OMG Shaniqua you are f'ing awesome. You made my day!

I had "Y'all gots to flow" on my mind after I heard Diddy say that and to see it as your title was great!!

My highlights (which are too many to mention really) are the finger dancing my Aubrey - she looks very odd in that scene and the Scott Storch comments. He looks like a typical 7th grade fricking dork punk that is trying to look way to cool & 'down' and gets his a$$ kicked and moves away.

scott storch looks like he should be a character in Grand Theft Auto.

How does Scott Storch not get beaten up while walking down the street in Miami? He is ridiculous, and his jeweler must have been playing a joke on him with his even more ridiculous bling. I feel like I need to bathe after each appearance he makes on the show.

As for Aubrey, I felt genuinely bad for her when parts were taken away from her, but she seems to have an incredibly inflated self image. This is the second episode where she has referred to herself as "pretty Aubrey" while talking about how she can't sing. She's right... she IS pretty, but for wanting people to take her more seriously for attributes other than her looks, she sure does try unabashedly hard to look sexy at all times. Of course people are going to think of you as the pretty one when you look perfect even with a fever and a snotty nose... fake eyelashes, nails, tan and all. She admitted that she knew during the competition that she was one of the weaker singers and she needed to rely on her performing skills instead, so how can she be surprised when she goes into a studio and is stripped of parts because she is the weakest voice? Plus, I don't know a single girl who would sulk at being called "the pretty one".

Scott Storch looks like Spanky from the Little Rascals after a series of comical twists and turns that resulted in him having to pretend to be a blinged out hip-hop music producer. Obviously he is standing on Alfalfa's sholders.

The recap is better than the show, very funny Shaniqua!

Blue cheese Flash- flash Italian flaaashh
too funny

I'm sorry I have to correct you on this B-Side... Diddy told the girls that their boyfriends are a "wrap" not a "rat" on that episode. It's slang. He was saying that their relationships are over. That's all.

I feel like I can't live as a true artist, and I can't express myself the way I want to.

I feel you Aubrey. That's what I think everyday as I'm sitting in my tiny little cube, typing away.

Didn't Scott Scorch work with Christina Aguilera [thought I saw him on her E! life story] Still he dresses like an idiot and is sort of Paul Wall-esque.

I'm pretty sure that Aubrey wasn't bawling about "being sent home." I don't think she is afraid that she will be sent home. In the parking lot, I believe she was saying that she COULD go home and do other things like "pretty, pretty Aubrey." She is the most recognizable member of the group, and I don't think that her singing is THAT bad. I hope she grows a thicker skin and sticks it out.

Nice recap, B-Side.

That finger dancing totally killed me. And "pretty pretty Aubrey" just reminded me of that psycho girl on the apprentice a few seasons back who was crying because she was so beautiful she felt she had to cut her face to make friends.

Mouse needs to give up on her boyfriend. Whoever was waiting for him inside of red lobster wasn't worth him being such a jerk.

"Diddy (who was bizarrely dressed as Where's Waldo, but that's a whole other issue entirely)."

Still cleaning up the water I spit out onto my computer screen. Hilarious.

B-Side, you are sooo right. Those colorful flashes are so annoying and unneccesary. I think they are used to show change of emotion or something, but it's really stupid.

Also, is Aundrea blind or something? Her boyfriend obviously a) is cheating on her or b)isn't interested in her anymore. Poor girl.

the resemblance between brian cox and gervis from survivor season 1 is uncanny.

oh, and aubrey totally looks like LC in that Scott Storch picture...i guess all MTV starlets begin to look alike after a while

Sigh. I, who is Aubrey's number one fan, must admit that the constant references to her beauty are getting wearing. But am I the only one who doesn't think she sounded any worse than anyone else on that particular song? or bad enough to be cut off the song? But hey, whatev. And am I also the only one who is noticing Aundrea the rat is getting a lil chunky? Funny how PDiddy never says anything to her about it, while constantly harping on everyone else (i.e. D'Woods who probably has the best body) I think they have a special lovers relationship, which she expresses to the public by her constant wearing of I Heart Sean paraphernalia.

Dare I ask it: is Diddy the long-lost, black Golden Girl? I can almost see him cozying up to Dorothy Zbornak and Blanche Devereaux, maybe receiving a pointed barb from Sophia.
---------------------

Thanks a lot, B-side. I almost choked to death after reading this line. I had just taken a swig of water and, not wanting to do a spit-take on my monitor, I tried swallowing it and laughing uncontrollably at the same time - not a good combo. I'm a sucker for a good Golden Girls reference. I've never even seen MTB but the recaps are hilarious. Anything that makes fun of "yeah-uh-yeah" P-doofus is welcome.

