Hey everyone! I've created this blog to share my love and passion for Fifth Harmony. I've been with them since X Factor and it's so beautiful seeing them transform as grown women slaying the music industry. Keep up with this blog for everyday-Fifth Harmony posts :D Please come back for more posts!
On the February 16th, 2016 edition of the Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, Camila performed with the sweet and kind Shawn Mendes, who earlier apologized to Ellen for not thanking her at the People's Choice. Ellen didn't even expect him to apologize or anything or to even think about thanking her for his win, and a lot of people in the crowd just fell in love with how humble Shawn was.
Back to Camila, this is her first appearance on Ellen without fellow Fifth Harmony members Ally, Normani, Lauren and Dinah. Camila and Shawn performed their collaborative Top 20 hit 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and put on a fun performance for the audience. Check out the interview with Shawn Mendes and the performance!
Interview With Shawn
'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Performance (Camila & Shawn)
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!
Hey everyone! In this post, I'll be going over all the latest news regarding Fifth Harmony. I thought that individually, all these minor news reports wouldn't require a full-on blog post so I'm combining them all together here to make it quick and easy. Enjoy!
Premios Juventud (Awards Show)
On June 10th 2015, it was announced that Fifth Harmony was taking their dance moves and musical talents to the 11th Annual Premios Juventud Awards Show on July 16, 2015! Premios Juventud is an awards show for Spanish-Speaking celebrities in areas of film, music, sports, fashion and pop culture. Past winners include Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Antonio Banderas and Juanes. I can imagine Fifth Harmony may be performing Worth It, or even better, performing in Spanish or performing a newly announced single! I can't wait for them to perform! They always have the best live performances and they're always so stunning to watch.
Fifth Harmony will be performing tonight on the late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Performing hit single Worth It, the girls may be able to introduce the single to many more viewers and wide-spread audiences who watch Jimmy Kimmel Live. The girls will slay, so you better tune in tonight!
Hotel Transylvania 2
Just announced June 16, 2015, the girls are introducing a new single called I'm in Love With a Monster for the upcoming animated film Hotel Transylvania 2. Minor parts of the song can be heard throughout the first half of the trailer, but you can listen the full song after it is released next month (which I believe is July 7, 2015?). I'm already in love with Lauren's part <3
Watch the trailer and listen closely around 0:48 to 1:20.
Disney's New Princess: Moana
Remember the post I did about the rumour that Dinah Jane Hansen could be voicing Disney's next Polynesian Princess Moana? Rumours have been confirmed that Dinah Jane had actually auditioned for the part and she's hoping to hear back soon! " I'm crossing my fingers .. My hair.. My eyes hoping I get it thanks I appreciate you "
The role is absolutely perfect because the animated film is a musical, and Dinah Jane has a killer voice! I think I read somewhere that a guy said one of the 5H members was being taught how to act and I bet that'd be Dinah Jane.
If our girl lands the role, she has at least a year and a couple months to voice Moana here and there. I can't wait to find out who plays Moana! The film will be released in November 23, 2016 but keep your eyes open for any news surrounding the new Disney Animated Film!
Next Shows and Appearances (In June)
Here are dates to some of the next shows Fifth Harmony has set for the future: June 18: Jimmy Kimmel Live (Los Angeles, CA) June 20: 2015 B96 Pepsi Summer Bash (Bridgeview, IL) June 23: San Diego County Fair (Del Mar, CA) June 24: Live with Kelly & Michael (New York, NY) June 28: Show of the Summer 2015 (Hershey, PA) July 15: 98.9 Radio Now Summer Beat (Louisville, KY) July 16: Premios Juventud (Coral Gables, FL) July 17: Fifth Harmony's First Summer Reflection Tour Show!

Hope you enjoyed my post and I'll be back soon to blog more! Thanks!
Well, instead of anxiously waiting for time to go by and write my next post, here's a fun fact to keep you happy until next time!
