I hope the VMA performance gives this a big boost. Couldn't have come at a better time.

It's not a bad performance, but it does feel like all the pieces were put together at last minute, including the last part with Teyana, which definitely didn't feel organic (as part of the performance). But I will say this: VMA shouldn't have been the first stage where Normani got to perform this song at. Whoever the responsibility goes, she and her team did a terrible, TERRIBLE job promoting her solo singles.

She did well choreo and visually even though it did feel last minute. I do wish she didn't lip especially since here it wasn't good lipping (that whistle note moment was awkward). The bit with Teyana felt unecessary and shoehorned in for shock factor.
It's still one of the better offerings from tonight but definitely wasn't worth the wait and it doesn't capture the same charm as her Motivation performance did.

Easily the second best performance of the night. She brought the stage presence and choreography and had FIERCE moves. Going after Chloe she knew she had to pull out all the stops and she succeeded. Good for her.

I think the reason it all felt put together last minute is because it basically was. It wasn't that long ago Normani confirmed she hadn't even been asked to perform yet. She was likely one of the last performers to be booked and therefore didn't get much time to stitch together something amazing. Also, the Teyana section was... a choice. For what it was, though, it was a fine performance. It's certainly not going to do much for the song itself, though. Poor girl just can't seem to catch a break. Meanwhile, you've got Chloe doing a similar style performance and song with what appeared to be much better support from behind the scenes and more time to prepare. I hate to say it because really there should be room for both of them to coexist, but Chloe just might fill Normani's role in the industry before she gets a chance to fill it herself.

She is such a good dancer my god.
The lipped parts were obvious and the last part was just kind of weird, outside of the dancing I'm disappointed but I guess that's more to do with my thoughts on the song itself.

The last part with Teyana is a tribute to Janet Jackson's "Would You Mind". Very well done!

The performance was lackluster and the ending felt like queerbaiting (not sure if it's the right term) to me to try and get some publicity.
I know it's speculated that it was all very last minute, but again, the general public doesn't care. Her stage presence is still A+ tho. I wish it would hurry up and smash or whatever on Urban so they start making some moves towards the next single.

Iβm more hesitant when it comes to queerbaiting accusations as of late, as some of them leveled at artists like Billie Eilish and Cardi B have been unfair. Weβll see with this one. Artists can explore their sexuality through their performances, so maybe this was a declaration of sorts. Not arguing about it being less than I hoped for though. The added instrumentation felt like a bit much, this song works better in its minimalist original form imo.

I wasn't mad or anything. But I was thinking about it and other than courting controversy there was no point in Teyana being there instead of some dude.
I don't think it's a big deal. Maybe I expected more after she talked about wanting to perform several times. She's done better.
