itsmee Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I'm actually a bit baffled by this girl career trajectory I cant think of any artist who got as much push as she did She was literally being hyped by everyone and their moms, having features with massive artists, opening for Ariana Grande, working with the best of the best in the industry , having high-profile cameos how does one fumble all of this so badly maybe her being as big as Beyonce was too much to ask but she can't even reach bubbling under How? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildsidenormani Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Hasn't this conversation already been had? 1:59 was a snoozefest and the wrong single choice. She refused to listen to what us few remaining fans were asking her for We really don't need to go over all this again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBax Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 She released a non-single worthy track as her lead. The song's no terrible, but it just didn't make sense to release it as the lead... She's coming out with Candy Paint, which ultimately should've been the lead. She needs a better team that knows how to manage her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menchies Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I think its cause she has barely released music since she debuted (which I can't blame her for) which has subsequently made her a meme because of how she rarely releases & it led to all of her hype dying down cause of no one being able to take her seriously and eventually not even being able to reach bubbling under ORRR Ppl just don't like 1:59, which I can't blame cause 1:59 isn't that good and she can bounce back with her next single Candy Paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airplane Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 She's pretentious asf, not particularly talented and doesn't know what her core audience wants. The snoozefest she released killed the era on arrival 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really log onto this website thinking, "Okay, I'll start a thread," when the answers to your questions are pretty obvious? Who said "1:59" was going to be a smash hit? Fans have stated multiple times that it's an instant-grat track for the album. It serves as an introduction, giving fans and casual listeners insight into the sound and theme she'll be exploring with Dopamine Nobody has ever said she's going to be the next Beyoncé. In fact, most people have been hyping her up for her talent only.; she's an excellent performer and a professional dancer, with multiple awards for her dancing even before her time in 5H. Her vocal range is quite impressive, and her tone is smooth and sultry, making her perfect for both pop and R&B records. Who cares if her instant-grat didn't chart? It's not even a single Given the racial bullying she's faced and both her parents battling cancer, she's not desperate for hits or chasing after commercial success. All she wants to do is release a cohesive body of work that she's proud of, and I know for a fact she will. So, let's wait for the official radio single Candy Paint. I'm sure this website will be tuning in for new Normani as always. At this point, all she needs to do is release the album, and I have faith that it will be well-received by both fans and critics alike. We're not expecting huge numbers. I'm anticipating a solid 20-30k in the first week. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

305 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 She was never going to be a thing, that was just twitter (as usual) overhyping an artist so much that by the time something finally dropped everyone was already bored. It's been 5 years, nobody is looking for Normani in 2024 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue. Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 She never had the talent to fill in the expectation her PR machine and herself created for her, so she ended up falling short (as expected) and becoming a caricature. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANZ94 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 She took herself too seriously that's what happened she truly thought she was that girl and was to good to be promoting her stuff as a new artist you have to be everywhere promoting or at least that's how it was when Motivation was released 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
