Exploring Normandy’s audition

Proud Mary by Tina Turner was Normandy’s audition song choice and as soon as she sang the words “…and we’re rollin’” Katy Perry bolted out of her seat and said “f*** this ya’ll I’m outta here, I will not be set up“.

Normandy then continued with her rendition of Proud Mary before Katy asked her to perform an Adele song.

Her second performance also blew the judges away as well as tonnes of American Idol viewers judging by Twitter. One fan wrote :”I think I’m in love with Normandy on American Idol . I don’t know how she’ll survive competition rounds, but adore.“

Normandy already has tonnes of fans

It’s safe to say that Normandy is set to gain a lot of fans during her American Idol journey. Even just from her audition, lots of fans are sharing their love for Normandy on Twitter.

She’s already got a following of over 23K followers on TikTok and she also has a YouTube channel.

Another fan wrote on Twitter: “Actually, Normandy’s voice on American Idol isn’t unprecedented. Back in the day, R&B singer Michel’le belted out hits w/ a singing voice quite distinct from her speaking voice, the latter of which sounds similar to Normandy’s.”.

She often takes to TikTok and IG to share her life with her fans and her YouTube channel looks to be more gaming-related.
