im not going to lie her voice live is calming 😭

I wasn’t gone watch if they didn’t decide to let her perform. That choreography is giving me life and a flashback of the greater time of music, dancing, natural beauty of the 90s &00s

She is criminally underrated and it pisses me off how she’s not a bigger artist. I want her to have a blow up as big as Doja Cat, Meg, and Chloe x Halle. She sings, dances, gorgeous looks, and has amazing personality. The full package that the industry won't let her deliver!!

Her voice is like friggin silk, I literally cannot 😔girl you killed it

Imagine only having days to put this together... Put Normani on every award show!

The fact that RCA records is not taking her seriously is just stupid! Normani has a voice that is not like others who have gone mainstream. And she has a great vision of what performances looks good and how to pull it off.

This woman is an artist...

IT’S THE JANET JACKSON REFERENCE AT THE END FOR ME! She killed it!!

I'm simply amazed that Normani and her team pulled this performance off in ONE WEEK and STILL had one of the BEST performances of the night. Please give us a behind-the-scene video of the work. 💯⭐🔥🔥🔥

UNDERRATED. Her vocal control is insane! and the fact that she can dance?!

Bruh she was fifth harmony and they so didnt deserve her but look at her now shes a fucking star and im loving every bit of it

She's so damn talented. Her voice, her dancing, I shouldn't be surprised. This is Queen Normani we're talking about

The VMAs really thought little of her. She ended being the MOST TALKED ABOUT performer of the night. Even stayed on top of Trending Topics on Twitter. You can’t deny her star power! 🤍

She bounces, she floats, all while serving the vocals. Love Normani.

The vocal was on point. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The Whistle Falsetto on point and the Chorégraphie on Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I give 9,99/10.

The more I watch it, The more I get it. I’m finally understanding her as an artist. People keep saying she needs to find her sound. But she can’t be boxed in. She can do whatever music she wants to. Pop, R&B, Soul, hip hop. Etc

*Normani and Chlöe killed it you literally can't tell me otherwise*

Missing her real bad🥺😔… Music videos & performances just not hitting the same without NORMANI! She tore this UP! 🔥🔥🔥

The industry wasn't ready for her!

The best performance of the night, with only a transparent box as a prop. Normani is beyond captivating on stage, it’s obvious that she puts a lot of thought into EVERYTHING that she does. Nothing about this performance was boring, people are just used to be distracted by other nonsense. They don’t know when a true performer is on stage, if there aren’t flashing lights, props, and upbeat music. Mani and those amazing dancers filled the stage with crisp movements. I didn’t breathe or blink until the performance was over. Every time I see her perform, my eyes never leave the screen. Her whole demeanor changes when she’s on stage. That’s how you know she’s a natural performer, always poised and classy with a dash of sexy. I’ve seen her perform live twice and her mic was always ON.

This performance was PERFECTION. Her breath control, her dancing, her singing, her focus, the outfit, the payed homage to the 90’s and 2000 artists it’s inspired by. Normani baby, you are a absolute POWER HOUSE 🔥 unfuckwitable 🤌🏾 wish her nothing but more success ! Not many can say they can do what she does !

What a performance. Just rewatching them all before the new single and album drop. Go Mani!

I can't express in words how much I love and admire this woman, she deserves all the success in the world for years the industry didn't have such a talented and complete artist. mani understand you are legendary

Even though she had no time to prepare because of short notice, not even time for an elaborate set design and lights like the other artist SHE AND HER DANCERS KILLLLLLLLLLLT IT OMG I'M SO PROUD OF HER SHE IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE!!

NORMANI HAD THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT! Actually executed her choreography. Blessed us with her whistle tone note - BABY GOT RANGE. Trended no.1 worldwide at one point. Best dressed on the red carpet. Now THAT'S how you rise to an occasion. Proud fan. 💕

Her voice is so angelic

Normani is teasing us wit every performance. She’s going to be a legend.

Holy shit, her vocals were INCREDIBLE in this, so stable even with all of the demanding choreography. And the call back to Janet Jackson at the end!! So amazing

She dances like Aaliyah and sounds like Toni Braxton mixed with Brandy!!!! Baby I’m a fan 4 life now!!! I’m 37 this is what I remember as a baby girl watching 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Normani WE NEED MUSIC NOW SIS COME ONNNNNNNN ALREADY

This is the best R&B I've heard in years!👏😥 The choreography, scenery, visuals and support group, everything was captivating!👌😅 Congratulations girl!❤

I love how out of the rest of the disbanded group, Normani has been the one to take the VMA stage multiple times and show case her raw talent. Absolute Queen.

It’s her paying homage to TWO ICONIC QUEENS! Miss Aaliyah and Miss Jackson (if ya nasty) 🙃🔥👑 LETS GO NORMANI!!!!!

She so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

She’s come so far since the group disbanded. She’s still relevant and is doing well for herself. She has an ear for hits

This performance made me breakdown in tears , to honestly see such a humble woman . And her being the the times of 2021 and making us feel like we in 97’ it’s just amazing seeing the futuristic Aaliyah undertones TLC sliver from no scrubs. To Janet. Also being an artist of your OWN! It touches in a real , “ these are my icons . This is what they taught me” really opened doors and also Normani will open doors for others too .

Normani slays everytime I DONT CARE😟she’s a natural born performer

2:37 that high note

and Dopamine is coming this year! can't wait for more live performances!

Her voice control is unbelievable

This was the BEST PERFORMANCE of the evening! Normani is extremely talented!

She’s she fine and BEAUTFUL

I can’t even count how many times I rewatched this…obsessed! 😄

Is anyone else mesmerized by the opening number? The intro instrumental is STUNNING. I want it to be a piece of a song on her upcoming album so badly. Normani's voice is like a chameleon; she can literally do any type of genre.

