She nailed it!! Janet’s dance choreography isn’t easy! Good job Normani ❤

[@lolitis01]

It is not easy and she did a great job, but she did not nail it.

[@seanmoore9878]

​@lolitis01 yes she nailed it

[@Poeticlife23]

Janet was looking at her like a proud mom

Angel Diaz she has it. She really does. That X factor

[@cityofjesse5447]

i wish she would stop lip syncing tho.

[@mr.coates9195]

Trust me!! The crowds was way louder. They went nuts actually. I sat in the middle of the rows near the stage and she had the best performance. I just stumbled passed this video today even though she performed for this months ago. Tv production tuned out the audience so we could hear nomani clearer in the video for when she talked or when music was playing

[@rexxroyal]

she's such an amazing artist, I hope to work with her one day🤞🏾🤞🏾

Thank you so much for this information! I was sitting here mad that the audience was so dry and not giving Normani props for pulling off the energy, look and choreography ❤❤❤❤❤

[@DreamerDreaminDreams]

I'm so proud of her, but it pisses me off that she has to work harder to prove herself. She is obviously waay more talented than Camilla (Yeah, I went there.) But, we all know why she's not as noticed as Camilla. That's that bullshit. Normani will rise and she will show them all.

[@DreamerDreaminDreams]

I didn't want to say it, but yes. That's exactly why. And yes, she is.

[@powerinhavana3378]

stan camila, stan normani. they both slay but ofc the nation is toxic again

[@samosas]

put your energy into supporting her lol. stop focusing on who doesn't like her and why she's not growing and it'll do wonders for how you experience her content. it worked for me (: both women are amazing, i'd like to see a lot of other female artists rise to the top as easily as the men do.

[@Iamniko__]

Lol you mean bc she doesn’t have any original work out? 😂 can’t give praise to those who have 3-4 singles out lol that are mostly features. She’s need an album to give her acclaim so people can see her artistry. Camila already did that.

[@MohamedMohamed-wi5vu]

@@Iamniko__ and yet those 3-4 singles are better then roachilla’s entire discography.

Even janet didn’t do it straight through because it was a music video. Impressive af

Seeing Normani do a tribute to an icon like Janet Jackson and and doing it so well makes me so excited for Normani’s future as a solo artist

[@joycecunningham8785]

Normani did everything on point.

[@maylightbewithyou]

Anyone criticizing her for using playback needs to realize that both Michael and Janet Jackson used a heavy amount of playback in their live shows when they were dancing.

[@125loopy]

Thank you! I guess these aren't Janet or Michael fans. This performance was about the dance and she killed it.

[@voltairexxi]

Also the dance is difficult already.

[@jtkendrick3]

maylightbewithyou exactly, people don’t stop and think how many times you’ve heard Janet breathing in her mic! Never, they all use tracks.

[@t.abellard6280]

Singing properly while doing this crazy choreography is impossible.

[@jamesb.3869]

@Hanne Karin Bayer he never did use playback. But he sure he’ll lipsynced a lot. Half of the history tour set was him lipsyncing. I’m not knocking him though because out of the three tour world tours he’s been on as solo artist has had at least 70 tour dates across the continent. The Bad tour had 123 tour dates and sung live the entire time. Shoot that’s not even counting his work as apart of the Jackson five. I’m surprised he didn’t suffer from even more vocal damage.

[@nickbull4824]

No new artist today are performing like her !

[@kevkpatt]

Nick Bull facts

[@blkd25]

That's why she's creating the buzz that she is - she's like a breath of fresh air to the mainstream world. In the r&b world, there are a few girls that are doing this...not new, but young and not getting the attention they deserve. That's what Normani is trying to change.

[@andremotivation6561]

Nick Bull theres another girl named Victoria Monet, she bad as well

[@nickbull4824]

I name all about her Andre but is he doing what Normani doing ? Your go .

[@nickbull4824]

Even her backup singers says she was live singing ! When she executes her performance people have to add something in it. Y’all only seen just a lil bit of her in fifth harmony. When she slay y’all think it’s to good to be true.

[@elroe327]

Normani should go around and do all tributes cause she the only one that gives them justice.

[@rayonajouston1514]

I am reading your message late but I AGREE 🦋NORMANI🦋 is SO TALENTED,That why her haters are Pushing so hard to take her SPIRIT BUT U CANT take what you DIDNT GIVE!.It will show who should have been chosen to go solo...they picked the wrong one. HOW CAN THEY EXPLAIN THE CHOICE THEY MADE,they are scrambling to Somehow get CAMILLA UP!! BUT ITS TOO LATE...🦋 NORMANI 🦋 IS HERE and KILLING THE GAME! HER (Camilla) CINDERELLA MOVIE IS GOING STRAIGHT TO TV....AMAZON purchased it because it's not good enough for the Theater. They reported that her acting was not up to the standards for the BIG SCREEN. Normanis' team (S10) signed a Partnership deal with ROC NATION!! Yes that's JAY-Z. Do u want to talk about NORMANIS' CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS....ALL THE CELEBRITIES THAT ARE ON BOARD THE HOTTEST STAR IN THE GAME...............🦋NORMANI🦋

Good to know I’m not the only one with tears in my eyes. Control was the first album I purchased with “my own money” in 5th grade-a cassette for my Walkman. ❤

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

OMG...she nailed this!! Janet has very intricate dance moves they are not easy to replicate without TALENT and a ton of practice! Most importantly she got the ENERGY down pat.

