All-girl group Fifth Harmony proved on Thursday that they can impersonate well-known artists including Adele and Rihanna. The American pop group wowed viewers with their impressions of different recording stars.
In a video posted by Billboard for its #Hot100Karoke segment, all five members of Fifth Harmony impersonated famous pop stars. Camila Cabello sang Ellie Goulding's 2014 hit "Outside" using her breathy tone to copy Goulding's singing style while Lauren Jauregui performed Adele's hit single "Someone Like You."
On the other hand, Ally Brooke sang Meghan Trainor's "No" and even imitated the way she spoke. Rihanna was also impersonated by Normani Kordei through the 2010 song "Man Down" while Dina Jane Hansen sang "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis.
E! News said all Fifth Harmony members are used to doing impressions of various artists since they were contestants for The X Factor USA before being merged into a girl group four years ago. They placed third in the singing competition.
When they were already making a name for themselves, E! News said they also performed covers of other artists. Hansen also sang Lewis' hit during an interview last year while Brooke imitated Simon Cowell.
Along with their Billboard video release, Fifth Harmony also debuted their music clip for their single "Write On Me." This is going to be part of their upcoming album 7/27 which will launch on May 27.
According to Rolling Stone, the Fifth Harmony members were shot separately while doing solo parts in a black-and-white video format. They also made use of stools, microphones and even doodle shots at the beginning of the video to make it more appealing.
It was added in the same report that the song has a house beat to which the members sing. "Everything is gray until you draw me, touchin' on my body like you know," read part of "Write On Me's" lyrics.
