Diddy is Done with Danity Kane.....Well Just Aubrey!

on Wednesday, October 15, 2008

So if anyone saw the Live Special on Tuesday, then you all know that Danity Kane as we know it is done!. Diddy kicked out Aubrey O'Day and then let loose her partner is crime D. Woods.
In the Episode stunner, we saw Diddy, tell Danity Kane members, that what he sees here is not the vision that he had when he created the group and that Aubrey is was out!



With stunned silence following , he then turned to each of the members and asked them if they wanted to still be in this group?
"She's gone, would you like to go with her?"



They all tried to get Diddy to change is mind, but it wasn't happening. He then continued to shock us when he turned to D. Woods and said that she has been unhappy for a long time so was out of the group as well! By the look on D. Woods face, you could tell that she wasn't prepared for that & looked like she was going to cry and beg at any moment.
After he leaves the room , the girls all hug and cry to then say goodbye and D.Woods and Aubrey leave the building.... Dawn sits there in complete shock and says
"What are we going to do? I have nothing to go back to!"
After Diddy comes back in the room, he informs the girls that there will still be a Danity Kane....we we think that the rumors are true. There will be another season of Making the Band, with Diddy finding 2 replacements.....

To me this is the end of Danity Kane....this group is not Destiny's Child status yet and cannot rebound from the replacement of 2 members. Of those five girls, we all know who the star is.....



Deny it all you want, but this is the first name that everyone remembers! She doesn't have the best vocals , but she has personality and that keeps people talking. She is the Bobby Brown to New Edition, the Donnie Walburg to New Kids on the Block! Those are the people you remember!
Plus you would think that Diddy would appreciate that since he is not even close to the best rapper, but still keeps putting out albums and has PERSONALITY...that's why people keep talking about him, not because of his MC Skills!
Other than Faith , what other legitimate artist does Diddy have on his label? They have all left him......in fact Comedian Maronzio Vance (NBC, BET, Comedy Central) says it best......he explores the poison that is Diddy , just take a look at his funny rant below....it is on point!


“Everybody that Puffy comes into contact with are either dead, in jail or we don’t know where the f**k they at - or their careers have fallen out.”





He needs this show & MTV, to not only feed his ego, but get new artist. The question that we ask, is if MTV didn't have this show and his other one called "I Want to Work for Diddy"...we he even be relevant? This is man who has kept his big billboard up in Times Square from when he ran a marathon 4 years ago




He is respected in the hip hop game for past deeds with Notorious B.IG and others, much like Russell Simmons, the only difference is that Russell knew when to hang it up and do better and bigger things. Diddy seams to be stuck back in his heyday of the early 90's..




But your hits have been few and far between....he had to find another way to feed the ego.
So after several seasons of this show, we all know Diddy's M.O and we just like the members of Danity Kane should really know there boss by now. How many times have you set in a board meeting and the boss asked you to "express your feelings" and the next thing that you know, that "person" who said something was cleaning out there desk!




At the end of the day, that is your boss, he is paying you , controlling the money, and has final say , and you can't talk to him anyway you want, EVEN if he is wrong.
Being in the entertainment industry and also dealing with Diddy comes with a cost, especially if you are in a group. Your image and everything about you is under scrutiny, you have to go in the direction that the record label wants you to go in, that includes music and looks...at least until you become an established artist....Remember Beyonce' and Pink...both having to go behind there managments back to get there solo albums made...Beyonce said she had to hide it from her Managament ( her father) becuase it was a different sound than they wanted to go with, and her album went multi platinum , but the managment was upset at first!

They were not complaining on there all expense paid trip to Cabo or popping bottles, Stop putting Diddy as the Daddy. He is not there to show them how to survive in show business. Did they think this day would never come? This is Diddyland , and he is king there, so you have to fall in line or get cut...as with Aubrey and D.Woods.


So what do we think is in store for the girls of Danity Kane?


Shannon, the married sweetheart, will just ride it out to till the wheels fall off and Diddy shuts down the DK brand
Aundrea, will probably leave the group or also get dropped by Diddy, as he alluded to on the episode as her being the problem child as well...
Dawn, the golden girl, who can do no wrong, will most likely get signed to a solo deal by Diddy as she is the vocals behind the group.

D.Woods, the other half of Ebony & Ivory, will probably ride out her last 5 minutes of fame, but fade into nothingness

And last but not least

Aubrey, the "Problem Child" as coined by Diddy, has the best chance of seeing her star rise, with a clothing line already out , her successful run on Broadway's "Hairspray" and her knack for saying and doing outrageous things, she has the opportunity to surpass the DK Brand. Lets just hope that she goes up instead of the way of Bobby Brown!

