@Klorie @Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine??‍♀️??‍♀️B

Did I miss something? Because she is basic and generic. The video proved that. There wasn't one damn thing about that video that was memorable. No one will be talking about it six weeks from now if they are at all today. And who said anything about Normani? I feel the exact same about her. Beautiful girl but she's to wow. Mark my words this song will for sure hit the top 10 (#8, #9 max) which is admirable but not enough to carry an album to long term success and as we know the industry isn't all that forgiven with sophomore albums so the first one has to pop and this just ain't it. We don't live in an era where new artists can come out with a ballad of all things and catch and keep the publics attention enough to reach into their pockets to buy their music.

And as for features - like, let's not act like Bey didn't need Jay to help push Crazy in Love - no one can deny that he was crucial to that composition of that song and it succeeding. Over time they're have been exceptions - Whitney, Mariah, Gaga, Brandy, Ashanti - artists who's first solo single didn't require help but Lauren is just not that artist.
