I know, I know. This recap is late. The truth is “EdHill� is actually a team of 6 writers and 3 of them were on vacation last week so we were a little behind in catching up. Yeah that’s right, 6 writers. Hell, “J-Unit� alone is a committee of 12 writers, 2 of whom are former members of Monty Python. What you think just one man can come up with these side splittingly funny jokes and screenshots? If so I’d like to meet him. He must be the most fantastic man alive.
But enough of that, lets focus on what were all here for. The penultimate episode of Making the Band 3. Diddy is about to make his girl band. Who will it be? Will I get to see large billboards of a scantily clad Dominique? Or maybe Denosh? Just think how big her Adams apple would look like hanging from Times Square. But first things first, as the girls are opening for the Backstreet Boys in front of tens of dozens of 12 year old fans, and we finally see which girls can handle the pressure and which ones will crack. Or their voices at least.
Unfortunately this is the second episode in a row without an appearance by Diddy himself besides the obligatory opening intro. And he is sorely missed. Where are the goofy challenges, the chases in Rickshaws or carrying around the Bichon Frise named Cha Cha? Not only that this is also the second episode in a row where we don’t even get to see any eliminations. Nope, this episode is all about their performance in DC.
The show opens with the girls still trying to grapple with the reality of opening for the Backstreet Boys. A dumbstruck, and I emphasize the dumb more than the struck, Wanita says “How much bigger can we get?â€? Then realizing it was the Backstreet Boys they were opening for and not U2 (or even Clay Aiken now that I think about it) she then adds in after an uncomfortable pause “….of a challengeâ€?. Nice recovery Wanita.
The two groups Diddy split them up into consists of Aubrey, Denosh, Melissa, Kelly and Jasmine. Group two is Shannon Wanita, Dominique Dawn and Aundrea. Group one decides to name themselves S.H.E.. This was after realizing that K.I.T.T. was already taken and calling themselves FEMA wouldn’t send the right message. Although if you ask me it would’ve been perfect. Whenever I think of Making the Band the first two things that pop into my head are “incompetence” and “natural disaster”. S.H.E. stand for “She Has Everythingâ€?. “We wanted to come up with something that was feminine, powerful and sexy.â€? says Denosh. And what screams sexy more than acronyms? I think every chick who ever worked for GLADD is a hot momma. I don’t even know what that stands for and I think its hot!

No joke, this is Denosh saying the word “feminine”. Some of these jokes write themselves.
The other group was much more creative. They called themselves “Chain 6″. At first I smiled knowingly thinking that they must have named themselves after the 6 DNA chains of Fibrinogen that are covalently linked near their N-terminals through disulfide bonds that is part of the process of blood coagulation. But then I realized not everyone loves DNA jokes as much as I do (But if you do, I have a killer joke about polypeptides).
The girls are all off to the final dress rehearsal for the (kinda) big show. Chain 6 decides to go with an urban 30’s look. And I was amazed to find out everyone in the 30′s wore sexy Capri pants. I should’ve paid more attention in school. S.H.E. on the other hand went in a whole different direction, choosing as their motif “post apocalyptic world ruled by hot sex starved women who need men to continue the human race”. At least that’s how I interpret five chicks in booty shorts and gold bra’s. Well, 4 ½ if you count Denosh.
And right from the beginning the sexy look of S.H.E. intimidates the other group. And it shows in their rehearsals. S.H.E. rocks their song with Laurie Ann and Doc both impressed. Even Denosh’s man ass wasn’t a liability.

Exhibit 5. Man Ass.
When Chain 6 starts Doc cuts them off after the first verse. “You hear the pitch drifting?� It just goes down hill from there. Dominique isn’t coming in at the right time, Taquita is holding her mic too low. They are making all sorts of mistakes. Not a good omen.
With that the girls are off to D.C. The Nissan Pavilion to be exact. Not the most impressive arena I’ve ever seen (The TVGasm on Broadway show played in a 15 thousand person arena) but it’s big for them. Taquita, who’s proving to be the funniest one with her voiceover interviews, says “It seats like ten thousand people or more.� I have a feeling the “or more� won’t be necessary with the Backstreet Boys. No, that joke never gets old. Why do you ask?
S.H.E. goes through their sound check and we see Andre Harell in the audience rocking back and forth, clearly enjoying their performance. This prompts Aubrey to say “We are the real deal.� Uh oh. I sense a reality show beat down coming on. Like when Judd talks like he’s the leader of his tribe and then 20 minutes later Probst is snuffing out his flame and he’s calling everyone scumbags.
Group 6 is even more distressed now. Dawn says “They are coming out with fire and we are coming out like timid girls.� Man, too bad they didn’t have Dylan in their group because we all know he spits hot fire.
