present!!
The power that blk people can have in the music industry, if we all stuck together..
say it louder!!
It’s not about the power of race, it’s about work and talent. Normani doesn’t work, she just drops a lazy hit with her incredible dancing and expects to be supported just because she’s black? There are so many other talented black women that actually consistently work and Normani just wants it thrown at her, one damn song and she wants to perform it. How many albums does she have? Songs has she written? Work! How Ariana Grande started and how Olivia Rodrigo consistently works, what exactly does Normani work for? She expects her big features to do all the work.
@@anaisabeja3592 couldn't of said it better myself. Normani is lazy and lacks the drive to be successful. The little bit of global success she got from Motivation, she got shitty and went on hiatus for 2 years because the big bad record label made her release it. Boohoo
@@anaisabeja3592
Yall are so hard on this girl. Still bitter that it took her two years to come out with another song because her mom was dying. Let's be honest, some of yall don't want to support her because she's Black which is why so few Black people are in pop music.
@@levelup9547 agree
Personally won’t keep having children with someone I’m NOT with exclusively, let alone cheated on me MULTIPLE times. I wish the kids will have good family foundation and a solid portrayal of what love is.
Yasss exactly!! I was literally thinking how the hell did Kylie get knocked up AGAIN by damn Travis Scott????? I haven’t even heard or seen anything about them getting back together smh he don’t want her and it’s obvious and I feel like she’s very young and dumb minded to keep getting pregnant. Not judging because I’m a mother as well but damn Kylie there’s all types of birth control! How is it she didn’t get pregnant by tyga but soon as Travis looks at her she’s knocked up lol
THISSSSS!!!!
Truth!
Lol let people do what they wanna do, I personally prefer one baby daddy even if you not exclusive. Travis is a very present father , he loves and takes care and shows up for her daughter. It’s a solid family foundation, your kids will be closer if they share the same dad. Periodt
@@khloebrown1687 Someone's business is not for us to know at face value...
I love Tinashe's positive energy. That's why she stays blessed against all the odds. Normani is going to push through because she's blessed as well. She may have to create her own opportunities like you said and your idea was a good start.
I wish we women would all get on one accord and pull the drain plug out from under these institutions that don't make art that gives LIFE.
I feel like Normani hasn’t found her lane yet and her team continues to fail her. Also I feel like De’Arra played it smart. She also has no kids with him and she knows she has a big following and can go far.
I think the problem is Normani herself. She's not motivated at all. She didn't want to release Motivation and RCA stepped in and made her release it. And when it was released she went on hiatus because she didn't feel like doing the work.
If Norman probably made more songs she'd probably be there
@@momo-xg7mz exactly! She's doing the bare minimum of her contract for the last 2 years. She's probably still mad that they made her release Motivation when she didn't want to.
@@Alex632 You know she can't release music until her label/management says she can? She's not an independent artist, and she has been wanting to release music but her label does not support her.
@@Alex632 to be honest you are totally right !
I think Normani needs to do a Vevo performance like Doja often does because it definitely helped boost her career
That’s a great idea! Doja’s VEVO performances were fire
She's lazy so doubt it.
@@Alex632 what’s this narrative that she’s lazy? what am i missing here?
I agree.
I remember following DC due to her gaming and on Spotify; she blew up literally overnight lol
At this point Normani should pull a Chloe x Halle and make her own live performance or virtual show.
Yep!!!
Chloe and halle are hardworking and talented. Normani is not. Even tho chloe and halle are signed to beyonce's label , they still do the work, normani herself think she beyonce and doesnt need to do any work.

Kourtney’s situation is much different from Knloe and Kylie. Kourtney and Scott were in a full blown relationship and just because your partner is struggling does not mean you give up them. Kourtney really put in work for her family before letting it go all together.
i agree
Scott cheated on her multiple times and she knew about it but she still got pregnant with their last one and act like nothing happened for a lil minute
Normani doesn't have a huge hit on her hands. If she's booked or not she needs to just continue to get her name out there. It doesn't stop at VMA'S she'll be fine
Shows how much you know lol. Normani’s biggest tune is Dancing With a Stranger feat Sam Smith on its way to 400M views, Motivation was a big buzz but bad business made the momentum slow down
@@medylemaproductions and how long ago was that..
@@medylemaproductions that was with someone else and also motivation was a bop mostly cos of choreography, that’s my opinion, but should she have another hit by herself, she’ll be great , she’ll be ok

