I honestly don't think she's completely done. She's soooo associated with NOT releasing an album that when/if she actually does it will get a lot of attention (at least initially). The album would have to be really good though.

i feel so bad for her.  she is so much more talented than any of the other gorls in her lane. she already had the pop crowd lined up from 5th harmony.  who ever she is signed too mismanaged her.  she should be where sza is success wise

She don't even have 10% of SZA creativity and talent.

She's just a beautiful black girl who can sing okay and dance. She don't have the "IT" factor in my opinion.

If Chloë didn't make it, I don't see NEVERmani doing better. And I think, talent wise, she's less talented than Chloë too so .... Chances are slim ... We'll see :/

Well to be fair you really can't say if she does or not cause we haven't got a full era to know if she can be creative or not.

I also just meant more so she should have szas popularity. Coming from a major girl group and being the only black girl. She really had all the makings to be the next it girl.

Sadly I think her time is past. She can be the next Laurie Ann Gibson or Fatima .. maybe

Normani just doesn't have IT tbh imo.

The talent is (somewhat) there but there's no allure.

'loe doesn't really have IT either if I'm being completely honest, she'd be nowhere without Bey's backing.

And that's another thing, she relies on a huge budget. It was a beautiful video but they spent a shit ton of money on it. She needs the drive to create art out of nothing too.

This is a topic about her delayed music and you mentioned budget as an issue when:

She had to personally fund the Wild Side video and personally asked for Faces to be on it. :unsure:

Like tf I said, she's relying on a budget and she needs to learn how to create without an exhausting her funds. The music is delayed/non-existent because she feels like everything has to be a big production instead of just being consistent.

So what's the issue then? Did she not cry about not being invited to perform at the VMAs? Did she not cry about the Billboard Awards canceling the performance altogether because Sam was sick? Both in 2019 so it's literally been 5 years of this shit..

Good point. I can give her some grace for expecting the machine to be behind her, she's not a writer (correct me if I'm wrong?) and her foundation was X-Factor. She's used to having traditional Pop music rollout.

Exactly. She had TWO VMA performances as a solo R&B artist with no album in sight. Get out there, PERFORM, and release some EPs or something. :uhh:

Obviously it takes way more than performing at these shows but very few get these opportunities.
