This song peaked at #3 on the iTunes chart, which is the highest the girls have been! So stop complaining and enjoy the music. This is so good for the girls. Then again, for the fans too. Has anyone stopped to think that the people that didn't like 'BO$$' will like this? With 'Sledgehammer', they cater to a larger crowd. Because 'Sledgehammer' is nothing like 'Miss Movin' On', simply because this song is a more mature pop sound than MMO and MAMG. I could hear GRL singing this song, which in a way shows how 5H music is indeed maturing, just like they said it was going too. APPRECIATE THE MUSIC AND STOP COMPLAINING! Ps. I am holding out for an some epic Dinah solos on the album, and hopefully on another single! Although I am upset that she doesn't get to sing, yet again, I am merely holding on to the hope that she owns on another track. Some of ya'll should do the same instead of bashing Camilla.
I hope that they get a higher debut on billboard hot 100 charts, rooting for them. Dinah has a range where she can carry her voice, girl can sing. There are more songs on the album to be released so fans shouldn't be angry she might just get heer solo. Maturity is indeed part of growing up and I agree with you @Tyrun Posimani, this helps in many ways for them to not only develop themselves but also reach a larger scale of audience for their music.
***** And I used GRL as an example because of the mature pop sound of Sledgehammer. But also because GRL have a song called "Show Me What You Got" that reminds me of Sledgehammer.
God!!! I can't believe it had past almost 6 years since they released this song, It brings memories of High school and my first crush. 5H really made my teenage years the best time of my life.
The issue isn't that Camila gets too many solos, the issue is that she's always the one leading the chorus. She's always the one who gets the main harmony, the stepping stool for the other members. Lauren & Normani do the lower harmony, you can hear Lauren in the chorus of Going Nowhere. But Camila is leading the chorus, so it sounds like she gets more than the rest of them. If Camila didn't lead the chorus so often, like in this song as well, you wouldn't think she sang so much.
Mixer here......I am absolutely in love with this song. It's just really catchy and all..Ally belted out those notes and I heard Camila and Lauren and Mani, but I missed Dinah. Good job girls, I love it.
Can't wait for them to do an acoustive live studio version of this. Love how they always change the way they sing it so it won't always sound the same :D
fifth harmony is such a talented group i mean every single one of them can make it as a solo singer , imagine 5 incredibly talented girl in a group , that's the definition of 5th harmony tbh . love this song
so sad dinah doesn't have a solo :( before i became an harmonizer, i discover this girls from the cover of boyce avenue mirrors, dinah's voice is the one that attracts me the most and after that i start listening to their songs and became an harmonizer. i love them all, but i think she deserves it.
I hope Camila being the main vocalist in every song doesn't cause tension in the group. I can sense that Lauren doesn't like getting sidelined. I feel like if she doesn't get more solos she might leave, and the thing is I totally think she would be great solo, but I don't want her to leave. So I hope they let her sing more because I love her voice and I'm scared that she knows she's not getting what she deserves.
I think Dinah will feel that way too. Apparently her family did express disappointment that she wasn't getting enough to sing so it's not that far fetched
icedwhite mocha yeah I don't hear Dinah at all :/ honestly I I'm scared of the outcome of the unfairness. Unless of course they've all agreed to make Camila the lead and are truly happy with it. They do harmonize nicely. Especially in their acoustic performances.
Yoursoul Painter I highly doubt that's the case... :( even if the other songs have a lot of Dinah on it I won't be satisfied to be honest. because this is a single. it should have everyone on it. I wish they would take a leaf from Little Mix's book and let everyone sing. it's really not that difficult... :/
No one complained when Mani was the lead in Boss. No one complained when Lauren led the EP. No one complained when Camila didn't lead Them Girls Be Like... Reality of it you guys call yourselves Harmonizers but hate on Camila. If you hate on her you're not a Harmonizer. Camila leads the pop songs. Ally n Dinah lead the slower vocally strong songs. Mani n Lauren lead the hip/hop-R&B-urbanish songs. There are 14 songs on the damn album. I'm pretty sure each will have at least 2 songs that they lead. So shut your traps and before I hit you haters with a sledgehammer.
Camila led the EP. Lauren had the second-to-LEAST solos on the EP even though she led MMO. Normani had the LEAST amount of solos of them all, which is why most people didn't complain about her leading BO$$ because she was barely present in their earlier songs (also, none of the other girls were CAPABLE of leading BO$$, which is a huge component of the Camila criticism on some songs). Also, Camila DID lead Them Girls Be Like. Her voice was the melody on the chorus, which is the definition of leading, and she also sang the bridge and most of the riffs. For the record, I don't have that much of an issue with the solo distribution for their newer songs, but collectively their songs are 60% Camila-dominated in a group with five vocally-capable girls, and that is a fact. Every girl in the group has had to take a backseat with little or NO solos on a song at some point. Every girl, that is, EXCEPT Camila. That is what bothers some people. That isn't her fault, and I don't hate her or her voice, but it is what it is. She's not everyone's favorite. I love her, but she is not Beyonce, and she hasn't needed all of the solos she has gotten.
girl harmonize you cant be a harmonizer if you hating on camila so shut up if they dont like camila dont listen to fifth harmony simple... 5th harmony is music love to harmonizers every where
Ikr they can't call themselves a real harmonizer if all their going to do is show hate like there is more songs on the album they just acting childish.....they just trying to fit In
nothlithawk777 Actually No she didn't. For many performances Lauren was put in the middle/spotlight. She was the center, Camila just had a bigger following i guess you could say. The thing is with TGBL Cam's Riff/Runs were the only things she had by herself AND PART OF THE CHORUS. AND Half the time on MAJORITY of Camila's so-called solos Normani is singing with her because they have similar tones and their voices match well. On the album thus far, Normani has Boss/Reflection... Camila has Going Nowhere/Sledghehammer. They share We know/Over. There are 8 other songs on the album... The other girls with have time to shine
Honestly, I know I'm probably gonna hate from Camila girls for this but I don't care, this song is all Camila. I know the others get parts e.g. Ally gets the notes etc. But this is called FIFTH HARMONY for a reason, not CAMILA HARMONY. I'm still a fan, don't get me wrong. I just find the solo distrubution unfair. When the label get this right, then all the fans will be happy tbh.
They're one of the only artists out there that can actually sing .. I've seen them in concert twice and their voices are beautiful !💗 I really hope they go big one day !
I'm a new fan of Fifth Harmony and I can't believe its fandom. It's literally the only fandom where its own fans hate against its own group. People are jealous cause people think Camila has more lines or is heard more on the record. Who cares? She has a versatile voice. No one seems to be arguing over the fact that Normani sang just about the whole song of Boss. I hated that song, but not because Normani sang it...it was because the lyrics were annoying. I personally think no one can say one song is better than another and speak for everyone, so I get that everyone has their own opinion. I personally think this song is better than Boss, and it's not because people seem to think Camila sings it all. There is no need to be jealous because certain parts of a fandom like one of the girls more than the others. That's not to say Dinah, Lauren, Ally, and Normani don't have great vocals as well because they do. In fact, they literally can not function without each others vocals...hence Fifth Harmony. Does anyone remember when Camila was in the hospital and the girls were freaking out because they had to completely refigure their routine and everyone had to pitch in and some how find out who could sing certain parts of Camila's parts of the song and they were overwhelmed because it was too much for one person to sing. They all need each other equally. Heck if Ally was in the hospital, they'd have trouble reaching all those high notes. Dinah? The power behind the song. Lauren? The very soul, deep tones, and meaning of the song. And do I really need to go on to Normani in order to convince you that every member of this GROUP is essential? If you don't like every member of Fifth Harmony, even if it's half as much as your favorite member, then you are not a true Harmonizer. Just for fun, these are the way I see each member and I love them all for it (all my opinion, go easy on me I'm new:) ) Dinah- Powerhouse, mad dog straight from da hood. Killer pelvic thrusts. Thug life. Normani- Twerking angel from the heavens. Facial expressions, enough said. Normila*...yah I ship them. Ally- Quirky little short girl. Love her to death, so adorable and random:) But boy can she belt a high note. Lauren- Soulful Latina Diva. I always see Lauren as the leader of the group..idk why. Camren*...yah I ship them too. Camila- Hilarious little cute Latina, quirky. Unique. So many ships to sail....she be a playa. Dinah= Power Lauren= Soul Ally= Range Normani= Silky Camila= Uniqueness Btw, sorry for grammar mistakes and misspelled words. English is not my first language.
Well everybody is fighting friendly reminder that BO$$ just went gold in the USA , Sledgehammer peaked in at #3 but its official #4 on the iTunes carts , #1 & #2 in Brazil and #1 in Peru , sledgehammer was just played on Australia Shazam and is it the top 20's at number #15 and we just beat Justin for the EMA and have went on to the next round and Simon might bring the girls to the UK 😊✌
Nicole Garcia An official press release from Epic Records states that BO$$ has been RIAA certified gold, so it is confirmed after just 3 months following release. It took MMO nearly 12 months to do the same with far more radio support.
