Still don't know these No Harmony girls but I might start to after seeing those live performances. Wow. They put in serious effort, sounded halfway decent, and did some hot stripper dances. I'll never trash them again.

For a minute, a huge driving force of their (tumblr/twitter) popularity was their status as a group comprised of all WOC.

The editors definitely did a great job making it seem like they have coordination. Good for them and ABC for discovering their skills.

Kinda glad Camilla is gone. She looked too young and it felt perverted watching her try to be sexy this era. She didn't fit in the group aesthetically. Skeletor can go be solo while the girls are permoning at award shows.

When I saw that photo on Twitter earlier, I definitely thought they looked more cohesive aesthetically than they ever did with Camila in it. Seeing the cover of Better Together at the top of the page, I can't help but think how much better that corny photo would have looked without her front and center/in it at all.

I'll probably be into them now. My favorite configurations of girl groups are trios or quartets. Waiting for the new era.

Now that I have finally seen them perform (one song that I sat through on NYE), Camila seemed to be the most integral one, but best of luck to all of the girls.

I'm not normally big on singers quickly spitting out albums without breaks in between, but I think it would be in nu 5H's best interests to release a new song as soon as possible to capitalize on the bit of attention they've gotten out of parting ways with Camila. The same holds for Camila, but I feel that timing is somewhat less pressing with her b/c there's already some built-in expectation and curiosity about her start as a new solo artist, which will linger for longer than for the group - theirs is less curiosity and more people just flat out wondering if they can and will survive.

^ Camila also has 'Bad Things' going for her. Yeah, that's the 'expectation' part of my sentence lol. (And I Know What You Did Last Summer, to a lesser extent.) She's not a proven commodity yet but she's not exactly unproven, either. We just don't know what will happen when she's standing alone.

It wouldn't make sense to change the name. Or find another member. It'd be a headache to do all of that. Just keep on moving!
I think "Tellin' Me" is my favorite 5H song. Can't believe management won't release the studio version. :(

The vocals tonight... Yikes. I think they have great chemistry as a foursome, but the kinks have not been worked out. Totally understand not wasting a promo opportunity, but they were not ready for this yet. Something stripped down a la the 'Billboard: Women In Music' performance might have fared better.

The performance was okay. Vocally only Dinah Jane and Ally are acceptable, but Lauren and Normani are serving some sexy bombs. I love them as a foursome and can't wait for their upcoming concerts in Asia!

Vocally all over the place but I love them as a foursome. I am perched and waiting on that album! They are serving me Danity Kane teas.

Lauren sounded good during the replacement verse. The shade at the beginning though...

The vocals were fine for a pop act. They all need major work on their breath control. They're great acoustically and when there is minimal movement/choreography. The most important thing to take away from the performance is the shade and how dynamic and together they looked as a foursome. Lauren slayed Camila's verse. They could've bothered to do more adlibbing at the climax.
I don't understand saying they weren't ready for this. This was one of their better performances of this song. Let's not act like their performances were great or even good with the original lineup...because they weren't.

Aesthetically, the group works so much better now. Looks like four grown, sexy women instead of four grown women and a little scrawny sister the mom forced them to drag along.
With that being said, Ally needs to work on her live performances/dancing. She always seems off and does way too much vocally without the actual ability. Lauren and Dinah are consistent, and Normani kills the dance routines so all else is forgiven.
If anything they seem more united now, like they all get along now that the evil stepsister is gone.

I'd say Ally is actually one of the stronger vocalists in the group. I do think she doesn't the most with her verse, but I can tell part of it is switching it up to be easier for her due to her breathlessness (poor breath control). Dinah has done the same thing with her part. Now, if they'd just worked on their breath control, they wouldn't need to do all that.
