Nah RCA gave her a smaller budget for the video and the vision she had for the MV called for more money than they provided so she spent like a million dollars to bring her ideas to life and have a greater video
Another fun fact, Cardi B let Normani use or team and they came up with the concept/visual which is why Cardi B was upset when less than 2days after the release Normani said who should be on the next remix Cardi B said well remove me from the song. If she wanted to do a remix where was she gonna get help. A lot of artists won't let you use their people but Cardi B did.
Normani is a naturally sexy woman. Normani is a dancer so she has to wear clothes that shows her dance moves the way she wants them to. In this industry nowadays.. yes sex sells and to have ppl look at your videos , you may have to show a little skin. But Normani has always been proud of her natural figure, she’s never had surgery to look the way that the girls in the industry are looking. She’s a trained dancer & gymnast . Lol she didn’t have to wear a lot of clothing growing up doing that so why should she change that now bc of the way the industry is ?
Best performance, No. 1, by the billboard, streamed No.2 while the VMAs streamed at number 1, and Wild Sid went Gold within two weeks. Great Job Normani with only 6 hours to prepare.
@@LuckyOuijaBoy17 She was honestly looking out for Normani. Bc let’s be clear, Cardi did more for Normani promotion wise with this single, than her tired label did.
Cardi B asked to be in the song one because she's a huge fan of normani's artistry and also because within the industry there are a lot of people who are trying to make sure normani doesn't make it so cardi wanted to make sure normani did really good numbers on this song. Thank you guys for the reaction
The truth about Cardi B is that Cardi and Normani are actually friends and Normani assisted in Cardi B Wap video and Cardi heard Normani track and offered to be on it and Normani took the offer to work with her friend …. I don’t think Cardi part was needed but it was two friends doing a collab React to Normani motivation
cardi actually heard the song and jumped on it last minute. normani was okay with her on it bc this song is meant to be her “grown woman” song. she’s usually chill and uses innuendo when it comes to sexual songs so she liked the juxtaposition between her more subtle lyrics and cardi’s straightforward wordplay.
y’all should react to her songs ‘waves’ and ‘dancing with a stranger’ (which is a duet with sam smith). also, i think it’s completely fine to talk about how attractive they are, just don’t be gross about it and people won’t be mad😭
EXACTLY! I love this song and I love Cardi's part in this. Annoys me when people say she wasn't needed. She did what she does and Normani loved it. And it also does not sound bad at all. Like chill, what is the problem? 🙄😒
@@dreajp the people who say that are barbs so i just tend to ignore them. i don’t even like cardi but i can admit that her verse was fun and stopped the song from sounding too same-y.
@@unpaidwaystarroycointern Which is sad AF but it's whatever 🤷🏾😂. But, exactly it gave it something different and it was great and Normani loved it 😂. So, it's hilarious to hear people talk shit about Cardi's verse.
Yeaasss...That was the point of Cardi. She said things in a more overt way since no one listens to more subtle lyrics right off the bat. Both women are talking about "their wild side" and sexual adjacency but it gets missed.
YESSS!! you’re the only reaction-ers who pointed out the janet/rhythm nation influence in the all black scene! janet is one of normani’s influences for sure, ever since mani performed a tribute for her in 2018 they’ve met multiple times + janet even posted her on her instagram account and told her that she is proud of her and loves her.
I always see Janet in the pose where Norman’s siting with her hand above her head above her head. That pose in the beginning of the red room is straight of a Janet video, just like the bopping head at the end is straight from Aaliyah.
The beat is sampled from Aaliyah's One in a million,its supossed to have a 90s RnB vibe similiar to how TLC,Aaliyah and Destinys child were in the in the 90s prime of Hip HopR&B and dance music(notice the locations and dance formations as well). Hope that helps Im mixed race black and hispanic also gay and grew up with legends like that so might have a cultural advantage there haha. I love this song and really love how it paid homage but also reallybmakes Normani stand out as an artist. RIP AALIYAH and Lisa "Lefteye" Lopez.
They were almost done with this song and Cardi asked to be on it kinda last minute so when someone thinks her part does not fit that well in this song that’s why
She said she paid for a lot of the sets herself, her label is doing her really dirty. They barely let her release her music. She has the same label as Doja cat, and they seem to have put most of their attention on her, Doja is an amazing artist though.
The age of MTv (late 90s on) changed pop music so that pop stars had to look a certain way to be successful. To the detriment of the genre, in my opinion. I'm sure we all missed out on some phenomenal artistry because they weren't "TV friendly". The age of CZcams and artist promoting their own work on line is starting to slowly reverse this. Talented artists are garnering large followings online, regardless of whether they fit a narrow cookie cutter attractiveness, but this bias still exists. Normani is one of the most talented performers in the business, but has had trouble getting industry support and publicity, in my opinion because she is not a light-skinned woman. But not for internet fans, Normani probably would have never gotten her slot on the VMAs and she had the best performance of the night.
True, sexy black women in music of late 2000's all had light skin: Beyonce, Nicki Manji, Rihanna. But, if you look at early 2000s and 90s the black women were all colors just simply hot in their own way!
Lmao stop lying. Normani said SHE ASKED Cardi to be on the song and when cardi did her verse she told her she wanted something nastier so she did another verse and Normani loved it. Stay mad.
@@cutiecute4288 bitch what ? Who’s mad ? And you stop lying . Normani has said repeatedly she wanted to do a song with cardi but after she previewed wild side in feb cardi said she wanted to get on that song . If you can’t comprehend just say that but don’t ever come for me with your lies
We'd like to do more R&B. Pop music is off the charts and what is trending now. But we'd like to dive deeper in the R&B world. If you have any specific artists we need to know, make a list.
@@DAMmusicshow I don’t really listen to a lot of secular R&B, so I’m not familiar with a lot of currently popping artist. I’ve just been a Normani fan since her Fifth Harmony days. I do see people mentioning R&B artist like H.E.R., Chloe x Halle, Sza, Kehlani, & Khalid. Hopefully some other more knowledgeable people can make more recommendations. 😎
We know that they are attractive. No need to mention it. You two don't need to comment on how they look. We're aware of how you men think (no offense honestly). Thanks for the question, hope I answered in a clear and concise way. 🙂
You should react to Hit different then Good days by SZA (the order is pretty important to understand the mechanic of her videos). Her music videos include spirituality with some enigmatic elements. I think your theories would be interesting.
I feel like the guys. Notice they loved it and then when Cardi part comes up one said "here comes the sexual part". I feel the song would have been better without Cardi B, my opinion. I love R&B and it doesn't always need to be mixed with Hip Hop. I agree with him. You can tell he loved the song without the Hip Hop part and I agree. Class is sexy Cardi B doesn't have it! Normani was classy without the Cardi B part. Again, don't come for me, it's my opinion, I have only seen him, I and one other person agree to this in the comments about Cardi's part!
Thank you. We're 2 straight guys talking about how looks impact careers. Particularly women, so it's a tricky subject. We did upload a video discussing a guy named Gary Allan and how his looks helped him. Take a look at that and comment if you are interested.
Fun fact: RCA didn’t want to do a music video for Normani. so Normani spent over 2 million dollars out of her own pocket for this video to be done.
Whoa. That is a fun fact. And a risky one too. Good for her.
Nah RCA gave her a smaller budget for the video and the vision she had for the MV called for more money than they provided so she spent like a million dollars to bring her ideas to life and have a greater video

