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!
July 27th, 2015 marked three years for the Fifth Harmony girls after being formed as a group during X Factor. So many fond memories from 2012 to 2015 today and I hope all you harmonizers are feeling a little nostalgic knowing how long we've known our girls <3 I've gathered some of the best photos of their career to share with you and I hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone! In this post, I'll be giving you the full details on the upcoming Reflection Tour the girls will be headlining, their opening acts and the previous spring Reflection Tour! This will be the summer edition of the tour and their second leg of the year! After the success of the first leg, why wouldn't they go on for a second leg? Let's go over all the details! (Some of these Images in this post are provided by Gettyimages.ca and they have the best photos, with the exception of the minor watermark they leave on their photos)
Flashback to April 24th, 2015, Fifth Harmony hosted a pool party with fans to make a special announcement that they will be touring in the summer for the second leg of the Reflection Tour, now called The Summer Reflection Tour or Reflection: The Summer Tour. Fifth Harmony and their team felt like they didn't reach every fan in their last tour and wanted to make sure that every fan got a chance to see the girls this time around. This also revealed the art for the Summer Reflection Tour, which can be seen above and below. You can see the opening acts which are Debby Ryan + The Never Ending, Natalie La Rose and Bea Miller, but I'll get to them later in this post.
The Reflection Tour was created originally to promote the girls' debut album Reflection and for Fifth Harmony to meet all of their hard-working harmonizers who have gave them the success Fifth Harmony has achieved. The Reflection Tour was Fifth Harmony's first ever major headlining tour, with opening acts Jasmine V, Mahogany Lox and Jacob Whitesides by the girl group's side to put on a great show. And might I say, the Reflection Tour was a huge success! With harmonizers selling out many venues, over half of the 23-stop tour was sold out! I believe I faintly remember that the tour grossed over $500,000? I know that was the minimum they had achieved but I believe there's more due to sold out VIP tickets and venues. Performances were more than perfection and it was Worth It to see the girls perform. Many songs were adjusted to give audiences more energy and their dance moves are killer. A set-list combined of tracks from their debut EP Better Together and debut album Reflection were performed and it's magic in front of our eyes watching them. Sadly, the tour was mostly exclusive to the U.S. and the only exception was Toronto, Canada. But to anyone that ever missed out on the Reflection Tour, our friends from Yahoo filmed and live stream the girls' concert on March 24, 2015. High quality and clear voices, check it out below! It's amazing, I couldn't even breathe after I finished the whole concert. They're stunning, talented, beautiful and all-kinds of amazing!

By the way, did you see the audience singing Them Girls Be Like at 29:20? Amazing!
Now back to present day, are you harmonizers fans of any of the opening acts? I am, I love all three to be honest! Haha, well I'm not a die-hard fan like I am a harmonizer, but I do try my best to keep up with today's music and up and coming artists. Like I have mentioned above, there will be three main opening acts for the summer tour. Let me give ya'll a brief summary of these opening acts:
Opening Acts
Bea Miller
Any 'fetus' harmonizers here? Remember the old X Factor Days when Fifth Harmony was a contestant competing for that recording contract? Bea Miller was also a contestant and made it to the Top 10 and finished 9th. She is now an up and coming artist who is ready to break into the music industry. Her EP debuted at #64 on the Billboard 200, her debut single Young Blood peaked at #105 on the Billboard Hot 100 and with over 20 million views on YouTube, she is not off to a bad start. Bea will be releasing a full length album on July 24th, in the midst of touring. Hopefully harmonizers will give Bea the love and support they have been giving Fifth Harmony and possibly boost Bea's career into great success. I personally love her latest single Fire N' Gold, she has a beautiful voice and shows why she has gotten far in The X Factor US Season. Check out her music video and buy her music on iTunes!
Natalie La Rose
If you're talking about trends, Netherlands' Natalie La Rose's debut platinum-single Somebody featuring Jeremih is a hot topic to talk about. Grasping #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, getting spot #2 in the UK and over 85 million views on YouTube, Natalie is making a name for herself in this industry. Natalie La Rose only released one single to achieve a great amount of success and the world is waiting to see what else she has in store for them because she's only gotten started. By attending the Summer Reflection Tour, it's possible we can get to hear Natalie's future songs that may be on her future album. Can't wait to hear what she has to offer in the tour!
If you're ever wondering how she may know Fifth Harmony, they did perform at the 2015 Radio Disney Music Awards consecutively. So they may have had a chance to get acquainted with each other before taking the stage.
Check out her music video of her debut single below!
Debby Ryan + The Never Ending
Recognize Debby Ryan? The Disney Channel Actress has become quite a talented star, becoming both an actress and a sensational singer. Debby Ryan has an awesome voice and singing on shows and movies she has starred in, Debby Ryan decided to form a secret band in 2012. The band became public near the end of 2013. During the course of 2014, the band has released many singles and debuted Mulholland Drive as their first single. They soon released their debut EP on June 24th, 2014. Hoping to become big in the music industry, the band is currently working on their full-length album and writing new songs. Hopefully, with the help of harmonizers, The Never Ending can become successful. Listen to their debut single Mulholland Drive below!

What do I think will be changed for this summer's Reflection Tour?
I believe that the set-list for the upcoming tour will be different for Fifth Harmony. Most of the songs will probably be from the album Reflection but we never know if the set list will have the same songs. Could they possibly be ready to perform live versions of Them Girls Be Like or Body Rock? There is a possibility and it'll give us something new to watch.
We can also expect some new covers of today's hits. I'm sure there'll be new covers that could be performed, just like Take Me to Church, and we have never heard from them. It'll be a refresher to hear new spins on big hits
One thing I had in mind are different songs from their EP Better Together. I think we may get a chance to hear Leave My Heart Out of This, Don't Wanna Dance Alone or even Me & My Girls. We never know, there's a chance these songs will be performed
New dance moves? I've seen some pics the girls have shown, rehearsing choreography with their choreographer before their upcoming tour. Maybe they're rehearsing the same dance moves, but who knows!
Again, I faintly remember the girls possibly saying that this leg of the tour may be better than the last one and they could be pumping up for a bigger and better show. Can you guess what changes Fifth Harmony may be doing for the tour?