It'd be so dope if artist got together and streamed their own "award show" on the nights of any award show. The culture has been waiting for this kind of rebellion

I been wanting to be apart of the rebellion! Like let me cohost or something!!!
@@miakaelvira9556 bet is owned by yt pepo
mannnnnnn seriously
Yessss, they absolutely should. That would let those award shows know that the artist holds the talent and the power of the viewers. If they do it , it would eliminate all the background bull shit from the executives on the mtv show.
They knew NORMANI would be the WHOLE SHOW! That performance would have been the talk AND of course they have camilla whatever her name is performing...
Camilla i click off as soon as she comes on? Thanks for letting me know not to watch
Normani hasn’t blown up mainstream that much she has this song but I honestly don’t know how much it’s really hitting I know the video is good but the song idk
Come on. Normani is talented but she isn't close to camilla and Lauren.. She's better than allie and dena
I swear they are sabotaging her! They don’t want her to succeed!!!
No one would've given us that on point crisp clean choreo. Normani has the talent the drive she just doesnt have the LOOK THEY WANT....
Allow Normani's career to do it's thing. I don't want her to succeed because people feel bad for her, I want her to succeed because of her own merits. Let the music speak for itself. If its good it will catch on eventually.
THANK U
That's why people want her on I'm a, because the music has been speaking for itself.noone is pitying her.do you live under a rock? Have you not seen people begging vma for her to perform?
Okay but her talent and music DO speak for itself, problem is nobody is listening
@@kwadwothestan nobody’s listening cause she lacks consistency
Agreed I don't think she found her sound yet she's talented but I think if she finds her sound and take it seriously the fans will support her as hard as they do Beyonce
Kylie is nothing by a glorified baby mama. NEXT story. I wish nothing but success for Normani she needs to keep pushing forward and building her brand.
lmaoooooo
Both true. 👍🏼
dearra confirmed the breakup by liking a tweet that said they announced the break up without saying it.
I feel like Tinashe persistent will be rewarded soon. Sis goes hard! Also, I agree with what you said… Normani need to step out the box, utilise her social media to gain more attention. Hopefully her contract allows her to use her socials as she sees fit
Yes, Tinashe’s latest album is 🔥 I can’t stop listening to it. Her true talent cannot be denied!
I totally agree with you. The respect Tinashe has gotten the past two years are well deserved. She’s one of the most versatile artists I know. Only she (and maybe a few others) can give me an album with a beautiful ballad, a hip hop banger and an R&B bop. Normani is very talented as well and she has much potential, I just feel like her label is really sabotaging her at this point 🥀
The fans cling more to De’Arra than Ken, so I can honestly say that their separation will have a stronger effect on him. It kind of sucks because I have been following them for a while and I enjoy their content, but it is what it is.
Normani needs to realize that it doesn’t matter how many promises your team makes doesn’t matter how hard they “try” if they never succeed. That’s the problem with black artists. We feel a sense of loyalty to a label that is not loyal to you. A label they will drop you and replace you and not think twice. She needs to worry about herself. There’s nothing wrong with being selfish when it comes to your music and your brand. They had their chance with waves, then motivation, now wild side. Normani RCA has has their chance. It’s time to move on to bigger and better because RCA is not cutting it. They obv don’t know what to do with black women.Normani should’ve already had pre recorded performances. Normani has something that can easily make her in to a mega star. She has the black community behind her but her label does not acknowledge that. Use that. Capitalize on that. The fact that we want her to win. I know it may seem like looking out for the white vote is smarter but we proved in the recent election and in the 2018 election that when the black community comes out and support we shut it down. Normani you need a black team. People who get you not only as an artist but as a person. The roll out was messy with the drama and not to mention WHERE IS THE PROMOTION? PROMOTION WHERE? Where are the endorsements? I should see Normani with revlon or a good black makeup brand. She should be the face of a dance app. Or a guest judge on a dance or singing show. Come on. Where is the effort from RCA because other than dropping a song with a video, I don’t see it.
I only subscribed to Ds Ken fucked up!
@@amaraamour7421 me too
Oh well he will learn and humble himself , like he thought he was the shit or something. Through her , he got fame and made tons of money.
What if it has a stronger affect on her and he finally can live his life happily and in private? Y'all are too judgemental and shady and need to spiritually grow and heal, y'all talk too much shit man.
I'm excited about De'arra's channel. I watched their channels because of her personality and style. Always felt like she carried the channel. I'm looking forward to her flourishing on her own.
Agreed! I only watched for De’arra. Ken was annoying. Especially when it came trying new things/foods etc. he’d just stand oddly by with a disapproving look & ask questions instead of trying it for himself.
Empressive the thing I love ❤️ about you is your a real supporter of the culture. You dropped some major career advice in this video for Normani. The ideas you gave are very good and would probably work. I appreciate how you inform and support the community. You educate and document our history. Thank you for your commitment and dedication.
Honestly Normani could’ve performed her song by now on her own. Come on girl…get it together. That’s literally all she needs to do…people that enjoy talent will rock with her regardless
I really love how you showcased all of Normani’s dance moves. Girl can dance her butt off! I didn’t even know she performed on dancing with the stars and that’s a shame that people haven’t always been talking about her big time!
Because she’s boring with no personality.

