Fifth Harmony's Billboard Women In Music Performance Proves They're Worth It

 

 Hope you enjoy this beautiful medley and performance by our very own talented girls of Fifth Harmony

'I Know What You Did Last Summer' is on a roll, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello promoting the single for the upcoming weeks!

Who doesn't love 'I Know What You Did Last Summer'? This single has got the Mendes Army and Harmonizers going crazy, creating buzz all around the music industry. In order to make this collaboration a success, both Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello need to do a lot of promoting to make this song a hit. And it seems as though that is what they are up to, going to several radio stations to attend interviews and perform the single live on talk shows. In one of the upcoming Jingle Balls this year, both Fifth Harmony and Shawn Mendes will be present. Cabello and Mendes both confirmed they would perform the single at the Jingle Ball they were both attending, because.... well, why not? Here's an update of what has happened so far!

So at the end of October and the early weeks this November, both singers began to tease their collaboration! After several sneak peeks to build up for the release of the single(which you can check out here from one of my early posts: Sneak Peeks), the collaborative single was released November 18th, 2015. The single peaked all the way to the Top 10 and jumped from all different kinds of spots ranging from #1 to 10. Sadly, due to the release of One Direction, Adele and Justin Bieber's albums, the single dropped down to the Top 20s and 30s because of the several array of songs those artists have released.

Reasons why Fifth Harmony will be honoured as "Group of the Year" at Billboard Women in Music

• Their music is fierce and sassy, embracing their own sexuality and being confident in their-selves

Fifth Harmony  released their debut album Reflection worldwide in early 2015 and in the U.K. in the summer this year. Their album includes many female empowerment tracks such as BO$$, Worth It, Reflection and Suga Mama. Other inspiring tracks for all individuals includes This Is How We Roll and 'Brave Honest Beautiful'. Throughout all of their songs, Fifth Harmony encourages their harmonizers and all individuals to not shy away from who they are. The girls make the most out of their songs by making their tracks realistic and relatable. Relating to the double standards for women in the world, wanting or looking for love, hanging out with friends or standing up for yourself, all of these topics are thoroughly covered in their full-length debut album. Give it a listen if you haven't already and check out the music video of BO$$ to see their empowering minds at work.

• Fifth Harmony supports feminism and empower all youth and individuals to be themselves

 

When it comes to their fans the harmonizers, Fifth Harmony cares deeply about them and all their supporters. This can be demonstrated through their partnership with Do Something in 2014. In collaboration with the release of their single BO$$, Fifth Harmony and Do Something instilled confidence into individuals to give them the opportunity to own up to their unique qualities which make them who they are. They wanted individuals to share to the world what makes them confident and strong. Fifth Harmony's work to support their fans and individuals around them was continued this year when they were announced as ambassadors for the Cybersmile Foundation. By becoming a part of Cybersmile, they show their support of anti-cyberbullying initiatives and help victims who are facing bullying online.

Fifth harmony cares deeply about their fans and among some of the most kindest celebrities who continue to show love to their beloved fans.

 



• Fifth Harmony were the first girl group to reach the Top 15 in the Billboard Hot 100 with their song Worth It since the Pussycat Dolls in 2009 (with their single Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny))

Fifth Harmony continued to grow increasingly popular in early 2015, but it wasn't until the official release of their single Worth It in March 2015 is when they became international pop stars. Fifth Harmony began to chart in international charts they have never reached before and all harmonizers were amazed at the girls' success. By June 2015, Worth It has surpassed their previous singles' peaks on the Billboard Hot 100 and accumulated to the Top 15 at #12! As said above, a girl group hasn't reached the top 15 since 2009! This was a breakthrough for this generation of girl groups. This keeps us wondering, will popular girl groups like 5H and Little Mix continue to further the success of girl groups in this new generation of girl groups?

• Fifth Harmony have been certified one multi-platinum single and two platinum singles in one year

Fifth Harmony faces a rare occasion in the music industry where they received four certifications in just one year! Worth It, BO$$ and Sledgehammer were all certified platinum in June 2015. It only took two months for Worth It to accumulate another million copies sold to be certified multi-platinum! During that time in August 2015, they were only one of seven artists to be certified multi-platinum in America in 2015. Of course that will change as other artists' singles become popular as well and have the opportunity to achieve multi-platinum as well, but WOW! They will probably be the only girl group this year to achieve multi-platinum in America.