When they say R&B will never be the same , show em this 🤷🏽‍♀️🔥

Singing live and performing. Yeah she can sing sing. Very talented!!!!

She’s way too underrated, smh!! She’s incredibly TALENTED, gorgeous and knows how to put on a great show💯👏🏻🙌🏻

I feel HER and Chloe after seeing have mercy are changing music again and taking it that next level …. and the fact it’s bringing back that sexy filthy SMOOOOTH RNB vibes back . I’m loving it …. And DOJA CAT Ofcourse 🙌🏼

I still can’t believe she wasn’t going to perform at first . We would of missed this Iconic performance and I’m so glad the Nation and GP fought for her to perform. We love you Normani 🤍

Normani did a great performance she's singing and dancing and not even out of breath thats talent at its best great job young lady

Control voice Is amazing i can't believe this woman on fire 🔥🔥🔥

This entire production and the sound brought me back to the early 90's hiphop RNB vibe!

Normani was the best performance of the night hands down. This is the star quality we have been missing and needing for a long time. Thank You for being You, Mani!

I cant stop watching this.

90s vibe so lovely

She sung LIVE and had one of if not THEE best performance of the night.

Normani delivered a polished, smooth, cool and professional choreography! Whistle Registry was also a treat! Thanks to the fans and artists that stand with Normani to make this happen! Great Job, Normani!👏🏾🥰💐😎

NORMANI JUST POSTED A SNIPPET OF NEW MUSIC ON HER TIKTOK- SHES COMING 2022- ITS HAPPENING

This is hands down one of my top 10 performances of 2021

That whistle was so on point😫😫

ALLL off this in a week??? no cause Normani is that girl, everyone was meh but Normani brought it FULLLY...BEST PERFORMANCE dont lie...and yass she was live

hands down she is bad ass

Normani is exactly what I imagine when I hear the term “pop star” , SUCH AN INSPIRATION

The part with her and Teyana isn’t that bad as everybody was making it seem like, the performance overall it was actually very great. The choreography was on point along with her vocals.

Performance was great and the mic was on. Heard the mic slam the floor. She killed it. So proud of her.

I’m so happy she took her time because she’s really cultivating her own style that is so needed. It shines even as she references people as iconic as Aaliyah and Janet. Her sexuality is expressed in such a sleek, clean, creative way. And the vocals are just plain pretty. I’m in love lol

Best performance I have seen in year's

She's a performer, she is destined to be on the TV screen, she's a dancer I loved it I wish we could hear more of her music because she's destined for success she just is.

The fact that she prepared all this in literally ONE WEEK is insane. We're witnessing a coming up of an icon and a legend y'all. Stand up!!!

That part at 1:51 is so pleasing to the ears and eyes

The choreography on this video is the bomb.

I just want Normani to know I'm here for whenever she's ready to drop the album ❤️

What did Nikki say???? "Normani Is That Bihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" !!! I loved it. This was the best performance. People keep counting her out and she keeps showing up!!!!!!! Yass. I wish nothing but greatness for this talented flawless woman.

I watch this performance weekly.

UNREAL

Her dancing skills are perfection

3:18 had me shook! Damn, she can sing!

She’s my biggest fan I love wild side

I swear if they don't give her AT LEAST a nomination for video of the year at the 2022 awards 😑

She keeps singing amazingly while doing those moves! Wow!

Normani is so talented she deserve all the recognition.

she is so hoot

This woman's cardio is something else.

IT'S THE WHISTLE NOTE FA ME SIS! PLEASE HAVE THEM ON YOUR ALBUM!! LOVE YOU NORMANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Is no one going to talk about the fact the Teyena Taylor is doing justice as well to the janet jackson performance

If she would be more consistent with her music, she would be taking the world by storm. 💕

I LOVE HERRRRRRRRR 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

The only thing that made me excited about the vmas is her and she never disappoints

She killed that shit! Paid homage to Aaliyah! And is being real music back! Sis! Is very talented! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

She’s beautiful 😍 talented chocolate girl God bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜💜💜👑👑👑👑👑

NORMANI, I LOVE YOU BABY 💋❤️

I cannot believe she was singing live.. her control.. oh my god.. I had never really paid attention.. but oh my god.. she isn’t just drop dead gorgeous .. she is so damn talented

Normani absolutely ATE that stage!! Killing her choreo and delivering crystal clear vocals AT THE SAME TIME!! Y'all know that's an elite class of performance. Shout out to some of the world's best dancers for truly supporting this Princess. And that incredible tribute to Janet in this 20th Anniversary of the All For You tour. I simply cannot deal. Normani left me spellbound.

That whistle note!😍🔥

queen of pop actually

Normani really is talented. The vocals and the dance.... Ti at the end was on the wild side for 15secs ... I don't think it deserved that much out rage. She deserves more than she is getting from the industry.

her vocals are so stable

Whew did anyone else fall in love with that man on the right at 1:50? The way my mouth dropped for him, omg

the choreo at 2:37 is ICONIC

Normani KILLED this performance!!! She literally was the best of the night. Also, the MIC was ON!!! Normani you inspire me sooo much and I can't wait until the album drops as well as your 1st tour dates. Edit: Oh wow! Thanks for all the likes. I think this may be my first popular comment. However, to all those saying that the vocals were "pre-recorded" please STOP because it was not. My bestie actually was there in the audience at the VMA show and she confirmed that Normani was singing LIVE with backing tracks (as were most of the VMA performers). Also, if you notice Normani actually messed up the second chorus and sand "we can't just keep taking about it" twice. She didn't pre-record the lyrics wrong. She was SINGING. Oh btw: Here is video EVERYONE should watch. The LIVE vocals of her MIC feed: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pmN_qomskHpzxZc.html