It’s like y’all basically want people to support Normani just cus she’s dark skinned.. when Normani is basic and mediocre herself.. there’s a few live performances of her vocally sounding bad and dancing mad and looking out of place and just standing on stage laughing. Plus she doesn’t have a aura or quality about her that screams she’s a star.. she looks like any random beautiful black girl 🤷🏽♂️ When you see or hear the likes of Aaliyah, Rihanna, Beyoncé etc.. you stop and look because they have a aura and unique sound and style that you know is there’s… Normani doesn’t have that and y’all are highly over hyping her up when we don’t even have a album or anything to go off of to even wanna support her.. plus we don’t even know her.

Normani needs to take notes from Chloe Bailey....
This girl didn’t have the head start that Nornani did, yet is always trending, because she puts in the work, with or without a team, using social media.

People like personality and I haven’t seen hers.
Exactly Normani doesn’t do anything and expects everything
Factssss them Bailey sisters started from the bottom and worked they way up and never gave up on their craft.label or not it wouldn’t hurt your fans to put out a cover/remix.Use social media for what it is.Chloe Bailey light would never dim for the simple fact she’s always working and projecting her craft.

Irresponsible children trying to be adults basically. They think money and having a team will solve the problem.
The Kardash/Jenner mindset when it comes to the "one baby daddy" policy is foolishness. If the parents don't like each other, don't respect each other or themselves, it WILL affect their parenting (or lack of). All those kids, they may be super young but kids in general are VERY perceptive. They may end up even closer to one another as siblings than the parents they share.
I would love for Normani to get in contact with Dawn Richard. That woman is a treasure trove. So much to learn from and admire.

@@Burnedtongue How about agreeing with the one HUSBAND thing instead of "baby daddy thing".

Unpopular Opinion: we gotta stop coddling Normani. We're all praising her for the POTENTIAL that could be instead of actual tangibles she's bringing to the table. No album, two OK singles, barely promotes her songs, barely any live performances, hella long hiatuses (she performed Motivation literally like twice lmao). Like her and her team have dropped the ball astronomically. Yes she is an AMAZING dancer, one of the best I've seen but she's still to early in her career for us to be acting like she deserves a prime time spot at the VMAs just cuz. I haven't even seen her perform that song one time live, like not even on Jimmy Kimmel, GMA, club appearances or anything. Work on building an actual catalog of music first and an actual identity and resume as an independent artist would be a better strategy...