• They have a 4x Vevo Certification for over 400 million views of their music video for Worth It.

With their music video released at the end of March 2015, Fifth Harmony took the world by storm with their empowering music. With over 400 million views in just 7 and a half months, their music video became the most-watched music video from any girl group in the world! This beats out several K-Pop and J-Pop girl groups as well!

These are all my reasons on why Fifth Harmony are being honoured as "Group of the Year". If you have any other suggestions for reasons why they are being honoured, please let me know and I'll add it!

#PrayforParis, #PrayfortheWorld

It is truly a tragedy. What happened on Friday, November 13th, 2015, will not be forgotten. As I further my knowledge on what has happened in the event, I'm whelming up with tears. Imagining if I were in the Paris civilians' perspective and positions, I would be traumatized for life. It's completely devastating to learn how we humans cannot learn to walk this earth together. To breathe the same air, to live in the same world, why must problems be encountered with violence? Why must people be so cruel and inhumane towards innocent citizens? All of those citizens were living life to the fullest. Hanging out on a lovely Friday evening, enjoying a glass of beer with friends, dining out with acquaintances and rocking out to their favourite rock band, all of those innocent civilians were just enjoying their lives. Why must they be punished, simply because others weren't happy with their lives?

Not only was Paris struck with a catastrophe, but many other places in the world also face a tragedy. With Japan affected by an earthquake and bombings terrorize Lebanon, it is clear that the generation and decade we are living in has not changed from the past. There are many more places in the world that I have yet to mention, only because I need to further my knowledge on these current tragedies. Although I may not know as much I should right now, I want to encourage you to keep up on the current events. You may not live in the current tragedy some unfortunate civilians are facing, we all live in the same world. We cannot think that we are still safe with terrorism and natural disasters continuing to overtake humanity. Further your knowledge on these current tragedies and help support those who are struggling. #PrayforParis #PrayfortheWorld

Fifth Harmony were in Europe for a short amount of time at the end of October and the beginning of November. They were lucky to have timed their stay in Europe correctly, because they would have been in danger due to their concert in Paris, France on November 9th, 2015. Had they performed on November 13th, who knows if the girls and their devoted harmonizers would have faced the same fate as the rock band Eagles of Death Metal and their fans had encountered.

Celebrities all over the world, like Fifth Harmony, are showing their support to Paris and other countries currently living in devastation. Show your support. We are all the same people and in order to get through life, we must stick together and face tragedies and catastrophic events as we stand together.

I'm In Love With A Monster: Fifth Harmony's Latest Music (My Review)

Hey everyone! I apologize for being away from my blog for a little while but I'd like to thank ya'll for the constant views every day and I've reached over 5800 views thus far! Now that I'm back, Fifth Harmony has been killin' it lately. From performances at Reflection: The Summer Tour and other live events, to releasing two singles and two music videos and once again capturing Awards, Fifth Harmony has made it known that their careers are just gettin' started! In this post, I wanna talk about I'm In Love With A Monster. While you read this post, PLEASE read the whole post before thinking I am criticizing too harsh or I'm hatin. I have reasons and they are explained throughout the post. Enjoy my review!

One of the newest thrilling and spooky track released by the girl group as the main theme for Hotel Transylvania 2, Fifth Harmony is well on their way of expanding to different kinds of listeners. Kids will be accompanied by their guardians to see the kid-friendly movie and with the song to be featured in the movie, viewers may likely buy the Hotel Transylvania 2 Song......? Is there a reason not to? Let me break down the song and what I think of all this production and commotion for the Hotel Transylvania 2 promotional track.

