#Normani #WildSide #Verified - Hudba
As a shy and very quiet and introverted person, it’s so refreshing and inspiring to see a celebrity who embraces her shyness and quietness but who is still very confident. I thought I had to be loud to show confidence. But normani ´s confidence is something that I want to achieve. I love her for that
Yes this exactly
Exactly. She has a quiet confidence. Feminine, yet assertive. She has an ideal balance of energy. I love it.
This!!
Agreed
Feel you, especially as a black woman. Most of us are extroverts and I’ve been struggling with my shyness 😬 I love her confidence
Y’all can’t say nothing! Her voice is angelic and smooth the end.
Yeah but some concepts...💀
Still need some autotune ngl
@@BadBoy-qp5yl I understand your a hater but let’s be serious she doesn’t need auto tune
@@ExclusiveFlipz u need some auto tune . Purr
@@BadBoy-qp5yl Y’all love to be so loud and wrong. She doesn’t need it at all, go clean out your ears for me hun.
why is nobody talking about how she KILLED cardi’s verse
She did. I’d like to hear her rap more.
I think that if Cardi B was There she would tell more
Ehh no
Y
SHE DID
as an artist she is bubbly, content and confident. her personally is not forced. beautiful.
Exactly that’s why I love her
I love that Mani didn't try to make this song sound deeper than it is. The song is about expressing your sexuality and vocalizing your desires. Mani simply did this interview to discuss the process behind the song. Love it! And I just adore Mani. Been supporting sis since x-factor
Yess same. Alot of people don't know she been in the game for a decade now
1 reply????
@@sushi7910 yeah bc it’s true and there really isn’t nothing you can add to it
I love that people truly can understand that sometimes, that's all that needs to be said instead of "Me too ✋" "Same!" "I was thinking--" well you get the point lol it's good in moderation but when that's all that can be said。。。do you even need more than one "same。" with 5k likes lol won't change anything but I'm glad this was said so I had to say something too。Wise。
She literally sounds EXACTLY like the record. Normani has such an amazing soft buttery tone. This album is bout to be NO SKIPS! 😩🎵
That’s whats blowing my mind the most .. she’s amazing!
NO SKIPSSS
its the first time i see someone sayin "buttery" about her voice and i know thats right
YES!!!
Beautiful vocals
Her vocals are so pitch perfect that it sounds like she is using auto-tune when she sings. She hits those high notes effortlessly. Not only can she sing but she can dance...She's a true performer. 🔥💕
Exactly I thought no one else notice that, real talk
The gag is Normanis lower register is insane.. Her consistency is dope. So when she pushes no one really expects it. That's why many people think she wasnt live, her whole perfomance is actually recorded from rearview, you can hear her and the crowd and everything. Its leaked and people are trying to ignore it. The lipsyncing rumors have been debunked like a million times over. 💀💀💀 Its the "people blatantly disrespecting her yet, uplifting a semi stiff twerk ritual" that was clearly not up to par. If Normani came on the stage moving like Chloe was they would have clowned her. Its a clear cut difference with stage comfortability cause yooooo. 💀💀💀💀💀💀
I don’t care how much they try Normani will always win period.
whyd she say “not the most vocally challenging record” like all of us got a strong lower register like she does 😭
Not even that 🤣. She has a lower register but mainly in her volume. Her pitch and breath control is amazing and important to how she sings. So, even if you have a lower register you still need to be able to sing in a higher pitch.
True
It’s not vocally challenging
@@person8520 Uuuhhhh... Yes it is. Anything can be vocally challenging if they don't have her exact register or vocal abilities. Even if someone can sing. They will only be able to sing in their vocal register.
@@person8520 now you try saying that while singing the song in the exact same key she sings in, while doing the choreo.
because unless you have a strong breath control, as well as a strong lower register, this song is not easy.
The vocals are on point. The confidence is on point. She’s ready!
U call these vocals?!
@@Ash_tommo Yes, and she wasn't even trying. Normani can sing.
@@melaninatedgoddess3678 exactly.
@@melaninatedgoddess3678 her singing wild side is already difficult for most people anyways lol.