I must agree. Good point
Normani only took a break because her mom had cancer. She was there for her mom’s treatments and supporting her. She put her family first which is what one should do. Also, her song got pulled from Apple Music and some other streaming platforms due to samples from Aaliyah’s song. Same reason why she was booked to perform on Jimmy Kimmel but was pulled at the last minute. She has had to face a lot of adversity but she will definitely continue to overcome and grow as an artist because she has God given talent and she does work hard. Her career is going to flourish, just watch.
I pray for Normani's mental health. I feel like they're always trying to sabotage my good sis. It must not be easy for her.
And she has went through hell with this internet from the start
The whole "sabotage" excuse is tired. Normani has had Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, THE Janet Jackson and now Cardi B supporting her. Not to mention the twitter hype that she gets. But the music is just NOT hitting. Her fans keep bringing up Camila Cabello, but when they both performed on the VMA's Camila still managed to get more views on their official channel. That girl is not a mogul or a powerful entity in the bussiness. At this point, Normani's fans are just making excuses as to why she's not on top, despite the MASSIVE opportunities that she's had.
Damn. The truth hurts sometimes. :(
This needed to be said
Thank you killer queen! Loved your response! Sometimes the artist have something, but sometimes that’s not enough. Norman i needs to integrated into another group, because i don’t see her taking the world by storm BY HERSELF!
exactly lmao like who would even go out of their way to sabotage NORMANI. No offense to her but she’s nowhere near the relevancy of her female peers.
She lacks consistency and thats the facts
I was thinking the same thing as you .. she just needs to continue putting out music ..NON STOP! Somethings gonna pop 🔥
Imagine if Chloe and Halle dropped their album then waited for performances to find them. Her team is lazy. So many artists build hype around themselves on their YT
She is not waiting for a performance to find her. You’ve obviously have not been paying attention or else you would know how her scheduled performances would mysteriously be canceled. Her wild side roll out reeks of sabotage
I love how Chloe×Halle's team had them performing in their backyard and producing their own performances week after week and putting them on TH-cam......u can't wait around for an award show...at some point your TEAM has to take things in their own hand.....
ChloeXHalle aren't that successful either unfortunately. The public and these labels only seem to want to push younger black female artist is they are rappers it seems. And a certain type of rapper at that. In my view. CxH, Normani, Tinashae and others should be a bit bigger than they are.
@@a.d.w8385 chloe×halle are fine because they are building an ACTUAL AUDIENCE and not some Flash by night Hype......they may not have the RECORD SALES and #1 songs but they have a SUPPORTIVE LABEL that funds their VIDEOS, PRODUCES their performances and have gotten them on the Grammy stage....and endless opportunities with HULU & DISNEY....and they are allowed to do the music they want even if it's not successful commercially....RCA held back Tinashe creatively and forced her to do music she didn't want.....Normani has social media Hype yet her team is just awful at building a PERFORMANCE CATALOGUE...she drops a song then disappears for long periods with little to no performances....... it's almost 4 weeks since WILD SIDE dropped and not even a single performance....not GMA, KIMMEL, FALLON etc....
@@a.d.w8385 I have to disagree with you there. The girls have had 4 Grammy nominations, Halle is the new Ariel, they’re both on Grownish, and still create and produce their own music. They’re on a completely different level.
Normani is now becoming like Tinashe. Pretty, talented but being pushed back by the industry. Cuz they are a threat to the less talented girls but are willing to be manipulated.
Her songs just don’t seem to connect yet. Her voice is fine but nothing special. Like it takes the right songs to get popping especially when ur voice isn’t crazy.
Not popping to YOU soo many have been rinsing Wild Side
Tinashe is way more talented than Normani
@@kilocopter Dude stop coming and hating in all of this comments. We get it you don't like Normani's voice or think it's average, but your missing the point. If Normani was white and could still dance the way she does but have an average voice. She most definitely would be booked for the Vmas. It's always harder for black women and yes race does play a matter in this it always does.
@@laurenj6802 u think every white singer makes it ? No they don’t o know it’s a advantage but normsni songs just aren’t that strong that’s the problem. She used a Aaliyah sample for a ok song so…… She seems like a artists that people want to pop but just isn’t like Tinashe, Rita Ora in America, tink, etc…
It’s funny how no one calls the KarJenners ghetto baby mamas but every single one of them have had kids out of wedlock including Rob.
Exactly ! They would have been dragged if they were black women.

