Making The Band 3 Recap - Homecoming

The first episode of the season started with the ending of last season. Diddy picks the girls who will make the band. In between each girl being named, the show cuts to an interview where they talk about their reaction. Most wanted to hug Diddy and were happy just to be chosen.

The show then takes us to the hometowns of each girl. We find out a little extra background info: Aubrey lives in Palm Springs, California and has a boyfriend!! Andrea lives at home with her parents in Upland, California. Shannon is married (!!!) and lives in Costa Mesa, California. (That's alot of California girls) Dawn has relocated to Baltimore after Hurricane Kartrina and her family is threw her a Mardi Gras party when she got home. Wanita (aka D. Woods) lives in Atlanta with her family where she has been recording and dancing.

Now I want to know how quickly Aubrey's boyfriend and Shannon's husband get that feeling they aren't wanted anymore....

The girls all came together again in Orlando and were told that they are going straight to New Orleans to be on a Mardi Gras parade boat. All the girls were excited, although Dawn was apprehensive since she hasn't seen her hometown since the Hurricane.

The girls arrive, drank it up (maybe a little too much, Aubrey) and toured Dawn's hometown. The show got very serious when they went to see Dawn's mom's dance studio and home. But it showed a bond was already building and the girls were all there to keep Dawn strong.

Then they went off to the parade and threw some beeds, yelled at boys to show some goods, and dressed in old time black and white prison uniforms (I don't know why the prison uniforms??).

The episode was cute and all but I want to get to the good stuff -DRAMA - dancing, singing, and more Diddy! Too bad there won't be any cuts anymore - because eliminations are the best part of each episode - but I am sure the girls will manage to bring their own drama...

Oh, and more on Danity Kane (the name of the group)

From Stars are Blind

[Diddy] has named the girl power group DANITY KANE, based on a fictional anime character drawn up by singer DAWN.

She tells MTV News, "“We were in the studio and I actually draw anime, and Diddy had been throwing some names at us - Courage,Trust - but we want our name to mean something.

“Diddy looked at the superhero that was the anime that I drew and he was like, "‘What'’s the name of that character?"’ "I was like, "‘Danity Kane,"’ and he was, like, "‘Yo, that'’s dope, you guys can be five superheroes; five girls representing courage, representing all those things in one"”."

And the girls have a Myspace Page which says their first single should debut TODAY. And of course there is an unofficial Myspace Page, too.

Plus they already have a Fan Site (which already doesn't work) and a Wikipedia Page.

Also, a person who commented on my last Danity Kane post has this website dedicated to Making the Band 3.