All these comments about Mila (Camila) being "better than the rest of 5H" and "she should have gotten more solos" or "she should have gotten less solos". The girls get the solos depending on their vocal ranges. Normani can't hit the same notes Camila can and visa versa. Their vocal ranges are all different, and that's what makes them such a great group.
Michael White wow. okay then. so basically this is "Camilla Harmony" not "Fifth Harmony? don't get me wrong, I love Camilla but, I love all of them. Now I understand that you obviously only care about her but the way you're putting it is like the other girls aren't even doing anything. Which isn't true. They're all working hard and they each get their own parts in certain songs. In a group, no one is better than the other. It doesn't matter how many fans she has because the fans wouldn't even know about her without the group and the same thing goes for the other girls. Fifth Harmony is popular because of 3 things: Simon Cowell,X Factor, and their singing. Camilla didn't pull them through to get to finals, they all worked hard. And I'm not saying that I'm not appreciating Camilla but I don't just appreciate her. The other girls do stuff too. To be honest, I don't have a favorite because they all have different voices which makes them good together. If it was only about Camilla, she would be a solo artist. Not in a group with 4 other really talented girls. So give a little respect to Normani,Dinah,Lauren,and Ally.
What people dont under stand is that camila gets the more pop songs, ally and lauren get the more urban ones and normani and dinah get the slow, soulful ones. They each got at least 2 songs. There are 14 songs. People need to calm their sensitive child breasts and calm the fuck down
I am happy they chose Camila as leading singer. We like other girls but most Harmonizers are waiting for Camila`s stunning solos. She is the soul of Fifth Harmony. Their producers understand that Camila should sing more and postponed releasing of the album. There will be more songs with Camila`s solos because BOSS ,Reflection and Them Girls Be Like had a lot of negative comments. Harmonizers just don`t want to buy songs without Camila.
SilverStrumer I think that it is a mistake to give all girls solo in the same song. It would be better if each girl had her own song in which she could sing all solo parts and the rest would harmonize in choruses. Of course Camila should have more such songs because she is the star of the group.
Oh my gosh people... Camila leads the chorus... That's why it seems like she's singing so much but in reality the others are singing the chorus with her just in harmonized notes... Plus each of them auditions for parts of the songs and whoever's vice fits the best sings the song... Take Boss or Reflection for instance... Those are led by Normani because no one else would sound right leading... Same for Over... Like when it comes to groups, everyone can't lead on one song and some will probably hardly ever lead because it's there harmony needed to make the song sound it's best but they're still just as important as whoever's leading at the moment... Hope that makes sense and excuse any typos if any because I'm absolutely exhausted and too lazy to read it over
I never said it was hate lol and don't get me wrong... I totally agree with what you're saying. It's just the fact that as a group, they should already know how things work and don't seem to have a problem with Camila leading. Like most of their previously made songs from better together were more upbat pop songs which is right where Camila's voice fits best. Dinah and Lauren can sing pretty much whatever and sound great but have more of a heavy sound than the others made for like ballads and stuff. Normani fits best with mid to fast tempo R&B/Sing-rapping style. Ally is a beast of a belter with a pretty tone that only fits in certain places. As of right now, the music market is most popular with pop music so those are the kind of songs they will get as of now to gain their fanbase... Once that's more established, I'm sure everyone will have more of n equal opportunity to showcase their vocals even though I'm sure they will on th rest of the album, This is just something that happens with every single group when they come out which is why I don't have that big of a problem and tbh I do get annoyed sometimes with Camila leading 90% of the time, but at the end everyone pulls their weight to make for a great song... I addition, I think their song structures should be more like that of their Right Stuff cover because that was absolutely perfect lol... Sorry for writing a book
Lol, I downloaded that cover right after hearing it... But yeah I totally understand what you're saying and I agree 100%... Hopefully what we want s on the rest of the album
Maude S Well it is obvious I do not agree with you. On the EP Mani has the least amount of solos. I have a feeling you do not like Normani but that is my opinion and you do not have to agree with it.
Here's the thing I don't understand...the girls told us over and over and over again for many months that their album was more R&B and "urban" and more mature, nothing at all like the EP but Sledgehammer sounds soooo pop that it doesn't sound anything at all like this supposed new direction they were going for. I see EPIC is trying for yet again for an uptempo pop "radio friendly" single to take them to the next level even though it didn't work with MMO, MAMG, Boss, or TGBL. *sigh* I'll still be here...waiting for the ballad.
well, i agree that sledgehammer isnt really the direction the girls said they were going in, but boss, reflection, TGBL, going no where, we know, etc are. It's just one song, and a great one at that, so let's enjoy it!
This is not the normal EDM Pop song tho, it is really different and so many people are saying that could do better than BO$$. Plus they won't have a hit with a Ballad, they still dont have a big exposure. Maybe next single if they make a 3rd single.
They never said they would stop with pop music. The album is a blend of pop and r&b. There is something for everyone and they chose to release a more pop themed song in order to please radio stations and the more pop enthused fans.
It's really annoying that the producers clearly favor Camila. I understand that she has the most individual followers, but the group as a whole has the most followers and the group isn't really represented in these songs. Camila has never sat out of one song and all the other girls have which seems really unfair. They all have beautiful voices. Dinah has great range, Lauren has a perfect tone, Normani has a beautiful vibrato, and Camila has good runs. But if all the songs continue to have this amount of Camila and barely any of the other girls people may get tired of it. Also if this song was all Camila it would not have been number one on iTunes
Just a correction. The group account on twitter has more followers than Camila's account but on Instagram Camila has more followers than the group itself. Also, MMO was all Lauren, BO$$ was Normani. Why can't the 3rd single be all Camila? They are taking turns. If the other songs of the album are all Camila, then you can really complain. But really, this is the only song Camila has the lead in the new album from the songs we've heard and people are fighting so much. Just wondering if they feel they favorites are threatened so much. Cause there's really no reason to fight Camila so hard when in the new album most parts we've heard are sung by Normani.
***** Well, I don't know how you can say that because Lauren had more leads on X Factor and on EP they had equal parts. You could hear Camila more when she sang parts with some of the girls because she sings higher.
***** But you said Camila sang the most on X Factor and then you just canceled it out. I think you should be more careful while trying to prove your point. Oh, Normani got BO$$, Over and Reflection BTW.
My point is the following: What happened to "Producers, we need a Dinah single or Ally single" but instead we see "Camila, Camila, Camila"? Also, I am DYING for a Dinah single. Won't think for a second to say something negative for Camila though in order to prove my point..like she sang the most on X Factor(when essentially she didn't) and in the EP Lauren and Camila get equal parts.
Anita Kuo Camila was a secondary lead for BO$$ too. Normani had most the song, but Camila had the three "you say that you're a baller" choruses and all the ad-libs at the end. The only songs she's never really 'led' are Over and Reflection, but even then she has a lot of breakout parts.
It would flop if it was. They need a radio hit, & this is the perfect song so that can get that. Maybe their 3rd single can be that if this song does well
Sometimes I wonder if this is what Fifth Harmony really wanted for themselves. I loved them when they were on X-Factor, and I quite liked Miss Movin' On and Better Together. Back then I felt that they were young yet mature, fun-loving yet sophisticated, and SO talented, such that the mere display of their RAW vocals (with no ridiculous costumes or unnecessary frills) was more than enough to captivate an audience (like in A Thousand Years, and Let It Be, and Impossible). But nowadays it seems like most of their songs have a very techno, autotune or bubblegum pop feel to it with heavy background music and synthesizers. Their image has also changed to become extremely sexualised, which is very apparent in their makeup, dressing and dance moves. I wish they would go back to doing the slower ballads and R&B/soul songs that really showcase their vocal power. I wish they would focus more on giving pure, raw editions of their songs instead of hiding their deep, powerful vocals behind loud, techno music and sexy dance moves. I wish they would have more opportunities to belt long notes and have intimate moments with slower, softer songs, instead of rushing through fast and upbeat songs. They are divas who are being limited by their song productions :( Sometimes I wonder if this is what they really wanted for themselves.
All of it’s theyre management they don’t get much say in what they sing. They plan was obvious: They would be cutesy dorky teenagers for the first couple years or so selling mostly teen targeted music. The management was just waiting for them to become an appropriate age (right when Dinah turned 18-19) to sell strictly sexual music (which always always sells).