First off, the song is hell-of-a-lot better than half of the songs Fifth Harmony has released. Why you may ask? The song actually lets our beautiful-ears be blessed with ALL of the voices of the girls in Fifth Harmony. Finally, management and production finally make sure all of the girls are heard. But there's one obvious mistake in this single after you hear the whole song. Lauren has way too much solos in this song. Maybe it's to forgive that she didn't get solos in 5H's most successful single to date, but Dinah didn't get a solo in BO$$ nor Sledgehammer and she was only heard in Worth It for 30 seconds. Here's how I'm In Love With A Monster has been split up in terms of time to each of the girls, according to harmonizer fans on twitter:
Lauren: 1 minute and 25 seconds Camila: 21 seconds Ally: 15 seconds Dinah: 14 Seconds Normani: 10 Seconds
I understand all you Lauren fans adore Lauren and this is great that she got to shine, but Lauren getting a solo during the first verse AND the bridge is ridiculous. Lauren's voice is also overpowered in harmonies during the chorus. Please explain why Normani and Dinah had to share a verse. Lauren, Camila and Ally all got verses and it makes no sense why Normani and Dinah couldn't get solos as well. Just give the bridge Lauren sang to Dinah and leave the first part of the second verse to Normani please.

Now down to the voices, all of the girls vocals are spot on. Despite my complaint of how terrible they split up the song, Lauren's voice does suit the song a lot. Her voice is 'smoky' and raspy and fits the mysterious and haunting atmosphere. Camila's voice definitely goes along with the pop song. She definitely adds a little fun to the single when showcases her unique voice. Dinah! She has such an amazing voice and she could possibly challenge Beyoncé or Christina Aguilera in a vocal battle because her voice is 'up there' with those powerful vocalists. Dinah's voice suits the song and the way she says monster fits the song. Although Normani is only heard 10 seconds in the song and a little in harmonies, Normani uses the time she had effectively. The small verse shows off everything in Normani's voice. From belting notes to small little riffs and runs, Normani can still put on a show with such a small amount time. Ally brings on the sass in this single. Her voice is really powerful and all you have is her voice cutting through the track, bringing more energy to the song. Overall, vocals are on point!


For lyrics, I find it fun and entertaining. This is probably one of the only times Fifth Harmony will make a song that doesn't have some kind of deep emotional meaning behind it. This song just means that some girls like bad boys or some guys like bad girls. That's all there is to it. If you're looking for more inspirational songs, listen to more of Fifth Harmony's other songs.

The music video is honestly so good. Camila named this music video her favourite one yet to make, as they let loose and become fun 'characters'. They flirt with all kinds of monsters and show off some great group choreography. They all know how to act in a way that fits with the song and the scenes. Lauren is especially mysterious with her beautiful eyes looking into the camera ;) <3


Overall, I'd give this song a 4 out of 5. The vocals are spot on and the music video is great and very 'child-friendly', but the way they split up the song among 5 vocalists is very weird. But amazing song and make sure to buy the single on iTunes and check out the music video below! Thanks for checking out my review!

Worth It Update #11: August 1st, 2015 to August 6th, 2015

Hey everyone! Here's the Worth It Update for this week covering from August 1st to August 6th, 2015! August marks the 6th-7th month Worth It has been out for and it was definitely a long trek to success. I feel as if Worth It may have reached it's limits, but I'll let the charts below give you the insight on the future of the single. I hope this'll help you keep up with the ongoing success of Worth It! Enjoy!

American Charts (Billboard)
Here are the chart positions for Worth It on the American Billboard Charts:

Charts 'Worth It' has shown an increase in position 

Billboard Pop Songs: #5 to #4 (New Peak!)

Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #10 to #8 (New Peak!)

Billboard 'Songs of the Summer' Chart: #15 to #14 (Re-Peak)

Billboard Adult Pop Songs: #24 to #22 (New Peak!)

Charts 'Worth It' Hasn't Changed Positions

Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay: #8

Billboard Radio Songs: #10 (Three Weeks Straight)

 

Charts 'Worth It' has shown a decrease in position

Billboard Hot 100: #12 to #15

Billboard Digital Songs: #14 to #15

Billboard Streaming Songs: #13 to #15

Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #7 to #17

Billboard On-Demand Songs: #20 to #24

Billboard Rhythmic Songs: #19 to Un-Specified (Dropped Below Top 20)

 

The decrease in 10 spots on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks  chart is a clear example of how the popularity of Worth It is dying down. There are more 'decreases' on the Billboard Charts than usual and it does look like the single may be falling out of the loop. The 'increases' on some of the Billboard Charts barely show any difference from last week with a 1 or 2 spot difference. The single is definitely still a hit, but there's no telling if the song can hold its own on the charts before new singles from various different artists start to takeover.
