chronically online gay explains Fifth Harmony breakup lore 

HOW TO FIX THE AUDIO FOR HEADPHONE USERS: Go into settings-accessibility-audio/visual-switch mono audio on I know u can't hear it in your left ear. thanks. no need to leave anymore comments about it 💋

My right ear is eating this UP.

I like when people say that fifth harmony performed like the were doing a group project but were being graded individually. There just was NO cohesion.

my favorite horror bedtime story is fifth harmony's career

“These days, the 10 year olds are listening to WAP and buying Drunk Elephant. But back in the day, it was turn up ‘Miss Movin’ On’ and go to Target and get an EOS lip balm.” FACTS🤣☠️

Lest we forget Taylor also invited Camila to open for her on the Reputation Tour.

“It’s show business not show friendship” gave me the same vibes as Jade from America’s Next Top Model saying “this is a competition, this is not America’s Next Top Best Friend” 😂😂😂

Another point I think is really important to add about why Camila left the group was because of the smash hit 2016 song of the summer Closer with the Chainsmokers. Camila was the first option to be on the song but was forced to reject it because she couldn’t promote it because she was on tour with fifth harmony. Then Halsey hopped on the song it was a #1 hit going Diamond. Camila has been open about how that stung for her and she definitely took the first out she could get to be a solo artist.

"who on this wall is constantly seen at the scene of the crime when it really has nothing to do with them at all? demetria." king, i was gagged. so accurate.

Fun fact: I won a radio contest to meet them straight after the release of their first album, and the tension was already CRAZY. None of these girls wanted to be there and meet the fans except Camila who made sure every single person in the meet and greet felt special. A lot of our pictures were next to Camila because she legit was the only one who took interest in the fans. Then those pictures hit twitter and everyone was like “ThE FaNs IgNorEd ThE oThEr GiRLs TheY oNLy CaRe AbOuT CaMilA!!!" like we were all criminals 😅 when in fact the four girls didn’t talk to anyone and had rbf the whole time with tweens who had dedicated time and effort to meet them. Camila understood that even at her early age and became my favorite ever since that day. Now I don’t follow her career that much but I’ll always be grateful that she literally made this experience great for me.

I never really was into Fifth Harmony but as a Directioner I remember wanting to give fans some comfort after Camila left and went on the tag. Only half of the tweets were people celebrating her leaving to go solo and the other half celebrating that the group was free of her. I was so confused

1. you forget to include how ally wanted to release solo music first but the management said no to her and let camila to release hers. cant remember which interview she said that 2. dinah is the youngest not cam 3. syco wanted to add a new member for their 5h album but they said no its doesn't make sense and straight out mean - that vma performance

What's crazy about this arrangement is that even the infamous cesspit known as the film industry has figured out not to put random people in an ensemble cast together! You routinely do something called a chemistry check, you rehearse or audition together. Who the fuck thought just winging the casting would end in anything but a train wreck???

The “I’d do that thing too” comment while pointing to Shawn Mendes was hilarious

ally probably hates her bc in those dms that were leaked, camila called ally annoying and said she wanted to kick her every time she spoke

Chronically online gay coverage should just be homed as an entire segment on your channel. LOVE

Nicole mentioning Zach, Zach doing a chronically online girl presentation. Full circle moment

I still can't believe Normani is dropping an album like what 💀💀

as a nicole AND swiftologist stan- this was the best video that could’ve graced my timeline

I feel like you're leaving out a sneaky culprit in the fracture of the group... Miss Khloe Kardashian. Her making Demi specifically call out Camila as the standout was so nasty but honestly iconic

The vine clip of normani dancing lives in my head RENT FREE. what a stark transformation she went through truly

as someone who was a co-admin of a 5H updates account from 2014-2015 i remember every bit of this in real time. i became a harmonizer during their x factor days, i’m the same age as dinah & camilla and i thought it was cool seeing girls my age sing and stuff like that and god seeing all these unfold with my eyes was crazy now that i’m looking back at it.

Loved this so much - please make one for Little Mix!!

I think there were multiple factors for Camila’s standout, I think she had a very marketable personality at the time, she was on tumblr , she was a hard core one direction fan, she appealed to the fans but also , to be very honest, her passion shined on stage, she never lacked once, if it was ballads, she was singing her heart out and the emotion carried, if it was upbeat ,she was having fun…she always very comfortable and confident on the stage in her own way, I never though she was trying outshine someone else,it just seemed natural , even now and in her Havana era , she’s the only one in the group who’s still making pop music , there’s this passion for music and performing that was really direct to the audience and I think that Carries someone no matter what style they’re singing , she even has countless acclaims for her writing and ear for music behind the scenes from producers like finneas, Calvin Harris and etc..

never listened to fifth harmony in my life but you best believe i watched this whole thing and ate it up

36:33 I have to hard disagree about not holding 15 year olds accountable for rac*sm. When I was 15 rac*st 15 year olds still hurt my feelings. Normani was only 16 when that happened as well so like, I think if she’s old enough to be hurt by rac*sm, Camila is old enough to be held accountable for it. That being said, with Normani having accepted the apology for the parts that were against her, I don’t have beef with Camila based on that. Her “private” tumblr posts however… yeah mama is gonna be on MY personal sh*t list eternally for that 🤷🏽‍♀️