Who wouldn't want Cardi B on their single with her followers and by the way their friends Normani appeared in WAP.
It's not an anti-Cardi B statement. It's a "does she fit in this particular song?" statement. Cardi B is highly exposed at the moment.
Cardi didn't even want to be on the track originally,it's hilarious to see her flip as it gained popularity for it's Aaliyah and left-eye influences.
@@LuckyOuijaBoy17 She was honestly looking out for Normani. Bc let’s be clear, Cardi did more for Normani promotion wise with this single, than her tired label did.

Normani is not getting the rec she deserves so!!!!!

Normani also song with Sam Smith" Dancing with a Stranger" and Khalid "No Lies" . She was also in the group called Fifth Harmony.
Normani actually don't have the money behind her. she had to use her own money for this video, which is sad.
Seriously? Why... where is the record company?
YESSS!! you’re the only reaction-ers who pointed out the janet/rhythm nation influence in the all black scene!

A lot of Normanis fans didn’t want Cardi on it
This is the first time we've heard this, interesting.
Yeah we didn't 😅 but hey it is what it is
If Cardi wasn't on the record it would have underperformed.
@@mr.checkyourself4672 didn’t they ask cardi to be on it?
@@BiancaMckenzie No
I have no idea aswell why cardi is on it normani only was enough 🤣😂
Agreed. We don't always need Hip Hop mixed with R&B is a great genre on its own!
Normani still would have had our attention regardless!
They were almost done with this song and Cardi asked to be on it kinda last minute so when someone thinks her part does not fit that well in this song that’s why
"That's talent"🤣🤣
Right?!
Guys isn’t crazy that cardi b was pregnant in this video and trying to hide it with her hair 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣
Word
Don’t lie you two are white men and you love watching these women dance especially when it’s sexually motivated…don’t tell your wives 🤫😎
Oh we tell our wives and you’re right
Maybe their wives can't do all of this😂😂😂😂

That's ridiculous. Record labels can be stupid sometimes.
Normani is beautiful 💖 is the star 🌟
Been looking for Normani's reactions for a month now and just only saw this one.

Shes like the Janet Jackson of the 2020s lol
It was the “Olivia Rodriguez” for me 😂
This song sample´s Aaliyah One in a million. Normani got Timbaland´s approval in a reaction video
That's cool. We did not know that.
Cardi asked to be on this song .

I like the honesty from Darren. The beauty thing is a problem coz what about the other people you know
HUGE Thank you. Our primary goal is to be as honest as possible on this show. Thanks so much.
It's a shame that you feel like you need to ask permission to comment on a woman's beauty...it is fine and NORMAL.
Thank you so much. If you read many of the responses about looks, clothing, branding, etc, we often get called sexist.
@@DAMmusicshow I say continue to be who you are. Life is too short to walk on eggshells. And by the way, I am a woman.
