It's a shame that Diddy can't make a band after three seasons of his hit show MTV's "Making the Band" and Beyonce can seemingly make one in a matter of days.
The five ladies selected to be in the band have toiled for the Did-ster for a while now and even I am tired of it. They've finally decided on a name, Danity Kane. Dawn, Wanita, Aubrey, Shannon and Aundrea are now known as Danity Kane. Their new song titled "Show Stoppers", although catchy is not the best showcase of their talent. These girls can sing. I want to know one thing, if it were so important for the ladies selected in this group to be able to sing and dance and perform and what not... then why is their first song not a song that showcases their talent? Listen to "Show Stoppers" here:

Are y'all sure Diddy isn't into kink, 'cause he loves shitting on peeps.
And speaking of what is crap and what isn't... Have you heard Ciara's new joint, "Get Up"? Take a listen... should we rush it or flush it?

Lastly, Jermaine Dupri promises... no he guarantees that Janet and Mariah will perform a duet on Janet's upcoming release 20 Years Old. Brilliance or more cannibalism.... we'll just have to wait and see.

Flush that shit by Ciara it's horrible.
I bump that DANITY KANE every morning on my drive to work. Lol. Silly me. But the song it hot. The thing I like most is that you can hear who is singing what part. But, I look oh, so clean banging that in my system.
CIARA needs a new formula. She has denounced being the Princess of "crunk-n-B" so she shouldn't be recycling "1,2, Step" in the form of "Get Up."
I like 'Show Stoppers' but WTF is up with that name? Danity Kane sounds like some old devil-worshipping holiday or something. The song is hot though, but I feel you on the question about whats the big deal about having to have talent if you werent gonna showcase it. I think Diddy did that more for his own image than anything. He wants to appear as if he is the black Clive Davis and you gotta have talent like no other in order to be on his label. He can hang that up though cause Cassie fucked that up for everybody LOL.
MC and Janet on the same song....LOL NELLY got on a track with her and made her sound like a back-up singer. What you really want me to say about that? LOL
Yo, that Danity Kane aint that bad, its I see females ridin too with the top down
Lol DIG.
Don't hurt them so early in the day. Lol.
:FreshAzME
That's how they do it down here in Florida. Lol. I made my father buy me a drop top. As a NYer, I was too used to SUVs. But the weather is way too nice down here.
That Ciara joint is a banger. It is no worst than "Cherish - Do It To It." Ya'll kill me hatin on a style. Of course artist stick to a formula, its their style and it works. You think 50 not gonna diss somebody b4 his next album come out. But when he does that, ya'll quick to say GGGGG-Unit.
I dont think there was anything "wrong" with Ciara's formula, but for somebody trying to get out of that box she was in, it doesnt make sense for her to go right back to it. I like Ciara, just everything she does sounds the same. It gets old after while.
Do the damn thing Rocky, I can see a chick definitely riding to this one. I'm feeling the beat. If they do a remix with a rapper, then a guy like me may bump this in the ride lol. It's definitely one of those "pull up to the valet at the club" songs, at least that's how we do it in Cali. I see they added some of my H-Town screw at the end.
Flush the Ciara song, but make sure you keep the plunger handy in case it doesn't want to go down so easily lol.
AllStar, you know what? When I was listening to it, I almost expected there to be a rap in there somewhere after the bridge.... Im glad they didnt do it though.... I dont know... what yall think? Would a hot 16 have made the song better, or would it have ruined the flow? Or would that depend on who was spittin?
DIG
What you got against Janet..no really? I am not a fan but I read how peeps like you bash her in one sentence but then try to big her up in the next. Whassup wit dat? Try to come back with something other than comparing her vocal ability (or lack there of) to others who have better voices. Because in the 80's and 90's Janet had the same voice and you were one of many suckin on that right nipple back then...so come wit.
I love that danity kane song! i just wish they had a different name for their group. Ciara needs to come out with a new formula cause all her shit is getting old.
