[@ruthalex19]

Normani and Val are the cutest omg

[@pigletpiglet8751]

ruthalex I can't stand when they say Val's in love with his partner , damn he sure has been in love a lot

[@angel007sherm]

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure my heart squeezed when they told each other 'I love you' in the package. Honestly I'm not sure of a love connection but I truly believe that these two are friends for life. I always knew I liked Normani but now I know I love her!

[@AnonymousMusa]

they have a thing for sure, do you all dont see the video when this two star dancing slowly w/o not music, he was smiling and talkng to her ear?

[@saintrosie1]

slikpont where is this video

[@WhirlyPearly]

Tara Clinkscales Times Square NYC

[@clumsyblumsy9999]

Normani is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

[@user-jb4kn5hr8i]

They could have asked Normani something else... She is way more than just who she is dating or not... her journey goes beyond that but nvm...

[@Poeticlife23]

E all they were interested about was the 362 hours of rehearsal Rashad put in. If they wanna talk about hours they needed to talk about Normani who couldn't even catch a break while she was dancing and on tour at the same time sometimes turned up hours before a dance and still did very well every time. That sounded kinda bias. HE did put in a lot of work but come on WE all know Normani worked the hardest on this show. Smh

[@katherinebraxton8256]

Val has a heart of gold and he's so mannerable. Sweet young man. Great teamwork.

[@boonee94]

normani won I don't care what anyone says she won

[@ceciliem1811]

I know! So right!!

[@antoniagomez6729]

Aww!! Normani and Val are so cute!!

[@angel007sherm]

Fifth Harmony came in third place on the X Factor and five years later you see who the real winners of that season were. Don't sweat third place girl, stay humble. You've got so much more life to conquer and I really think you can Val used this platform to do more than dance, but to really share your story and encourage others. Standing Ovation girl, standing ovation!

[@azizamaalim6390]

Very well said,standing ovation for you

[@Jay4eva]

Best comment about the whole situation I've seen! I 100% agree !!

[@katiedawnmcgregor3665]

angel007sherm

[@lisamitchell5573]

Normani can't go wrong with either guys you go girl get your love on.😘

[@nancyblue3546]

Normani is everything!

[@katiemann4837]

Normani is gorgeous and so sweet!

[@Poeticlife23]

Aww Val cheering Mani up super cute. It was good to see her smile. This friendship gotta last😃and she was glowing as always. She is so pretty and humble. Keep slaying girl!

[@divineaglaia]

I didn't know Normani before this but I started watching after seeing a clip of her argentine tango(one of the best, up there with Nicole Scherzinger's) and I was sure after seeing it she would win. Obviously I was wrong but she won a fan for life, ill even buy some 5h music

[@mikalahedmonds]

divineaglaia fifth harmony been let fit over six years

[@missswagga135]

They gave her that teddy bear as a symbol of "Girl we sorry they did that to you..." here's a voice of Val to soothe you at night...chiiiilllleeee Issa lowkey couple in my eyes. 😩😭

[@kazzityangel]

Exactly!! you got the message too. Because we all know she was the best and that is a fact! even the overall scores proved it.

[@missswagga135]

MsToni_f I was livid 😭 they dude Mani and Val bogus ...Rashad and David can't even be compared in the same breath as far as talent is concerned ..

[@nancyblue3546]

MsToni_f she will be more successful than all those winners combined!!..oh and fuck all the judges except Bruno!

[@Livelovelaughlila]

Val adores Normani T^T the teddy bear is really sweet!

[@vicentecampos5962]

normani is so beautiful.

[@user-ub8mp2jw3m]

NORNANI I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND i'm so proud to say i see her as my role model, she is too kind and humble and deserves the whole world

[@vdw-ox7rb]

U can tell that normani is still hurt but she is taking it with class. Atleast she won her confidence back which is more than the trophy. I really hope she gets alot of opportunties thrown her way since dwts is over because she is much bigger than just being a pop singer in 5th harmony.