Unpopular opinion : Normani is overrated by the fanbase, but underrated by the industry
Underrated comment
Normani is AMAAAAAAZING she's gonna be alright I'm definitely rooting for her and the Bailey sisters.
In this industry it's not just about talent, Normani needs to keep putting herself out there. Go parties, do lots of interviews and show your personality. Yes we know that you're talented but there needs to be more. Go date a celebrity, this is what people do to keep the hype. You're so low key and quiet like beyonce and that wont work. You're still fairly new.
Agreed at the same time tho I feel like it’s important to still stay true to yourself and your craft. Chloe and Halle are very underrated but there slowly becoming bigger and bigger and that’s because there staying true to there original R&B sounds. Even if they aren’t the most popular, I do think they will be soon. Beyoncé even told them let people catch up to your music, don’t follow the trends basically. I do agree with you tho that Normani needs to promote herself more. She’s very new and has only two songs that have moderate success. She’s needs to put more songs out there.
@@jacobdecker2564 factssss! Chloe and Bailey be working even when theyre not working.Chloe doing covers and showing off her range.Showing her producer skills also and Halle literally acting for damn near a year but also still having time for her fans and feeding them.them sisters work very hard and deserve that stardom.Normani got to work even when she’s not working.put out covers and remixes.do a live and engage with your fans just to keep them updated.She got to put herself out there more.Fk the label because you can still do all those things I mentioned without a label.
We have to realize Mani comes from a group that was branded by MTV for pop stars! She really needs to go southern with revamping her music! Her team needs to get her to every southern state and promote her! She needs to build a social media presence! She’s beautiful and talented! She’s a walking LLC!
Normani needs Rihanna's or Beyonce's team! Yes she needs to utilize social media!Do a live performance on TH-cam. This is how doja cat revived her career.
@@staceydublin3841 what a joke this comment is. I love Normani too much to go into how silly this statement is.
Beyonce built her team, it wasn't handed to her. Picking her dancers, selecting the crew, starting her own company to produce, etc. Rihanna had a rough go of things with management and some people around her as well. Team is very important but you need drive and ruthlessness to pick the right people and push yourself.
Also doja cat out herself in the spotlight with the Moo thing. Her team thought it was silly. And then she was constantly on social media, especially insta lives. There's clearly been a great budget and promotion thrown behind her but that came after she really pushed herself into the limelight
@@ad2094 yeah I dont think normani has the passion or drive. I can see it in her eyes.
The music industry is trash to me. Being an independent artist is one of the best things a talented and gifted artist could ever do. Being able to stand on your own and say you rose to the top is very rewarding. So I say eff these labels and all. She has what it takes, and as long as she has the support of her fans , that's all she needs to continue rising to the top. PERIOD.
I love how u show love to Normani! She's very talented & purposely overlooked bcuz her talent is raw and REAL. She can & will do great things, as long as she believes she's as great as she is. She's a fresh urban entertainer, in every aspect of it.
Loved Tinashe's response! Focus on what you CAN do and keep it pushing!
To be honest... should Normani perform? She'd kill it, that's no doubt. But there are artist with more consitent projects and practice engaging their fans and the general public who it takes YEARS to get to perform. She already got that opportunity to head straight to the VMAs with motivation: thats pretty much a one shot deal. I agree, she should put on her own shows in the meantime. She'll have her chance in no time if she does.🤎
🎯 Normani isn't consistent
I 100 percent agree with you! Normani needs to be a bit more consistent and take initiative to interact with her fans and set up stuff for herself. If she keeps disappearing for months and relying on her team instead of herself it will end in chaos. She's so talented it would be sad if she never got her chance to shine.
@Anne Day Actually, still no imo. Having a great pop song after breaking out of 5H, having hits with Khalid and Sam Smith, and disappearing for two years to come back with a song that only charted in the teens for a week, then drops dramatically? That's not a good look. Even with the obvious problems with streaming services, business people in the industry still don't see that as a reason for it to have not bounced back after. Sadly, if anything, she's proven from a broadcasting/business standpoint that she is only for a niche audience. I don't think that's fully reflective of what she wants to do with her career, but her having that haitus and a complete rnb comeback song is going to make her have to work a little harder to prove herself. That's the industry, sadly.
@@hilo6487 the song is definitely bouncing back tho. It fell to 100 on Apple Music and is back in the top 50 now. Also it’s rising on billboard as well. The song only debut so high because of fans mass buying its first week.
@@hilo6487 DID YOU FORGET THE WHOLE WORLD WAS ON LOCKDOWN FOR A YEAR?!
Normani is SO TALENTED and YET Her Label doesn't give her the Support that they give these MEDIOCRE ARTISTS.
They not pushing her cus she a darkskin girl she not that popping like these other artists apparently🤷🏾♂️
Right! Look at Saweetie!!! She’s getting more exposure than Normani
@Trans-Girl 👀 Ari, From Los Angeles “THE LIES THE LIES”
She’s a great dancer an OK singer however I don’t know about being a great performer tho ??? she can dance her butt off but doing another dance # is played out already . What I honestly think is hindering her career is her is trying to step over everybody and labeling herself better than everybody.
@@LuhKayte this has nothing to do with her shade color, Tinashe is very lightskin and yet she got the same treatment
For one in your T-Pain documentary T-Pain already said, “That RCA doesn’t care about their urban artists.” Even though Normani is CLEARLY a pop/r &b girl, RCA more than likely looks at her as a r&b girl because she’s black. I PERSONALLY think that she should have kept the steam rolling when she came out with “Motivation” and kept with that new generation Beyoncé, majorette, classy, pretty, prissy home girl from the hood image and vibe that she gives. That’s what the whole motivation video represented to me a new leading young black woman in music for this younger generation who is like a majorette street dancer, classy, pretty, prissy, but got that home girl from the hood vibe, like Beyoncé was for her generation and like Janet Jackson was for her generation. To me that is what Normani is in a nutshell to me and that SHOULD be her brand. EMBODYING what every young black woman is in this generation. But I think the problem may have been Normani probably didn’t even know what she wanted her brand to be or what her sound would be. But I DEFINITELY think she should’ve kept with a pop/r&b sound. Pop enough to be bubble gummy and catchy but r&b enough to give listeners that soul and feeling behind it to groove and move
I’m not about to keep blaming everybody else, I spent so much time saying it was her team, “people were holding her back” whatever, it’s Normani she doesn’t even make herself a presence on social media really, there are so many things she can do and then she took that long break just to drop one song, girl why didn’t you have more singles lined up.
Normai gets the hype Tinashe deserves, that woman wants it and independently releases fire music and videos. I hope she gets more shine.
She literally never misses. She’s a true artist and I love Tinashe
They both can succeed doesn’t need to a competition