If you could take my pulse right now It would feel just like a sledgehammer If you could feel my heart beat now It would hit you like a sledgehammer You're taken over the beat of my body, you just don't let up, don't let up You're taken over the beat of my body but you lift me up, lift me up If you take my pulse right now It would feel just like a sledgehammer
This song still has to grow on me. I mean I like it but I was looking forward to the R&B/Urban direction they said they were taking with this album. Too much musical production on the song. Sorta reminds me of "Miss Moving On" & "Me & My Girls". And while those were good songs, It got kind of annoying after awhile. I wanted their vocals to be showcased more than the pop sound I'm getting from this. The song is indeed Radio/MTV friendly but I believe that "Reflection", "Going Nowhere", "We Know" or even "Over" would have been a better suited 2nd single for them. My choice would have definitely been "Reflection" though. Now I'm just trying to picture them performing this live with choreography & IDK #OnTheFence
Alison Costa Seems likely so I hope that's the plan. I just want people to know that this just ain't no regular pop girl group. 5H SLAY & can throw down vocally. This needs to be KNOWN! LOL :)
yeah i feel the same way,I am just consantly waiting for some great fifth harmony songs,to be honest even though I am a harmonizer and I ve been one since the start of this group I dont really like their songs,EP was horrible,BO$$ was okay I guess but still I think they can do so much more and that is the reason why i still support these girls...Sledgehammer is definitely better than BO$$ but I really hope they are taking the new direction like you 've said Rnb/urban kind of music...but I guess we'll just have to wait and see
I honestly think this song is way better than Miss Movin On and Me and My Girls. I heard it once and immediately liked it because it was so catchy especially the later chorus part. It took me a while to actually like Miss Movin On. I actually preferred this than BO$$. (Oh and I dun relate to these songs because I'm a guy but I just enjoy the rhythm and music haha) I honestly think it's actually less pop compared to their EP. It's not like too "girly". Like you can't imagine this song in their EP because it's actually quite different. Besides that, Meghan Trainor actually wrote this song for them according to L.A Reid's Twitter :)
2019 and I find it funny how many people in comments wanted Camila to go solo because her vocals are the best. That dream came true and I totally love it
Amazing! I love Camila's voice on this track and of course on past tracks. I don't know why but I have this urge to see a Sledgehammer drum cover, if I had the skills I'd do it myself.
To everyone bitching about the complainers: yes, we are aware that dinah will get a bunch of other solos on the album but here's the thing: they released TWO SINGLES IN A ROW without a dinah solo...let me ask you how you'd think you'd feel if you were dinah?? To people who say her voice isn't suited for pop: please. they gave her a solo on dwda and other songs on the ep, they can give her a solo on this one. Furthermore, the second half of the bridge that ally sings sounds so much like dinah they might as well just have given that part to her since ally already did pre-chorus and the belts at the end! To people that say dinah doesn't mind not having solos: this statement drives me nuts because as risings stars, the girls of 5h should not only get collective recognition as a group, but also as individual artists. The fact that sledgehammer, what is said to be their biggest hit yet doesn't feature dinah really sucks for her since ALL the other girls get at least a shining money except for her. Don't tell me this wouldn't bother dinah because she might look that way but we're not her and I could only imagine the frustration she might feel. My only hope is that she at least gets a solo in the live version like what they did for Ally in MMO
I just recently saw them at the AZ State Fair and they were AMAZING ❤️ When they go on tour for Reflection I'll definitely be there ((: Sooo excited for this album
Y'all this song is such a bop and Y'all it just make us want to dance and sing long to it. My favorite of the song is when Ally singing that high note really good. I love 5h so much there voice's sounds so beautifully together. Love fan Samiyah ❤❤😍😍
Shawn Carter yeaa....her high notes are epic!! u gotta listen to their other songs too...she hits other amazing high notes in them (BO$$,in the end,her high notes are life! and also in Better together,she hits a 10 sec high note!! :D)
I see that Ally is clearly the leader of the group... why? she is the oldest, and has the best quality of voice.. everytime she sings the high notes in one song, it brings that song in to the new standard... She has Grammy-class of voice. :)
Miss Movin' On- Camila&Lauren Leave My Heart Out of This- Camila Don't Wanna Dance Alone- Lauren&Camila Better Together- Ally&Camila Who Are You- Dinah&Ally Me and My Girls- All of Them tbh Boss-Normani Reflection-Normani&Camila (she had more solos then the others) Going Nowhere-CAMILA (SHE IS ALL OVER THE SONG) Them Girls Be Like- Camila Sledgehammer- Camila *sips my tea*
I don´t care who sings more as long as they release songs like this, such a potencial hit, i hope this song make it to the charts with the video, love it
This song is so freaking good. I think after hearing this, the album will be a masterpiece. Because if you think about it, the girls are showing so much versatility this way. They can own both the pop and r&b charts! I think the people who think this is a step back towards the EP are wrong, simply because this isn't exactly 'bubblegum pop' like the EP was. The lyrics aren't embarrassingly young, and it is so much more radio friendly. I feel like this is the single that will help them establish their name on the mainstream/international stage. Sucks I don't get to hear Dinah, again, though :( Keep it up girls!
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!! STOP. COMPLAINING. ABOUT. EVERYTHING. im so pissed off that everytime i get to the comments expecting people to say nice things about the amazing music they put out i ALWAYS see most of u guys complaing about these stupid things!! Lets enjoy the music for god's sake! The girls are working so freakin hard on this album and for the songs we heard so far... ITS GOING TO BE AMAZIIING
Guys, Stop worrying about who gets the least/most/average amount of solos. Don't worry there are still a lot more to come and their voices are like matched with the song or part and we might never know if someday a song will just be for Dinah and Lauren or Ally and Normani or Camila or Lauren (😉) or anything to be exact the thing is they match the song with their voices. Like how they did it on the X Factor the vocal coach makes them sing a part and sees who's voice would sound the best for a certain part SO JUST ENJOY THE SONG GUYS LETS JUST SUPPORT THE GIRLS FOR EVERYTHING :)
Don't know if anyone has made this connection yet but they are basically describing how every fan feels during the meet and greets. I know I felt like this the first time I met them haha I could barely form a sentence in front of Camila. She probably was thinking just spit it out already.
im not a true harmonizer because i suck at spelling? i was unaware a spelling test was a prerequisite also then** looks you failed the prerequisite grammar test and btw i never claimed to be a 'harmonizer' anyways
Matthew D'Ercole jamie could be a new fan of fifth harmony so she might not be 100% on spelling but spelling isnt whats important its the enjoyment of the music hell ive been a fifth harmony fan for a year and i still spell camila wrong and lord knows i spell jauruegergi wrong everytime
Some people need to relax a little bit!, I know, I know, Camila sings a lot!!!, but it's not her fault she has an unique voice and the producers decided that she should "lead" the song, it's not her fault. I truly don't think she would be like "yo' I wanna sing the whole fucking song!!!" You guys didn't said anything when you heard "Reflection" for the first time and realized that Normani is literally singing the whole song! and I don't think this is a good song for Dinah's voice. The producers decide who is gonna sing each verse or part of the song, so this is not Camila's fault. If you get tired of hearing Camila's voice then you should keep it to yourself, she's awesome. I never get tired of hearing any of their voices.... sorry
just like how everyone doesn't complain about how harry literally sings like 3/4 of every song. they don't get to choose. and even if they did, they would've seen who fits the song better. i mean, they could always just edit camila's voice loder than the others,
Fortitude Missy Firstly you cannot compare 1D and 5H. everyone in 5H can sing very well but in 1D only liam, harry and zayn can. Secondly, have you even been in the 1D fandom?? everyone was complaining about the uneven solo distribution. Thirdly, they obviously listened because they now have more equal solo distribution i their new albums. Lastly, Zayn is now getting the most solos though he is the least popular because he has the best voice.. and lastly, why should we just accept that Camila sings 70% of the songs? we are not the 1D fandom.
Fortitude Missy 1. I'm in the fandom and I'm telling the truth that in 1D Louis & Niall can't sing as well as the other three. I don't coddle the boys. it's a fact that not all of them can sing well. 2. LOL you're so mad. I am in the 1d fandom and I have all their albums. why are you assuming that I'm not? lastly, i don't care that i offended you. the truth hurts. They did complain about uneven distribution as harry got a lot of solos way too many and I see the same thing happening here except that Camila is not the best singer and therefore should not get the most solos. It's not the same we can't compare 1D & 5H. If camila continues this way then 5H will probably break up.
icedwhite mocha the word "seriously" should go to you. she doesn't mean the word "kill" literally obviously. and you are the one who needs to chill with your hate for Camila. your hate comments are all over the place. as Dinah would say #getyolife . do you think she would like supporters like you? especially knowing the relationship she has with Camila.
I wish we could all get along like we used to on The X Factor. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy.
why are people so narrow minded? here's the thing, they're called fifth HARMONY. if everyone's just complaining about any of the girls not getting enough parts, remember, there's more to the song than just the main melody. the main reason why 5H songs have that edge is their HARMONIES. and i bet dinah's voice is well suited for that. if you notice in their live performances, she and ally do the main harmonies for the high notes, and usually they support whoever's singing the chorus. so please, stop whining. each song has a different character, and they're only choosing whose voice fits the song's character best. in a nutshell, STOP HATING. SUPPORT THE GIRLS! SPREAD LOVE, NOT HATE!
