“Your too soulful” “you need to hold back” translates to “you sing better than who we actually want to shine and that’s not okay.” 😂

[@djim839]

naw not really, normani sung lead cuz the track was more of a hiphop vibe , sometimes it really just boils down to the sound for the audience, Dinah has a deep strong voice and not every song wins with that ingredient

[@VONiiE8]

Imagine telling her she’s too soulful, and don’t allow her to shine. Just to have Camilla sing all the “soulful” parts is just insane. 😭

she would WHINE & screech through all of those “soulful” parts at that 💀

It’s only because she had the most “pop” sound.

the label fucked 5th harmony over by pitting them against each other. nothing good comes from a hostile work environment, and it’s heartbreaking that they were done like that. props to dinah for coming on the show and talking about these things. she’s amazing and it’s nice to see that she’s doing her thing post-5H.

Fifth Harmony had some bops. Hearing them speak about their time in the band after the hiatus is so sad. All of them were teenagers when it started & I feel like none of these Managers/Label Executives looked after their physical, mental & spiritual well being. I hope they can find the healing they need

[@Mofusion]

The real fans knew this all along. They never spoke directly about it, it was always some cliché moments in soundchecks/ meet & greets/ tour interludes etc... It breaks my heart hearing her speak about this now (and before).

@@MofusionI remember Lauren would be cryptic af in numerous interviews/Q&A saying stuff like “read your contracts” to a fan who asked about getting into the industry, or generally just hinting at their lack of input in the group.

[@Mofusion]

@@isaiahacevedo541 That moment is engraved in my brain for life and I'm not exaggerating. I spent most of teen years being super obsessed with them so I have this kind of grew up with them mentality. It hurts me that I knew about their mistreatment but we never really got to do anything because the label was in high power. Which was frustrating. They were never given creative control until Camila left cause Epic just wanted the girls to do anything guaranteed they'd flop and they'd get dropped 😔.Epic Records is literally hell, Look at Madison Beers career. Her first album took a WHILE to release despite having 3 singles. As well as Zara Larsson, she had 5 singles before her debut. Epic Records is basically a really greedy company.

One thing about Dinah Jane, when it came to live performances she delivered consistent live vocals ! She never used to hold back during live shows! To me she was the best vocally of the group & I hate how she was treated 🫶🏽

The group held them back and that's such a shame, all of them had great voices and had so much potential. I feel like their label wanted to focus so much on Camila, and I get it, she has an unique voice, but it's frustrating to hear how much bs they got when in fact, all 5 of them could sing really well. Just look at songs like Who Are You, We Know, That's My Girl, those were some moments were all of them really shined and it sounded amazing.

[@siralphey234]

Forming a group and then picking who gets to have singing parts on a record, specifically not allowing all members to actual sing "solo" on the record is probably one of the most evil things I've ever heard about the music industry. And they were teenage girls, imagine what this rejection and erasure does to your confidence and self-worth. Their managers, the A&R, producers or whoever made these decisions are not seeing heaven, bunch of sociopathic assholes. Congratulations on your artistic freedom dear Dinah Jane. You deserve to shine, you are so talented.

[@Lainey97]

that’s the one thing I appreciate about Little Mix. They all got equal shine, equal parts, nobody outdid the other. The consciously decided to be equals and be a group. It’s sad fifth harmonys label wouldn’t provide for them in the same ways! It’s creates a competitive atmosphere for sure.

This isn't new though. I'm not saying it's okay but it seem pretty common. Happened even in DC. Michelle has pipes but you never really heard her until much later on. Happened a ton in Danity Kane. The difference is though with DK they actually got told how to sing so they had a chance to get on the record. Butnif your sound wasn't a fit they left you off. In this case it sounds like they just left her off without really helping her out. I'm sure the same thing happened in the 90s girl groups.

[@scottrosenfeld9971]

Having watched 5th Harmony since X factor auditions, it was always insane to me how little Dinah Jane was feature on the songs. She was arguably the strongest vocalist in the group, and she didn’t even feature prominently in any of their singles until “Flex”. Bananas. I’ll always remember her absolutely destroying “If I were a boy” at like 15 years old.

[@mai.vancon]

Same. Her audition stood out to me the most, and that's why she was my favourite throughout the show.

[@Poetess116]

I really feel like they punshed Camilla to the front. They wanted her to be the face of the group. They really buried Dinah Jane & Lauren who’s voices are actually better in my opinion. I think they felt Camilla was more marketable, she had a uniqueness to her voice but it wasn’t too R&B or too soulful. They didn’t want to turn off their non-poc fans.

[@divadream]

if you don't mind me asking, I'm curious to what made you not list Ally? While vocal style and characteristics are of course up for preference, when it comes to the definition of vocal talent, Ally is the strongest in almost every area: skill, technique, range, musicality, resonance, etc (although she and Normani both possess whistle register, Ally has the highest vocal range and Normani can also go lowest)

This is a very important topic. Young people starting out in the music industry don’t realize that If you are signed to a major label or a subsidiary, you may qualify for health insurance though AFTRA. This applies to “royalty artists” as well as session vocalists, and the plan also covers families, not just individuals. Artists who join unions can obtain benefits through their union, for instance SAG/AFTRA, the Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has a pension and health plan. The music industry will never NOT be predatory on people’s ignorance, however💯💯

They tried to do the same with Little Mix in regards to having Perrie as the "lead" but Little Mix fought their management for their entire career to make sure they all had equal say, the concept of equality was something that was integral to the group and the reason why they lasted so long Vs Fifth Harmony who imploded in a number of years, largely due to that inequality between members. The whole thing of having 1 lead singer is usually seen in US girl groups too (although it is a sexist and ridiculous industry standard that has been consistently disproven).