Aight first things first...someone needs to kick diddy's ass!!!!! WTF is he thinkin, he puts togethers this incredibly talented group that everyone thought was gonna put bad boy back on the map, then he gives them a fucked up name and the worst first single. Don't get me wrong, "showstoppers" coulda been a smash coming from someone like Ciara or Nivea, but it doesnt sound right coming from these ladies, and it doesnt show that they have talent. its corny, and completely wrong for the group. Not to mention fans of the group and show have already gotten used to hearing stuff like "touching my body", "she has everything", and "ohh la la"(sorry cheri) from these ladies, and this song is not anything like those.
now say watchu will about Ciara, but i think her new song is hott. the onli ppl who wouldnt like it are ppl who didnt like her to begin with...she definately knows what works for her, and this song is a prime example. Shes sounds good in it, showing the lil bit of vocal talent she does have...and if a video follows, it should be hott.
i been reading about the Mariah janet collabo for a minute, and i dunno what JD is thinkin, but if he does it right, this could be hott. Alot ppl think it wont work due to the nature of each artist...since Mariah is know for the voice, and Janet is known for the moves...but i think with JD behind the wheel on dis one...we could either be looking at a huge hit....or a huge flop. he better know what hes doin.
:rick_the_rula
Noone was hating on CIARA. To use your example... you don't hear 50 saying he doesn't want to be known for what he was made famous for- dissing people. That's what he does. CIARA wants to be more "pop." Well, then why revert to the same old thing you did on the "Goodies" album? That shit sounds like "1,2,Step."
:ALLSTAR
Yeah? They get down like that in Cali... gotta visit. Lol. I don't know, I am kinda with DIG on the rapper thing. I can't even imagine who would fit well on the DANITY KANE track... It would have to be someone very slick... maybe BUN B or SNOOP. Naw.
:DUG
What are you talking about? Noone is outright knowcking JANET. But, she does sound like the featured artist on her song with NELLY. Like the song though. But, I don't think it would be a good idea for her to do a track with MARIAH... especially since she already sampled MARIAH on her new song with NELLY.
Ya'll know I meant "KNOCKING"
I like showstopper this band better do good Diddy cant afford another WOMP & these girls can sing i like the new theme song on the new season....

Ok, I see some people dont read.
If you actually READ anything I've said today or anything Ive said over the past couple of days, you would already know the answers to those questions. But since you missed the bus:
1. NEVER have I bashed Janet. I have ALWAYS stated that I liked her and was just disappointed in the direction she's been going with recent efforts. Not only that, we family up in here so most of the negative shit is just said to give the "Stannets" a hard time. But when its real, it hurts even worse so if you gonna be all sensitive and shit, this might be your cue to exit stage left.
2. She's a singer. Aint she suppose to be able to sing? Youre a fuckin idiot for even making that statement.
3. You dont know your Janet history so maybe you should hit Record Archive instead of jumpin up and down on my last got damn nerve. Go back thru the anthology and tell me she sounds the same... she dont. Cause now she's scared to sing.
Lastly, Im a female (and a fly one at that) who aint on that bullshit so the last nipple in my mouth was my mama's. Dont play yaself.
Oh wait.... guess its too late for that. Oh well. Next time.
Diddy?
Still tryin to ride the south. For shame Diddy.
Ciara?
The song sounds JUST LIKE a song jazze pha would produce. Typical.
Mariah and Janet?
This might be the end of JD. I don't think a gremlin his size would be able to survive tryin to get in between a cat fight with these two.
Danity Kane's single is hot. Miss Ciara aka Miss Goodies.....a new formula is in order along with some vocal lessons or instructions on how to sing and dance at the same time....Or maybe does Jazze Pha need the new formula?
To those that agree and say the single is a'ight...Will a few 100 spins to where it becomes every 3rd song played on SHOT97 and Power105 make the song grow on us?
Seems to me that many people agree about lil cece needing to sit down.
AAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa!
Anyone heard that new Chili- gameproof?
What about kelis-i like u
And, monica- dozen roses?
hot songs.
Flush this shit. SUCKS. She is officially pop. STOP IT LITTLE GIRL PLEASE.Somebody plase bring R&B BACK OMG. WHERE IS THE VOICE Shanice, now that's music. What the hell is she talkin' about, I'm listening to the bullshit like what the hell? No Ciarac I HATE, DON'T BRING THIS SHIT TO RADIO U WILL FLOP. I wish she would show her vocals, cuz she can't sing.