You all heard We know ,reflection , going nowhere . All the girls have their moment . This song fits camila's voice the most . Why you all are so mad about this ? It's not about the equality it's about the best result . Go listen to Who are you if you want to hear Dinah .Go listen to We know if you want to hear Lauren . Go listen to BOSS if you want to hear Mani and Ally's magical high notes. This is FIFTH HARMONY where EVERํYONE IN THE GROUP HAS STRONG/UNIQUE VOICE TO LEAD IN CHORUS . THEY NEED A BREAKOUT HIT AND THIS COULD BE IT >SUPPORT PLS
Why should I support this and it doesnt showcase a group it just showcases Camila's rather annoying vocals. When I hear Dinah-Jane Hansen then it will be worth my time.
Jhonathan Montoya bitch did you remember when LA clearly said if she had remembered the lyrics to the song she took 30 mins to try and learn she would have been entered as a solo artist. Dinah has what it takes to go solo and she will one day and SLAY.
Christopher Curtis calm down. dinah would flop on her own right now. I agree they aren't using her voice properly but she wouldn't be successful on her own right now. None of the girls would.
People are saying how camila is too good to be in the group or how she should be solo or w.e, well if it was like that, I think simon wouldn't have eliminated her with the rest and put her in the group... I love camila but I love all of them as well and love them as a group, I'm glad they were put into a group and not solo artists. Obviously it was a great idea, they all sound good together...
I really don't know why people try to deny that Camila gets a solo on every song. I like Camila just as much as I like the other girls and its kind of obvious that she's getting more parts because she has the most amount of fans, and how do you sell a song? You attract the most amount of fans (Camila's fans want to hear her) I like her voice so I don't mind her singing in every song but if anyone remembers any older girl groups, the reason many broke up was because one girl started to take on 'lead singer' and the rest backup (Pussycat dolls is a great example). I just hope that they can start giving other girls more solos so that they don't have this same feeling of being backup vocals and make it to a third or fifth album.
Stop complaining about who sings the most in the song and just enjoy the song! Fifth harmony has come so far since the X factor,from have hit singles,an ep,being the first girl group since 2008 and to win a vma and camila and dinah are the youngest artist to win a vma,&they are the first artist to win a vma without an album,to beating BEYONCE in the ema awards and JUSTIN BIEBER! When I found this out I cried! And sure the album might not be the best,but look where it got the girls,look where there talent got them. That's all that matters.
I don't think people realized that Meghan Trainor actually wrote this song, NOT the girls. So, that's why it gives a poppish style to it, and there might be more songs that will be like Sledgehammer that will be on the album. Also, that's why it really doesn't sound R&B. Since, the girls have been working with Meghan in the studio recently. But, this might be an actual hit for the girls on the radio. As much as I wanted "Reflection" or "Going Nowhere" to be the next single, "Sledgehammer" has been doing greatly overrall on the charts. Radio stations are all over 5H now, so hopefully this is a major hit.
Everyone who's complaining about Camila, you fail to realize that this has been happening since the beginning of girl groups/boy bands. Producers lock into a particular voice and tone in each and every group. Yes every member can sing their faces off, but Producers have chosen Camila to lock into. It happened to Nsync with Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. Danity Kane with Dawn Richard & Aundrea Fimbers even One Direction with Harry Styles. This is the business, it's not personal. What's great about 5H is that producers give everyone a chance to sing. Camila is not the only star but she is the singer who Producers can trust to be consistent. I love all the members but this is how groups work. Stop complaining and just enjoy the Music. Also, purchase the album so they can create more music, more music videos, and more success.
They song is a lot better then Bo$$ and is pretty similar vibes from Miss Movin' On. God, there new music is so diverse and cool and I just never knew how much potential they have. I just want them to have their breakthrough in the music industry very soon and become one of the top girl groups. Btw, this song should be on iTunes soon so please buy!!!!!!!
This should've been a HUGE hit. It's pop perfection.
so fucking true. I love their voices but the instrumental version tho💥
No there are better songs of reflection this one is poor single quality
Starmie Productions,
Simply lies. You don't know how amazing this song is! It's like a part of my childhood.
This is my favourite 5H song, it is a real standout and one that is in my main playlist.
Pheonix DaRonco Agreed, It could have been part of my childhood in the 1980's and my teens in the 1990s

yasssss leggo #Harmonizers !
They got to #1!!!!!! YEA!!!!
still a banger
This song peaked at #3 on the iTunes chart, which is the highest the girls have been! So stop complaining and enjoy the music. This is so good for the girls. Then again, for the fans too. Has anyone stopped to think that the people that didn't like 'BO$$' will like this? With 'Sledgehammer', they cater to a larger crowd. Because 'Sledgehammer' is nothing like 'Miss Movin' On', simply because this song is a more mature pop sound than MMO and MAMG. I could hear GRL singing this song, which in a way shows how 5H music is indeed maturing, just like they said it was going too. APPRECIATE THE MUSIC AND STOP COMPLAINING!
Ps. I am holding out for an some epic Dinah solos on the album, and hopefully on another single! Although I am upset that she doesn't get to sing, yet again, I am merely holding on to the hope that she owns on another track. Some of ya'll should do the same instead of bashing Camilla.
I hope that they get a higher debut on billboard hot 100 charts, rooting for them. Dinah has a range where she can carry her voice, girl can sing. There are more songs on the album to be released so fans shouldn't be angry she might just get heer solo. Maturity is indeed part of growing up and I agree with you @Tyrun Posimani, this helps in many ways for them to not only develop themselves but also reach a larger scale of audience for their music.
***** I'm talking about billboard hot 100 charts not itunes charts.
@YukinoAguria Oh, sorry about that. I read it afterwards and recognized my mistake.
***** Actually, Bo$$ peaked at #7 on the iTunes chart.
***** And I used GRL as an example because of the mature pop sound of Sledgehammer. But also because GRL have a song called "Show Me What You Got" that reminds me of Sledgehammer.
I was disappointed with bo$$ but I really like this, reminds me of why I started loving them.
same :)
Ikr
lol yes!!
God!!! I can't believe it had past almost 6 years since they released this song, It brings memories of High school and my first crush. 5H really made my teenage years the best time of my life.
Yeah I remember this song when it came out!!
Its 8 years now :)
Me too
@@comercole1940 me too
The issue isn't that Camila gets too many solos, the issue is that she's always the one leading the chorus. She's always the one who gets the main harmony, the stepping stool for the other members. Lauren & Normani do the lower harmony, you can hear Lauren in the chorus of Going Nowhere. But Camila is leading the chorus, so it sounds like she gets more than the rest of them. If Camila didn't lead the chorus so often, like in this song as well, you wouldn't think she sang so much.
It was just like Nicole Scherzinger of the pussycat dolls to set up for the solo career, it's obvious. But this is a great song.
Every group has a main person. It's never gonna change
That's not the issue do stop complaining and just love the song as it is
MrSkinnyJeanz3 I feel like since Camila is doing the chorus, Dinah should sing the verse.
MrSkinnyJeanz3 maybe she just needed to not be in the group lol
Mixer here......I am absolutely in love with this song. It's just really catchy and all..Ally belted out those notes and I heard Camila and Lauren and Mani, but I missed Dinah. Good job girls, I love it.
Can't wait for them to do an acoustive live studio version of this. Love how they always change the way they sing it so it won't always sound the same :D
fifth harmony is such a talented group
i mean every single one of them can make it as a solo singer , imagine 5 incredibly talented girl in a group , that's the definition of 5th harmony tbh .
love this song
so sad dinah doesn't have a solo :( before i became an harmonizer, i discover this girls from the cover of boyce avenue mirrors, dinah's voice is the one that attracts me the most and after that i start listening to their songs and became an harmonizer. i love them all, but i think she deserves it.
-exactly I hate that she doesn't have a solo
***** I agree dinah needs more solos they take her for granted.
She's amazing
queen jauregui Same here.. Dinah's part on Mirrors gave me chills.
***** Yeah right.. I wish I could hear more of Dinah in their next single..
I was 14 years old in this song for 5 years ago..Time just move forward while song seems only like yesterday.
gue 15
@KyleReese Agree, time flies by. Remembered first listening to this back in middle school. Won't forget it...
Hitting me with a sledgehammer would hurt less than these feels. This is beautiful.
I hope Camila being the main vocalist in every song doesn't cause tension in the group. I can sense that Lauren doesn't like getting sidelined. I feel like if she doesn't get more solos she might leave, and the thing is I totally think she would be great solo, but I don't want her to leave. So I hope they let her sing more because I love her voice and I'm scared that she knows she's not getting what she deserves.
I think Dinah will feel that way too. Apparently her family did express disappointment that she wasn't getting enough to sing so it's not that far fetched
icedwhite mocha yeah I don't hear Dinah at all :/ honestly I I'm scared of the outcome of the unfairness. Unless of course they've all agreed to make Camila the lead and are truly happy with it. They do harmonize nicely. Especially in their acoustic performances.