And even though the girls think they did OK, Andre doesn’t feel the same way. He wants to meet with the girls personally before the show. I hope its as inspiring as the empty “keep reaching for the stars� type pep talk he gave Dominque a while back, Well, he does us one better. “Give me a shivering leg. Give me a hand movement. Give me something that makes me feel that you got a hot part in the record.� Umm, excuse me? What the hell does that mean? All I know is I am hoping I get too see 6 girls who spend the entire time onstage shivering their legs and flailing their hands about. Andre’s confusing mixed metaphors just freaks the girls out more and they leave shocked. Poor Aundrea is devastated and goes to her trailer crying. Doc tries to console her with some platitudes of his own. “Just stay true to yourself. Can you do that for me? Can you do that for Aundrea?� Wow, we have a new champion of the empty pep talk. Even Aundrea can barely sit through it. If one of my friends is ever depressed about something and I say something like “Just stay true to yourself. Can you do that for me? Can you do that for sg-dub?�, I would expect a punch to my cooter. And I don’t even have one.

Gratuitous boob shot of the week
It’s showtime. And the arena is filled with screaming 13 year old girls and their moms. You can feel the electricity. Johnny tells the audience that they are to judge the groups to see which one they like the most. When he says that they cut to S.H.E. waiting in the wings and Kelli does this really fast butt jiggle of excitement that makes me think “Aubrey who?� Ahh, so much talent packed into such small shorts.
S.H.E. starts their act and right out of the gate they absolutely sucked ass. They were incredibly off pitch and the audience, including Laurie Ann, Doc and Johnny are shell-shocked. Laurie Ann puts her fingers in her ears, but Laurie Ann likes to schtick for camera time so I wouldn’t put too much into that. I mean, how pitch sensitive do you think a Backstreet Boy fan really is?
The song gets so bad that when they are done the audience boo’s them. Yep that’s right. Actual boo’s. Suck on that Denosh.

Purple make Andre Happy!
Next up it’s Chain 6. And they, to borrow one of the colloquialisms of the moment, rock da joint. Right from the get go they are getting cheers and they actually do a pretty good job.
After its all over they bring both groups on stage and tell the audience to cheer for which group they liked the most. And S.H.E. finds out that they do not in fact, have everything. More boo’s even louder than before. As for Chain 6, the audience goes insane. It was Like Oprah’s “My Favorite Thingsâ€? times 10. Now I may be wrong here, but I think one woman was so excited she literally flung her child onto the ground. And goddamit who can blame her? It was Chain 6 for god’s sake!
Now its time for the fallout. Backstage Doc tells them that Denosh came in on the wrong pitch and it was all down hill from there. That’s right, the little dictator who thought her shit didn’t stink, screwed it for all of them. Denosh, being the true pain in the as she is, takes it in style “It frustrated me, not so much that I came in sharp, cuz I mean, things happen. But we didn’t adjust, we didn’t recover.� That’s right Denosh, it was everyone else’s fault that you suck. She should go into politics, and not just because I want to hear “The senate recognizes Senator Denosh� on CSPAN. Her campaign slogan will be “For real y’all. I don’t bullshit.� Hell I’d vote for her but my state keeps electing Lieberman to the senate so we’re not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed (yeah, that’s right, I’m getting political in a Making the Band recap. Stay tuned because at the end I will analyze the negative economic repercussions of the flat tax).
On the bus ride back the girls from S.H.E. are coming up with endless excuses, and the girls from Group 6 are quietly taking it all in with a smile. And Aubrey, even though I still love her, out stupids them all. “It really is not even about the performance, and it seems funny because as artists that what we do is perform.� HA! I haven’t heard an excuse that lame since President Harding and the Teapot Dome scandal. Am I right? Hmm, on second thought, maybe I should lay off the politics…
Taquita overhears this and her little post interview cracked me up. “Y’all got booed cuz y’all was on the wrong note.� She then does an impression of their horrible singing and MTV inserts boos into the background. Nice.

Sweet little Aundrea is quietly elated. And she’s damn cute even without makeup. Oh my god, what am I saying. Does this mean me and Aubrey are breaking up? Hmm. Well, maybe it is time that we give each other some space. And then after a while we can see how we feel and take it from there. Its not you Aubrey , its me. I love you, I’m just not in love with you. you know what I mean?
Anyways, thats the end of the episode. And tomorrow night is our big finale when Diddy finally picks his super group. Who do I think he will pick? going on gut instinct I’m gonna go with;
Aubrey
Wanita
Aundrea
Shannon
Dominique
Yeah I know, I ragged in Dominque a lot. But the girl really is a good singer. And Diddy loves to take risks. Like when he shot that guy in a nightclub. That was risky.
So what did you guys think? Who do you think Diddy will pick? And what’s up with the latest Defense Appropriations bill? You think it’ll ever get out of committee?
If you like it, spread it!:

Better late than never.
That was hilarious!
Thanks Ed!
It’s actually kind of sad how long I’ve been waiting for this recap, but it was worth the wait for all the Denosh man jokes.
For the record I think you’ve got the group right except for Dominique, I think she’s going to be replaced by Dawn. Diddy’s got a thing for skinny chicks.
Hehe, I too, loved Tacquita’s little post SHE-suck interview. She really was spot on with Denosh’s voice. Oh, and Melissa looked like a spastic cat on stage. Anyway though, I enjoyed the episode and can’t wait to see who the band is. I think it will be:
Aubrey, Aundrea, Tacquita, Dominique, and Shannon,
OR
Aubrey, Aundrea, Dawn, Wanita, and Shannon. I’m hoping for the former.