It's very clear, that the little bit of fame that Aubrey has gotten, has changed her. she does look different that she did when she first started


But I think she was always like this, Diddy just didn't see it, because he doesn't spend time with his acts (by his own admission), even though it looks like on the show he spends all this time with them. I think she found her opportunity to be her "True Self" and took it...I think that the real problem is that she hasn't fallen in line as Diddy wanted, she doesn't conduct herself as he wants therefore, she had to go. And at the end of the day, who ever controls the purse strings, controls you. Even at the live taping, he had nothing but bad things to say to her, telling her to grow up and humble herself on national television, inciting Boos' from the audience........
I don't think this is the last we will see of her and I think that she will end up on top..........

Also ...someone sent me the Team Aubrey & I Heart Aubrey T-Shirts, go by and check it out, ...they also have team Diddy as well as others !






DO YOU THINK THAT DAY 26 WILL BREAK UP AS WELL?

WILL THEY EVEN MAKE A SECOND ALBUM?

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON..DIDDY OR AUBREY?


Is Diddy Done with Danity Kane ?

on Wednesday, October 8, 2008

So if anyone saw the recent episode of MTV's Making the Band 4, we all heard Diddy sit the girls of Danity Kane down and ask "What is the problem"? and what followed was a tension filled back and forth between "problem child" Aubrey O'Day and Diddy, ending with him saying that she was out of the group!



So the question now is....are they still a group? Does Diddy actually cut a DK member? These burning questions are revealed in a live "Making the Band 4" Special on Tuesday, October 14th at 9pm ET/PT. Hosted by MTV News correspondent Sway from the Times Square studio, Diddy will give viewers the low down on what really happened when he confronts his platinum recording artists about dissension in the group. Viewers will have face time with Danity Kane when they give their version of the drama that unfolds; and talk about the rumors that have been floating around for weeks questioning the actual state of the group.
Viewers were left stunned after the cliffhanger in the"Making The Band 4" season finale. They watched Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang after their successful promotional tour. and then go on a much needed vacation to Cabo San Lucas.


But it all ended when Diddy had all the groups come up to the Bad Boy Offices to talk with them about how proud he was..then dismiss Day 26 and Donnie to have a "Candid" conversation with the members of Danity Kane .
The back and forth tension between Diddy and O'Day isn't anything new, Diddy has accused O'day of doing her own thing, and exhibiting behavior during the " off season" that is detrimental to the group . Know as the "Sex pot" of the group she can always be seen as "Vamping it up" and saying "colorful things", and her new photo spread in complex magazine is not exception!




With her mouth open and big hair, she is looking more like a blow up doll or porn star than a teen pop star...but with the way that young hollywood is acting right now, she is probably the norm!



She has also been linked to several people, most recently Donnie Walburg from New Kids of the Block

When asked about the rumor she asked...“Who started that rumor?” , “He is a gorgeous guy and he is a very dear friend of mine.” The Boston Herald reported the 24-year-old and Wahlberg, 39, “hooked up” in June.
In addition to singing pursuits, O'Day performed as Amber Von Tussle in the Broadway musical Hairspray, has made a cameo appearance in Estelle's new music video for Pretty Please and has recently started her own clothing line called Heart on My Sleeve,modeled by America's Next Top Model Winners Caridee English and Jaslene Gonzalez, which features t-shirts and accessories only available online


The other members of the group seem to be on there own path, and not necessarily stardom driven. Aundrea, who was once very close to Aubrey , to be later replaced by D. Woods, seems to be a homebody, preferring to stay in and be with family then out and about on the town. The same goes with Shannon, who is the only one that is married, and surprisingly so, after all of this! She has a family and prefers to stay grounded with them.
Dawn, in love with Day 26 member Q, prefers to be with him and only him, to the point of nausea . So that leaves O' Day and D. Woods , who have nic-named themselves Ebony and Ivory. This "Clique-ish" behavior was pointed out by Diddy on the season finale of Making the Band as well!

With All Due Respect to the other girls in Danity Kane, it’s easy to see why Diddy built his group around Aubrey O’Day. Simply put, Aubrey is that star that pulls them in....most people remember her name and not the others in the band. With her other pursuits, she is the least likely to fall into the post-reality-show abyss.

Combs stated on the Finale episode of Making the Band that he did have Dawn Richard on three demos for his new album. And later on declared that Aubrey O'Day was no longer be a member of Danity Kane . Although an official announcement has not been made from Bad Boy. Rumors also say that there will be another Making the Band to find a replacement for Aubrey O'Day.
But Diddy is nothing if not smart and also know for being overly dramatic..(remember the nurse body slamming him for eating a doughnut?), so if something is a cash cow like O'Day.....I don't think she's going anywhere....Danity Kane wouldn't be Danity Kane without O'Day....it's like if Beyonce' left Destiny's Child!...who the hell would watch them?

DO YOU THINK O'DAY WAS KICK OUT OF THE GROUP?
WOULD YOU STILL BUY THE ALBUM WITH A NEW MEMBER?