[@survivingadulthood3592]

Why Normani doing that to Val, she knows he likes her smh.

[@normanijauregui4062]

normani is breathtaking! and she is so beautiful outside and inside that why i stan her .

[@AnonymousMusa]

Can we talk about Val giving to Normani a bear with his voice?

[@olive34025]

slikpont I know!!! It's the cutest thing!! 😍

[@AnonymousMusa]

and do you see the video where they star dancing?

[@AnonymousMusa]

instagram.com/p/BUfQdfoArDm/?taken-by=mani_powern

[@olive34025]

slikpont OMG no I hadn't seen that!!! God, they're so perfect together... she is so his type too. She's a family girl, he's a family guy. She's an artist, he's an artist. If they don't date now I definitely think they will in the future.

[@AnonymousMusa]

i think they have a thing, and are taking slow, they act too much like a couple but we will see what happen tho, bc she is a busy girl s idk

[@kimgedits]

I think Val is really in love with Mani first the flowers and now the Teddy Bear I want a man like that 😍😩

[@fashionlover1764]

Nahh he's like that with all his partners. He even kissed with Kelly Monaco, Janel Parish and Sherri Shepherd my Lord.

[@JJ-fq5nx]

Lyanne De Jesus nah i think this is different. With Janel you could clearly see that it was showmance and it was forced. And those other two were all over him. With Normani at the other hand you can see their chemistry is natural even Tom asked on the show how their chemistry is so strong

[@AnonymousMusa]

that was showmance tho

[@flexjordi3960]

Was he the one that actually bought her the teddy bear ?

[@andrealjackson]

Flex Jordi he had to because its his voice in the bear 😂

[@cooperrose9868]

Normani and Val should of won dancing with the stars season 24

[@mikinhalingeron]

I miss ValMani already.

[@1prettyladyofgrace7]

Normani was robbed!!! She was absolute perfection!!! Congratulations to Rashad though; he was amazing!!! David couldn't dance, but he was super sweet!!! He definitely didn't deserve 2nd place for his dancing!!!

[@ashleyfamily9143]

Normani is fire 🔥 she should have won👸🏾

[@mollymyers4173]

Normani and Bonner's relationship was brought up and Rashad made a face and turned, I might've giggled

[@mollymyers4173]

It's impossible not to love Normani!

[@kimgedits]

little mix Lmao David too 😂

[@trueglitterdust]

I noticed David and Rashad (obviosly Val too) being into Normani lol....the girl is beautiful inside and out

[@Poeticlife23]

Molly Myers Normani got all these guys crushing on you lol

[@andrealjackson]

Everyone is whipped by the personality and beauty 💅🏽 even me lmao

[@KatyandRirifan]

Normani should have won

[@allanmhanson]

Valmani needs to be the next celebrity relationship.

[@iloveejbgssnoopy]

Yippie I love the message from Rashad mom and dad thumbs up

[@smellyfeeeeeeeeeeeet]

why won't she got out with Val??? he is in love with her. Bonner is not good for her

[@pigletpiglet8751]

hi bye Bonner is perfect for her he's a real gentleman not a player according to the fans Val's in love with all his partners smh

[@SummerLuver333]

hi bye Val literally flirts and has that connection with all his partners

[@AnonymousMusa]

Not true

[@millennial4840]

athena j exactly

[@Poeticlife23]

hi bye I think she is in love with him. But she is holding back. cuz in their interviews she always looked at him the way a couple would look at each other. She probably wanna make sure he is not gonna hurt her. So she is gonna talk about other guys to get him jealous until he decides to make a move I guess.