Hilarious. But I wish you said more about the performances. I was hoping for some funny comments about that. Like what was up with Jasmine? I thought her head was going to fall off and roll off the stage she was spazing so bad…
i luv your reviews. i was waiting for days for it. the denosh comments were esp funny.
EDHILL YOU ROCK!!!!!!! fockin hilarious.
you are too good for aubrey or aundrea alone. you with both of them should be a fair balance.
CORRECTION: Melissa does the butt jiggling. Very hot part. It was quite a sight. I don’t know how she does it, but I’m glad shes does.
I always thought she was one of the best looking ones (along with shannon
, aubrey, and aundrea).
Regardless I don’t she’ss make it. I think Aundrea and Aubrey will make it. As for the rest, I’m a bit in the dark.
“Now I may be wrong here, but I think one woman was so excited she literally flung her child onto the ground. And goddamit who can blame her?”
I think that was Dominique’s mom. Can’t ya’ll see the resemblance? They showed her too much not to have any significance and what random woman would have that much enthusiam for a potential girl group??? Just a thought…
That was my thought..the audience was stacked with family/friends of the girls
“Diddy” likes to shock, so who knows what combo he is gonna pick. I gotta say, Aubrey is obviously in
Shannon is direct competition with Aubrey, so my guess is shes out. plus she bugs me.
Melissa is competition for Aundrea….and Melissa has no personality that really stands out…shes boring…Aundrea is cute and marketable.
As for the rest of the girls…Dominique might stand a minor chance…Taquita…shes a mess, so who knows…but shes funny. Denosh is such a downer. man ass hahaha
I dunno, I really liked the girl who got voted off like right away…who brought the house down at that mall…singin “Im going downnnnnn”.
The only reason they might go somewhere is Aubrey and Aundrea if she makes it. Something tells me Aubrey is gonna be an attention grabber…I know I wouldnt like her in person…but u can tell she’s got what it takes to make for some really interesting gossip…
TVgasm is my new vice. I live for it. I feel like I’ve made my pilgrimage to Mecca.
Even though I don’t think this group will be successful, as Diddy has lost his touch in the music industry, I hope he picks the ladies based on more than just who looked good in the booty shorts. Wendy Williams supposedly announced the group a few weeks ago as:
Dominique
Aubrey
Aundrea
Taquita
Dawn
That group would be okay…my personal picks are:
Aubrey
Aundrea
Dominique
Dawn
Wanita (although I am almost 100% sure she will not make the group)
I am very curious to see who Diddy will choose! my prediction:
Aubrey
Aundrea
Shannon
Dawn
Dominique
Reasoning: The spoiler pics gave away Aubrey, Aundrea, and Shannon. In case you missed it, go to http://www.aubreyoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=408. I chose Dawn because Diddy really seems to like her and as she has told us, she is “consistent.” I chose Dominque because she has a great voice and her dancing continues to improve (she just needs to work on her facial expressions when she dances).
edhill, how quick you are to forget your beloved aubrey. you should be ashamed of yourself!
EdHIll, EdHIll your comming too late with the recaps. If I do not see a change soon I will strip you of your duties and hand them over to B-side. B-Side is funnier than you are anyway.
my band:
my girls–
aundrea
dominique
dawn
wanita
& then aubrey–don’t care for her one bit
tkdnyc is ON POINT.
Melissa did the butt jiggling… and it was FFAAANN-tastic.
In my book that puts you in the band.
my 5 are
Aubrey,
Aundrea,
Dawn,
Tacquita,
dominique
Great recap
I thought both of the groups did a great job, SHE had a really good song (The only reason why they got booed was beacuse Denosh sounded and danced lame) and Chain 6 preformed really well (but I expected Dominiques voice to be alot better). I can wait for tonight!!
The band should be:
Aubrey (GO AUBREY)
Aundrea (Go Aundrea)
Dawn
Shannon
Her campaign slogan will be “For real y’all. I don’t bullshit.� FUNNIEST COMMENT
Hiya ther EdHill, that was funny. I especially liked this quote:
“And Diddy loves to take risks. Like when he shot that guy in a nightclub. That was risky.”
I have been waiting for this recap and it is finally here. Thanks!
Just a few observations…
#8, I also agree that the women dropping the kid was probably part of Dominiques family, earlier in the season she said she was originally from NYC, but now lived in D.C. (they were in D.C.) and apparently I watched too many of the reruns.
I’m on Team Aubrey with everyone else, but on the bus after the show, when S.H.E. was making all their excuses and she had her legs all drapped across someone’s lap, with her BARE feet dangling, my eyes were drawn to the fact she has the nastiest feet I have ever seen. All alein looking and mishaped toes. I cringe at the thought.
Never shake a baby!
The Denosh man jokes were, as ever, hilarious. But the best part? You pointing out that Dylan spits hot fire. Dude, water through my nose.