The “do do do’s” are my fav part! so I can just imagine how long it took for her to make it sound natural. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@Alex I I bet. I wish I still had mine otherwise I’d be all up in that thang.🤣
That’s my fav part too

LMAO

She just needs a personality and some mystery
She sounds exactly how she sound on the track, she’s too talented for this world… you’re #1 Queen.
I'm 53 years old and I had to wait until now...for this generation to be what I need! I love that these beautiful young women are speaking what we felt but couldn't say. We were told it was "unladylike." So it was a generation of unfulfilled women!
Janet Jackson spoke up for us...these ladies are pushing things forward.
I'm grateful!
💕💕
I love this for you
This comment is so wholesome
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't be the only one who thinks she's giving Tiana in this video. She looks like a princess!
She should play her. And she wants to
@@ndo533 that would be so amazing if she did play her💫
@@ndo533 OMG
Exactly what I was thinking when I first seen her and was going to comment this
No she’s giving Eve-tempting-you-with-the-apple vibes.
Normani doesn't realize this, but she is making everyone's day better
Youngboy
But Yes she does :)
Just not true
you also commented this under nella's video 😭😭😭 but it's trew it's trew
Not mine
her honesty is unparalleled how could anyone hate her
She literally said women are superior....
@@nabilion sooooo
@@nabilion she said it in a lighthearted way, you take things too seriously, go outside.
@@kotonibiang2763 that is sexist
@@opaquea2448 Not really. You shouldn’t say that at all even in jest. You would get reprimanded at school and a get a warning at work.
I love her explanation with Cardi.
Normani can pull seductiveness very well but I agree on how she’d fall flat on an aggressive take, and putting Cardi in for that aggressiveness feels really good
She's really hitting them falsettos like it's nothing. Never doubt Normani's vocal ability!!!!
People always say that singers like Normani who usually don't do high powerhouse notes are untalented and that's BS because I wanna hear them sing like that and they'll sound like dying creature
@@HristinaNicole people don't realize how hard it actually is to go into a falsetto note and still be on pitch. Normani's vocal ability is insane.
Dyin creature 🤣🤣🤣Her voice is pleasant.
@@cheyp1220 exactly. They do the same to Normani vocals that they did to Aaliyah And Janet.
@@HristinaNicole all this screams to me is "legend in the making" 😌🔥
Her voice is so soothing, please narrate my life.
not her real voice, she's trying to sound like megan thee stallion.
@@maddiejung974 now you not making any sense. Normani has been speaking the way she has for years, since she was in 5h...
@@maddiejung974 ???
@@melaninatedgoddess3678 No she hasn't, she had a soft eloquent voice back then.
@@maddiejung974 now I just know you the type to get black people with absolutely no identical features mixed up.
she's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment. come on now! normani is a STAR, can't wait for her debut album
I get the hype and I LOVE her, but she needs to put in more work to be labelled a 'Legend'. She could become a Legend later on, but she's not one yet, she just started. We can't be calling every entertainer a Legend just coz we like them so much! Our generation is a joke with how we see things smh😔
@@nakedboy8414 i completely agree with you. i was just quoting a meme video lol
@@a.nnie.m ok cool lol.
I feel like she deserves so much more recognition because she is one of the greatest performers of our generation. Just talented and consistent across the board. Her success is amazing but she is still undermined to the max for the talent, visuals, creativity and quality she gives! A star!
That part, plus her writing isn’t as spectacular as others and she would have to probably get a better management/production team to help push and create unique music.
@darkness it' s unique but i feel like since she is a dark skin black girl it is harder for her also her coming from a girl group background as well also her tracks arent anything special need to hear the album ig
@darkness There’s room for both Chloe and Normani. They both bring different things to the table. I love Normani. I think she is such an amazing performer. I love her voice and cadence. She can dance amazingly too! Chloe has an amazing voice. Her music sounds unique too! And super catchy. Let’s support both of them plz
She sounds so good idc what y’all say Normani is the full package she can sing dance and definitely perform she’s the next big superstar can’t wait for all her success
💯💯💯
💯‼️‼️✨
def..she better act on it !! scared the hype goes to waste
H don’t be scared about a song!! Celebrate!!
she needs to sign to a better label :( she could do SO much better than rca
Normani having insecurities...NO WAY, she's perfection like come on!!!!!
right omg
I blame 5H fans
I blame camilla for that
@@anpatman she who will not be named, this is about queen normani!
Nah she’s like a weak 7/10
Bridges need to come back more often, Normani nailed it, it really feels like a different part but still fitting in the overall feeling. She’s so talented
I really thought I was the only one that thought the bridge was extinct. Songs today rarely have a bridge