I agree, Show Stoppers isn't the best song that show cases their talent (b/c I think they are really talented girls) but it is just that...catchy and I think that Diddy and the powers that be went for what's hot right now (Snap music via ATL) and I bet there will be a remix with Yung Joc to go with it. I like it but I think there are better song to come. Plus I think they new that while the show is on they really couldn't drop any real good heat..I think when the show is over and the CD drops (in August) they will put out a really good sing to boost CD sales. But Diddy knows that people want to hear something and rather people grabbing bits and pieces and putting it on the i-net he put it out in good quality. That is what happened to Cheri Dennis, there were so many poor quality versions of I luv U out there because people heard it on MTB3 and started putting it out there. As a side note, Cheri was in my city yesterday and I heard a few of her songs that are on her upcoming album and they were very good, I luv U is clearly not her best vocal performance, her news song were very good....
Damn,
I see Diddy wants to try and further this Snap Music shit with these chics, that sound like a new version of the Spice Girls. Now I see how Hip-Hop is really ending... at the hands of Mr. Combs. One must wonder: If Biggie was still alive, would he be trying to get him to do tracks with Snap beats, for the sake of selling out true Hip-Hop to white people?
But fuck it, I know that they won't be out long, because Puffy can't resist the temptation of cheating these tramps out of their royalties. Just like Beyonce can't resist overshadowing ALL of her other group members.
As for Ciara, I hope that she tries to switch her style up, because if that song was any indication, she might as well call this album a remix of her first one.
Lastly, I guess JD trying to make all that cake, by putting Janet and Mariah together for duets. But I foresee problems with this unison. Think about it: two superstars with major egos together, with the media comparing and instigating beef between them. This will be like Jay-Z and R. Kelly all over again. I can see the tabloids now...
What is that Ciara shit...3-4 Step?...
The band shit is aight, good for the clubs, and maybe that's what Diddy wanted-to at least do better in the stores then Da Band did. But I see he's using TOP producers to help these chicks, only time will tell.
Dig...
1. You said:
"MC and Janet on the same song....LOL NELLY got on a track with her and made her sound like a back-up singer. What you really want me to say about that? LOL"
This is BASH! You said she sound like a back up singer! This is a BASH. Do you not agree?
2. Janet is a singer. And to imply that she CANT sing now you sound like the fuckin idiot.
3. Like I said earlier (CLEARLY you dont read!) I am not a fan..so you are right I dont know Janet history. And to read this blog space and give comments dont mean you have to read fuckin Record Archives! I listen to music and thats more than enough.
Let me close by saying we both TWO FLY BITCHES up on here today!
The reference to Janet's nipple was a figurative one. So relax and stop actin like a "got damn fool" up on here today.
This is not an argument..merely a blog!
I like this Show Stopper song. Haven't hooked on to the name yet though....
Get ur money right and go cop that Lloyd Banks album "Rotten apple" July 18.
GGGGGGGGGGG_UNIT.
I like those MTB girlz!! But not "DANITY KANE" AND CIARA, new single "GET UP" NOOOO!!!! I forgot, what i was about to say since "Rocky AKA Lovely", said how nice it is in FLORIDA!!! It's like zero degrees in this office. I'm so Jealous of her right now!!!!! Daaamnit!!! Now i would love to see the Janet and Mariah Duet that's coming off a little odd to me. But who knows it might turn out to be a hot one.
diddy is diddy. but this making the band thing aint hot at all. he bagged two different female groups.. and now he got the third. they can sing they can dance he diddy managed to make dream 2. all these girls are going to get is free air time and a cheese platter back stage. harsh but true. he bagged "The Band" and they at least went gold. diddy has become impatient.
Rocky aka Lovely :
What mama...I saw your myspace page and I was feeling it...No more beefing, I definetly wanna be your friend.....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
who the hell are these clowns promoting G-unit on these damn blogs. I hope u on the payroll champ.
DAMN..i tried to push the stop button that Ciara song and the shit WOULD NOT STOP! it just kept playing..WTF
I like the swong..heard it a while back but damn
What is that Ciara shit...3-4 Step?
__________________________________
That was a good one.
Ciara shit is weak, I wonder, is she scared to do something different? She need to come up out her comfort zone. Cham, pissed me off on the track to, I expected better. All of you, who said that shit sound like 1,2 step are on point. Whats wrong with these girls. Some of these new songs seem like remixes.
Show stopper is alright, its always good to see new people in the game.
DUG:
1. Its the truth. I wasnt the only person to make that comment. I guess Im just your favorite huh? LOL
2. Janet can sing? Even her STANS were on here yesterday sayin she aint have the best voice like "she cant sing but so what?" LOL.... but you claim to not even be a fan and you took it there on the "Janet can sing" tip? You know you just lost this debate right? Early. LOL.