Sorry to hear that you and Aubrey broke up…maybe you’ll have better luck with Aundrea…FUNNY AS HELL ED HILL!!!!
Aubrey
Aundrea
Dawn
Dominique
Jasmine
What do we win if we guess correctly!
PS I saw the spolier and Im refusing the fact that Shannon is in the band, she doesn’t stick out at alL!!!!
I don’t think we can rely on the spoilers from the previews because on Aubrey’s live chat on her website, she stated that they filmed multiple endings to the show, and no one knows who has been chosen for the band yet, and they will not know until the show airs on Thursday night.
“on Aubrey’s live chat on her website, she stated that they filmed multiple endings to the show.”
its cute that they think people care that much.
And megan (#20), I didnt notice her feet, I will have to revisit that. That is a deal breaker.
Why do all my celebrity girlfriends end up breaking my heart? Sigh…
Great Recap….
(Hahaha…..Denosh’d msn ass….*snerk* hahahahaaa)
My guess for the girls who make it is:
Aubrey
Aundrea
Wanita
Domonique
And as much as it hurts to say it……Denosh.
But I’d love it if Taquita was picked instead of Denosh…. That girl is funny as hell.
Of course I’m going by the previews for the next week….when they show those girls in their photo shoots and no one else….though they did focus on Shannon’s picture, but I’ll go with the ones I listed above.
finally, i been waiting for this recap.. cant wait for tonight 1hour finale… Edhill, i hearin that u and aubrey are partin.. thats cool, now i have a chance with her.. lol
My SUPER Group:
Aubrey
Aundrea
Shannon
Melissa
Dawn
i hope im right with this decision.. Diddy better pick my girls..
great recap. can we just talk about those lyrics? “lately I’ve been looking for a man, who got it so good I be eating out his hand…” I mean..seriously? WTF?
My pick the group:
Aubrey
Aundrea
Wanita
Dawn
Shannon
denosh used to be one of diddy’s backup dancers, and ahe also was in the movie honey with laurie ann. so dont be suprised if denosh makes it. it will only mean set up from the beginning. and you know they edit so they can slant the story a certain way.
Holy cow. I just wandered over here during lunch since I had already read the posts on shows that i watch. I have never seen an episode of any season of this show, but EdHil, this was one of your best recaps yet. I’m going to be imagining that woman throwing her baby on the foor and giggling the rest of the afternoon.
Great recap from the edhill 6.
There were DEFINITELY people stacked in the audience who knew the girls. And didn’t all those boos sound like guys?? And if so, what the hell were they doing at a Backstreet Boys concert?? (Although I have serious questions about ANYONE at a Backstreet Boys concert). I digress.
Megan, I’m with you on the not shaking the baby, but what’s up with the feet? Are you channeling Marcus Graham (Eddie Murphy’s character in Boomerang)?
My band:
Aubrey (of course!)
Aundrea
Kelli
Dominique
Jasmine
I know people love Wanita and Dawn but they just don’t do it for me.
hilarious!
“Uh oh. I sense a reality show beat down coming on.”
awesome recap! and if dominique doesn’t make the band… i’m boycotting sean john!
Okay I officially LOVE tvgasm. That was hillarious!
More DNA jokes! More DNA jokes!
I lovvvved how you broke up with Aubrey! (Sounds like you’ve been through that shit before) Oh well at least that’s over!
I can’t keep these damned names straight. Aundrea is a little too cutsey dimpley for my taste, and if she’s got nasty feet.. And I think Aubrey caught the same case of jaundice that Danny has but yet I’m a girl so…
Question: why is Kelli even still on the show? Can she sing or Jasmine even sing? Now, we at least know that Jasmine can dance–but, poor Kelli.
I love Andrea…but she cracks under pressure…definitely not the one for the ultimate band. Who cries because your opponent has on booty shorts?
My band:
Tequita
Dawn
Aubrey
Melissa
Wanita
I’m really torn between Tequita and Dominique (poor little muffin can’t dance).
Shannon is hot and the girl out dances everyone…
what’s the deal she gets no air time…is she TOO WHITE??
If she doesnt make it its a sin!!!
I know there are alot of you Taquita lovers out there. But i’m not one of you. Shes sooo naive and she doesn’t seem to have any star quality. And personally, shes not one of the top dancers and her voice is not good. Shes really pretty but not a celebrity. Diddy should have cut her a long time ago.
I am a HUGE fan of Aubrey. She definatly has star quality and her dancing and singing is AMAZING. All I know is shes going to be famous whether she makes it or not. Aundrea is another one who I am a huge fan of. Shes so cute and alot of people like her and Aubrey.
My Final Group (and what i think Diddy’s going to pick):
AUBREY (GO AUBREY!!!)
AUNDREA
Dawn
Shannon
Denosh (HATE HER!!!)
Lazy, wonderful choices on who should make the band… hopefully diddy will think like us, haha!! I agree that Shannon doesn’t get enough air time… same with Melissa too. I love Melissa! I think she is so absolutely adorable… anyone else think so??? I can’t wait for tonight!