Yoursoul Painter I highly doubt that's the case... :( even if the other songs have a lot of Dinah on it I won't be satisfied to be honest. because this is a single. it should have everyone on it. I wish they would take a leaf from Little Mix's book and let everyone sing. it's really not that difficult... :/
I don't think anyone but Camila is getting what they all deserve.
***** they tweeted about it it think. there was some controversy bout it.
The chains this song had on me in middle school
I love how they chart higher and higher with each single they release. Progress, people, progress
No one complained when Mani was the lead in Boss. No one complained when Lauren led the EP. No one complained when Camila didn't lead Them Girls Be Like... Reality of it you guys call yourselves Harmonizers but hate on Camila. If you hate on her you're not a Harmonizer. Camila leads the pop songs. Ally n Dinah lead the slower vocally strong songs. Mani n Lauren lead the hip/hop-R&B-urbanish songs. There are 14 songs on the damn album. I'm pretty sure each will have at least 2 songs that they lead. So shut your traps and before I hit you haters with a sledgehammer.
This is so true
Camila led the EP. Lauren had the second-to-LEAST solos on the EP even though she led MMO. Normani had the LEAST amount of solos of them all, which is why most people didn't complain about her leading BO$$ because she was barely present in their earlier songs (also, none of the other girls were CAPABLE of leading BO$$, which is a huge component of the Camila criticism on some songs). Also, Camila DID lead Them Girls Be Like. Her voice was the melody on the chorus, which is the definition of leading, and she also sang the bridge and most of the riffs.
For the record, I don't have that much of an issue with the solo distribution for their newer songs, but collectively their songs are 60% Camila-dominated in a group with five vocally-capable girls, and that is a fact. Every girl in the group has had to take a backseat with little or NO solos on a song at some point. Every girl, that is, EXCEPT Camila. That is what bothers some people. That isn't her fault, and I don't hate her or her voice, but it is what it is. She's not everyone's favorite. I love her, but she is not Beyonce, and she hasn't needed all of the solos she has gotten.
girl harmonize you cant be a harmonizer if you hating on camila so shut up if they dont like camila dont listen to fifth harmony simple... 5th harmony is music love to harmonizers every where
Ikr they can't call themselves a real harmonizer if all their going to do is show hate like there is more songs on the album they just acting childish.....they just trying to fit In
nothlithawk777 Actually No she didn't. For many performances Lauren was put in the middle/spotlight. She was the center, Camila just had a bigger following i guess you could say. The thing is with TGBL Cam's Riff/Runs were the only things she had by herself AND PART OF THE CHORUS. AND Half the time on MAJORITY of Camila's so-called solos Normani is singing with her because they have similar tones and their voices match well. On the album thus far, Normani has Boss/Reflection... Camila has Going Nowhere/Sledghehammer. They share We know/Over. There are 8 other songs on the album... The other girls with have time to shine
Tbh their EMA performance of sledgehammer was everythingggg 😩💘😍
Yeah it was! They get better and better the more they perform
Honestly, I know I'm probably gonna hate from Camila girls for this but I don't care, this song is all Camila. I know the others get parts e.g. Ally gets the notes etc. But this is called FIFTH HARMONY for a reason, not CAMILA HARMONY. I'm still a fan, don't get me wrong. I just find the solo distrubution unfair. When the label get this right, then all the fans will be happy tbh.
I get that someone has to lead the chorus, but giving Camila verses to sing aswell is just unfair solo distrubution.
I agree with you. All I hear is Camila. Sometimes Allie.
Bullshit
I agree.
Camila is amazing u can hear Lauren and Ally too not rest
They're one of the only artists out there that can actually sing .. I've seen them in concert twice and their voices are beautiful !💗 I really hope they go big one day !
I'm a new fan of Fifth Harmony and I can't believe its fandom. It's literally the only fandom where its own fans hate against its own group. People are jealous cause people think Camila has more lines or is heard more on the record. Who cares? She has a versatile voice. No one seems to be arguing over the fact that Normani sang just about the whole song of Boss. I hated that song, but not because Normani sang it...it was because the lyrics were annoying. I personally think no one can say one song is better than another and speak for everyone, so I get that everyone has their own opinion. I personally think this song is better than Boss, and it's not because people seem to think Camila sings it all. There is no need to be jealous because certain parts of a fandom like one of the girls more than the others. That's not to say Dinah, Lauren, Ally, and Normani don't have great vocals as well because they do. In fact, they literally can not function without each others vocals...hence Fifth Harmony. Does anyone remember when Camila was in the hospital and the girls were freaking out because they had to completely refigure their routine and everyone had to pitch in and some how find out who could sing certain parts of Camila's parts of the song and they were overwhelmed because it was too much for one person to sing. They all need each other equally. Heck if Ally was in the hospital, they'd have trouble reaching all those high notes. Dinah? The power behind the song. Lauren? The very soul, deep tones, and meaning of the song. And do I really need to go on to Normani in order to convince you that every member of this GROUP is essential? If you don't like every member of Fifth Harmony, even if it's half as much as your favorite member, then you are not a true Harmonizer.
Just for fun, these are the way I see each member and I love them all for it (all my opinion, go easy on me I'm new:) )
Dinah- Powerhouse, mad dog straight from da hood. Killer pelvic thrusts. Thug life.
Normani- Twerking angel from the heavens. Facial expressions, enough said. Normila*...yah I ship them.
Ally- Quirky little short girl. Love her to death, so adorable and random:) But boy can she belt a high note.
Lauren- Soulful Latina Diva. I always see Lauren as the leader of the group..idk why. Camren*...yah I ship them too.
Camila- Hilarious little cute Latina, quirky. Unique. So many ships to sail....she be a playa.
Dinah= Power
Lauren= Soul
Ally= Range
Normani= Silky
Camila= Uniqueness
Btw, sorry for grammar mistakes and misspelled words. English is not my first language.
Yaass!! I love you. lol
No it’s camilizers who start the fight. Honestly the other girls don’t deserve the hate they got from most of the Camilizers.
so well said😍☝️
I stopped reading when I first saw "Camila = unique". I have to fucking laugh.
Well everybody is fighting friendly reminder that BO$$ just went gold in the USA , Sledgehammer peaked in at #3 but its official #4 on the iTunes carts , #1 & #2 in Brazil and #1 in Peru , sledgehammer was just played on Australia Shazam and is it the top 20's at number #15 and we just beat Justin for the EMA and have went on to the next round and Simon might bring the girls to the UK 😊✌
***** that's what a lot of people are saying but Simon didn't say anything about it yet
really do hope they become established here in the UK
Nicole Garcia epic did a press release. yes it went gold. and way faster than mmo did.
Nicole Garcia An official press release from Epic Records states that BO$$ has been RIAA certified gold, so it is confirmed after just 3 months following release. It took MMO nearly 12 months to do the same with far more radio support.
Peruuuuuuuuu 💕
Anyone else wanted WE KNOW as the next single?
Yesssss !
MD
All these comments about Mila (Camila) being "better than the rest of 5H" and "she should have gotten more solos" or "she should have gotten less solos". The girls get the solos depending on their vocal ranges. Normani can't hit the same notes Camila can and visa versa. Their vocal ranges are all different, and that's what makes them such a great group.
Michael White wow. okay then. so basically this is "Camilla Harmony" not "Fifth Harmony? don't get me wrong, I love Camilla but, I love all of them. Now I understand that you obviously only care about her but the way you're putting it is like the other girls aren't even doing anything. Which isn't true. They're all working hard and they each get their own parts in certain songs. In a group, no one is better than the other. It doesn't matter how many fans she has because the fans wouldn't even know about her without the group and the same thing goes for the other girls. Fifth Harmony is popular because of 3 things: Simon Cowell,X Factor, and their singing. Camilla didn't pull them through to get to finals, they all worked hard. And I'm not saying that I'm not appreciating Camilla but I don't just appreciate her. The other girls do stuff too. To be honest, I don't have a favorite because they all have different voices which makes them good together. If it was only about Camilla, she would be a solo artist. Not in a group with 4 other really talented girls. So give a little respect to Normani,Dinah,Lauren,and Ally.
What people dont under stand is that camila gets the more pop songs, ally and lauren get the more urban ones and normani and dinah get the slow, soulful ones. They each got at least 2 songs. There are 14 songs. People need to calm their sensitive child breasts and calm the fuck down
Catherine Nolan no
Renjun 😍
@@olsa9925 but they aren't featured songs now are they?
DINAH PROBABLY HAS MORE SOLOS IN THE ALBUM CHILLLL OKAY ITS BC THESE ARE POP BUT SHE PROBABLY HAS A BUNCH IM THE R&B SONGS ON THE ALBUM
I GET YOUR POINT BUT THEY ALREADY BAD SOME R&B AND SOME GROOVY ONES AND SHE STILL BARELY HAS PARTS UGHH (wow sorry for the caps lol)
Dinah's voice suits more in ballads and we haven't heard much of them yet, so I think she'll have some breathtaking solos there.