and when a song has a bridge it’s always fire and is like the best part of the song
The bridge is usually the best part of the song
her voice is so smooth omfg
She looks so much like princess tiana, especially with that dress! She should play tiana 😭❤
Oh my gosh yes ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Yesss
Or Ryan destiny, she’s actually best friends with her
@@idaf3028 one of them can slay princess tiana role ❤
Camila has got cindrella role (even tho she doesn't look like her at all)
Whereas Mani is a real life Tiana! She should really think about it
The vocals... Normani is ready.
READY TO TAKEOVER
What vocals…
@@colesaintroyll4571 mmk miss vocal coach
Her voice is soooooo BASIC.
@@a.sydney5036 I think you’re actually trying to refer to yourself
Normani is so DAMN talented . She looks absolutely amazing
I beg the differ
wow she can actually sing without auto-tune. rare these days.
She was on the “X factor” ain’t no auto tune for a singing competition
@@jayj8135 In other words , it's not rare.
Why are people so obsessed with auto tune? . And how do you know it's rare ? Have you even heard other artists singing without it ? This claim is just another way to put an artist you love on a higher pedestal.
@@mizzury54 lol ok.
Its really not rare, talented singers are just not as mainstream
I love how she sounds EXACTLY like the record. Straight raw talented vocals. I love black women. Normani is such a motivational woman 🥺🥰
Yeah me too she sounds great!
I hate how slept on Normani is. She has the total package and should be topping charts! This song is my jam and I don't even like Cardi B but she did well on this track.
yeah I'm not a big fan of Cardi but it sounded really nice and her aggression in her verse was very well
Whole song is amazing
I don't think she's slept on, I just think she doesn't have that "it" factor unfortunately. She seems tired and bored in the interview.
@@SunRayBabyJ that’s just how mani is 🤷🏽♀️ she’s a very down to earth chill person
i love her but that's what happens when you disappear for 2 years lmao
she’s an icon a legend and the fact that she sounds EXACTLY like the music video without auto tune is fantastic this is why i love her ❤️
A icon…a legend??? Y’all rush these artists to greatness before it’s their time. She’s really just standing out on her own with only a few hits. How is she a legend already?
@@prettystreetchic Lmao its not that deep
She did say on xfactor “I can show you better than I can tell you” now she doing it all!!!
Normani is an icon we don't deserve. She's a whole package.
Yes and I love this coming from a Taylor Stan cause I love her and I’m a Swiftie
she’s so comfortable within her skin, she doesn’t feel like she needs to be loud & over the top to get attention, she’s got a quiet confidence cause she KNOWS she’s IT without trying to be all extra 🥰 her talent will speak for itself
As a quite girl myself I’d like to say there is nothing wrong with a girl who likes attention and likes to put her personality on display. I admire them and on many occasions I have wished to have their freedom of self expression.
@@nyanzarojas8776 very true! but my comment wasn’t bashing loud girls, i defo like loud people too but some people (like yourself) don’t like the fact they’re quiet (which you should cause being introverted is also amazing 🥰) i’m saying clearly normani is comfortable with the fact she’s more quiet, she doesn’t feel the need to be loud, which you shouldn’t either! you should be comfortable within your more shy personality 💕
Lol really ! That video is half nudes ! If that video didn't come out and the video was good . But other than that it wouldn't have even gotten the attention it did without that video ! U saw the video first ! Enough said ! Like motivation that didn't go no where ! So let's see how far this one goes . Not holding my breath ! God bless !
@Pigga Lover just say you hate black women thriving and go!!
As a quiet girl she's the type of confidence I'm striving for. For me its off and on but hers is continuous and as you said "she knows she's it without trying" that right there is my goal😂💖
She’s effortlessly beautiful and talented.
I'm ready for that Normani and SZA collab!
She has this real pretty vibe to her. Wishing so much success on her !!
Now that I can get behind!
The bridge in the song was just godly. Normani really ate up this entire track and didn't leave not one crumb.
Yessss. The bridge is so amazing
The mic was ON ! Definitely a timeless voice.
Her Voice Thou🥺🥺🥺
She’s sounds soooo good, people need to stop sleeping on Normani, especially her vocals!!
She hitting them notes flawlessly tho 😩 , she’s so talented.
I love this. I hope she has more interviews. Her spirit is so sweet and this shows more of her personality.
She's so artistically inclined. I LOVE IT
I love her voice . She such a rich cool tone to her voice. Makes you want dance but chill out at the same time. NORMANI you are so talented, keep believing in yourself as the nation believes in you. She sings, writes, dance and co-produce, your it girl friend.
This message sent me to tears! It is on point and I hope the world will get to witness what we already know. Thank you!!
Right omg she might not have the most strongest voice, but her voice is very soothing and clear
she is definitely on the path to becoming NOT the next anybody but the next NORMANI!