I love how every RU-vidr I watch is using this format now, Nicole is iconic for this

I think the reason Camila stood out the most was mostly because even with their horrible contracts and busy schedule she always made sure the fans got the best experiences. She wasn't the best dancer, but she put all her energy into that uncoordinated moves, the other girls clearly resented her, but she didn't let that get in the way of her stage performance and interaction with fans. When i saw them live, that difference was even more proiminent. Normani was the only one who had a competing stage presence (she has the most beautiful smile by the way). The other girls just emaneted "i'm only here because i have a contract to fulfill" energy. That was probably the reason Normani and Camila were there too, but they did not let that show to the fans. Lauren barely even moved her limbs during choreo, she left the stage several times, barely cracked a smile (all understandable considering their situation), but it just made camila and normani shine even more. Ally and Dinah didn't really try to interact with fans... I'm brazilian by the way and Camila went all the way to actually learn how to speak a few sentences in portuguese. Anyways... she gave her all and made every performance feel special for the fans, and i think that's the main reason why she was the star of the group.

Zack is out here SIMULTANEOUSLY performing "messy-boots-on-the-ground" journalism for us AND serving in those green shorts!

this happens in america... imagine how it goes down in south korea

Thanks for the video on music industry war crimes, appreciate you taking suggestions from fan girls in your comments.

I love this format and also love Nicole rafiee, you’d really good at this style of video

going through a breakup and coping by diving into 5h history and listening to evolution of a snake... your timing is impeccable thank you 💓💓

the clips of them i can't 😭😭i love how unhinged u can be while being honest and ur videos are so funny and informative and u have based opinions, not biased opinions

ALWAYS seated for a swiftologist video

Can’t wait for the next one (Haylor), and I love this Nicole Raffi tribute.

yasss taking inspo from nicole for the title

Not me thinking this was a Nicole Rafiee collab. Same format and everything 😂😭

I looooved this format. I also really enjoy Nicole's chronically online girl vids so this was just great! It would be cool if you covered 1D's start and breakup lore in a format like this. Also looking forward to the Haylor one!

This one and Uncarley's (the absolute queen) are the best explanation of what a clusterfuck Fifth Harmony actually was. Keep it up Zach! 😊

This is the Fifth Harmony history video that I have longed for in years. The only thing I wished we could have gotten more from what the solo endeavors from the other four members. The one thing that always stood out to me was out of the four, Ally was the one who kept pushing out the most in her career…her debut single had some support to make the music video look expensive; releasing her first memoir; voice acting in a cartoon show; her RU-vid podcast; Spanish singles, etc…and yet, the public just wasn’t interested, and I think that caused her to get dropped by Atlantic. Meanwhile, Normani still got a lot of demand to release her album despite her being silent. In comparison, Dinah was also really silent, but no one was demanding an album from her. So some of these topics being explored could have been at least worth delving in a little more, especially around Normani and what her role in the music industry means for her fans.

No cause Camila was a coach on the season of the voice I was on. She was my favorite human ever I adore her. She was so kind and made everyone feel so loved 🩷

i love it when my fav youtuber takes inspiration from my other fav youtuber

You ATE with this format omg more please

omg we need more of these videos in this format

love this format! Little mix next! They’re mostly drama free but everything with Jesy 😒

i hope you explore future videos with this concept because this was such a fun watch!! loved your commentary and your takes🩷

This format is excellent. Keep it coming!

The evidence board and your use of stories stringing the lines between everyone involved is next level work! Great video Zack!

I LOVED this video, the format and detail, I would want more and also more clips/images of tweets when possible 😘 you did a really good job explaining this to someone who was not that familiar with all the lore and only started being interested because of the recent TikTok resurgence of 5th harmony.

not u calling a sams club an old folks home im CRYINGGGG

You did a great job balancing the information with humor! I'd LOVE to see a video like this on little mix as well/ Also I remember missing the twitch stream where you went over 5th harmony and their performances, so I am SO GLAD you did this video!

wow. just finished watching and I'm so impressed by how well researched and well written this video is. enjoyed every minute!! would love to see more videos like this... (and im still waiting for the melodrama video essay 🙏)

probably my fav video of yours! needing a 1d one!!

I saw this title and thumbnail and immediately said “NICOLE!!!” Love both of your videos! 🥰

Love Nicole’s videos, and I love your take on them!

I love this format! That was a video I had no idea I needed

Nicole Rafiee and Swiftologist are my favorite RU-vidrs... the content crossover is insane.

Loved this so much. Love the way you present, how you articulate yourself and your humor, I was cracking up from your comments. The format is perfection, I can listen to you speak about anything. Very much ENTERTAINED for the entire hr

I just woke up to this 🥳🥳🥳! Zachary you never fail to showcase your work ethic and your passion to your on craft! Loved the video 10/10

Thanks for the great tea Zack!!

