The first new r&b singer to under sing on the recordings and serve SZA, then on their performances pop off with the vocals and technique is going to be the biggest modern breakout. People are adhd brain now but the 90s mainstream r&b artist style of not overdoing it on the track then giving iconic live arrangements would fit this era so well!

Mind you I was gatekeeping Rochelle Jordan. This is too much buzz for my queen on a legendary Mariah Carey deep cut.

And now it's sold out. Normani's (and other new added artists') IMPACT!

When Taylor Swift whacks Olivia (again), I don't want to hear any "granny hating on new artists" narratives. It's mutual beef.

The hate for Law Roach is so funny cause y'all continue to make him a bigger figure with the hate. People wouldn't even know him if he was just ignored for being a chop. Reality is, Law and Zendaya are an unstoppable duo and Law has some great looks with other A-listers in the industry outside the Zendaya of it all. Method dressing shouldn't be frowned on when fashion is supposed to be fun. We lost the plot.

M4A is a popular policy when presented with no other info but once nuance is added such as regular household taxes may have to increase for M4A to function, support drops. It's not surprising it's considered radical policy when the US is very conservative the last couple years and anti-tax increases on the middle class. AP NewsPoll: Support for 'Medicare-for-all' fluctuates with detailsWASHINGTON (AP) — Americans like the idea of "Medicare-for-all," but support flips to disapproval if it would result in higher taxes or longer waits for care.

Yup, especially the bold. People used to say this in the 2010s about music but I feel it applies WAY MORE NOW. I never used to completely tap out of mainstream music but now I have a roster of unknown songs and niche artists. I feel so alternative and edgy.

Also Normani may still be in the Sony family (at least internationally) since this post got clearer by their social media manager:

Meli Music aka the Brazil Festival Performance we've been discussing is confirmed!

No shade but Karol G will never truly flop at this rate. Somewhere around covid, it was just determined Bad Bunny and Karol G would lead the pack and everyone else got left behind (J Balvin, Maluma, Peso Pluma, Becky G, Natti, etc).

Lowkey Katy Perry should be releasing songs like that. She needs to get back into the wedding music category with Bruno Mars.

It's getting SCARY. Like there used to be nepobabies in hollywood but not like "oh lets clog up award shows and jingle ball performances with them." There's a shift happening in the music industry. Radio payola is not even needed, they just plop you right into the nomination list with no (faked) accomplishments to back it up.

I guess some song named "Dopamine" was added to this guy's playlist. The guy in question owns or organizes Meli Music festival which is on October 17th, 2026. So maybe Normani is one of the new names announcing tomorrow as @popularmoonlight was stating.

I don't miss him but I do miss the wave Lil Nas X was on with Lizzo, Doja Cat, Megan and I guess Camila Cabello. They were dropping music like crazy, booking every event and trying to really get into that tier Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo are in now. Everyone was fighting for a main spot in the industry. It's sad nobody is working for it anymore so Morgan Wallen and that Ella girl are the "main characters".

Okay so basically I knew this rumor about Normani performing in Brazil for weeks now but I didn't post here because the 2 festivals you're mentioning (which I think we're discussing the same thing), I thought the lineups were set and announced already. Do they typically add more performers way later?