3. Like I said YOU DONT READ. I didnt say go read the record archives, I said GO TO Record Archive - as in the music store that carries all the old shit.... and seriously.... (this is important so you might wanna start READING now) if you dont know Janet's history, how the hell are you even making comments about what she's "always done" ??? If you dont do your homework, you will come out looking like a fool every time. Thats like not voting and talkin shit bout the government.
Its not even worth me debating with you cause you dont even know what youre talkin about, LOL. But dont get it twisted, its not about Janet because if it wasnt her under the microscope, it would be somebody else. This is a BLOG and thats what we do "ROUN' HERRE" so as I would tell anybody else, if you dont like it, theres always Allhiphop... Oh and by the way, I act a damn fool EVERY day.
Lastly, let me correct you. YOU are the only FLY BITCH up in here today cause I dont classify myself as a bitch for NOBODY. And sorry, still bored with the nipple thing, LOL. You need to work on your metaphors.
:MDJ
It's Hurrican season, but it's still sunny most of the day. I actually love the cold weather... Winter baby...lol
: Black Friday
What's up pa? You up to something. I can smell it. Lol. What beef? Just merely stating opinions. It's cool.
:Ah ha
I like Chili's new song too. Dunno about Kelis.
Danity Kane? What the fuck does that mean? Anybody know? Diddy should have had a public poll on this one. The song is ok..not great..but once a video comes out..i'm sure it will grow on me.
Now Ciara...eh, not feelin' it.
:ZLERTIGHT
What's up boo! Lol.
:BKNY
The name came from a anime cartoon that Dawn drew one day in the studio. Go to youtube.com and type in "Danity." It'll show you a video of them on TRL explaining.
Rocky: I know that's right!!!
BKNY,
I'm like you. I feel bad hating. But i can't get past the DANITY! I went as far as to looking it up in the DICTIONARY! WTF!!!
Where are ya ll getting the new, chilli song from?
We aren't going to get a drop of rain here in Southern Cali until about November. It's dry as hell, and the temperatures have been 100+. At least it isn't humid like in Florida, that stuff is no joke.
Rocky, I'm not feeling the Chili song at all, I know she can do better. I just don't know why she signed to Akon's label. I'm liking Monica's song "A Dozen Roses".
What do ya'll think about that new group Cherish? I think they all look too much alike. I know they are sisters, but they need to change up their look some, so you can tell who's who. That's just my opinion.
Rocky aka Lovely:
I'll hit u up tonite on myspace...
:Tamia
Try concreteloop.com. They have it in the new music review section.
:Allstar
That song grew on me. I'm not in love with it though. I do love that Monica "Dozen Roses" joint. Can't wait until she drops.
As far as the weather... this humidity isn't a joke. It just blew my hair out, and already I got roots. WTF? Lol.
:Black Friday
Iight. TTYL
(Damn, work is a bore today.)
Thnx Rocky..will do.
LOL MDJ..when i see Danity..i think Vanity or Danish (no I'm not hungry..lol)..and then Kane..I think of Big Daddy Kane..weird. Love these girls tho.
As far as the weather... this humidity isn't a joke. It just blew my hair out, and already I got roots. WTF? Lol.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OK! Shit!
I just came from a play at my son's school and felt like somebody dragged me head first thru a carwash LOL.
ALLSTAR:
When it comes to the group "Cherish" i don't know why... but Brooke Valentine comes to mind. They all look like little Brooke's. Maybe, it's the weave that i'm lovin and want... But they sing well as a group. I know, i'm not going to buy the CD. But i would love to hear them sing a ballad together. And then, you said they are sisters.... That's alright!
Hi MDJ... we playin nice today? LOL
When it comes to the group "Cherish" i don't know why... but Brooke Valentine comes to mind. They all look like little Brooke's....
No bullshit...I thought it was Brooke's lil sisters...like the Braxtons.
I'm not even mad at the song and video...but once the snappin stops can they sing?
Dig talkin like a real black woman! How are all my beautiful black women doin? Fuck it. BLACK WOMEN ARE THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shout out to all the sistaz!

Yall have to remember that. Janet worked wit micheal,luther,elton, and others so this should be nothin.i think jd will have mimi sing soft.cuz janet and her kinda sound alike when the sing soft.and janet dont always sings soft.