Yay for Aubrey, Aundrea, Dawn, Melissa, and Shannon
I agree with Lazy and Mando. Those are a great group of girls to have in the band. The only exeption would be is that Aubrey is SO talented she should just go solo, she’ll be way better off by herself.
Nasty feet are probably her tradeoff for her dance skills. Most dancers have gross feet.
i wish i could of stayed up to watch who makes it but work permits that. but i think aubrey will get it and it suks if dominique doesn’t cause the girl can sing but she can’t dance.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a Making the Band 4? If there is i’m going to audition! Watch out!!
I just watched the reclip of “Aubrey nasty feet”. What are you people talking about, they’re not nasty. Feet are not supposed to be perfect. How do you people notice these things!
Good thinking “ummmm” (I laughed so hard)
“Now I may be wrong here, but I think one woman was so excited she literally flung her child onto the ground. And goddamit who can blame her?”
I think that was Dominique’s mom. Can’t ya’ll see the resemblance? They showed her too much not to have any significance and what random woman would have that much enthusiam for a potential girl group??? Just a thought…
i live about 20 minutes from nissan. its actually about 30-45 minutes from DC and it’s quite small.
to Kelly… it could have been her mom. She said she was from DC so hmmmmm. i bet it was.
YAAAAA!!! That episode was soooo good!!! I got 4 out of 5!!!!!! Horray for me… I guess I could take Wanita over Melissa. Ooooh, they are going to be sooo good! I can’t wait to watch their progress!
gnet ~ You picked the Diddy’s Super Group!
boooo i hate the group…. and you can tell that they were not that excited, that they were not that surprised and they had prerecorded that song or if i am wrong it was atleast rehearsed …that was not the first announcement i bet….with all of those people there was some one there that would have leaked it ..i mean big time magazines and all….other than the assumption based on the commercials……it was kept pretty secret
boo shannon who is she i didn’t notice her at all until her name was called to be in the band
boo wanita that last song was the most i heard her sing all season, she sounded good but it makes you wonder what were they hiding
aubrey sucks, i don’t think she is the star at all
it was clear the star was aundrea all love to her
boo dawn we just felt sorry for her
HA! YEAH! He picked my group. For once me and Diddy see eye to eye. My only comment: Did he really have to send them home again before making this decision? The winners were clear to me after they opened for Backstreet.
I agree with the choices,but I wish we could have heard comments from the girls who didn’t make it. I would have loved to hear Denosh’s excuse as to why she wasn’t picked. Thank the gods she didn’t make it!!
Is everyone kidding? Did yall watch the same show I did for the last year? Diddy and Aubrey have a thing going on! Everyone in the industry is talking about it!Johnny Wright, the talent manager knew this. That is why he looked at Diddy when Aubrey was dancing. Then Aubrey gave it away she and diddy had a thing going cos when she was in the studio singing she said to him,”diddy I have to look at you while Im singing so I can concentrate on these words.” Get real. She was a shoo in from the get go. “Come to Daddy” my ass. That’s why he picked her first! And she gave an extra blowjob for her friend Aundrea…but I’m glad Aundrea won. So we have two black girls for the BET audience and three white girls for the MTV audience. Hmm. Interesting. This group wil not go for, and will flop. this is the reason so many artists have left diddys label cos he rips people off.
i feel like the band is not goin to do good unless they have a hit within the next couple of months, otherwise they will be forgotten
The band sux, bottom line. And was Aubrey really w/ Diddy? What a pity! LOL
an extra blow job for drea oh that’s funny……
diddy did look a little orange on the last episode….
I completly hate this stupid band.They were hatin so bad on my girl Taquita. I didnt want her in the band any way shes to good to waste any more time with that lyin loser. From day one Taquita was the best at the apollo and eveywhere else. Ow me and my family love that girl. Now she gets to shine all by herself yay for Taqweets! And they were hatin so bad on my girl Dominique. Good thing she didnt make the group. That group is a stupid bubble gum, no grammy havin, no money havin,I wont buy there record havin, diddy takes all the money and the credits, and appears in every video cause theres nothin else to do with his life havin pop stankin ass pop group. Those girls my be talented but we shore wont see that not with DIDDY!

I love that Drea and Aubrey made the band, but if you asked me right now I’m not sure if I could tell you who the other ones were. I can’t believe Shannon made it, I forgot she was there until they had that little sit down interview her. They would have been better off with Dominique, she had a great voice, and probably has lot of girls who identify with her.
What was with the creepy “Come to Daddy” thing? I’m starting to believe SHILOH with the whole Aubrey and Diddy dating thing, it seemed like he was just saying it to her then realized that maybe he’s shouldn’t use bedroom terms in public and had to say it to everyone so it didn’t seem so weird. And now that I think back to that whole “Can I face this way?” thing, it did seem a little weird and awkward. Is there any more proof of this? It’s 3 in morning and I need something to help keep me up to finish studying for finals. Oh, the life of a college student/MTV reality tv junkie!
I agree that the woman in the front was Dominique’s mom. She definitely looked like her, and it doesn’t fit that a 35+ year-old woman would buy front row seats for herself and ~3 small children to watch the Backstreet Boys.
