Normani has been said to be one of the best female contestants to ever appear on Dancing with the Stars. She has received numerous perfect scores and wows the judges each week with her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy.
The singer is the frontrunner at this point in the competition and arguably the person to beat. But Dancing with the Stars viewers know that anything can happen when it comes to fans casting their votes. Will Normani make it to the finals?
Below is a list of 9 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Normani Kordei:

- She entered the spotlight by auditioning for Season 2 of Simon Cowell's The X Factor reality series as an individual singer.
Instead of advancing as a solo act, Normani was placed in a group with four other young female singers -- Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke, and Camila Cabello. (But Camila left the group last year).
