did people leave before her set? it looked like it was a lot of people in the crowd for busta rhymes (especially in front of gate).

yes! it was a lot of random men there for busta & the second set but they cleared out immediately. besides that, it was 20-25 us who were nation and another 15-20 who were randoms that knew of her prob casually

What type of venue was it? Seeing my fave in a crowd that small and intimate would be a dream come true tbh

hopefully they'll stay today since she's the first (and only?) performer!

The whiplash of teasing this thread and going from she's rehearsing to she's not performing…wow.

I FULLY believe the stage fright brought on by attendee turnout rumors. I think the vitality of her asking dead crowds to sing Love Lies and Motivation really got to her.

5pm pt time tonight.

just a rly spacious parking lot they emptied and put a few vendors / bathroom trailers and such. a lot of us were VERY excited to see her at a small show like that and well….

Normani Nation…control your reactions.

We can rant if the performance gets cancelled or is a chop later tonight.

Right now we need to have a bit of faith this is just an unfortunate and nasty incident and not a curse or sabotage.

hold the line!

I fully get it. We just have to show some restraint and class.

This could actually be the beginning of new content finally and not the end. Then we'll look dumb for the meltdowns in a couple weeks.

I never have and never will believe the stage fright rumors. She performed at those Spotify events back in 2024. She was in the lineup for that Empowher festival thing that ended up being a scam. She performed with 5H at one of the Jonas Brothers concerts. This literally contradicts her having stage fright.

I don't buy her being bothered by the crowd size. Small stages is the only thing she is booking, so she should be used to the crowds not being that huge. Didn't she perform Motivation at some magazine party she was on the cover for? Didn't she perform at a private event back in 2021? Guarantee those crowds weren't that big.

Be upset with the cancellation but these two theories makes no sense

Some of her "fans" have to do better. Normani did her album release party in LA for free and there were hundreds of people there. It's not like people wouldn't come out for a free show but even if there was a small crowd there for her yesterday.... there's nothing to suggest that was the reason her show was pushed back. It could have been anything but people are believing fanfiction.

omg y'all it's packed tonight!

Also nobody should shade a free show too.

Other new girls been doing free shows like Tate. It builds buzz!

Normani brought out Khalid to perform and Jordan Chiles came out to present a plaque to her for Love Lies.

Everyone was putting love on Normani. This is such a good moment!!! She needs to realize popping out and eating = more love. The hate will fade

Wish it was longer and more Dopamine songs, but the show was good

Yeah my only complaint was it was short but she seems super confident again. Lydia babes, book Normani a tour or opening act for a big artist.

She needs to get back in the artist mode completely. Normani feeds off audiences and it makes her work even better. Tours = viral clips and those clips can help build her social media buzz again.

Someone who was there has some great videos of the performance

The All Yours Dance Break ate. Look how she makes an R&B song feel like a big pop song. EVERYTHING she does is full out.

I loved that she did a lot of choreography. We don't have another girl like this except Tate McRae (and maybe Zara but they're 100% bubblegum pop). Like this lane is still open for her if she wants it.

i'm so emotional. that was such a good show despite it being shortened / us not getting more Dopamine (my first time seeing her live btw) after the show she ran into my arms first and got all emotional. i love that girl forever w all my heart

tate is really the only one who can compare to normani dance technique-wise (maybe victoria and adela too?), WHICH IS WHY THEY SHOULD COLLAB!!!

I had already mentally prepared myself for today that she would not perform. Thank God I was wrong!! All Yours performance ate downnnnn

Edit: Just realised she didn't perform Candy Paint, was it cut from the already short-ass setlist? I was looking forward to see if she changed the choreography :(

Edited February 16Feb 16 by Baboonaboo

it's giving cookout talent show. still glad to see her performing again

Ok my last post was a joke btw. Didn't think I need to say that being that this is ATRL but then again this is ATRL. I might be a bit disgruntled but never a fake fan. Y'all forget that these cancellations have been a common theme throughout this decade and the whole lack of rollout for Dopamine with zero to no explanations never helped. If fans are a little apprehensive towards her like they've been as of late, that's literally on her and her team for that disconnection.

Now personally I'm happy she did indeed get on the stage but what's next? Her public image is tainted with claims of laziness and having no desire for a music career. So what are they going to do change that? She's got to do more I fear.

Does anybody know how those Spotify billion stream club plaques work? Does the label purchase it?
