Pink Matter Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Not sure what the commotion is about. For someone who has sparingly released music for the past ~3 years and has had very little activity on social media, this isn't bad. She really doesn't have that much of a fanbase currently to net a huge debut, and just because it features Cardi, it doesn't mean it's going to be an instant hit. Only time will tell if this ends up becoming a hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveisdead9582 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 She lost her momentum when she took forever and a day to do any sort of noteworthy release. If it hadn’t been for atrl, I probably wouldn’t have known that she was releasing. It’s like when Motivation underperformed they just stopped caring.

SeeingStars1515 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Why all the hate for Normani? She's a talented performer - her dancing and presence exceed her peers, she's doing her thing - yall should be rooting for her. it's not like she's an offensive act.

LanaXtinaFan Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The amount of times this girl has tried to make it by now is so embarrassing. It’s not going to happen. Loooool. Just give it up sweetie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Her team sucks. After 3 years they couldn’t at least put her #1 on TTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wish Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 This could easily still be a nice moderate hit but unfortunately RCA sucks so who knows how much they'll actually invest into the single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is her fans and Twitter overrate and praise her as this one in a generation type artist, which ultimately ends up backfiring on her when the numbers aren't good. All that praising and the defensiveness she's shown at times give of an image of arrogance that is offputting (tho it's probably insecurity from all the expectations she has to carry on). I don't know why people keep saying she "deserves" or that she's "excellence", she's got a very weak and unremarkable voice (albeit an excellent dancer), which as it happens with many other acts would be completely overlooked if the material was popping, but is not. To be fair, it's not her fault, social media has put such expectations and pressure on this girl to be the "next big thing" which (imo) it's definitely doing her more wrong than good. I don't know if even herself has bought her own hype, which I don't think so, but her fans and their attitude just screams entitlement for some reason, which people don't like.

Alaska. Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The main problem with Normani is that she has little artistic vision. Janet doesn't have the strongest voice either but she always knew what she wanted to do next. Her label wanted a sequel to Control after its success but Janet wanted to to address social issues and with a more industrial sound, Rhythm Nation was an even bigger era. Normani doesn't even know what to do for her debut so I don't see how the hell she will have longevity in the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnoughSaid Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 If she actually works the single like a true artist breaking with radio tours, actual performances I think the song will perform well. But I think her team will understand now none of that going silent **** anymore, you keep pushing and releasing that album. Get the recognition for releasing a good project and tour, it’s go time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slw84 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Well, the song gets better each listen but it looks like it's going to have to do well overtime for it to connect and stablize. I do think this is enough to put Normani back in the spotlight and really keep pushing to become the main pop girl that she is meant to be.

She's been hyping her debut for like 3 years now there's no need to play that game but she definitely became more successful after the success of Thriller allowed her and others to get access to top producers and her artistic talent is why she did well but let's not oversell it when she was still behind many prominent female stars. It's also repulsive to use Normani's age against her as if that is a bad thing. Normani looks to be defining herself so the question is will the GP eventually buy in.

I'm not surprised I remember when that poster posted that they became ill when Up went #1. I was shocked because this is an entertainment forum. that post said alot. Wildside is a good song...it doesn't seem to be an instant hit but this is getting good reviews in terms of quality and could build into a hit long term. and I wouldn't allow myself to feel ill about it not being an instant hit either. I think it'll finish quite well. 57 minutes ago, EnoughSaid said: If she actually works the single like a true artist breaking with radio tours, actual performances I think the song will perform well.

Because the media spent YEARS (most likely paid by her team) telling people they need to love her and that she’s already legendary and the new Beyoncé before she did anything to warrant that kind of praise. and then Motivation happened and those terrible live performances where it was clear she didn’t care about actual promotion.