Normani is so talented. I wanna see my good sis win! Let's continue to support her and other artists!
I don’t understand why EVERYBODY is jumping on that pitty wagon when it comes to Normani ! Yes she’s talented and I looove that at first the whole black community supported her, rightfully so, cause let’s be honest, we neeeeeeed more dark skinned pop stars. But the music she have been putting out is just not great ! There is always a piece missing, she is a new artist and goes MIA for years! Come on even big artist are afraid to do that !
Her whole career is poorly managed !

@@rodlyalcide2372 I feel like it’s a good record but not a single !

The cardi feature backfired on Normani, if cardi is not willing or unable to perform it wit her then it loses its marketability. Fire the whole team. She needs whoever is working for Doja cat cause she’s been putting out great performances. RCA should be ashamed
Strangely enough, doja IS signed under rca 😬 clearly they see her as a priority and is putting all the resources into her - Normani’s “team” rely too much on the stans doing all the work and have no follow through once the songs come out 🤦♀️
@@aimstar11 I like doja a lot I don't feel like Normani understands talent isn't enough she needs to develop a brand and a sound. Til then she needs to push and grind everywhere. Seems like she thinks that she can do minimum effort cause she was in fifth harmony but she needs to earn her solo reputation and audience through consistency.
@@aimstar11 gtfoh!!! Are you serious?! Wow. Just wow
I agree but I must say Doja is making RCA bank since 2020 when she finally broke into mainstream audience. Then RCA started paying her attention
Cardi would but she is in her 3rd trimester right now
Both Tinashe and Normani are two extremely extraordinary multi talented melanated power houses! BET needs to have both of these women back for the culture, because they can bring some much in so many ways to the culture! #We Need These Two For The Culture! I love how Tinashe used her voice to speak up for Normani and herself as well. Talk about Black Girl Magic!
Totally agree with you! I’m just so mad at Normani’s label because I know she wants to release her music ASAP but her label keeps sabotaging her.
So Normani makes one song and now she deserves centre stage at the VMAs ? Nah there’s too many talented artists out here dropping multiple projects and don’t even get a whiff at the VMAs . she needs to keep on grinding imo 🤷🏾♀️
I agree 💯💯💯, I feel Normani needs to put in more work and needs to work on promoting herself more!!

