They really were overworked, not a lot of album’s but a lot of performances everywhere.

[@armywithluv55]

After the tour they made reflection and the following year they did 7/27 and then again the next year they worked to made the third album 😔

[@daaanxii]

@@armywithluv55 there were supposed to be a christmas album and another full album on the way...

[@kztwitter]

not a lot of albums in comparison to, let’s say, little mix, but you have to account that fh lasted almost half the time little mix did so that is actually - a lot of albums

[@tajsimms8976]

I’m curious on rather they got paid fairly for all there performances because artist usually get all their money from performing but if the label overworked them with performances it’s not hard to say they made the most money out of their performances

[@therossieross]

And not even being well payed

[@TZuqino]

I miss them so so much. honestly i HAD to accept the fact that they are just 100x better as individuals eventually and it was hard to accept it when they released the hiatus statement. Camila has 3 albums Lauren released Prelude last year, Ally is releasing music, Normani and dinah are working on their albums and i wish all of them the success they all deserve. those women went through alot together. glad they got their much needed break from 5H. i love them.

[@chloeclarke9495]

I just really got into Fifth Harmony and I’m so glad you talked about their over sexualization!! I saw Dinah for the first time in the All in My Head video I immediately thought “Oh, she’s supposed to be the sexy one.” Rewatching their videos and doing the math on their ages, it’s crazy how young they were with the songs and videos they were doing. Lauren met Ty Dolla $ on the WFH video, she was 20 and he was 34 when they were dating. 7/27 is a good album though.

[@miag.l1087]

I noticed that even though Dinah was the youngest she was usually presented as the most sexy (not every time but a lot). That's creepy when you think about it. I know some people might argue that its okay because its "legal," but just because something is legal it doesn't make it right. They were all very young.

[@redeemedstone]

Agree. These teenage girls never saw their families only during the holidays at the end of the year. These girls practically lived their gruelling schedule in high heels the rest of the year.

[@makotohideki9509]

They were one of the best things in my teenage years, I remember listening all day, trying to learn their dances, in fact for them I started liking dance and decided to start my life as a dancer, nowadays is just a hobby but I enjoy it a lot. I really miss them, I hope just one day the do a reunion, I know they are better separately but the group didn't have a proper disband.

[@Jash26]

I fucking hate Epic for releasing those statements. Everyone thought it's them who posted those, but it was their label to make drama and made the remaining girls the bad guys. Even their performances where someone throws her body down, it's the trashy Epic who did those. After Camila left, they abandon them. What a shame Epic, I hope that shitty label will bankrupt.

[@dxnmark]

As much as Harmonizers want them to come back, it's not possible. It seems that they're over it and they want to move on from their traumatic experience from 5H. A little interaction at least, but not a comeback :(

[@maninedoow5895]

Just wait. 10-15 more years from now…💥😭

[@royalel.7002]

I remember when work from home came out and all in my head it was so good I remember listening to it on the radio at my daycare bus I miss the old days I wish they were still a group with Camila 😭❤️

[@maninedoow5895]

Or that Camila was back in the group

[@therossieross]

what makes me sad is that their last album was the best because of the vocals but people were not capable to admit it or even notice it.

[@maninedoow5895]

Or just even in the beginning of their career I’ve been following them since 2013 (at the time I didn’t know XFactor was but thanks to Disney) and when Miss Movin On came out they were vocal BEASTS TLC is my favorite girl group but vocally 5H serves 😊

[@KTBEverlasting]

It was until I followed them that I saw how the Industry and these labels are not pro-artist. They never were. They're greedy users and abusers. It's no surprised that some artists threaten to retire and actually do because they (powers that be) suck the life out of them.

[@AzzaTV]

I randomly came across this video…. And then stayed to watch the whole thing. And I really enjoyed it. Fifth Harmony certainly had some bangers, “That’s My Girl” being my fave.

[@cesarlopez2615]

I love their self titled album “Fifth Harmony”❤️ it’s just shows who fifth harmony really is but sadly, it would be their last album 😔

[@Sammy.H.Redwood]

They were definitely overworked and push to their limit, just like One Direction and Little Mix. They have no control what they should do.

[@GrizzlyPurpleBearKatie]

The girls definitely didn’t have any control what do in the band, they definitely were overworked sexualise and force to a adult. When they are still kids, except for Ally being 18/19 at the time. They were not treated like a person, they were treated like objects and products. No wonder why the band are no longer together anymore, the label company don’t care about them or their mental health. Just as long company make money out of them.

[@bgcrp2005]

Mentally ally was a teen still tho 18/19 is not mature yet

[@jamie_ghost.johnson]

@@bgcrp2005 Yes, she wasn’t mature enough, doesn’t make her a teenager. But yeah, she was still young. So, technically Ally is young adult. Once you turning 18, your technically an adult. Your no longer a teenager, so Ally is no longer a teen. She is an adult, a young adult. Not a teen.

