Normani’s ‘walk’ on The Jennifer Hudson Show gets a big NO

1 Views

Normani recently made an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. While the main focus of the show is more on passage walks than the interviews, her “walk” had most fans disappointed. As part of the show’s tradition, guests are welcomed with a musical passage walk, where the staff get together on either side of the lengthy hallway and cheer them on and make them feel special as they make their way to the main stage. But when Normani hit the floor, things didn’t go quite as expected.

Dancing to ‘Wild Side’… but It Didn’t Land

Instead of doing a simple walk with a bit of a twirl like most guests do, Normani took a different approach. She chose to do a full-blown dance routine as she moved up and down the passage as they sang her own song “Wild Side” featuring Cardi B. She was wearing a brown leather suit paired with high heels, as she moved, dropping her body up and down. But fans were quick to criticise her performance, saying it felt overdone and out of sync with the vibe.

Fans React to Normani’s ‘walk’

On a TikTok video posted by the Jennifer Hudson show page, some social media users felt she was “trying too hard to impress”, with dance moves that seemed off-beat and disconnected from what the staff was singing to her. The comments section was flooded with mixed. Here is what fans had to say:

@IamSierraJayy🪷🩺: “The beginning was a mess Lmaoo I’m overstimulated”
@Yunus: “She doing way too much for what’s being sung here.”
@Smart Mouth: “Gurl stop just walk it’s okay.”
@Shazz Thandeka Mvule: “She’s doing too much.”
@user5215840951867: “If only she’d put that same energy into releasing new music.”
@almira: “That was a mess.”
@user6247931791672: “Normani you didn’t even need to do all that.”

What is going on in Normani’s life?

According to fan reactions, this may have been the worst passage entrance ever seen on the show, Some even started criticising her music career, with one user saying she should put that same energy into releasing new music. And they may have a point—Normani hasn’t dropped a full studio album yet, and her last major single, “Fair,” came out in March 2022. When she cut ties with Fifth Harmony, it seemed as if she was going to take the music world by storm but instead, she seems to be letting her fans down.

Normani recently announced her engagement to NFL wide receiver DK Metcalf. The couple began dating in 2022 and confirmed their relationship in July 2023. Fans are excited about the wedding content.

What do you think? Was Normani just having fun, or was this ‘walk’ a bit too wild for daytime TV?