Empressive is too emotional... Normani needs to work on her vocals she is not great live and work on her stage presence
I 100% agree.
@@973shero9 I agree with you. She has a lot of potential but she definitely needs to work on her vocals.
I think EMP is right, Normani has to become VERY creative about her performances. Using youtube, and other platforms to push her career.

This is why I love 🤩TiNashe and i will be enjoying her 333 tour this fall. Normani will be fine. It’s time just to think outside the box.
Normani is still a new artist! She doesn't have an authentic fanbase. People are putting her in this high caliber, but she doesn't put in the work.
This pedestal is keeping her from being great! She doesn't interact with her fans, she barely promotes her music, or markets herself. She has to start from the bottom just like all other successful artists. She CANNOT expect to be on a big stage without performing in smaller stages first. She has to work and earn it!

That’s right tinashe!! We don’t claim that negative energy !! When she said that it really spoke to me
Wild Side is a good starting song now shes needs to drop a solo track n show us some individuality
I love Tinashe that's my Aquarius sister in my head. Love a woman who can stand alone and doesn't bow down to anyone.
Listen I could be wrong here: I'm starting to see a pattern with Normani, yes I love her and also would like to see her win but its starting to look like she lives off recieving sympathy from others.
She needs to wake up and create her own identity and channels of expression, after some time the stories are going to get old. I mean it's always a new story (the label, sabotage, not being included, camilla taking her bag, paying her own video, black balled, needing to be lifted or saved etc.) My point is we all know the odds are against her she needs to grab things and stop playing a weak game. Take it by the horns baby you will win
Edit: I'm speaking from experience here I've had similar experiences in my life too
Completely agree
Nothing but facts
Exactly
“She’s like her sisters,
She wants to be a baby mama to one man,
Even if he cheats on her and doesn’t claim her all the time.” Well damn lol
She needs to have a hit on Billboard 100! I can’t wait for the day she gets to #1! Things will change after that! Wait and see!
Can we stop babying Normani at this point and hold her accountable? In the age of social media she can literally show up and show out for her fans on her own accord. If she's constantly waiting on other people to get shit done FOR her she's gonna forever be disappointed. Also she needs to stop letting Cardi talk to her and treat her like a charity case 🙄
Not a charity case 😭
Exactly, she should start being more active with her fans via social media ex. lives, giveaways etc. Its very obvious her label is trash but that doesn't mean she can't take control of her platform or image. Unless they're also controlling that.
She needs better management and a new team for real
fr this girl ain't that special. too many girls on the streets can sing and dance and some are even better than her. if she not doing it for herself, her label or her team or anyone can't help her
Agreed, I feel like we coddle Normani but her and her team have dropped the ball significantly. Like she hasn't even dropped an album. She's barely done ANY live performances or promotion for her song. It was a mild hit and then dropped like 50 slots on the Billboards a week later. She is an AMAZING dancer yes but as an overall artist, it's WAY too early to be capping her head up the way everyone does.
I'm not sure why y'all keep screaming "sabotage" about Normani. she's a good visual and dancer, but she just doesn't have that "IT" factor. there's nothing unique about her. she isn't Beyonce, so I don't understand the fake shock. she barely puts out music and her vocals aren't that powerful. she reminds me of tinashe. talented, but just not IT.
The differents between normani & tinashe. .. tinashe is constantly writing her own music putting out good music & rising above .., her new album is definitely a staple a r&b . But normani wants the beyonce treatment but doesn’t have a catalog she doesn’t have a hit yet …. But expects the big stage? Doesn’t even promote her music daytime shows or morning shows … normani is focused on mainstream success while tinashe is actually giving us quality innovate new music .
They letting CC perform her new song that was a complete flop. I bet CC said she wouldn’t preform if they let Normani preform. Normani makes CC look talentless.
Karma for normani...and can u have a second to consider not dragging cc s name whenever normani is mentioned..its gettin old yalll
I think its mainly Camilla label...moreso than Camilla herself. IJS
Its cause Camilla is pushed through the industry. She has the "look". Her being Latin is also why she was pushed through the industry because Latin music is what's being pushed
Camila is more established that's why, she has huge hits already and Normani hasn't reached that

