That’s part of performing and while it sucks, she really turned it around and her performances improved incredibly. Now the internet needs to bully her into making a better album because this one is so meh.

she's actually so funny to me

tbh her backup dancers were equally bad

[anna_bea2]

the way they're dancing completely differently from each other is killing me - the blonde is doing a shoulder shimmy and flopping her hands around, Dua is just kind of bopping, the brunette is thrusting her stomach forward and moving one of her arms

I keep thinking the girl on the right is Gina Rodriguez.

Maybe it is. Mama let’s research.

Her album streaming numbers are really bad. These are numbers I expect from someone like Normani since she was gone forever not someone like Dua who just came off such a big era. I hate that i don't like the album more either since future nostalgia was one of my pandemic albums. I played it all the time.

Not looking good for her I fear. Everybody just seems bored of her and the music isn't as good. At least she milked Future Nostalgia for as long as she could.

Apparently she switched from the management team she had for her first two albums to being managed by her dad :(

[ragechill]

Yeah I know and he sucks lmao but it's not just that. Her fanbase should have grown from Future nostalgia for them to have been interested in this album to stream it at least on the first day even if promo was bad. Even if the music isn't hitting as good as it once was, her fanbase should be bigger. This album is predicted to do less in total sales than her last album.

besides her New Rules TM being to be a super spreader during the still ongoing pandemic, I don't mind Dua.

But the person who gave us "Go on girl, give us nothing" has had a bigger impact than she does so far

Honestly since her superspreader holidays I’ve stopped having any time for her.