Did you know that Worth it was originally supposed to be just Kid Ink's single? Is it a miracle that Fifth Harmony's greatest hit wasn't even supposed to be their's in the first place? My only concern with this little fact is that there were only three writers. Two of which never wrote any other single but Worth it for their album and a singer-songwriter Priscilla Renea wrote Worth it and Going Nowhere. But Going Nowhere is a deluxe song and since deluxe songs never turn into singles, Renea has no other songs to credit as her work from the album. With the increasing success of this single, will any of their other song reach this amount of success without the same writers and producers? Only time will tell :)
Worth It has shown tremendous success so far! After June, I'm pretty sure 5H will be dropping hints on which single will be their fourth single from the album Reflection. In this post, I'll be giving my song-to-song review of the singles of the regular album of the Reflection! (Sorry, can't do deluxe because singles usually aren't formed from the deluxe album)
1. Top Down
Top Down starts off the album in a nice pop-introduction. It's pretty catchy and the song lasts for 3 minutes and 40 seconds. The song fulfills the listener's need of listening to a mashup of different instruments, with electric guitars and saxophones blazing through the song. This song is a good-song all around, but I think it's missing a quality. I love it when they perform Top Down live and it adds some energy to the crowd. The only part I wonder is if this song is catchy enough to catch on to not just harmonizers, but everyone around the world. I think this song would be pretty boring after hearing it for a second time and I'd want to listen to some more upbeat-catchy songs like Worth It. This song is great for the album but I just don't feel it when it comes to Top Down being one of their hit singles.
Rating: 3.5/5 2. This is How We Roll This is How We Roll, as many would think, is really a similar tune to Scream & Shout. Sure, the verses have the same beat but I think Fifth Harmony's song shows more vocal range than Britney ever showed on her single. I think This is How We Roll has that catchy anthem many people would want to jam out with their friend with at a party. I especially love Ally singing that bridge, it's always that moment in a song where artists slow down the track before a huge belt. When you think the song is enough, Camila just sucks you back in with her voice just electrifying the song and you get the chills as they finish their last chorus. I definitely see a lot of potential for this song, but its hard to tell if it will break the record that Worth It has left for the girls.
Rating: 4.5/5
3. Everlasting Love Everlasting Love is like a pop-ballad that pleases listeners with the theme of love. There's just something to really love about this single. Lauren's Voice? The beautiful chorus? The repetition in some lines? I'm not sure but if Fifth Harmony ever wants to go from their pop anthems BO$$ and Worth it to a more settle-ballad song, Everlasting Love would be the direction to take.
Rating: 4/5 4. Like Mariah Like Mariah is one hell of a single, I won't lie. With every girl shining in their own way in different parts of the song, its seems like management finally got the solo distribution right in the group! Its just the right amount we all need to hear from the girls individually. I think there's not as much harmonies as I like, but the Always Be My Baby sample sure does satisf us with some unified voices. I love it when they perform this song live and it gives the audience the energy they need in live concerts. When they get down and do some dance moves during Tyga's rapping, that's when the audience really goes wild! (The Video below contains a performance of Like Mariah AND a Mariah Carey Medley, so skip half of it if you just want to see Like Mariah)
Rating: 4/5 5. Them Girls Be Like
I'm not the greatest fan of this song and I'm sure some might agree. This gathers in all of the modern-day themes of a girl and is presented to us in many verses. Taking selfies, looking at yourself in the mirror and doing things on your phone, maybe many girls can relate to this? There's just something in this song that is clearly lacking for me. There is no shining moment in the girls voices and it all feels a little boring after the first half of the song. I like the bridge before the final chorus but that's about it. Nothing really special to it.
Rating: 3/5 6. Reflection
The girls slay Reflection live most of the time. When I first heard them perform the song live, they are so captivating! They got all their dance moves down and sass the heck out of the performance. The track is definitely a lot better live because the instruments seem more powerful and energetic than the song in the album. This could be a great pop anthem for people to rock out to and ironically, Reflection is the name of the album. Doesn't that show some significance for Reflection? My one problem, would be the relatability to guys. I mean, I enjoy it but will guys my age find any interest in girls empowering other girls?
Rating: 4/5 7. Suga Mama Suga Mama is definitely a thrilling song and it is very sassy. It's got an addictive beat to listen to I have no problem with hearing it more than once. Like most of their songs, it is very catchy to listen to. I don't see it being a single though. I believe that it's more like a song that stuns the audience during concerts, I'm not sure if I'd listen to it on the radio.
Rating: 3.5/5 8. We Know We Know was one of the songs performed right after the release of BO$$. I remember how ecstatic I was to listen to We Know the first time and I think the girls really dig into their vocals and show off a great sound. When I hear it live and acoustic in interviews, I'm just very mesmerized. Their harmonies are spot on with each other and I think people will grow to love this song. The one problem I have with this song is the kind of ballad-mood that just doesn't get me going. If we want to continue the streak of rocking-upbeat pop singles, I wouldn't recommend this as a single.
Rating: 4/5
I think it's safe to say that it'll be between Like Mariah and This is How We Roll. They're both great pop songs, but they have completely different sounds. What do you think should be their next single?
Until next time, see you later and I hope you enjoyed this post!
thanks I appreciate you