Dinah had more parts in their Faking It appearance than Boss + Sledge combined.
these are the SINGLES. they should have equal parts.
Trust them okay she will blow us away when the album she will be in more of the songs! And that was ally dudeee...
Megan Trainor did a good job writing this song !
I am happy they chose Camila as leading singer. We like other girls but most Harmonizers are waiting for Camila`s stunning solos. She is the soul of Fifth Harmony. Their producers understand that Camila should sing more and postponed releasing of the album. There will be more songs with Camila`s solos because BOSS ,Reflection and Them Girls Be Like had a lot of negative comments. Harmonizers just don`t want to buy songs without Camila.
Camila led Me & My Girls and it flopped.
I don't mind if Camila was lead but at least give all the other members at least one line to sing to have their own 'moment'..
shadow light It "flopped" not because of Camila but because it was a horrible primitive song.
SilverStrumer I think that it is a mistake to give all girls solo in the same song. It would be better if each girl had her own song in which she could sing all solo parts and the rest would harmonize in choruses. Of course Camila should have more such songs because she is the star of the group.
Paul Bright So you agree that it matters not who sings the song, only how well the song is written?
Oh my gosh people... Camila leads the chorus... That's why it seems like she's singing so much but in reality the others are singing the chorus with her just in harmonized notes... Plus each of them auditions for parts of the songs and whoever's vice fits the best sings the song... Take Boss or Reflection for instance... Those are led by Normani because no one else would sound right leading... Same for Over... Like when it comes to groups, everyone can't lead on one song and some will probably hardly ever lead because it's there harmony needed to make the song sound it's best but they're still just as important as whoever's leading at the moment... Hope that makes sense and excuse any typos if any because I'm absolutely exhausted and too lazy to read it over
Well that's the thing .. She leads the chorus and has solos too ..
I never said it was hate lol and don't get me wrong... I totally agree with what you're saying. It's just the fact that as a group, they should already know how things work and don't seem to have a problem with Camila leading. Like most of their previously made songs from better together were more upbat pop songs which is right where Camila's voice fits best. Dinah and Lauren can sing pretty much whatever and sound great but have more of a heavy sound than the others made for like ballads and stuff. Normani fits best with mid to fast tempo R&B/Sing-rapping style. Ally is a beast of a belter with a pretty tone that only fits in certain places. As of right now, the music market is most popular with pop music so those are the kind of songs they will get as of now to gain their fanbase... Once that's more established, I'm sure everyone will have more of n equal opportunity to showcase their vocals even though I'm sure they will on th rest of the album, This is just something that happens with every single group when they come out which is why I don't have that big of a problem and tbh I do get annoyed sometimes with Camila leading 90% of the time, but at the end everyone pulls their weight to make for a great song... I addition, I think their song structures should be more like that of their Right Stuff cover because that was absolutely perfect lol... Sorry for writing a book
Lol, I downloaded that cover right after hearing it... But yeah I totally understand what you're saying and I agree 100%... Hopefully what we want s on the rest of the album
***** amem dude, srly AMEN
Camila is awesome
already obsessed with this song !
Must you be a troll. Normani was getting next to nothing before. She only has ten seconds on this song.
she has boss and no im just giving my opinion. you dont have or need to agree.
Camila rocks
she does ! but the other girls too !!
Maude S
Well it is obvious I do not agree with you. On the EP Mani has the least amount of solos. I have a feeling you do not like Normani but that is my opinion and you do not have to agree with it.
Never really been a fan of Fifth Harmony but I am obsessed with this song. It's perfect💘
All of the girls have amazing voices.They are very talented!
Here's the thing I don't understand...the girls told us over and over and over again for many months that their album was more R&B and "urban" and more mature, nothing at all like the EP but Sledgehammer sounds soooo pop that it doesn't sound anything at all like this supposed new direction they were going for. I see EPIC is trying for yet again for an uptempo pop "radio friendly" single to take them to the next level even though it didn't work with MMO, MAMG, Boss, or TGBL. *sigh* I'll still be here...waiting for the ballad.
So true
well, i agree that sledgehammer isnt really the direction the girls said they were going in,
but boss, reflection, TGBL, going no where, we know, etc are.
It's just one song, and a great one at that, so let's enjoy it!
it shows their versatility, duhhhhhh. they can be r&b and pop.
This is not the normal EDM Pop song tho, it is really different and so many people are saying that could do better than BO$$. Plus they won't have a hit with a Ballad, they still dont have a big exposure. Maybe next single if they make a 3rd single.
They never said they would stop with pop music. The album is a blend of pop and r&b. There is something for everyone and they chose to release a more pop themed song in order to please radio stations and the more pop enthused fans.
Nostalgie vibes
It's really annoying that the producers clearly favor Camila. I understand that she has the most individual followers, but the group as a whole has the most followers and the group isn't really represented in these songs. Camila has never sat out of one song and all the other girls have which seems really unfair. They all have beautiful voices. Dinah has great range, Lauren has a perfect tone, Normani has a beautiful vibrato, and Camila has good runs. But if all the songs continue to have this amount of Camila and barely any of the other girls people may get tired of it. Also if this song was all Camila it would not have been number one on iTunes
Just a correction. The group account on twitter has more followers than Camila's account but on Instagram Camila has more followers than the group itself.
Also, MMO was all Lauren, BO$$ was Normani. Why can't the 3rd single be all Camila? They are taking turns. If the other songs of the album are all Camila, then you can really complain. But really, this is the only song Camila has the lead in the new album from the songs we've heard and people are fighting so much. Just wondering if they feel they favorites are threatened so much. Cause there's really no reason to fight Camila so hard when in the new album most parts we've heard are sung by Normani.
***** Well, I don't know how you can say that because Lauren had more leads on X Factor and on EP they had equal parts. You could hear Camila more when she sang parts with some of the girls because she sings higher.
***** But you said Camila sang the most on X Factor and then you just canceled it out. I think you should be more careful while trying to prove your point. Oh, Normani got BO$$, Over and Reflection BTW.
My point is the following: What happened to "Producers, we need a Dinah single or Ally single" but instead we see "Camila, Camila, Camila"? Also, I am DYING for a Dinah single. Won't think for a second to say something negative for Camila though in order to prove my point..like she sang the most on X Factor(when essentially she didn't) and in the EP Lauren and Camila get equal parts.
Anita Kuo Camila was a secondary lead for BO$$ too. Normani had most the song, but Camila had the three "you say that you're a baller" choruses and all the ad-libs at the end. The only songs she's never really 'led' are Over and Reflection, but even then she has a lot of breakout parts.
It's good but I really wanted Reflection to be the next single.
Totally agree!
i agree
they're probably saving that song for when the album comes out to get more hype
YEAH! But I'm so in love with this song! Been on replay on my iPod all day!!
It would flop if it was. They need a radio hit, & this is the perfect song so that can get that. Maybe their 3rd single can be that if this song does well
Sometimes I wonder if this is what Fifth Harmony really wanted for themselves.
I loved them when they were on X-Factor, and I quite liked Miss Movin' On and Better Together. Back then I felt that they were young yet mature, fun-loving yet sophisticated, and SO talented, such that the mere display of their RAW vocals (with no ridiculous costumes or unnecessary frills) was more than enough to captivate an audience (like in A Thousand Years, and Let It Be, and Impossible).
But nowadays it seems like most of their songs have a very techno, autotune or bubblegum pop feel to it with heavy background music and synthesizers. Their image has also changed to become extremely sexualised, which is very apparent in their makeup, dressing and dance moves.
I wish they would go back to doing the slower ballads and R&B/soul songs that really showcase their vocal power. I wish they would focus more on giving pure, raw editions of their songs instead of hiding their deep, powerful vocals behind loud, techno music and sexy dance moves. I wish they would have more opportunities to belt long notes and have intimate moments with slower, softer songs, instead of rushing through fast and upbeat songs. They are divas who are being limited by their song productions :(
Sometimes I wonder if this is what they really wanted for themselves.
They've never looked happier performing music than they do now.
All of it’s theyre management they don’t get much say in what they sing. They plan was obvious: They would be cutesy dorky teenagers for the first couple years or so selling mostly teen targeted music. The management was just waiting for them to become an appropriate age (right when Dinah turned 18-19) to sell strictly sexual music (which always always sells).
This song can either be about the feeling you get when you're around the person you like (sledgehammer instead of butterflies.. Idk) OR sex.