WOW!! Diddy picked a really good band. When I heard that Dawn lived in New Orleans and her house got destroyed and that she has nothing, made me even more want her in the band. Aubrey and Aundrea were so cute last night, I was crying when they were sitting at the table with all of the girls. How good was Aubrey at singing that song in the studio with diddy even though he diddnt like it that much, I was like dacin to it (hopefully thats their single). This band is going to be great and I cant wait until their first single come out! I’m buying it!
And I loved how Taquita changed her hair it really brought out her face. Dominique looked like she gained her 10 pounds back along with more. Jasmines hair looked nasty.
Aubrey
Aundrea
Wanita
Dawn
Shannon
is the final group (i watched the finale) i was happy to see shannon get some air time in the finale (better late then never) i thought she sang pretty good considering in the interview things melissa sucked and jasmine couldnt sing “Mary had a little lamb” with the vocal coach. Diddy picked a good group they all blend in and look good together.
how dare some of you say Dawn made the band out of pity!!!! even before finding out about her life after hurricane katrina (even though ive been wondering about that for a while because i remeber her saying shes from New Orleans) SHE WAS ONE OF THE BEST DANCERS AND WAS CONSISTELY PICKED TO BE IN SUPERGROUPS LIKE SHANNON & AUBREY. I felt she was more of the stronger compitetors
Watched the finale last night as well. Some people did seem like weird picks. Dawn was a given, because she was consistent in dance/singing and looks. Dominque is a great singer, but will find her own solo success. Otherwise, Aubrey can’t sing, but she’s hot (Blender says so), so of course she made it and can’t leave out her soul mate, Aundrea. Now Diddy can have his coveted threesome. I think Diddy got on my nerves more than any girl on the show. He is lucky that this generation is hooked on MTV otherwise he wouldn’t have any money. He is definitely not a musical genius and I haven’t seen anything spawned from him that reeks of longevity. Also, does Laurie (?) the choreographer, own any other clothing than Sean John?
yah dawn
taquita looked great and so did shannon…. but shannon sounded like hot mess
They should have tested the ladies ability to harmonize, from the get-go.
I’m still not sure if they are going to harmonize well, now that they are chosen.
Aubrey has always flirted with Diddy. If you’ll remember the dance off toward the end of the last season, she was wearing green pants and staring him down. Even Laurie Ann said “aubrey quit looking at him like he’s a steak!”
Diddy even told that guy in the recording studio, “she’s always doing something…” when she said she had to look at him so she could concentrate
Diddy and Aubrey?
Well, stranger things have happened.
I can’t wait for last nights recap, hopefully we won’t have to wait a week.
Saw the finale…..it was interesting. I was glad Denosh didn’t get picked and glad Aundrea did. Aubrey was a given…..like that was ever in doubt.
IMO, if Diddy and Aubrey haven’t hooked up, they will. There is so much sexual tension between them!
I was surprised that Shannon got picked…..but can anyone tell me why she looked so firggin’ different after she came back from the 3 month hiatus…and it wasn;t just he new ‘do…I swear her face looks different….like she got a new nose or something. Am I the only one who thinks that??
I am so glad that Wanita made the band she was my favorite from Day 1 because she brought a positive energey to the situation!
I liked Dawn (not out of pity) but because she could dance her butt off and she really works hard without wanting to shine be herself.
I have always loved the Aubrey and Andrea combo because they work well together if you remember when Andrea was struggling Diddy chose Aubrey to come out there and get her on her toes, she steps it up when Aubrey is around and they compliment each other vocally.
Last but not least SHANNON I knew she was going to make the group when Diddy said “She dance like a black girl at magic city” from then on he has been sweatin’ this girl and I thought she had a great energy, could dance and sing, and was very positive. Diddy went for choosing a group that would get along moreso than just picking the best out of the bunch, its a chemistry thing!
Overall I think Diddy did great and these are the reasons why the others didn’t make it:
Denosh- I don’t even need to say anything no matter how good she is she will miss up any group dynamics!
Kelly & Jasmine-can’t sing or dance that well mediocre.
Dominique-can’t dance but will succeed by herself as a solo artist anyways.
Taquita-Great girl, I just don’t think Diddy likes the fact that she has a short tension span, the girls he chose work hard.
Melissa-Unsure why she didn’t make the group probably a chemistry thing I though she was a possible choice.
Which ever way you look at it you can’t hate, I enjoyed the show and we knew not everyone was going to like his choices. But we also have to keep in mind there are thousands of hours of tape we did not see and to be there in person is totally different than watching it on TV obviously those 5 blew Diddy and the judges away.
YAY Shannon! Aubrey was a given, I knew they’d pick Dawn after showing that much footage of her and hearing her Hurricane Katrina story, and I pretty much figured that they wanted us to think that Aundrea wouldn’t make it, and then she would.
Wanita has never stood out that much to me, but then again you can’t have 5 REALLY STRONG personalities in one group.
I loved Taquita’s sense of humor, but I don’t think she goes with the other girls, lookswise.
