Aaliyah was such a smooth dancer 😩

looking at the OG, Aaliyah is so damn swift it’s like she’s gliding. I don’t even know anyone who dances with that much EASE today 😮‍💨 but Normani has such a dynamic delivery in her execution! She had the details down and she devoured 😌

This is NOT a shady tweet towards Normani so don’t yall start

Normani doing too much. did you see Aaliyah do all that??? no.

I will say, as a dancer myself. You do have to hit the moves harder in larger venues/spaces. Ima give grace to Normani cuz if she did the smooth style in a stadium like that it wouldn’t look good far away.

"This is not a shady tweet towards Normani" yes It is. You posted a comparison video. You guys been dragging her since the tribute day. That's Normani style. She doesn't have to copy Aaliyah to pay her justice. Shame on you.

Holy fucking shit. This is a TRIBUTE!!!!!!!! She is NOT ment to move identically like Aaliyah. What the actual fuck are we talking about here! This is a TRIBUTE to HONOR Aaliyah and her career. Instead of THANKING all of the talented artists who put in the work you’re comparing?!

I prefer Aaliyah; she makes bare-min effort look good. 😍

Normani and Mya killed it! Normani for the smooth swag and dance moves, and Mya for the vocals!

lol Normani ate that up!!! Seeing it like this makes me realize that Normani is truly a professional dancer—I love this 🫶🏽😌

Essentially Aaliyah preferred to glide while Normani prefers sharp hits. Normani is more modern, while Aaliyah was more 90s/2000s. It's just another case of people only knowing one style of something. And yes, Aaliyah was trained in this style.

She was dancing hard but hey maybe she was excited or maybe it’s just her. I still loved it

To be fair Normani didn’t have a lot of time to prepare to point where it would’ve been super natural. She’s a trained dancer so she’s gonna hit harder than usual. Aaliyah just made it look effortless. Less is more when it comes to her choreography.

Mani does it exactly like the dancers in the video. Obviously Aaliyah had her own swag and made it a lil more her, but Mani def doing it as intended.

The way Normani ate her up 💀 .

So dramatic compared to the smooth and easy way Aaliyah always dance

Aaliyah fans STILL acting weird towards Normani I see. 🤦🏾

How are you NOT embarrassed posting this? Your fave danced like SHIT if you compare her to a well trained dancer. Please take several seats and be glad Normani made people think about her for the first time in 25 years

y’all been shady towards normani from the beginning so much that yall needed to not only do this comparison but add a shady ass remark a whole week later. there were four other performers so why is normani the only one that gets mentioned? i know EXACTLY what y’all are.

She did this dance so wrong

Why are Aaliyah fans so cult like and resentful towards Normani? It’s so strange seeing yall act shady towards someone that looks up to her

My Gurlw used to GLIIIDDDEE wit it .. Didnt She ..✨️👄🖤🤍

Right Normani gives me more Janet than Aaliyah

What people call smooth is her not doing the dance full out, and that’s ok. Norman is doing the dance full out.

Aaliyah tribute deserves better. It was lackluster at best.

Matching the dancers energy, I love me a real dancer!!! Go mani 🫶🏼🔥

Normani is so talented 😍😍

Aaliyah ate this up! 😮‍💨

Not a shady tweet, eh? Yet, the vile Aaliyah stans toward Normani found haven and shelter here to continue their vitriol. Sus

Normani woke that choreo up

Normani is giving Laurie Ann Gibson boom kat 💥

I just wish yall would stop

Both are dope! Normani just came after when hairography became a requirement for female performers.

UNFOLLOWED. This why I stopped supporting Aaliyah you weirdos are a colourist cult being envious of dark skinned black women especially that are flourishing. Don’t be mad at Normani if your fav couldn’t live, respectfully

Normani was giving Normani not Aaliyah the only ones who gave Aaliyah was Ryan Destiny and Mya everybody did a good job though
