Another X Factor band where one of them quits and the other four vow to continue on...

A bit of a random time to leave when they're on the top

Yes, it is strange for her to leave after they had a good 2016. Personally, I think they're better off without her. She was never 100% committed to the group from the beginning and that became more obvious as time goes by. She is a talented girl but the female popstar market is overcrowded at the moment, so I can see her solo career going the same way as Nicole Scherzinger's.

Aw

It'll be strange seeing 5H become 4H, but I think this could go well for Camila as she has already had a few decent solo songs come out so; here's to hoping

She was the weakest link in the group anyway. Nice enough voice, but vocally the weakest.

I don't know much about 5H individually, but Camila was the most popular one right? I think there was a lot of tension between her and the other members for quite a while.

Camila was by far the star of the group, but I think I'll enjoy them more now than before, especially if they change the direction.

I never rated her as a vocalist and I never understood why she was featured so heavily on their singles.

My impression of Camila was she was quite marmite; some 5H fans loved her and others didn't like her because of stuff she wrote on social media pre-5H and when the group first started. I think the group dynamic will improve now she's left

Last week Camilla's song with MGK passed a falling 5H single on the US Pop chart. It was very symbolic!

All these girls wanted to be solo artists. Being in a group, no matter how successful, was always a consolation prize.

That's the danger of putting strangers together in a group. They have nothing to fall back on when things go sour.

Perhaps Gifty could replace her. She performed most of their back catalogue on live TV in front of Simon.

Normally I would say this would be the end for a group when something like this happens, but I think the complete opposite in this case. I couldn't stand Camilla and I find all of the other girls far more interesting. I actually think this is good for the group. Yeah

I have to agree. I wouldn't say I disliked Camilla, but I never understood their team's obsession with having her vocals all over their songs whether it be actual lines or ad libs. It wasn't like she was a Beyonce or Nadine in the vocals department. The reaction online has been fairly positive to her leaving (as in people saying the group can continue without her) so fingers crossed.

I agree. Their team were always obsessed with her. The others are all very popular and loved as well though, so I reckon they can carry on. I haven't heard it, but apparently Camilla has featured on a song with another artist and it's entered the charts in the U.S at a very good position, which led her to leave the group. I don't think she's strong enough to be a solo artist which it's obvious that's what she's after. She's got the stage presence and the look, but her voice is annoying now and in my personal opinion she doesn't come across very likeable. I agree with you that the reaction to her leaving seems to be positive online. I think the girls can carry on too.

Not too surprising, but I thought she would've waited it out for longer. One solo top 10 and she jumps!

The first 5H contract period expired today. It was either leave now or be legally bound for at least a year, maybe more, depending on how the option periods were set up.

I'm astonished anyone is querying why Camilla got the lead / most attention.

One simple fact, for the management, she was far and away the host.

You're right he wouldn't

But do think that Simon should move them from la Reid label to Columbia Records who look after little mix

Well, really, who DIDN'T see this coming?

Fifth Harmony have been famous for not getting on with each other for years. None of them were friends first, they have very little chemistry when performing or as people; they are very obviously five soloists unwillingly put together, using it as a platform to get their names and faces known until they can go solo again.

Even all their music videos feature one-by-one solos.

Camilla was just one of the most honest about it. This was a strong-willed decision, but she's only following what she wanted in the first place. She - and the other girls - were between a rock and a hard place - it can't be easy dreaming of and auditioning to be a solo pop singer, and instead being recruited to work with four other random girls to pretend to be friends with for every waking minute.
