Same thoughts. Doesn't work at all on mobile light mode. We really just need the original colored tags back.. maybe with some minor tweaks. That aspect of the old format was fine and worked well.

This one is minor but the notification badge would look better if green and completely rounded again. There should be more variation across the site (at least on mobile) instead of every single element having the same border-radius. Same with all of the tags and buttons being red now. This might be getting fixed already, but I agree with others about the spacing. There's a lot of unneeded gaps everywhere. And "ATRL member" on every reply is also unneeded. In popular threads, I think the time could go away next to the weekday ("Saturday at 5:30 PM") and be replaced with the section like how it used to be ("Saturday in Celebria") and leave the colored tags/pills. And then just include the exact time in the post under their username. This would make everything more condensed and clean imo. For todays topics, the current format should remain to differentiate it a bit from popular threads, but maybe have a colored border around the section to indicate the tag. When hovering over it (or held down on mobile) it gets filled with the color and shows the tag name. The path bar would be more effective above the footer as well like how it used to be I think. I would always use it to go back to home. But there def needs to be a home button that replaces unread content. Unread should go in menu or the account page. Thank you guys! Loving everything else.

def need it back.. super convenient

Normani eliminated in 3rd place, Ally eliminated in 3rd place, Lauren eliminated in 3rd week

Love Lies! One of my fav songs. Needed a better music vid but at least she gave us that insane bbma performance that had everyone shook

That bass kicking in during the first chorus has always been an eargasm for me. I've always liked the song, but agree with others that it needed some production changes and was the wrong choice for the lead. If Lonely Night had some changes as well and was pushed as a single, I think it would've taken off.

They're apart of the 5H partnership and they own the brand. It was transferred to them through a lawsuit.

She can't perform 5H songs legally.

It's perplexing, it's pretty much the same arrangement they had back in 2017/2018. But they were touring non-stop back then with lack of rehearsals so things weren't polished. I agree that at least one needs to be adlibbing. Dinah and Ally are definitely capable of replicating or putting their own spin on the runs in the final chorus. And Normani can sing in whistle register, there's just so much that can be added.

Part of me wants a reunion and part of me doesn't. If they do it, it needs to be the four of them and they have to be revamped like no other. Hopefully it'd be a cute one time thing for the fans.. build anticipation, create some noise, kill some performances, and then let it be. I really hope we can get a documentary in the future of them explaining their past. They went through so much and had to keep quiet about a lot.

Yes. Despite all the business fails and mishaps, I truly believe the stars will eventually align for her. She'll bounce back with more perseverance and less personal/family circumstances. I don't think we'll ever get a strong online presence from her though unless a social media manager makes that happen. I do think she could have been more transparent with her supporters about the delays, but it probably came down to not wanting to burn bridges and start drama so she avoided everything altogether. I hope we can eventually see her truly speak her mind and talk openly without all the media training, but she's a professional girly who likes to guard herself which you can't fault her for. Especially with the unique journey she's had in the game. The constant announcements with no follow up on her end is what ultimately frustrated the fans though. Let's hope going forward she and the team stays silent until something is 100% releasing. At the end of the day, the music is what matters. Part of me believes it's a good thing that the rollout for Dopamine lacked a lot of stuff, and therefore only the music could be the sole focus. With that said, people are ready to see Normani perform again. And once we get more content and more music, the narratives around her will shift.

This can't be real…. Everything is seriously so frustrating. I feel so bad for her and to everyone who has been a longtime fan. Sigh….

This. Like why

I agree that there should at least be a promo single right before the album, but Candy Paint needs its moment for a second. I don't think many have actually heard the whole song in full length aside from the hardcore fans on Twitter. And apparently the final version has new elements to it.