"Undress my love...im coming over"...Yep its def about sex!
that's the best part! it can appeal to both older and younger fans :)
they said it´s about when you´re around the guy like
3:05 Ally's high note hit me like a sledgehammer!! ;D
If you could take my pulse right now
It would feel just like a sledgehammer
If you could feel my heart beat now
It would hit you like a sledgehammer
You're taken over the beat of my body, you just don't let up, don't let up
You're taken over the beat of my body but you lift me up, lift me up
If you take my pulse right now
It would feel just like a sledgehammer
This song still has to grow on me. I mean I like it but I was looking forward to the R&B/Urban direction they said they were taking with this album. Too much musical production on the song. Sorta reminds me of "Miss Moving On" & "Me & My Girls". And while those were good songs, It got kind of annoying after awhile. I wanted their vocals to be showcased more than the pop sound I'm getting from this. The song is indeed Radio/MTV friendly but I believe that "Reflection", "Going Nowhere", "We Know" or even "Over" would have been a better suited 2nd single for them. My choice would have definitely been "Reflection" though. Now I'm just trying to picture them performing this live with choreography & IDK #OnTheFence
they chose this song to have a comercial hit. later when they get a bigger crowd they will certainly do less bublegum pop songs
Alison Costa Seems likely so I hope that's the plan. I just want people to know that this just ain't no regular pop girl group. 5H SLAY & can throw down vocally. This needs to be KNOWN! LOL :)
yeah i feel the same way,I am just consantly waiting for some great fifth harmony songs,to be honest even though I am a harmonizer and I ve been one since the start of this group I dont really like their songs,EP was horrible,BO$$ was okay I guess but still I think they can do so much more and that is the reason why i still support these girls...Sledgehammer is definitely better than BO$$ but I really hope they are taking the new direction like you 've said Rnb/urban kind of music...but I guess we'll just have to wait and see
I honestly think this song is way better than Miss Movin On and Me and My Girls. I heard it once and immediately liked it because it was so catchy especially the later chorus part. It took me a while to actually like Miss Movin On. I actually preferred this than BO$$. (Oh and I dun relate to these songs because I'm a guy but I just enjoy the rhythm and music haha) I honestly think it's actually less pop compared to their EP. It's not like too "girly". Like you can't imagine this song in their EP because it's actually quite different. Besides that, Meghan Trainor actually wrote this song for them according to L.A Reid's Twitter :)
this is much catchier than MMO. And god, do not mention me and my girls. that song never happened.
they can sing everything: pop, balad, r&b, eletro..anytrhing.. love it
2019 and I find it funny how many people in comments wanted Camila to go solo because her vocals are the best. That dream came true and I totally love it
The other singles they released were pretty catchy, but this song has to be by far my favorite. It suits my taste~ Waiting for the full album
Amazing! I love Camila's voice on this track and of course on past tracks. I don't know why but I have this urge to see a Sledgehammer drum cover, if I had the skills I'd do it myself.
That song is a banger
To everyone bitching about the complainers: yes, we are aware that dinah will get a bunch of other solos on the album but here's the thing: they released TWO SINGLES IN A ROW without a dinah solo...let me ask you how you'd think you'd feel if you were dinah??
To people who say her voice isn't suited for pop: please. they gave her a solo on dwda and other songs on the ep, they can give her a solo on this one. Furthermore, the second half of the bridge that ally sings sounds so much like dinah they might as well just have given that part to her since ally already did pre-chorus and the belts at the end!
To people that say dinah doesn't mind not having solos: this statement drives me nuts because as risings stars, the girls of 5h should not only get collective recognition as a group, but also as individual artists. The fact that sledgehammer, what is said to be their biggest hit yet doesn't feature dinah really sucks for her since ALL the other girls get at least a shining money except for her. Don't tell me this wouldn't bother dinah because she might look that way but we're not her and I could only imagine the frustration she might feel.
My only hope is that she at least gets a solo in the live version like what they did for Ally in MMO
Dinah will :) And she's happy to do this with her group :)
She's getting the same amount just not solos :(
Love this song! Can't wait for the tour
Me too
I just recently saw them at the AZ State Fair and they were AMAZING ❤️ When they go on tour for Reflection I'll definitely be there ((: Sooo excited for this album
Agreed! I recorded all of the songs and still watch them daily to and from school
Omg I've seen them 7 times and going to see them for the 8th for summer reflection tour
Y'all this song is such a bop and Y'all it just make us want to dance and sing long to it. My favorite of the song is when Ally singing that high note really good. I love 5h so much there voice's sounds so beautifully together. Love fan Samiyah ❤❤😍😍
Totally new to Fifth Harmony, you guys, so can someone tell me who does the belts after the bridge because its freaking epic.
Shawn Carter the amazing ally brooke :D the girl standing on the left in the pic ;)
***** thanks lol. Its my fav part of the song 😊
Shawn Carter yeaa....her high notes are epic!! u gotta listen to their other songs too...she hits other amazing high notes in them (BO$$,in the end,her high notes are life! and also in Better together,she hits a 10 sec high note!! :D)
***** I actually think it's dinah after listening super closely..
icedwhite mocha i was also confused at first, but i'm pretty sure its Ally...well we hv to see them perform live to be 100% sure ;p
I see that Ally is clearly the leader of the group... why? she is the oldest, and has the best quality of voice.. everytime she sings the high notes in one song, it brings that song in to the new standard...
She has Grammy-class of voice. :)
This grew on me and now I can't stop listening to it
This song should be on the radio.
Yasss

SLAYED once again by these AMAZING Queens
I love this song
Me To ;)
I don´t care who sings more as long as they release songs like this, such a potencial hit, i hope this song make it to the charts with the video, love it
Am i the only one who believes that they are so much prettier than what the album pictures show?
Everyone is prettier w/o being photoshoped.
QueenC ikr , i see their photos when they go to the awards and they look so pretty and stunning, but in the album photos i just don't get it.
yep, photoshop does that and it's not the artists faults or choices. It's the people behind the camera , the designers and etc...
YES
The instagram picture they take themselves are better, imo
Thank you Meghan Trainor for writing this
This song is so freaking good. I think after hearing this, the album will be a masterpiece. Because if you think about it, the girls are showing so much versatility this way. They can own both the pop and r&b charts! I think the people who think this is a step back towards the EP are wrong, simply because this isn't exactly 'bubblegum pop' like the EP was. The lyrics aren't embarrassingly young, and it is so much more radio friendly. I feel like this is the single that will help them establish their name on the mainstream/international stage. Sucks I don't get to hear Dinah, again, though :( Keep it up girls!
I love your comments. Just sayin haha
PREAAAAACH!!!!
you said it all!!!!!
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!! STOP. COMPLAINING. ABOUT. EVERYTHING.
im so pissed off that everytime i get to the comments expecting people to say nice things about the amazing music they put out i ALWAYS see most of u guys complaing about these stupid things!! Lets enjoy the music for god's sake! The girls are working so freakin hard on this album and for the songs we heard so far... ITS GOING TO BE AMAZIIING
THIIIIIIS.
HALLELUJA!!!
Your icon scared me so much if you take my pulse right now it would hit you like a sledgehammer
Preach
I wish their videos would reach the millions faster like all of the other artists.
Not even 24 hours since its been uploaded, its already on the radio in Vegas. They're getting so big.
Guys, Stop worrying about who gets the least/most/average amount of solos. Don't worry there are still a lot more to come and their voices are like matched with the song or part and we might never know if someday a song will just be for Dinah and Lauren or Ally and Normani or Camila or Lauren (😉) or anything to be exact the thing is they match the song with their voices. Like how they did it on the X Factor the vocal coach makes them sing a part and sees who's voice would sound the best for a certain part SO JUST ENJOY THE SONG GUYS LETS JUST SUPPORT THE GIRLS FOR EVERYTHING :)
I freaking love this song 😍 ally's higher harmonies in the 2nd chorus kill meeeee
Tate Steven who?
kimberly jackson on top of your grave
Dead 😂😂
OMG LOVE THIS SONG CANT WAIT TILL REFLECTION THE ALBUM COMES OUT OMG🙌❤️💘😍😭😝
Fifth Harmony Ally Brooke Lauren Jauregui Dinah Jane Normani ♥️
Don't know if anyone has made this connection yet but they are basically describing how every fan feels during the meet and greets. I know I felt like this the first time I met them haha I could barely form a sentence in front of Camila. She probably was thinking just spit it out already.
Camilla has the best voice and most marketability if 5h doesn't work out she should go solo
*Camila... if anyone doesn't know how to spell her name, I'm sorry than you aren't a true Harmonizer
im not a true harmonizer because i suck at spelling? i was unaware a spelling test was a prerequisite
also then** looks you failed the prerequisite grammar test
and btw i never claimed to be a 'harmonizer' anyways
Matthew D'Ercole then*
how can you complain about someone's spelling when you either can't spell or don't know grammar
Matthew D'Ercole they obvi not of this person thinks 5H isn't going to make it big ! No doubt
Matthew D'Ercole jamie could be a new fan of fifth harmony so she might not be 100% on spelling but spelling isnt whats important its the enjoyment of the music
hell ive been a fifth harmony fan for a year and i still spell camila wrong and lord knows i spell jauruegergi wrong everytime
Younger tv series sound !