[@awadecoco6103]

I don't think you can compare an american band, against two british bands. 5H was in the most corrupt market there is, being a girband in the USA became dangerous for them. The girls were forced to show up having anxiety attacks, they had no control over ANYTHING. Little Mix had control over the management of their presentations, tours, books, perfumes, makeup line, songs, outfits. 5H didn't even have what 1D and LM had.

[@TheYolo88]

I saw them get formed on tv and been following them ever since. Record label higher up’s and management are the main reason they broke up. They way they were overworked reminds me a lot of doja cat right now, I think both artists were under RCA

[@dreamscape3901]

Youre thinking of Little Mix with the RCA thing. 5H was always under Epic/Syco records, Little Mix were as well but switched to RCA and then Columbia

[@TheYolo88]

[@kendrichbadando7950]

I am honestly so sad at how their company wasted them they had such good potential! They were the first girl group i had ever stanned. But i am happy that they are doing better as solo artists now ( and especially dinah is starting to become an influencer which is good ) 💖

[@penguinmina7296]

Simon Cowell just keeps creating legends and destroying them when will this greedy man ever learn! he has the money and the resources to create a safe environment for all of the young artists he had and will have yet he keeps being as shit as kpop companies! i am just so tired of supporting groups that come from his company only for me to discover that i was just used as a bank and the artist just have been used as money making machines. I want to support the new girl group(Real Like You) but i keep thinking about my days of supporting 5H and little mix I don't want them to go through the same shit:(

[@learnnailswithme7041]

Wow I had no idea 5H was SO successful, yet I only ever heard 1 or 2 of their songs. Can't believe how hard they was worked. Such a shame

[@flixti9295]

you need way more love for this. You did so much research!! And I personally always thought Normani would absolutely demolish her solo career and I hope she will soon and I honestly thought that Normani, Dinah and Lauren would have been extremely powerful as a trio even tho I love Ally, she just has always had a very different vibe than them

[@starsun6916]

I hope they have a reunion. I've been a huge Fifth Harmony fan since they auditioned for X-Factor. when i heard camila left the group i was totally devastated and disappointed. but I still support Camila's career until now. and when Fifth Harmony was on hiatus. That's when I lost my taste in music. Fifth harmony = Half Of My Life 😭🥰

Great video, and I got to learn some things that I didn't know before. I can't wait until the girls tell us everything that happened in the group. There's so much that we don't know and it will probably really shock us. However, we're going to have to wait a long time for that. Also, I hope one day they will come back together. It would be great if the 5 of them could at least do one album together where they have full control.

[@drew5059]

Yes but they wouldn’t had been so successful if they weren’t at every award show and every festival. You have to overwork yourself in the beginning. That’s how you get noticed and gain fans. If you look at every established iconic artist you’ll see that they busted their asses for years to get to where they are now, and now they can cherry-pick their jobs because they’re at the top.

[@GF-mj6iq]

I came across this by accident and I had to watch it to the end. It was a good run down of 5H's career. Honestly those girls hustled so hard while they were so young. The should have been even bigger tbh. The USA is one of the hardest markets for girl groups. IDK why but the USA doesn't seem to take to girl groups as well as say Europe or Asia. I really wished their management/team had treated them better, even today I can tell all the girls have scars from how harshly they were treated.

[@emelie2377]

So you are saying that 98 countries does it better than Usa?

[@ferjacob3814]

Simon wants to relaunchthe X factor 👀 since he has no more groups to abuse….I’ve also noticed that once any of the group members make it as solo artists WITHOUT his help. He claims them. He already claimed Harry Styles and Camila, Zayne. And the last he’s claimed was Normani. As taking credit that he discovered them….

[@maninedoow5895]

He actually tried that AGAIN after One Direction, Little Mix, and Fifth Harmony with ANOTHER group named V5. They now go by the name of Angel22. They literally said, “NOPE” 😂

The management was trash. They didn’t even put budget to the group. Their tours only became poorer and poorer every era, they didn’t even had costume changes… it was shameful.

In takeovers, they looked like a little family and they looked happy. I'm sure we all saw signs, but didn't realize until too late that they were being overworked. They had incredible chemistry together, but i think they work better apart, where they can make music without being treated like slaves.

Thats not all the way true. In 2015, when Worth It music was released, Ally was 21 Normani was 18 Lauren was 18 and Camila had just turned 18. The only one underaged was Dinah. Who was 17.

[@mychaelabeauregard8389]

As much of a fan of them I was over the years, I fully believe that so much of them were underdeveloped, yet they were overworked to the bone and back again. They weren’t allowed to go away to have experiences to write about in songs, they didn’t have the greatest choreography to prefect their skills (Normani being the exception with her dance background) etc. Their team only gave a shit about sales and money, not caring about the women as neither artists or individuals.
