One of the strongest tracks on the album. :wub: I like the aesthetics of the video - suits the song nicely! I like the symbolism of the end with the door being left ajar, but really... I'll be amazed if they ever reform. I'm sure they'll stress it's a "hiatus" for a while, but I just don't detect there being any unfinished business here... they really seem to have run their course.

 

Of the four of them, I'm most interested in Normani - I think she has the greatest potential.

Pleased they’re over.

 

Camila was the band. The sales of the last album proved without her they were nothing.

 

The rest of them have zero star quality and come across as being awful bullies.

I’m sorry but calling them ‘Awful’ Bullies’ when you don’t know the full story or know them personally is quite ridiculous ! I also think Normani has a good chance of doing well solo . Possibly Lauren as well with the right material as she’s signed with Columbia Records .

Thats just how they come across to me i’m sure many will disagree but plenty others agree. It always seemed to me the others were jealous of Camila the fact shes gone on to be even bigger as a solo artist than 5H ever were as a band it proves she was the main product. Even Demi Lovato said Camila was the only one who shined and that was right at the start.

Normani already has a hit which is a good sign!

 

Lauren’s singles have flopped so far.

DSYLM is almost top 500 on US iTunes and about #700 on UK iTunes! Better than I hoped!

I disagree that Camila was the band, the other girls had sparkle too, much as I've had small criticisms of them in the past.

 

It is a shame though that the band seems to've been used as an extended launch for her career, the most classically beautiful/cute of the five going on to greater success of the group that was deliberately chosen to have girls of different body types all together, doesn't send a great message.

 

Here's hoping the other girls are able to in some way capitalise on the platform they've had too and build careers at least of some sort for themselves. At least a few of them seem to have been aware for a while that their group had a shelf life.

Let's be real though, that's as being part of a currently successful artist's song.

 

It could put her in good stead when she launches solo material though.

Well like I said you don’t know them or the situation so to call them something so strong as Bullies when there is no evidence of them being so is ridiculous.

Thinking about how the last era flopped....I know ‘Down’ is hardly the best song in terms of hit potential but it’s weird how radio in the UK literally ignored it. I don’t get why Radio One and Capital totally snubbed it, like surely it’d at least get a C-list on Radio One after the three 7/27 singles did well? Their whole last era was handled horrifically, it’s obvious Camila got all the budget. There’s something very strange about it :mellow:

That is what I never understood given how supportive UK radio had finally been with them during 7/27!

It’s because they’d already played it hundreds of time when they’d playlisted Work From Home

I really think they'd have seen a serious turnaround in fortunes for the era had they lead with 'He Like That' instead of 'Down' and released 'Down' as 2nd or 3rd single.

Down was one of the few good things about the whole era

I’m with Jonjo, I would have loved to have seen how the era would have panned out with He Like That as lead. Down is great though, just HLT really does stand out a bit more.

I just feel like HLT would have prevented the whole "weaker/watered down 'Work From Home'" sort of comments (which I believe hindered 'Down' a bit/possibly more than people think) whilst being strong enough to lead in the era.

I'm not convinced. They were always going to struggle for success after Camila left tbh.

I agree with this 100%. .He like that would have been the perfect lead single and I’m confused why it wasn’t . As much as I actually didn’t mind Down it just comepelty killed there momentum as it wasn’t anything special song or video wise and it was basically a watered down Work From Home.

They did not struggle for success because Camila left. Nobody except a handful of gays even knew who she was or cared about her.

 

The reason they struggled is because 'Worh It' and 'Work from Home' were just flash in the pan hits, and not the kind of hits that build a strong following but the kind of middle of the road songs that people hear on the radio and just enjoy. They were lucky and were not meant to last. That's all there is to it.

There just wasn't a spark without Camila... For me the whole self titled album could have been any 4 girls singing mediocre R&B, I know with Camila they were hardly groundbreaking but she was definitely the star. Normani might do OK solo but I can't see any of the others doing much. Camila had the star power, a slightly unusual voice that set the group apart, you knew it was "that girl from 5th Harmony" at least.

 

 

 

*.* I wasn't expecting to see them meeting up with each other! That's sweet to see.

 

When Camila's performance began, the camera went to Normani - who was seen smiling and clapping. :wub:

 

(Not sure if this was the best topic to post this in, I just went for this because it's Fifth Harmony, haha)