Some people need to relax a little bit!, I know, I know, Camila sings a lot!!!, but it's not her fault she has an unique voice and the producers decided that she should "lead" the song, it's not her fault. I truly don't think she would be like "yo' I wanna sing the whole fucking song!!!" You guys didn't said anything when you heard "Reflection" for the first time and realized that Normani is literally singing the whole song! and I don't think this is a good song for Dinah's voice.
The producers decide who is gonna sing each verse or part of the song, so this is not Camila's fault.
If you get tired of hearing Camila's voice then you should keep it to yourself, she's awesome. I never get tired of hearing any of their voices.... sorry
just like how everyone doesn't complain about how harry literally sings like 3/4 of every song. they don't get to choose. and even if they did, they would've seen who fits the song better. i mean, they could always just edit camila's voice loder than the others,
seriously? you are telling people to go kill themselves because they are tired of hearing Camila's voice.. what are you.. 5 years old?
Fortitude Missy Firstly you cannot compare 1D and 5H. everyone in 5H can sing very well but in 1D only liam, harry and zayn can. Secondly, have you even been in the 1D fandom?? everyone was complaining about the uneven solo distribution. Thirdly, they obviously listened because they now have more equal solo distribution i their new albums. Lastly, Zayn is now getting the most solos though he is the least popular because he has the best voice.. and lastly, why should we just accept that Camila sings 70% of the songs? we are not the 1D fandom.
Fortitude Missy 1. I'm in the fandom and I'm telling the truth that in 1D Louis & Niall can't sing as well as the other three. I don't coddle the boys. it's a fact that not all of them can sing well.
2. LOL you're so mad. I am in the 1d fandom and I have all their albums. why are you assuming that I'm not? lastly, i don't care that i offended you. the truth hurts. They did complain about uneven distribution as harry got a lot of solos way too many and I see the same thing happening here except that Camila is not the best singer and therefore should not get the most solos. It's not the same we can't compare 1D & 5H.
If camila continues this way then 5H will probably break up.
icedwhite mocha the word "seriously" should go to you. she doesn't mean the word "kill" literally obviously. and you are the one who needs to chill with your hate for Camila. your hate comments are all over the place. as Dinah would say #getyolife . do you think she would like supporters like you? especially knowing the relationship she has with Camila.
I wish we could all get along like we used to on The X Factor. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy.
Hahaha this is the best.
ill admit, even as a guy this song is a real guilty pleasure
It's crazy, last year it was impossible to me to listen to them... But now I love their new 2014 songs ♥
Vote for 5th Harmony !!! EMA 2014 !!
its so catchy tune it gave me chills this song is in my head now, and that bridge though made my life 😍😍🙌🙆
2019? This song is amazing 😇
Another single where Dinah does not have a solo..
And another single sure Camila does. With all Dinah's talents she is truly under utilized.
once again camila has them all..
good fuckin cry about it dinah aint SHIT
Cause camila is a lot more popular and has that typical pop voice
dinah doesnt seem to mind. maybe she leads the christmas song they have coming out.
i just wish dinah had a solo :( guys its a freacking single, every member should get a solo.
If your heart is like a sledgehammer.....u need urgent help from a doctor
😂😂😂
😂😂
Nigel Njanina 😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
OBSESSED WITH ALL OF DINAH'S PARTS !!!! (Don't hate me for having a sense of humour lol)
Wooooowwwww!!! I fell in love with this song from the first beat!!! Soooo much better than boss!!!
why are people so narrow minded? here's the thing, they're called fifth HARMONY. if everyone's just complaining about any of the girls not getting enough parts, remember, there's more to the song than just the main melody. the main reason why 5H songs have that edge is their HARMONIES. and i bet dinah's voice is well suited for that. if you notice in their live performances, she and ally do the main harmonies for the high notes, and usually they support whoever's singing the chorus.
so please, stop whining. each song has a different character, and they're only choosing whose voice fits the song's character best.
in a nutshell, STOP HATING. SUPPORT THE GIRLS! SPREAD LOVE, NOT HATE!
:)
I love the song but I'm guessing Dinah has an entire song to herself in the album; I mean she does have alot of songs to make up for.
These girls killing another song! Keep up the great music, and I'ma keep on buyin!
You all heard We know ,reflection , going nowhere . All the girls have their moment .
This song fits camila's voice the most . Why you all are so mad about this ? It's not about the equality it's about the best result . Go listen to Who are you if you want to hear Dinah .Go listen to We know if you want to hear Lauren . Go listen to BOSS if you want to hear Mani and Ally's magical high notes. This is FIFTH HARMONY where EVERํYONE IN THE GROUP HAS STRONG/UNIQUE VOICE TO LEAD IN CHORUS .
THEY NEED A BREAKOUT HIT AND THIS COULD BE IT >SUPPORT PLS
🙌 yes
Why should I support this and it doesnt showcase a group it just showcases Camila's rather annoying vocals. When I hear Dinah-Jane Hansen then it will be worth my time.
Jhonathan Montoya bitch did you remember when LA clearly said if she had remembered the lyrics to the song she took 30 mins to try and learn she would have been entered as a solo artist. Dinah has what it takes to go solo and she will one day and SLAY.
Christopher Curtis calm down. dinah would flop on her own right now. I agree they aren't using her voice properly but she wouldn't be successful on her own right now. None of the girls would.
People are saying how camila is too good to be in the group or how she should be solo or w.e, well if it was like that, I think simon wouldn't have eliminated her with the rest and put her in the group... I love camila but I love all of them as well and love them as a group, I'm glad they were put into a group and not solo artists. Obviously it was a great idea, they all sound good together...
lol oooookk, after seeing all your comments, i'm not gonna waste my time arguing with you lol
Camila doesn't sound as good without the rest of them tbh
Maya Mercho yeaa, she has a good voice but all of them together they sound amazing
normani slayed this song 😍 ...
Love this song!!! :)
Meh
lol
cool
I really don't know why people try to deny that Camila gets a solo on every song. I like Camila just as much as I like the other girls and its kind of obvious that she's getting more parts because she has the most amount of fans, and how do you sell a song? You attract the most amount of fans (Camila's fans want to hear her) I like her voice so I don't mind her singing in every song but if anyone remembers any older girl groups, the reason many broke up was because one girl started to take on 'lead singer' and the rest backup (Pussycat dolls is a great example). I just hope that they can start giving other girls more solos so that they don't have this same feeling of being backup vocals and make it to a third or fifth album.
I love this song so mich
Emmi Yamasaki me to
Emmi Yamasaki oh my sister lilke ths song
So Proud Of Fifth Harmony
Stop complaining about who sings the most in the song and just enjoy the song! Fifth harmony has come so far since the X factor,from have hit singles,an ep,being the first girl group since 2008 and to win a vma and camila and dinah are the youngest artist to win a vma,&they are the first artist to win a vma without an album,to beating BEYONCE in the ema awards and JUSTIN BIEBER! When I found this out I cried! And sure the album might not be the best,but look where it got the girls,look where there talent got them. That's all that matters.
I just discovered this song and now im obsessed... lol
I don't think people realized that Meghan Trainor actually wrote this song, NOT the girls. So, that's why it gives a poppish style to it, and there might be more songs that will be like Sledgehammer that will be on the album. Also, that's why it really doesn't sound R&B. Since, the girls have been working with Meghan in the studio recently. But, this might be an actual hit for the girls on the radio. As much as I wanted "Reflection" or "Going Nowhere" to be the next single, "Sledgehammer" has been doing greatly overrall on the charts. Radio stations are all over 5H now, so hopefully this is a major hit.
Everyone who's complaining about Camila, you fail to realize that this has been happening since the beginning of girl groups/boy bands. Producers lock into a particular voice and tone in each and every group. Yes every member can sing their faces off, but Producers have chosen Camila to lock into. It happened to Nsync with Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez. Danity Kane with Dawn Richard & Aundrea Fimbers even One Direction with Harry Styles. This is the business, it's not personal. What's great about 5H is that producers give everyone a chance to sing. Camila is not the only star but she is the singer who Producers can trust to be consistent. I love all the members but this is how groups work. Stop complaining and just enjoy the Music. Also, purchase the album so they can create more music, more music videos, and more success.
They song is a lot better then Bo$$ and is pretty similar vibes from Miss Movin' On. God, there new music is so diverse and cool and I just never knew how much potential they have. I just want them to have their breakthrough in the music industry very soon and become one of the top girl groups. Btw, this song should be on iTunes soon so please buy!!!!!!!
I liked them on the X factor because all of them got solos not just Camilla their biased to all the other singers I'm upset
Camila*
Seriously your gonna correct my spelling wow my fault if I spelt her name wrong my bad
Camila
i hate when camila sings all!! -.-
Me too hints y she needs to make her own music and stop stealing the spotlight from the rest of the group
Fifth harmony's song hit me like a sledgehammer!!