Camila is booked even though her song debuted lower on billboard. Normani’s song debuted higher than hers and is performing better on the charts. I love Camila’s music it’s just an observation 🥴 Normani’s set could coincide with Lizzo’s since they both have a Cardi feature. But your right it’s their loss if they don’t have her. Normani should drop alternate versions of the song to promote it (acapella, acoustic & Instrumental) 🤗
I mean it’s not their loss . Even if Camilla charted lower . Camilla still has a huge fan base & has multiple platinum records as a solo artist . Normani doesn’t even have half of Camilla success .. but normani expects the beyonce treatment .. nahh
I love Normani, but the difference between her and Camila is that Camila is now a household name. With awards shows, it is barely about the charts, but more of the artist itself.
She still making name for herself.

Of course they wouldn’t let Normani preform, she is a black female artist, and these awards (Vma’s and Scammy’s) and all do tend to discredit these types of artists, doja cat was also Snubbed for the Vma’s. They don’t want a powerful black woman to preform.
Thats a pattern here. Normani, Tinashe, Chloe × halle, Brandi, etc. They snub black female artists who push raw talent
Normani must do virtual performances like Chloe and Halle
I love how you strongly pronounce "baby daddy" and "baby mamas"... I keel everytime you said it 🤣🤣🤣
Here’s my take. Normani is a very talented “artist”. I say artist because while she can dance her ass of, she has not truly showcased her vocal ability and she has yet to do anything that makes her stand out from the bunch as far as her music goes. This new song is nice but if it had not been for the visual, people wouldn’t have paid it no mind other than the fact that it samples Aaliyah’s “One in a Million”. Her team is truly her downfall and I’m sure they thought putting Cardi on the song would do something and it truly didn’t elevate the song in any way shape or form. It’s truly sad because out of the fifth harmony girls Normani had so much more potential to be something. Also it needs to be discussed how she has been a solo artist since around 2018 and has yet to release a full project. Even her single releases are at least 5-6 months apart from each other. On top of that, she has yet to prove that she can deliver a song without the help of a featured guest. By no means am I being shady but these are just obvious observations that can be made with how her career has panned out.
I guess if your being black balled it would be hard to show your true capabilities without being rejected or them trying to change your image good luck baby girl we see you & your skills.
You're not being shady, you're being realist. Normani needs to be allowed to release an album already and showcase her vocals and experiment with genres.

Also, how do we expect Normani to be big, when this girl has 3 songs? She has motivation which was fun, she had love lies with Khalid, both a long time ago, she featured with Sam Smith but the song was kinda meh. And now Wild Side sounds like every single r&b track, is slow and after a few memes I can't listen to the tututu. She could do so much more! She is a dancer, dance on tik tok and show these Charlie Cameltoes what a dancer mooves like! She does have money and a perfect body, she could be a fashion icon on Instagram! She could be putting performances on yt, dances on yt and FOR ONCE maybe show her personality. This girl has zero! personality!

I have to agree. I truly adore and am rooting for Normani however, she is not putting out enough content at all! To think Wild Side and Motivation are 2 years apart?!?! How can she succeed when we barely hear from her? She may need to take her career into her own hands and self promote to what degree she's allowed unless she bound by other entities.
I agree. Wild side was not as unique as I hope and she hasn’t been putting out content. However we never know what’s going on behind the scene. Maybe she can’t drop more music
Honestly I think she needs to pair with writers to find her sound, her rhythm, her style. I think her music is OK.
normani has a fantasy that was given to her by her fans that she’s the next big artist and just believes she should have everything, when it don’t work like that.
Yeap! Tweeting “Culture reset” after releasing one mediocre song? Sit down
@@okay18ful also she expects media attention and to be asked to perform when she was gone for almost 2 years, wild side was meh and it flopped too
I agree. Go do the work, go engage with your fans, create new fans. If she were to do a concert I don't think she has 45 minutes of material in her. Keep working and you'll get there. We can't baby her in this journey.
Exactly !!!!!