Dominique has a gorgeous voice, but I figured she was screwed after the dance session with Laurie Ann.
And thank GOD for no Denosh! Man ass, ha ha!
EdHill, if it doesn’t work out with Aubrey and/or Aundrea, look me up! You’re hilarious!
I’m excited for the group. Aubrey and Aundrea were givens, but I’m glad they made as they were two of my favorites from the bunch. I’ve really started noticing Shannon and Dawn in the past few episodes, especially before they were chosen when they all worked with Laurie Ann, Dawn was the best dancer. I wasn’t expecting Wanita but it’s a pleasant surprise. I loved Dominique, but her voice would over-power the other girls and she really can’t dance. Maybe she’ll find success with a solo-career. I’m just really glad Melissa didn’t make it, she looked spastic during the BSB concert and when he had her sing in the final episode, she sounded horrible. “Total package” my ass.
I’d wear all Sean John clothing too if I were Laurie Ann gettin it free! Can’t blame her.
My four got picked.. i was hopin melissa got pick not wanita.. but im happy for the band.. and if aubrey and diddy did have a thing, im gonna be pissed.. why does he get all the hot girls..
Diddy definitely LOVES Aubrey and who wouldn’t? I be SHOCKED if they ever got together.. OhH.. Thank GOD Denosh didnt get picked.. Hallalujah.. Look at it this way; now, she can sing BACK-UP for this girl group.. LOL.. HAhaHahA..
i think you mean “attention span” not “tension span.”
I don’t know why but i really like Shannon. She seems like a sweet down to earth girl. I dont know what it is.. im very happy she made the band!
Wanita & Dawn too
Out of Taquita, Denosh, and Wanita i liked Wanita most
She was the hottest and best out
of them. Dominique can go solo. Denosh can work at McDonald’s and sing for a drive through or something.
“Denosh can work at McDonald’s and sing for a drive through or something.” (said by mel)
VERY FUNNY
DIDDY AND AUBREY ARE NOT GOING TO HOOK UP
and personally Aubrey can do better, Diddy’s not that attractive
I think they might become 1 hit wonders like Da Band, oh yeah i forgot, they never had a hit. And I noticed that Miss Aubrey had a little blister on her mouth, hmmmm…………
Diddy did not pick me because of aubrey if we did not have to wear those booty shorts no one would have noticed my man ass and the bump from when i had my penis removed
For the record, I’m definitely crushing on Aubrey (and Aundrea)… but is it me or did sexy Aubrey have a little herpetic sore on her upper lip.
EdHill – was this your doing? If it is, props to you.
Man, too bad they didn’t have Dylan in their group because we all know he spits hot fire
^^^^ i laughed my freakin ass off when i read this
my super group!!!
AUBREY —i love her!
AUNDREA— shes sooo cute
WANITA
MELISSA
DAWN
i dont like shannon b/c…well…i dont see her much on tv. she hardly gets interviewed.
The finale really left me disapointed. I realize that Diddy basically picked Chain Sixx except he eliminated Taquita and Dom and replaced them with Aubrey. I can live with the group he chose with one exception: SHANNON.
She butchered Dangerously In Love by Beyonce. My cat in heat sounds more harmonious than she did. I think Diddy bent to pressure and picked someone that he felt audiences would perceive to be attractive. Well screw that. I don’t care what you look like when I am listening to your song on the radio. I care what you sound like and that group that performed as the episode ended sounded like hot water shit.
The editing on this show was so choppy that you weren’t able to judge each girls ability to perform. However, I love Taquita and I hope that she ends up with her own reality show cause my girl kept me in stitches all season.
By far the best part of the last episode was when Laurie Ann called Dom “Honey Bunches of Oats” and told her that she is all for a stinky face but Dom does too much. YES!! Her facial expressions are hilarious. Looks like she is taking a dump.
My favorite recap of all time.. I loved it!! Especailly, when you had that picture of Denosh saying the word “feminine..” Now, that was hilarious.. Made me crack up for the whole day.. Gotta love it..
Are you gonna have a recap of the finale? I wanna read it soooo bad.. I just can’t get enough of Making The Band.. Or Aubrey.. And Aundrea.. *Sighs* I just love them..
Thank God that Laurie Ann realized Dominiques stinky face. Its been bothering me this whole season.
I am a huge fan of Aubrey and Aundrea, i’m so happy that they won. I was crying when they were sitting at the table with all the girls talking about how good of friends they are. I hope they become really famous even if the group doesn’t make it. Diddy picked a GREAT band, but music groups these days are not lasting long.
Does anyone know if they have a CD or a single coming out soon? or if there is going to be a Making the Band 4, cause if there is i’m going to audition. Watch Out Ladies!
OMG, I was listening to the Wendy Williams Experience last night and guess who she had on….DENOSH. They talked about the whole crappy process, how Denosh has been in the “industry” for a while now aaaand Diddy and Aubrey! Denosh started to say something about it, but then toned it down to “Aubrey definitely has the look that Diddy’s looking for”. Wendy of course tried to get more out of her, but she wouldn’t really say a lot.
