    She is criminally underrated and it pisses me off how she’s not a bigger artist. I want her to have a blow up as big as Doja Cat, Meg, and Chloe x Halle. She sings, dances, gorgeous looks, and has amazing personality. The full package that the industry won't let her deliver!!

      Honestly tho, she may have a great personality but as a fan I really don’t see it. I know she can sing, dance, she has the talent but she doesn’t connect with her audience. Of course we never truly know these stars but she has to start marketing herself…
      Edit: “start” to “stars”

    • @lovenspired

      I definitely agree she needs to work on marketing herself and getting out there in the public more (i.e. social media) bc that's a huge part of building fan engagement these days. Meg, Chloe x Halle, Doja Cat grew huge fan bases so quickly and loyally in part of the effort they put into personal live streams and social media antics. Doja Cat was a live streaming queen and look how far it's taken her. I want Normani to have a big win and I hope she realizes that she can/needs to give her fans more than just music to root for and we'll support it. @@coquigirl0789

    The best performance of the night, with only a transparent box as a prop. Normani is beyond captivating on stage, it’s obvious that she puts a lot of thought into EVERYTHING that she does. Nothing about this performance was boring, people are just used to be distracted by other nonsense. They don’t know when a true performer is on stage, if there aren’t flashing lights, props, and upbeat music. Mani and those amazing dancers filled the stage with crisp movements. I didn’t breathe or blink until the performance was over. Every time I see her perform, my eyes never leave the screen.
    Her whole demeanor changes when she’s on stage. That’s how you know she’s a natural performer, always poised and classy with a dash of sexy. I’ve seen her perform live twice and her mic was always ON.

      @@BlaQSheep why is she trying to be somthing she’s not ? if you are comparing it to when her and her sister was together that’s ridiculous lol same way as destiny’s child was clean cut then when Beyoncé went of on her own she just exploded . Ever since I saw Chloe and Halle I could always see there was a fire burning deep inside Chloe. Like she had this flithy sassy diva waiting to bust out . The way she use to look into the camera like she was having sex lol I think truely think this is her and is about to elevate like nobody’s bussiness 🙏🏻

    The part with her and Teyana isn’t that bad as everybody was making it seem like, the performance overall it was actually very great. The choreography was on point along with her vocals.
