The cliffhanger from last week's Making the Band was whether or not Danity Kane would give it another try. I have a feeling that this will be the cliffhanger at the end of every episode for the rest of this season and for many seasons to come.
Day26 is back in New York, where cars drive on the right side of the street and fire alarms are far less polite, to make their second album. But before heading to the studio, they all go to dinner together and partake in a little self-congratulatory convo. Will sings a bit of the song "Since You Been Gone." Not to be confused with Kelly Clarkson's hit "Since U Been Gone." They are subtly different in that one sucks and one is awesome. I'll leave it up to you to decide which one is which, but I don't think this mini pop quiz is very difficult for anyone who has a bit of an ear and a part of a brain.
Our guys talk about how "Since You Been Gone" is everyone's favorite song and really defined Day26 as a band. You can truly tell that they all believe this song is nectar to our ears. Sorry, that metaphor is kinda gross and sticky, but I really don't feel like backspacing over it, so we'll all just have to deal. Will says their next album should be a club album, and Robert interjects that he just wants to talk about sex and make some "babymakers." HA! Perhaps something is wrong with me, but this Robert character is really starting to grow on me. But maybe that's because in most of his testimonials on this episode, he is wearing an awesome fur hunting cap. It seems like wearing a fur hat while hunting could be a bit of a gamble, lest Robert be mistaken for a very delicious rabbit. But Robert has always been one of roll the dice, so I'm down.
From dinner, our guys head straight to the studio to meet with music producer Bryan Cox. I know we've met him before, but I can't quite put my finger on the situation. Man, don't you all just love meeting people with the last name Cox? There are SO many of them! I actually have a close friend with the last name "Coxhead." HOW UNFORTUNATE! Even worse, in college, I knew someone with the name "Robin Peters," I kid you not. How these people ever make it through junior high unscathed, I will never understand.
So Mr. Cox thinks the next Day26 album should be more in-depth, more personal, more about defining the sound. The guys all perk up and seem somewhat excited. Bryan plays a song called "Stadium Music," and they all love it. It's very upbeat and clubby. Then he plays another song called "So Good." It sounds pretty much the same to me. Brian actually gets up and dances. And I, for one, have NEVER seen Brian move this much! I worry that he might pop a vein from all of this excitement. Usually we see him bored and sleeping, so I hope they have a heart monitor nearby, so the poor dude doesn't accidentally off himself from too much movement. Someone get the defibrillator!
Time for our "Breaking News" segment. Diddy just wants to plug "Making His Band." Snooze. He says that he'll be visiting L.A., Chicago, Detroit and NYC to find musicians for his tour. If any of you audition for this, then I MUST be the first to know immediately!
Oh man, are you all ready for some MAJOR embarrassment!? Brillo is in Vegas, working as the opening act for the BACKSTREET BOYS. Oy. I used to massively heart the BSB, but I'm pretty sure they are dead. And when you are the OPENER for a dead band, then you are doubly dead, dude. This is just not a good sign. Poor Brills tells us that he's been working his hardest but just doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. He even solicits unsuspecting girls at the pool just to try to find some new fans. The girls giggle from embarrassment and seem largely uninterested. Like most girls by the pool in Vegas, they just want to get back to their daiquiris and trashy gossip mags.

In the backstage photo with Brillo's pet lion, it looks like the big guy there peed his pants a little bit.

Itchy! My crazy French friend! I miss you from my days of covering "Stylista." And, yes, you are absolutely 100% correct on the pants-peer. Hilariously, gross!

I don't actually watch this show (even I have my limits) but I really enjoy the recaps.

I really think we need to turn this show into a drinking game, with all the shameless self promotion Diddy does, and all the shots of him on buildings staring at us. It might just make the episodes seems more exciting.

To answer your question, YES! Diddy has finally lost it! Yet again, Diddy's lack of responsibility about the group is astounding. Why in the world is he making Dawn and Aundrea feel like they did something wrong, and makking them do all the work to get the other girls back? If Diddy wants the group back together then he should be the one to call them, and be honest about the fact that he f#*ked up, and would like them to come back. If they say no then...well its done with, and time to move on.
NebbGirl, if this show came on on Friday then I could play, but I have to go to work in the morning and I couldnt because I would be inebriated at the end of the show and incapable of waking up in the morning.

Poor Donnie. He has absolutely no charisma, no charm, no swagga! He's just a shy guy and shy guys aren't usually up in the lime light! Maybe he should talk to Beyonce about creating a Sasha Donnie personality? It helped her out! It would create a stir and get people talking as well! Another solution would be if he had Timbaland produce a track! BAM! Instant #1! Worked for JT!

I know Poor Donnie, but I do think if he wasn't with Diddy he would've been more successful wait that's for everybody. If Danity Kane, Day 26 and Donnie weren't with Diddy they would be more successful.
Yes Diddy lhas ost it, he can't admit that he's the one that f***ed up that whole group. How can they fix anything when he broke them up, hello Diddy. I'm starting to think this whole show was just to promote Diddy, I see his ass more on tv than anyone actually signed to Bad Boy!

LOL bigjr6633!!!Laugh.Out.Loud.
Has anyone seen the You Tube rant this guy did hating on Diddy? It's called Puffy is Poison. The guy is basically running down a list of Bad Boy artists that no longer exist. It is hilarious. Enjoy!

thatswhatshesaid, I just saw the utube vid so funny, so sad, so true!!!
Diddy is ridiculous, on the show he'll say something like the artist had a responsibility no Diddy u have a responsibility no to f*** up your own artists career. MandaMo, please watch iRant:Puffy is Poison on utube.
Oh yeah, remember when Diddy use to say "Bitchassness" all the time. Diddy is showing major "Bitchassness" right now when it comes to his artists.

Yesssssss!!! I can't wait to watch the rant! I will do so as soon as I get home from work.
I think that Diddy's attitude is the direct result of only being surrounded by "yes men." When you only allow people to be around you if they agree with you all the time, then you completely lose touch. I mean, look at Orangebrey, she disagreed, and she got the axe.