she’s really on her own path 💅

This this this
Seriously it’s so amazing to see
exactly! as a old harmonizers proud it’s an understatement
She’s such a breath of fresh air. So real and even shouting out the people who helped her with her pandemic baby. Normani knows what she wants and she’s going to get it!! This is her time
I pray you are right! She represents what we stand for Hardwork honesty and Pride! She speaks with Honesty and you can tell she is a True student of DANCE!
She is so damn beautiful
25!!!! She's still so young! I been listening to this like 12 times a day since it came out
She's like a goddess, her visuals are out of this world.
Incredible. So beautiful. Her a capella vocals are unreal. I love how she drops her Southern accent and then switched it up to do Cardi's Bronx accent for the rap
She kinda looks like a dude though

Normani is so beautiful and her voice is so angelic .
she’s a real life chocolate goddess

Normani sounds the same acapella. She never needs a boost through auto tuning.

She’s did song association. It just hasn’t came out yet, but we definitely need these other ones as well! 😩
She's on song association but I dont think it came out yet

Shy ones always the freakiest lol

@Haro Aina thank you
A fellow Gemini yasss
@Haro Aina Gemini’s are born in may and June so 🤷
She wasn’t shy, she wasn’t scared. She told the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Gave her opinion on everything with a relaxed demeanor and looked beautiful the entire time.
There will only be one of her and I mean that. People can slander her all they want and she still wouldn’t care because she’s still smiling. 😆
Looking like Tiana from the Princess and the Frog. 👑🐸
ikrrr, like i've heard some people say that she was "uncomfortable" with the shooting and stuff but i guess they just misunderstood it
Omg yes.. green dress and everything
That pull up in a err, mmm benz verse is my favorite .. I love starrah , she's so good
She’s just so gorgeous
not her being talented and beautiful but also being a GENIUS when it comes to explain the song like damn I genuinely understood the song and i loved all the meanings and behinds the record stories
thiisss
SHE SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!! She deserves way more recognition.
this just made me feel so connected to normani
Normani is such a crush
Her whole look here is Mermaid out of the sea, love It. Also i could listen to her for hours
i've been a fan of her since 5H. i love seeing THIS normani, not afraid of saying what she wants and speaking up. she's gotten so mature. i'm proud of her and i know she'll do more great stuff in the future
CLASSY - TALENTED - HUMBLE... Thank you Normani. Can't wait to see you shine worldwide ✨✨✨✨
That voice. Damn.
As soon as Normani said “I felt like this was an opportunity for people...” I finished “for people to see your god given talents” talents the industry is trying to take away from her. Babygirl is a star 🤩🔥

Her laughter is everything 😭❤️she's just as smooth as she sings😍🔥
Love this genius breakdown! She actually shared info we don’t know about and she just kept giving 🤩💚