Throwback to our beautiful girls one year ago when they were touring in one of their own mini-tours for fans (either the Worst Kept Secret Tour or 5th Times a Charm Tour).
Hey everyone! After a trip to the UK, Fifth Harmony are back to make several appearances around America before starting the Summer Reflection Tour (Which I'll be posting about this in July)! But, there's just one thing I forgot to mention during the girls' time at the UK..... They hung out with Little Mix! It's so cool seeing these two girl groups together, who have both faced huge amounts of success in their careers. The problem that is still occurring today is the fandom feud between mixers and harmonizers. I can promise you that on every Little Mix and Fifth Harmony video, you see something like "Little Mix is better" on a 5H Video or you see "Fifth Harmony is better" on a LM video. In this post, I'll be writing about both girl groups, the fandoms, the similarities and the differences. Hope you enjoy!
So during early 2013, the two girl groups hadn't made direct contact and haven't met each other yet. The only time at all when they even gave a glimpse at each other was at the Kids Choice Awards. Lauren mentioned that the two girl groups happily waved at each other from a distance but that was about as close they were to meeting the UK girls.
But they did meet up for a quick photo with Little Mix and Demi Lovato at the Teen Choice Awards in late 2013:
It wasn't until the Demi Lovato's Neon Lights Tour that they became formerly introduced to each other as the opening acts for Demi Lovato. I can imagine the two girl groups hanging out in between sound checks, eating food and travelling towards new pit stops of the tour. Check out the two girl groups on Fuse, interviewing each other (and a picture to go along their time they had to hang out with each other)

Neon Lights Tour Photo (Hanging Out Together)
After I'm sure that the two girl groups, Demi Lovato and other opening acts had tons of time getting acquainted with one another, they're all friends. Little Mix had barely shown up to America ever since the Neon Lights Tour, as they released the single Salute and headlined their second tour The Salute Tour in support of their second album. Touring from mid-May to the end of July all around Europe, Little Mix had been putting on great shows and were headed to America after their European leg of the tour. But sadly, they never appeared in America for the second leg due to decisions to cancel the North America leg of the tour because they wanted to work on their third album. All is forgiven when they still made appearances in the U.S. and Canada to perform a couple songs, but never met up with 5H for the time being.
Before Fifth Harmony's UK Trip at the end of May, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony never saw each other for the four months in the beginning of 2015. They did talk about one another in interviews when they were asked a question about the opposing group. Here's an example of Little Mix talking about Fifth Harmony:
Words of wisdom from Jesy and Leigh-Anne. There's no comparison to make because both girl groups are completely different. Same with Normani Kordei Hamilton, who shot down the rumoured rivalry between the two girl groups in Fifth Harmony's Sugarscape Interview. Click the link to see the interview.
As Normani said, "There is no competition... People try to make it out to be girls against girls but both of us (as groups) are all about girl power, empowering women to stick up for each other and support each other. That's what we do."
Harmonizers and Mixers have been going at it probably ever since Fifth Harmony was formed on the X Factor U.S. Season 2 in 2012 (There is actually no real evidence because anyone can say anything at any given time, really....). It's always 'Little Mix is Better!' or 'Fifth Harmony is Better!' and to all
my 'in-betweeners', I get how annoying it is that fandoms always compare. Fans go as far as being rude and cussing about the girl group they hate and influence other fans to do the same. It isn't right to be calling women 'names' (I don't want to use bad language....) and think it's alright. People use derogatory terms that they don't know what the definition is (the truth!). Feuds between fandoms eventually extend to other fandoms as well, and you may as well call it 'Modern Society's World War III'.........
Personally, I think this fandom feud is idiotic. It really has gone too far because people are really not smart enough to be more optimistic about things. If you don't like something, then don't care about it! Simple as that. Leave what you hate alone, and just surround yourself with things that you love. It's a waste of your time to focus on things that aren't important in your life, to be honest. Hear me out: If I'm a Harmonizer, why should I waste my time trying to convince a mixer that Little Mix sucks (which they don't!)? Same thing when I'm a mixer, it doesn't make sense to complain about Fifth Harmony to harmonizers.
Fifth Harmony and Little Mix are friends in real life. Why can't harmonizers and mixers be friends too? Both Girl Groups are unique in their own ways. They have different outfits, different voices and different managements. One thing they do have in common: empowering youth around the world. Smarten up all you haters and learn to love both groups!
Thanks so much for taking your time to read this super long post. I appreciate all your love and support. Here's a photo of 5H and LM to enjoy back in Fifth Harmony's trip to the UK early June this month! #BuyWorthItoniTunes #BuyBlackMagiconiTunes
Little Mix is coming in hot with their brand new single Black Magic!
This long anticipated single is the very start of Little Mix fighting back into the music industry. After cancelling the North American Tour, Little Mix planned on working on their third album for the rest of 2014 after the Tour ended in Europe and also continued working through early 2015. It was then in April that Little Mix's newest song was getting some much-needed attention for the girls this year.
My Review: I think that this song is like an every-day school girl song. It has the bubble-gum pop vibe that most young-girls love to listen to and this song really separates from the many RnB singles Little Mix have had. It's hard to tell if this song will be the girls' breakthough in America, but its really catchy and I hope America will get to love Little Mix as much as they do Fifth Harmony :)
