Fifth Harmony perform for the first time without Camila Cabello and cut her verse from hit track Work From Home
GIRL power reigned as Fifth Harmony put on their first live performance since bandmate Camila Cabello sensationally quit with a raunchy routine at The People’s Choice Awards last night.
The American chart-toppers were rocked after the 19-year-old left the group just hours after taking to the stage for iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball in Florida in December.
Proving the show must go on, they put on a stonkingly sexy show as they stormed the stage at yesterday’s celeb-studded extravaganza.
Though the teenager’s absence didn’t go unnoticed as Simon Cowell’s band chose to AXE Camila’s verse from their hit track Work From Home.
Rather than tackle the warbling opening lines, they chose instead to skip the lyrics: “I ain’t worried bout nothin’.
“I ain’t wearin’ na nada.”
Clad in sexy PVC catsuits and jumpsuits they strutted around in four individual boxes lined up on the stage.
What they lacked in lyrics they made up for in hip-thrusting actions, showing of their super-toned figures as they shimmied around and slid seductively down the PVC wall.
Dinah Jane in particular put on a very racy display, straddling her legs and writhing around as she chanted out her section of the song.
The four-piece then burst out of their individual stages for a group dance routine.
Tension has been high between Camila and her former bandmates since she jumped ship last year.
In a lengthy Twitter statement, the singer revealed she would also be starting a solo career.
Camila hit back at their claims she didn’t tell them she was leaving and wrote on her page: “I was shocked to read the statement the fifth harmony account posted without my knowing.
“The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during tour.
“Saying that they were just informed through my representatives that I was “leaving the group” is simply not true.”
Her message came hours after the group released a statement revealing the 19-year-old failed to inform her bandmates of her decision – and left it to her representatives to break the news.
The statement said: “After 4 and a half years of being together, we have been informed via her representatives that Camila has decided to leave Fifth Harmony. We wish her well.
“You Harmonizers have been there with us since the beginning, you’ve supported us, you’ve rejoiced and cried with us, you’ve grown with us, and with your love and support, we will continue on.
“That being said, we are excited to announce that we will be moving forward with the four of us – Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui for our fans.”
Shortly after the plot thickened as the surving singers claimed Camila refused group counselling, before they swiftly unfollowed their frenemy on social media.
The group were formed on the second season of X Factor USA, back in July 2012.
Fifth Harmony, who now consist of Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui, signed a joint deal with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Music and Epic Records in January 2013.
Camila was the fifth member, until her decision to leave on 19 December 2016 – after four and a half years.