[@RunningMyMouth_]

I still don't understand how David came in 2nd place omg

[@huppayan]

Jessica Stewart I've watched dancing with the stars since season one and while part of voting is about being good, people also vote for stories, showmances etc. However, every season people are salty and have memory loss claiming that dancing with the stars is about non dancers becoming great. But Drew Lachey won season 2 and had dance experience / was in a boyband 🤔(trust me, after season 1 EVERY season had people with dance experience, but people love to stay petty...) Either way, I think David came in second because of fans and people who liked his personality and salty people with selective memory... but that's just my opinion ☕️

[@sablesenegal9895]

Wow this feels like love connection instead of dwts .val &Normani are dating but not each other!This will be a fun summer !

[@joyrose2148]

Even the little son, who love his dad, said his dad did not do well. Val/normani should at least get 2nd place.

[@huppayan]

John a Aww, I think it's just the innocence of being a kid, they see things in absolutes. While adults look at things in shades of grey.

[@destinysanders8217]

Normani is going on a date omg 💓💓

[@Poeticlife23]

Normani when you feeling down play voice and the teddy and it'll definitely cheer you up. Val making sure he cheer you up girl.

[@TheChristinameeee]

Why do I feel like Emma loves Rashad more than Sasha 🤐😂

[@keiarapullom317]

TheChristinameeee me too😂

[@Keyshaw30]

TheChristinameeee I totally see it!! He's sooo dreamy to look at!

[@sharon21924]

TheChristinameeee no way 😂 emma and sasha have had their ups and downs shes madly in love with him lol

[@larryjones4407]

Yep, the body language says it all. She is truly in love with him.

[@katiedawnmcgregor3665]

asdfghjkl

[@paritoshsinghrahar]

I am glad atleast Pros and Celebrities are cool about it.

[@harmonizermahoes474]

Team #Valmani

[@independent8342]

Go get it grandma, Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, sooo funny

[@Icislovelyxs]

Still not over it

[@veraowens7733]

I can't believe Normani and Val didn't win. It just goes to show you the best dancer doesn't always win. Sometimes it's the most popular.

[@ceciliem1811]

Norman and Val, should have won!! It is so important for the viewers to vote!!!! I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!

[@allanmhanson]

Normani's dance is so much better than the two guy combined. I can't understand why the superior dancer get the last place....

[@martha570]

Still can't believe that Normani was robbed of first place.

[@mirjanaf3949]

Emma and Rashad deserved this !!

[@badboypezza15]

TBH Normani didn't have to win to prove anything. She's already a dancer, it's her JOB! The others came into this not knowing anything and yeah let them take the crown. Their all winners. Good for them.

[@KatyandRirifan]

she's not a dancer tho

[@ashOB_13]

Pacific Diary ok maybe what you are saying is true, then what about Nancy, Simone who was way better than both Rashad and old man David. This show is clearly sexist

[@user-jb4kn5hr8i]

You guys have to stop using that boring excuse all the time... especially when it comes to Normani. Heather was a professional dancer and Simone is a gymnast.... Normani is in a girl group and they sing they are not professional dancers at all.. they dont teach her ballroom dancing in Fifth Harmony honey.... You guys have to stop using that stupid statement really because its annoying

[@ashOB_13]

i agree with you E

[@kimgedits]

WTF she is a "SINGER" not a dancer is not the same job lol.

[@mega.monica]

CAN NORMANI GET SOME SPEAKING TIME?!?? Jeez...

[@lisascott3433]

I vote for who I like. good, Lord. why be so mean??

[@sarah-ne6yq]

The show is rigged normani should have won

[@SummerLuver333]

Harmonizers ignite the show isn't rigged, you can't just say that because your favourite didn't win. I was shocked she got 3rd place but Rashad won because he got most of the votes and that's how you win the show

[@funnypalooza4363]

athena j no it was rigged because they wanted him to win because he'll go on tour with them

[@purplestarlite100]

athena j well Maybe it shouldn't be called dancing with the stars...if it's a popularity contest

[@RayRihanna22]

Exactly!

