<p>Normani, who is a former member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, made her first solo performance since leaving the group and really outdid herself.  She performed her new single <strong>Motivation </strong>and from the beat dropped her fans shooks the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey with screams. Her performance was not short on sexy and fun. Despite some wardrobe and audio technicalities she managed to keep up her spirited performance.</p>
