What's up, guys? Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood, about to crash another Dancing with the Stars rehearsal. This time, I'm with Fifth Harmony superstar Normani Kordei. I'm hanging out with you guys. We're buddies now. I saw you guys doing a move. You have to teach me that move. What was that?
It was, yeah.
Oh, you're going to teach me the pivot? Okay. Give me some pointers here.
So, go forward with your right foot. See, that's around. Through him. There you go. What's good? That was actually really good. So, that's instinctively, I guess. You see a body and you want to go with it. Yeah. For us to pivot, you need to go through. There you go. And I will pivot us as you move us. So, we work together. So, I rotate us and you move us.
Okay. I feel like that scene in Dirty Dancing. You know, when when she's behind the hips? Uh-huh. Here we go. Ready? Sorry for touchi—
I love No, touchi
You're touching my butt. Normani's touching my butt. This is good. This is a nice butt.
There. Good girl. I love it.
Okay. That's a nice That's a nice butt. Sorry, I had to. It's inspiration. Inspired, now let's do it. Now, Normani, we're here at your rehearsal, and we're starting to stretch a little bit. I know, I have to. You're on tour with Fifth Harmony. You're rehearsing. Talk about the scheduling. How are you keeping up?
It was very wild on top of us recording our third album. It's It's been very tough.
Give us the goods on the album.
I can't.
Why? You're not going to watch it?
No, you'll just have to wait.
It's worth waiting though. What do you think of the music? I think it's amazing. I'm excited for them. I'm excited for the world to hear it. I I'm a fan. I'm a Fifth Harmonizer now.
He's the biggest fan.
Wow. Now, talk about your dancing together. How's it going? You made it to the finals. Need I say more?
Yeah, that was perfect. It's almost over. Okay. That really hurt right here. Oh.
Now, when you were watching Dancing with the Stars with your grandmother back in the day, could you ever imagine you'd be here?
No, I mean it was a dream, but I didn't think I'd actually be in the finals. And it's a really big moment for her too, just because she's out there every single week. She was actually part of my performance last week too when I did my my jazz routine. And I got to give it to my city, which was New Orleans. So, it's It's really cool to see that I'm able to be part of the reason and blessing, you know, my family and making them so proud.
You think you're going to take home the Mirrorball again? Because you are the reigning champion.
This season is about Normani, and I want to give her the trophy so she can cherish it for the rest.
You're lying. You want the trophy again.
I mean, that wouldn't that wouldn't hurt. Why not? It is just a better number. Amen. Forward. Nice. Woo! There you go. And then a dip. Beautiful. You can kick that leg higher. And kick. There you go. Nice. Good job. Girl. Yeah.