[@Endtimes417]

They did not tape the splitzzzzzz properly , the cameramen are dismissed

[@laceyjabot134]

I agree. The original has to be re-edited! There was also a small tech issue as well. We must petition to Brandon. We really need th HD version to be 🔥.

[@kevkpatt]

EndOf Time i agree

[@jessdiaz5052]

They didn’t tape it because she fell

[@niquenaque2007]

yall need to be grateful because this is the only HD clip available out of the whole show. we just saw camera angles and heard the audio really well. everyone else has camera phone footage. also, she almost bust her shit with that chair but recovered really well. lol

Good job to May, but a little bit overkill for my taste

[@Teeyah2]

She did that!!!

[@camilacabello7261]

Can we talk about her high notes they were so pure and perfect

[@donald627]

Woah! She nailed that shit! Didn't missed a beat. We need more artist like this to bring back the true "entertainment" factor and dance to music....like the icons of the 80's and 90's were bringing it. She's got it!

[@danyellwar77]

Oh my goodness SHE KILLED THAT. I for one know how hard that dance is. I did the first part as try outs for drill team in high school. I spent days and days in the attic. Wore my family out with that song. Lol. The good ol days. ☺️

I see her becoming a Global performer None of the new wave of pop girls can perform like her

[@tammyd.fleming2349]

Normani is fabulous. She's so talented. Great tribute to my favorite Janet Jackson

[@padawannie]

I’ve been a fan of this girl for 4 years now and she never fails to amaze me with her work ethic. Comitting to such a difficult and intense performance is already crazy, but in front of Janet Jackson herself is insane! It just shows how dedicated and fearless she is as a performer. She’s devoted to music in levels I can’t even begin to understand. There’s no one out there like Normani and I’ve waited so long to see people recognizing that... I can’t even believe it’s happening. Currently losing my mind. Anyways....... She’s about to make history, you guys!

Princess Normani! She embodied Janet’s spirit!! Look at her!!!! She jumped from that chair like a superhero and landed in a pose!!! These are appetizers she’s been giving us and it’s like the main course because she murders it everytime but chilllllle when she debuts her album we will all need life support because she is going to leave us breathless!

[@Qu33n]

Kenzo Dawn I knoooow!!! The same way they missed the split!!! From now on camera operators need to have a minimum of 7 cameras angling in all directions when Normani hits any stage!!! We cannot miss any iconic moments from our icon!!

[@toniarawls6611]

I am much much older than Normani but I love her she is doing her thing, I started following her career after I saw her on dancing with the stars, Normani is the bomb ,

[@honeyknp]

She has a velvet voice

[@zoozbuh]

I don’t even care about the lip-syncing... her dancing, her energy, her pure confidence.. WOW. Also she sounds amazing on the track. It would’ve been stupid trying to sing live with choreo that intense. Understandable

[@amyguide7853]

she wasnt it was live :)

[@Kordeilogy]

zoozbuh she had a backtrack for background vocals but everything was live! it’s amazing how her breath control has improved over the years. ugh I love my little legend!

[@Kordeilogy]

lenzaa j girl I stg y’all find the dumbest excuses to deny her singing abilities 🤦‍♀️. just cause someone sings live and sounds good doesn’t mean they aren’t really singing. sad that it’s come to this with natural talented artist. maybe check your fave before you have to say anything sis.

[@Kordeilogy]

lenzaa j how many times you gonna type that bullshit? gtfo sis bc we don’t need ppl who can’t appreciate REAL and RAW talent. I love that normani makes you that upset ugh her mind! POWERFUL 💥

[@laceyjabot134]

Just watching this routine for the umpteenth time and just had a new epiphany. As I watched her this time, I was trying to determine what sets her apart from others who have given a tribute to Janet by way of dance and song. That "IT" Factor is what sets her apart from other tributes: 1) awesome performance overall, 2) she was very engaging with Janet--she often looked over to her and smiled, and still remained focused, 3) she embodied the routine by making it her very own tribute to Janet with little subtleties--no overkill, and 4) she danced and sang with so much presence, by pouring her heart and soul into the tribute. It wasn't just her dancing and singing, we and Janet witnessed her entire spirit and essence of the performance emit powerful energy. We are proud of Normani. She is really set apart and distinguished in the industry. She is setting the standard very high. 🚀🚀🚀

Folks needs to get off her back and other artists’ back regarding using playback/pre-recorded vocals while dancing. Actually singing live and doing heavy choreography is NOT an easy thing to do. Just enjoy this dope performance. Normani did her thing.

[@Poeticlife23]

Ukr she aint gon be the first neither the last to use playback

[@moonstone8730]

I would prefer they did it that way. We know the girl can sing. We've seen her do acapella many times over. So for me I don't care if they don't sing live sometimes. Especially if they're going to be doing some major dancing. You can even give me a few live songs at a concert and I'm good. I rather see a good performance, rather than an artist dying/out of breath from trying to sing and dance.

[@amyguide7853]

One of her dancers confirm that she was singing live and he also said doing the chorus the background singers was a bit heavier on the vocals... but every time Normani breathe she gets hate

[@MR-gk4bg]

amy guide she’s definitely not singing live you can hear the difference when she’s talking in her mic from when she was singing. There’s nothing wrong with that tho it’s hard to sing with your head bobbling everywhere and jumping around. We all know she has a voice on her

[@CC-rm9uq]
