Beyoncé type beat 😍

[@Insertwittypunchlinehere]

That was literally us watching Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child

[@Itzquann]

@@Insertwittypunchlinehere yesss that’s what I keep thinking. Like I’m not trying to compare the two but at the same time I don’t think it’s taking any light from her because Beyoncé has been the same way and for Normani I see longevity. I can only dream that they do a collaboration.

[@Insertwittypunchlinehere]

@@Itzquann It’s so evident to me that she’s next up. My only qualm with her is that she needs to team up with a bomb producer and writer, be authentic and find her sound (that’s when Bey, Ri, Janet, GaGa, Amy, Mariah, etc all really popped/ went next level.) Now no shade but have we seen Queen Bey jump on the track with another female SINGER since Shakira? 🤨😂😂😂 (just being a little messy) 😈

[@taratrenise2935]

This interview and her answers are so refreshing. Its rare to hear artist to be so transparent and introspective concerning their career. She comes across as authentic and genuine.

[@angelicaterry3367]

She's an introvert and possibly a deep thinker in an extrovert profession. An introvert wearing so many hats will have so many moments of self doubt in the quiet moments alone. To face those head on and overcome them, like she's said she has, requires honest reflection. I agree, very refreshing and it's lovely that she can be appreciated because there are precious few like her.

[@twentysvn]

The growth in confidence from two years ago is so noticeable. This is really her moment. I’m so happy for her.

[@sheltertwo7957]

I can see it too. Her dancing alone blew my hair back.

[@carpediemearth]

She needs her own sound, creativity and brand to be thought of as an icon in the future. So far she's only tributed icons of the past

[@SNXO]

Her mannerism reminds me of Janet Jackson. I simply don't know why. Her soft tone, almost shy personality and infectious smile. It all reminds me of Janet

[@ndo533]

It makes you wonder how she gets on stage and does all that, a huge stage personality yet so shy. Amazing

[@padawannie]

Nd O it’s really funny bc I’ve been a fan of hers for 6 years now and she’s always been this shy and even awkward sometimes. She’s a whole different person on stage

[@jeremycollins8045]

Normanis discography is insane, Cardi B, Sam Smith , Khalid, Ariana Grande written song, even the Calvin harris records , she is so dynamic she makes music for everybody to enjoy , I think we don’t understand just how versatile she is .

Yesss!!! And it's just the start. A legend in the making❤

[@90sNikeRnB1]

Yes! I actually think that's her greatest strength and what makes her stand out and a part from the pack. Her diversity distinguishes her in a way. Honestly what artist reminds you of Janet, Brittany, aliyah, Beyonce, ( a little Selena to me too) all in one and sonically could give brandy, toni, Amel lerioux vibes. I just wish she had better writers/ singles.

[@antonyware]

I have to admit, this is literally my first time ever seeing Normani do an interview and I must say, VERY IMPRESSED! I mean this girl is really a future superstar. So poised and artistic and expressive! Very articulate while still being genuine and just DOWN! I mean I was really really impressed by not just how she expresses herself but also how much I learned about how involved she is in her work. She is clearly not a Pop puppet. You guys doing the interview, AMAZING job! It’s clear you knew how to make her comfortable and pull the best interview out of her as well. Great questions, great vibe, just overall amazing! Very glad I stopped to watched!

Interesting. You can tell she is very critical of herself and a perfectionist. Even in her performances. I think once she let’s that go just a little she will surrender to her amazing talent even more and connect. Her voice and her dance skills are immaculate. Now she needs to allow herself to enjoy it and truly connect to her audience. I’m so intrigued by what she will be bringing to entertainment. Wonderful artist. We need it.

[@sashav.3189]

I really have to say, that song and that video, the ONLY song in almost a decade that I play all day over and over and over and I have not gotten tired of it. It’s so 90s early 2000s I listen to it waking up, I listen to it when I go to sleep, I watch the video, and the background vocals are genius so subtle but when you really listen, it’s so beautiful and that’s what makes the song. The video came out, and I had alot to do, but I literally watched it all day over and over and over, sent it to my friends. I never knew cardi outside of her persona, but to hear her literally doing so much she didn’t even have to do, and wanting normanis success, I’m in love. So awesome. Bought both the song and the video. I need Merch! Great interview!

[@gracielahernandez8957]

Normani is my everything LITERALLY, luv you queen

[@wameezy]

So many gems in this interview. Normani is the real deal as an artist. She’s honestly giving a lot of advice for upcoming talent and for future artists to take notes cause this is how I’ve felt for a long time. The music industry is changing again and I feel like ppl need to take more control over there destiny versus letting outside sources take control of you. Don’t let that go over your head but this really gave me more confidence to manifest my life. This world is so judge mental and people care so much about what ppl think about them which is already difficult in itself. Without saying too much I watched this interview at 3;45 in the morning it’s giving me lots of confidence to persue my true dream which is music . I haven’t always been the most confident person but now I can completely relate . Incredible feeling!!!