I just paused my television, jaw on the floor, to run to my phone to write you this comment. You just keep getting better and better with your subject choices. You’re three steps ahead of us, Icon. This is the video I didn’t even know I needed in my world. 💜

Really didn’t know a lot about fifth harmony aside from a few of their songs but this video was very entertaining! Hope you’ll do more of this kind of format.

I LOVE THSES TYPES OF VIDS TYSM!!!

Now as an harmonizer this is THE SHIT King, you never stop feeding and surprising us❤ BTW set your audio on mono to enjoy with both ears so Zack doesn't lose his sanity

I'm so exited for this video can you maybe also make a similar video for one direction if you know enough about them?

You are really good at not being boring and talking to us like we are in the same space. Your videos are a guilty pleasure. I am obsessed with the t swift play by play videos but I do enjoy the breakdowns of these pop culture moments. Keep doing it.

Just found you and truly clicked bc of the format and now I’m subscribed can’t wait to see everything else 🤩🤩

love this format keep them coming ! spice girls, little mix any pop culture tea love it

we need more of this style of video this is so class

Love this, one small correction, you made reference several times to Camila being the youngest in the group, Dinah-Jane was actually the youngest by a couple months.

I’ve always been infatuated with the chronically online thing that Nicole Rafiee does. This is such a cool format. I love your take on it!!

really loved this style!!! i knew like nothing about fifth harmony so this was fascinating

I didn’t know a lot about the fifth harmony fallout but WOW THIS VIDEO WAS SOOOOO INTERESTING. Amazing execution keep doing what ur doing💜💜💜

Coffee and a messy boots vid, best way to start my Sunday

thanks for giving us the rundown on this, queen. this is true journalism.

YAY! The video from that post is made! Praise The Fifth Harmonyologist!! ❤

I know what you did last summer is a certified banger and I will not accept other opinions. But I very much appreciate this video.

I liked the format, keep on the good content king

I absolutely love this format and want to see more of this. Please and thank you ❤

I love messy 'behind the curtains' stories like this. I also feel like this style of video would be great for exploring the writing and events timelines of Taylor's (and other artists') albums.

The were few main issues with Fifth Harmony: a) the contract they had was truly awful, the label, the management was all awful and producers didn´t help it either. b) there was completely no unity, you had 5 girls that had no intentions to be in the group, there was no real friendship, it was colleague friendship and on top of that both public and people around them were consistently putting them against each other. You have to give it to Camila though, because she was quite a mastermind during her time in band, the way she orchestrated everything to fall in a place is for history books. When Camila said that if she was allowed to be part of creating process she would stay for that 3rd album while working on her solo album i truly believe her. Although she had plans to leave band for a long time she clearly didn´t want to end it on a bad note. And she definitely learned a lot of tricks from Taylor that she used in both her career in 5H and her solo career. She debuted with 4 very different songs: Crying In The Club, I Have Questions, OMG and Havana. She had album prepared but once Havana started smashing she was able to adapt and rework the album completely in matter of just few months. In my opinion Camila truly was the star of the group, she´s the only one from the group that had an actual vision of her identity as an artist, what kind of music she wants to make and turned all of that into reality. She had only bit more over 1 year ahead in her solo career but she was able to put out 3 album with 4th one getting released this year. Non of the other girls had any idea what they want to do as artists and that´s why their careers flopped. Normani has potential but everything takes her too long. Lauren has a vision but she has no interest in being a pop star. And both Ally and Dinah have completely no clue what are they doing. I´m fan of the group and all their solo careers and i hope once we´ll get a reunion. I don´t care if it´s a song, a tour or just 1 single performance but i definitely need to see a reunion sometime in my life.

LOVE this format, more please :)

Love this video format. I sure hope to see more like this from your channel 🫶🏼

Loving the chronically online gay explains series btw.

Fifth harmony is literally my Roman empire thank you so much Zach 🙏🏽

love this formatttt

This video is amazing! Love the different set up for it ❤

As an harmonizer I wanted to hate this video, but honestly this is the funniest break down of Fifth Harmony’s breakup so thank you

The way that I’ve never been a Fifth Harmony or Camilla fan in any capacity (I’ve only JUST recently developed an appreciation for the song ‘Work from Home’) but I’ve always found their story and drama so fascinating. And, though I feel sad for each of the girls in what was a very difficult and toxic situation,… I’m so glad this drama exists. It’s wild.

i’m loving this format! also idk where i was but i missed all of this drama when it was happening in real time

This was so fun! Thank you! I am always seated for your videos

omg i love this pls do this for little mix too!

I loved that song Miss Movin’ On… 😂 what a bop that was. I feel like it was always easy to see the tension within Fifth Harmony… I can’t wait to hear Normani’s album! Loved this video Zach! ❤❤❤

Great video!! Love this format

I didn’t know I cared about this until you started talking. Thank you for informing us on this important information.

Is this a Nicole Rafee reference? Cuz i love it ❤

I was never a fan of this group, nor did I know anything about them aside from Camilla being part of it then leaving and opening for Taylor.... but I watched this whole video because I'm a Swiftologist stan. And I enjoyed the tea! More please! 😂

My right ear loves!!!!!! I would love to see more of these picture on the wall let me explain type of videos from you!

Love the format!