[@user-jb4kn5hr8i]

+ athena j With all my respects but i saw Normani stans voting all night... people didnt sleep at all on sunday or monday because they were getting more accounts ready... they counted on tw more than 600k votes.. idk its just weird.. and Normani did deserve to be second at least im sorry. She was the best one out of the three of them and since its dancing with the stars i think the show should give more importance to the judges scores and not just the gp votes

[@AnonymousMusa]

Gradma doing thing in Val clothes.

[@lisascott3433]

a talented man won.

[@destinysanders8217]

Normani should of won I don't give a fuck! She won hands down 🏆❤👑

[@ElefitTV]

DWTS is trending on line 3 videos with less than 10,000 views hmm ( how much you pay KZbin? )

[@flexjordi3960]

Can y'all Valmanis shippers stop. I don't think they are gonna be a thing oooh. Apparently Val is seeing someone else. We shall wait and see.

[@rsimon2088]

Dear Harmonizers, Val is like that with ALL if his partners, that doesn't mean he's in love with them!!!!

[@huppayan]

Raquel Simon Your PSA makes sense, but it's kinda hard to stop a "ship" at sail. When I was in high school no one could tell me Ashley Tisdale & Zac Efron weren't secretly dating, I KNEW they would get married one day.... Just let them have it, when you grow up and life slaps you in the face, you don't have time to ship, or dream or be young....

[@lisascott3433]

you can't honestly believe that all peeps sit around in their living rooms, watching footwork & arm extensions, to vote on who had the most improvement & became the better dancer. there's tons of viewers who watch ea season, and vote for people they like. doesn't make anyone an idiot or an ass.

[@roter13]

Val needs a better poker face. you can't win every season dude.

[@funnypalooza4363]

roter13 well he knew he deserved to win with Normani so I don't blame him

[@user-or4eu9xq1y]

roter13 wouldn't you be upset if you got cheated out of winning something because amerikkka wanted a guy to win over a more deserving woman?

[@sharon21924]

b thats not fair. Rashad deserved it just as much as normani did, normani is a natural performer she does it for a living of course she was going to be great. Rashad came in as a beginner. Val wants his partner to win OF COURSE he's upset when it doesn't happen especially because she was capable of winning. But to take the credit away from rashad just because you love normani is not fair.

[@joyrose2148]

She was not just capable of winning, she won!!, they did not reward her.

[@benjames9691]

Normani does not dance for a living.

[@SarahsDalyLife]

David please stop talking... - America and the rest of the world

[@user-or4eu9xq1y]

Sarah'sDalyLife literally lol

[@ashleyremelus]

Sarah'sDalyLife what did David do to you?

[@foreveralive6949]

Those who are pushing for the Val/Normani hookup need to get to know a little more about Val. He's a good guy, but the guy is a tom cat. He changes women like most people change underwear. Fact. Their relationship would only last until the season premiere of season 25.

[@huppayan]

foreveralive well she friend-zoned him anyway so it's probably for the best 😂.

[@jannelledear2645]

happywonderer He's with Jenna in Rome right now. I bet he marries her. Normani deserves better anyway.

[@suzannepepin1218]

Nomani and Val should have one but Heather and Max should have won but without them nomani and Val are second I'm never watching this show again the best dancer didn't win and it's a joke. The best dancer don't win. It's not the best dancer only a popularity contest Hate the show.

[@kayowens1772]

NORMANI BETTER DATE BONNER

[@mitchiehewer]

Normani's makeup though.............................a little too off her skin color, fire the makeup artist ASAP and hire one from DWTS.

[@lisascott3433]

normani was a good dancer, but I never voted for her. fans vote for all diff kinds of reasons. I voted for Chris the 1st week, Heather one week, Nancy one week & later David & rashad. not once for normani, tho.

[@oumydiasse9529]

Lisa Scott why

[@user-jb4kn5hr8i]

its a shame that you didnt want a talented woman to win tho... its really sad

[@ZZ-mh2nv]

Lisa Scott why would even admit that?ass

[@ekarshat3108]

who are you ?😂😂😂

[@lilacbp3908]