I just learned that Scott Storch was part of The Roots on their first album back. wtf? He sucks. I don't watch this show and only read the recaps but noticed they were filming some sort of Making the Band video in the park outside my building. My husband and I walked by the gates but couldn't bear to subject ourselves to that much Diddy.

Everytime I see Scott Storch (like in his fantastic appearances on Hogan Knows Best), he makes me shudder. He looks like a sexual predator.

Aubrey reminds me of Sarah W. from the Charlie O'Donnell Bachelorette. You know, the one who was always crying, "people are so mean to me because I'm pretty!" Huh, and here I thought people were mean to you because you keep *saying* that you're pretty.

What happened to Aubrey from Season 1? She had a great voice, really strong. Why does she suck so bad now? And if she calls herself pretty one more time, I'm gonna hurl. If you don't want to be pretty, take a pound or two of the makeup off.

I guess that I am in the minority here because Aubrey is my favorite member of the band. She is the hottest and the best dancer. She also has the weakest voice, but I won't go so far as to say that she CAN"T SING. I, for one, thought that she didn't sound ANY different from the other girls on the track she was cut from.

I feel badly for her. I think that anyone in her position would feel isolated, inferior even. I also don't think that her references to "pretty Aubrey" come from a vain place. I think she is honestly upset that there is a perception that she has no talent and only made the band because of the way she looks.

Personally, I think that Aubrey made the band because she has star quality. On the last season, Diddy and his minions all agreed that she was going to be a star no matter what. I agree with Aubrey that she could quit the band and "do other things." I'm sure that with the exposure she's received from the show so far and her dancing and singing talents, she could be quite successful. Remember that this is an America that pays for Adam Sandler movies and Paris Hilton cds.

The thing about this huge fan base/popularity that is constantly spoken about is that it only lasts so long. People will soon get bored of DK and start desiring quality music. Popularity soon weans- as it clearly is beginning to with some posters here in regards to Aubrey. “Likeable” only sells records for so long- people then move onto illegal downloading, when people realise certain groups are worth listening to- but definately not worth buying.

Keeping poor singers like Aubrey and Shannon for the sake of popularity/ large fan base/looks, will eventually push Danity Kane into being another cheesy music group with no substance. This is all good for your average cheesy pop group- BUT REMEMBER DIDDY HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN RANTING ABOUT MAKING A REPUTABLE/TALENTED GROUP. This is something that Danity Kane does not look set to be.

Believe me abscense of Aubrey’s talent will not be missed. Her popularity/ personality can be filled by D. Woods and Aundrea. I agree with the poster that stated that it is not like she has millions of fans- many are now favouring Aundrea or the other members now they have realised her talent is not that great. This IT Factor that she supposedly has, is clearly disentergrating or never truly existed. This cannot simply be because of her singing difficulties as anyone with the true ‘It Factor’ could work through this. TRUE IT FACTOR GOES HAND IN HAND WITH TRUE TALENT- something that each recurring episode is verifying (or in the case of some people who have noticed her poor vocals from the beginning, from ‘day one’) that she lacks to a certain extent- that is at least on the vocals. As Doc would say “she’s been exposed”. (she’s been exposed from day 1 to me- but clearly not to many posters who are only recently noticing her poor vocal skills)

(This does not mean I think she should leave- but that she is not as important talent wise and group wise as posters like UpsetAlot make her out to be.)

I have to give Aubrey her props though for at least acknowledging from Season 1 that her vocals were not up to par- unfortunately- some people here cannot admit that too.

Danity Kane is the worst name for a band....ever. Ugh.

Secondly, I am starting to feel bad for Aubrey. It is just me, or does it seem like she gets skinner, her voice gets raspier, hair gets more and more disheveled and the bags under her eyes get darker with each episode. I think this whole thing is taking it's toll on her. She doesn't really seem happy or energetic anymore.

And Andrea's bf dumping her like that. Ouch. But you gotta give the guy props for being so blunt.

I can't believe Brian Cox said that to Aubrey, Ike told Tina to "Put some stank on it" right before he beat and raped her in the booth.

IT WAS DAWN WHO SPOKE TO AUBREY WHEN SHE WENT OUTSIDE.
