(See, why am I gettin’ so wrapped up in all this?!? It’s not like I’ma buy dey album any-damn-way!)

But how they gonna keep Donnie over Dan?!?! Especially with Donnie backtalkin’ Diddy. That was more funny, than anything.

And yeah, Laurie was crazy.

But damn, Diddy was pretty cold-blooded, callin’ in wringers like that! And bringing them into the house while the dudes were asleep! “Yeah, this is the bedroom, one of these beds might be yours, here’s the kitchen, the bathroom, we got a biday in there, that’s what’s up.”

All things considered, I think most if not all of the audience favorites are still in the house, along with about 6 new guys, and THANK GOD, Chris is gone!! But what was up with that one dude who was like pleading with Michael Bivens?!? C’mon, man! I know you want your moment to shine on national TV, but don’t do it by crying about not being picked to be in a boy band!

Oh, and poor Michael. Dru Hill may have gotten away with having a big dude in their group, but Diddy’s not having it. When he came back and asked Michael about the grilled cheese sandwiches, I was just dyin’! The look on his face was priceless. But if it’s true that he didn’t make them all for himself, one HE should have said so, and two the people he made them for should have stepped in and said something. That whole setup just seems fishy.

So believe me, if there are some asian dudes who can rock it on the R&B tip, I’d definitely support them.

PS – I’m really letting my dork-flag fly with this topic, aren’t I?

When was the last time an Asian made it big in R&B in America? Not to be an ass, but it hasn’t happened yet, and I doubt Diddy was going to be the one to usher one in.

Why does Pussycat Dolls outsell Danity Kane? Like I said, no matter how good the resulting album is, no one cares. The public will sooner enjoy what comes before the album. No one watches these shows ’cause they plan on buying the albums. PCD sells ’cause they’ve got far more inventive marketing and a pre-existing brand name. I mean, aside from Nicole Schwerzinger’s (heh, heh “Schwerzinger”!) fine ass, even I’ll admit seeing that someone had a made a pop group out of what is a cheesy, but well-known psuedo-burlesque show, I thought it was rather clever. That drew my attention more than anything. And most importantly, they weren’t tied to a reality show before hand. You’re not seeing the cogs of the machine at work. Your perception of them is less that they’re little more than a product. Granted, they’ve now thrown in with the other reality show whores, and nothing will become of their newest “member”. Furthermore, Danity Kane, from what I’ve seen of them, didn’t focus enough of creating a singular focal point for its audience. PCD has Nicole, Destiny’s Child had Beyonce, etc., etc., etc. It’s the cardinal rule of pop groups. Put as much effort into a “frontperson” as you can, and that’ll be enough. The last thing Danity Kane should have do is put all the girls on equal footing. The audience doesn’t know who to focus on. They’re forced to pay attention to five marginal singer/dancers.