As an artist myself, BEING TOLD YOU ARE "TOO SOULFUL" means you are TOO BLACK OR TOO ETHNIC for Top 40 and Pop Music. That's Racist AF. Don't ever let someone tell you that

[@sailorkeyblader]

@@justina3766 yup. When you are black or any other ethnicity with dark coloring that sing with power, do riffs runs, and is very skilled...you are told you're too soulful and should be quiet. Soul music is mostly associated with black people and music executives think that sound doesn't sell to the mainstream audience or white people. So, when you get told you are TOO SOULFUL it means YOU SOUND TOO BLACK AND YOU WONT MAKE IT MAINSTREAM OR TOP40. That's why you don't hear R&B on a Z100, Zach Sang or Ryan Seacrest because in their eyes, it doesn't sell. It is completely racist and it's a double standard when white counterparts like Adele, Sam Smith, and other can sing like that and be put on Billboards, mainstream radio, TV, etc.

[@igiglim]

It’s the way the album cover on the thumbnail wasnt even talked about. You mistakenly used 7/27 album cover than using the Reflection album.

[@niamsnia6209]

Loooove Dinah ! She looks stunning

[@Psshyeahbby]

wow shes soo gorgeous

[@henriquemendescampos8648]

Dinah ❤❤❤❤

[@roughlauren2706]

i love you dinah

[@MarloJimenez7]

I remember an interview where they said she was late during the recording of the songs thats why she doesnt have parts in it.

[@pigeondance]

sounds like a cover up

[@Yo99753]

Wasn't it Lauren?

[@user-bm9cc3mc5r]

Dinah Jane sounds so good!!!

[@markgeraldungriarizal4677]

Wow her voice matured

[@jalenbrown3978]

don't play w/ her!!!! Dinah Jane is THAT GIRL and can sing your favorite under the table!

[@anamacedo]

And there I was just hoping to hear Dinah's soul on the records

[@hayli__]

yo full disclosure, at the time, i really thought, to be quite honest, i still to this day think it's actually Dinah's voice & management somehow made them do some kind of switch during live performances with Dinah & Camila, i really honestly thought Dinah was on the "ooh whoa baby" adlibs after the hook verse😂😂😂😂sorta like how they pulled a Miss Movin On switch where Lauren sang the verse "I broke the glass that surrounded me, i ain't the way you remember me, i was such a good girl so fragile, but no more" on the official released version but Ally does the verse during live performances...

[@umcottoncandy]

why is everyone talking about camila ? 😭

[@umcottoncandy]

leave my baby alone

[@MsEriKaT]

Wow she looks so different

[@V_channel2023]

Wow, it's sad 😢

[@TheMarlonChannel]

5H was shit when it came to sharing parts. It was so commercial, it hurt.

[@nottheoneb5854]

She was one of the best singers from the group and they didn’t allow her to shine

[@singstreetcar5881]

Let it GO

[@rogerzambranomusic]

So was she or not? She said she was on vocals and backing stuff the she said her voice is not there. 🤷‍♂️

[@TheMarlonChannel]

Are u dumb?

[@Bruddahlekii]

She meant she didn’t have any lead parts on the songs and only did the harmonies on the chorus. So they basically just blended her vocals with the other girls. Just no solos

[@velky_reeds]

​@@Bruddahlekii she meant that she didn't have lines, basically in groups, some members would get a verse, a chorus, ad libs, etc. these are called line distributions, Dinah does not have lines for Sledgehammer and Boss but only appears for the chorus and harmony. because of this, she has 0% on the line distribution

[@MarcosAntonio-mo6qj]

She is singing the harmonies in Boss, but is out of sledgehammer

[@alfredoofc7090]

She deserves better

[@Phettraining86]

I wish they would gave her the light they did with Normani

[@TheVallex]

So sad to think that even in 2023, "Harmonizers" are still pitching the girls against each other. When will they understand that the 5 girls were part of a plan, and you hating just proves they were right. They were so young when they were together and it's just sad to see how everything unfolded and how every "fan" is still bitter about it.

[@Thomasthecreator98]

Part of me want a 5H reunion but after hearing what they been through maybe they shouldn’t

[@Juicypunani]

WOW !!!! when the caged bird saaaaaanggsss beech!!! We ready !

[@19nzinga]

I feel like the producers and whoever was in charge was always trying to make Camila the focus or the star of the group. I don’t think the rest of the girls had a fair chance.

[@wpqpdnjs]

Oh yeah the dinah fans were MAD back then and rightfully so

[@Prettiest_femalerapper_ever]

No one is fully healed

[@funkerman86]

honey they do this to single artists as well, Britney has to adapt her voice to a more nasal version so they could sell the innocent virgin persona, it's not a girl group thing. Even if you were on your own, if your voice wasn't what your team wanted to sell, they'd still make you change it

[@ronnietoobadd]

This isnt unheard of, it depends on the song and its intended sound. For instance, theres plenty of girl groups like Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child who have songs that not all the girls are on.

[@Prettiest_femalerapper_ever]

I love how the comments are CAMILA CAMILA CAMILA CAMILA CAMILA CAMILA

[@9OsLatina]

She’s the only one worth bringing up in terms of popularity from the public and vocal excellence 💁🏻‍♀️

[@anavsuccess8624]

Shame on those that doing that for them. Glad they go on their own, explore their talents. Music industry only do what makes them money and whom they favorites. They must be heart broken when only few voice allow to be outstanding. I never like one of the girl voice too cringe won't say her name coz her fanz will attack me haha 😂 Always forever support my polygirl Dinah from the start, she's the reason I love fifth harmony back then.