Mostly she was just talking about how she’s working on a solo album that she started before she was on the show, that she wasn’t trying to be overbearing on the show, she was just “telling the truth” and she didn’t want to be “one of those girls” who held something back to make the other’s fail. It was mostly a boring interview but she definitely alluded to there being more between Diddy and Aubrey.
yeah…diddy knows how to make a good band!…4 out of 5 of my vets for THE BAND go in..how cool is that…i wish diddy could have picked melissa than wanita but hey i like wanita too..it’s just that i like melissa better…hurray for shannon and aubrey!…love them both…hope they won’t clash..coz i think they are always compared wit each other…
btw, guyz does SHANNON look familiar?! SHANNON BEX was part of FAME in 2002…unfortunately, she came in SECOND place…thank God diddy picked her even though she was HARDLY SEEN ON TV!…
btw, does anybody know what will be the band’s name?!
denosh can suck her own hairy balls!!!
Denosh was just probably really pissed of that she didnt make the band. Its obvious that Denosh doesn’t like Aubrey so she just wanted to spread something around about her and Diddy.
NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY HER CD! WHY IS SHE EVEN TRYING!
EdHill, hurry up with the next episode please!
NEXT RECAP
NEXT RECAP
NEXT RECAP
I like the group that Diddy picked.
Shannon-never heard much from her.
Same with Wanita.
Dawn-was very consistant.
Aundrea-I liker her better than Aubrey.
Denosh-too damn conceited/manly.
Kelly-manly and didnt stand a chance.
Jasmine-her hair was a mess.
Melissa-she did have a look for the group. Taquita and Dom are talented. Dom just cant dance.
I wish the group the best of luck. Even though Diddy is a scammer. He doesn’t have anyone worth mentioning out on his label.
I am satisfied with the final group. As for all the trash talking about Denosh, although she came off negatively on the show, she was talented. Her behavior was what did her in. Nevertheless, I feel that everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves. Denosh suffered her consequence by being excluded from the band. However, it does no one any good to constantly throw someone’s shortcomings in their face. I hope the best for her.
Hurry up EdHill. I’m waiting for your recap. Good lord. I am pleased with Diddy’s selection, but I thought it was weird how the girls sang that song at the end without any rehearsal. I think they knew they were the winners before hand. Also, did you notice Lorinanne’s gut during the rehearsals? dude, c’mon.
i think they made a good choice on who they picked for the band and i honestly dont think they are going to last in bad boy label b/c even mase left to g -unit face it diddy is greedy!! also i felt bad for the girls when they went to the radio interview all jokes were on them. denosh got played when they asked her who she worked for and said “mariah carey” and they told her to” get out” that was funny and f*ck up.
Recap the last episode please! Patience is a virtue and I have none.
Still waiting…
I hope they fix Dawn’s hair first thing. She seriously needs some clothes and a new do.
I really don’t like the extensions on these girls. Aubrey and Dawn would look so much better with their hair a little shorter.
Aundrea’s hair is really cute, it’s as long as she is tall but it looks real.
I like all of the choices. Domonique was getting pissy and on my nerves at the end whenever anyone mentioned her dancing.
She can sing and be on her own. I’ll bet she gets a record deal out of this anyway.
It wasn’t strange that the girls did the song with no rehearsal – as we saw on the show – Diddy had them all singing the song with different combinations of girls. Why wouldn’t they be able to to sing it?
the lack of recap is saddening me.
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE LYRICS TO “TOUCHIN MY BODY”
THE ONE THEY SANG AT THE FINALE?
I don’t know the lyrics to Touchin but I want to know when they are coming out with a record or something. They’d better hurry, everyone is going to forget about them pretty quickly.
I liked that song, Tell me, what ya thinking about…. The one they were singing in the studio.
I couldn’t catch the rest.
How ’bout “Where My Recap At?”
its Tell me, what ya thinkin about when you got me waitin patiently..
uHhH… i cant remember the rest
the rest:
and usually i dont have to wait for nobody, when im tryin to find the words to speeeeeeak
thats all they showed on the show
i think diddy picked out da best 5 – never thought of that combo but WHOA!!! Aubrey’s been a star, shes captured lotsa fans already, tho shes no different than Shannon. Andrea – SO CUTE!!! i think out of everyone she stands out da most! I think shes just as talented as aubrey and everyone else. her dimples, hair -oo-la-laa, personality & height?!?!?!!. Shes got dat charm-cute thing goin on. Shannon does have that ordinary look – but she is gorgeous (curvier dan aubrey) and humble. Speaking of humble – Dawn – great dancer! pretty smile – some people said shes got the crooked face, but her humbleness overides dat! She is real skinny tho. Wanita – didnt really notice her. Taquita’s got that funny personality, but she is too tall to be in group wid Andrea. Denosh -eehhh! Dominique… i think she should go solo… shed blend in wid da band…but her looks will definitely stick out!
i fell in love wid dese girls too
Does anyone know what videos Denosh was in? Would love to see if she was telling the truth.
i am sooo happy that diddy finaly did something right…he picked AUNDREA!!
