REVIEW: Danity Kane 'DK3' Snippets & Review

Danity Kane DK3 Album Snippets

Finally after the drama which the world saw after the DK4 reunion back in 2013 which was officially confirmed at the 2013 MTV VMA's, a lot has happened to girl group Danity Kane.

They  have been in the studio recording music for their anticipated 3rd studio LP.  They went on a tour across the United States.  During the tour is when things began to take a torn for the worst.  First Aundrea Fimbres announced she was not going to continue on with Danity Kane because she wanted to start a family.  Next Danity Kane released a comeback single "Lemonade" featuring Tyga, which had great initial buzz but fizzled off after a video and promo didn't help push the potential Urban summer hit.  Following the tour in early August an altercation broke out in a studio/meeting session when Dawn Richard allegedly punched Aubrey O'Day unprovoked in the back of her head.  Then once again Danity Kane AKA DK3, officially broke up.

Fans were left in awe at the girls for continuously promoting sisterhood, women respect, ladies coming together,  and overall love for eachother only to let an argument turn physical and ruin the business the three ladies worked so hard to create once again.

Out of nowhere Aubrey and Shannon Bex released a video on Instagram confirmed since the fans never gave up they didn't either and that an album would be released for the fans as a gift.  Which is a bit odd, because its a gift in which fans will have to pay for.  Oxymoron.

Well, here is my review of the tracks from the snippets

Danity Kane Steals the Show...Together or Not!

Tonight's episode of Making The Band: The Final Chapter featured Day 26, Donnie, Diddy, and no one other than Danity Kane. Although Danity Kane only consisted of Aubrey, D. Woods, Dawn, and Shannon on the show, they still managed to steal the show even without Aundrea.

During the show Day 26 performed 3 time,s to promote their sophomore album which debuted at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. As well as Donnie Klang who performed a song off his album entitled "Pick It Up." It was a tad bit funny to hear Aubrey discredit Dawn, and speak over her after Dawn stated that everyone supported Aubrey's stint on Broadway. Aubrey backfired and said it was only D. Woods who supported her! Ouch!

Shannon said she spoke to Aundrea and her reasons for not coming were basically that she was the emotional one of the group, and was taking time to be with her family. Pretty much that she didn't want or need to deal with the expect Diddy BS, is what I'm thinking! I truly hope Aundrea finds a home at a great label who will support her solo career, because I could seriously see her being an easy well liked solo artist.

What the future holds...

As for Diddy's sacred little Dawn, she is supposed to be joining Diddy as one of his female band mates on his Last Train To Paris album/phase he's going through currently. Pretty much meaning he will give Dawn extra air time for exposure on his Making His Band show-pretty slick huh, ugh I think not. This pretty much is to boost Dawn's appeal for her Bad Boy solo debut album, which Diddy himself said was coming soon. I do not see this being a big album, and I still cannot dig Dawn's voice for an entire album, so she definitely better bring it, especially to make Pop fans enjoy her music. Dawn was rocking the latest, "I'm trying to be a major solo artist hairdo" so I'm gonna lose the weave and have a short-do, infamously made by Rihanna. Keri Hilson, has done the same to her hair!

D. Woods, seemed to appear on the show basically for self promotion reasons. Especially since after not showing up on the last finale which she was asked to appear on. Any who she is said to have heard from various labels who are interested in singing her, as well as working on her solo debut album. She made it seem as if she was already in pretty good hands, so the future will only tell how that ends up going for her. Previous rumors stated she was involved with another girl group

Sweet Miss Shannon, seemed to come into her own, on tonight's show, where she actually seemed to speak up, and tell how she saw things. Very good to see Shannon almost become a new person tonight! Not to mention of all of the girls she looked the best by a mile. She stated that she was getting involved with some web site, and said who knows, you may see her becoming/going Country for a solo debut album. Probably the best sure route for her, but I would definitely like to see Shannon become a Pop artist, over Country. If she had the right promo team, she could be something in the Pop world, various people have stated she was the best dancer in Danity Kane.

Last but definitely not least we heard from the fiery little diva in the making, Aubrey. Oh god I love me some Aubrey! She knows exactly how to bring the attention onto herself, which is what you need to make yourself a bigger star, than you currently are. Her future solo endeavors include going back to Broadway for another musical, as well as focusing on Fall 2009 reality TV show, which will probably be about her day to day life and her journey to make her solo debut album. Something to look forward for, but she better hope it doesn't get canceled cause that would not be a good look in any way!

As a whole...

Danity Kane seems to be in the same mind set, and Diddy pretty much agreed with them. The four seemed pretty open for a Danity Kane reunion, except the thing was, nobody wanted it to be right now! They all are to concentrated on their solo projects to commit to a Danity Kane album. So that goes for the internet hoax about their third studio album, From The Ashes, which they were supposedly said to be in the studio recording. Diddy even went to say on the show in front of all four of five members that there would not be another Danity Kane, unless it was the original 5 members. Though ironically he went on to say he will create another superstar female group, who will hopefully respect the opportunity more and learn how to deal with things that come along with groups, although saying , not that these ladies (Danity Kane ) didn't... Kinda odd, but yeah-it's Diddy!

The way I see it, is if Danity Kane doesn't reunite within a year, maybe two years max, who is really going to be checking for them! They will becoming part of the past, another group to be and go in the mid 2000s. I did enjoy their music as a group, but if they don't get their act together collectively soon, IMO there will be no need for a DK reunion, as sad as that may sound!

No Shannon! 3 -> 2 = Danity Duo

Wow! So look here. Does it surprise anyone that Shannon Bex supposedly quit Danity Kane? I sure hope not, because it shouldn’t! Shannon didn’t seem to happy on the live season finale of Making The Band after Sway said, that MTV basically renewed the show for another season, and saying that they were going to find new members/replacements for Aubrey & D.Woods.

Plus Shannon was way to mature for Diddy and his childish BS of how he tried to blame Danity Kane for the issues which he was going to bring upon them as he insinuated that he wanted D.Woods out, after kicking out Aubrey.

By now, if Shannon’s departure of the group is true, then I think Aundrea is only staying around in hopes that Diddy will give her a solo deal. Because we all know with Shannon gone Diddy is just one step closer of having his goal achieved, Dawn with a solo deal on Bad Boy. Not to mention Diddy called Aundrea out as a “problem child,” and practically put her in the same group as Aubrey & D.Woods. Thats a diss Diddy!

I could see a label picking up Aubrey as a solo artist; I just hope the same could be possible for Shannon and if so that she’d sell and become at least a B-list pop star, since she seems so nice, genuine & deserving.

So much for Welcome To The Dollhouse outselling Danity Kane and releasing more singles than it as well. Good luck Danity Duo-doubt a newly reformed DK will reach the short lived DK peak!

A Trio, Best Way Now!

Wow, so Diddy actually wasn’t “kicking” Aubrey O’Day out of Danity Kane as a publicity stunt. Big surprise that Wanita “D.Woods” Woodgette left the group as well, I think not; especially since their Ebony & Ivory friendship. Which I did find really ironic because back when the members were finally chosen as the group, Aubrey and Aundrea were best friends and it seemed genuine. Didn’t really see or notice when they kind of went their own ways.

It leaves the possibility for any sort of group with the label Danity Kane, and under Bad Boy Records, really in an odd direction. The best route for them in my eyes would be to continue as a trio. But most likely and as already speculated, Diddy is probably going to hold auditions for a Making The Band 5. To me, that’s doing way too much. Its bad enough Diddy practically broke the group up, rather letting them do so on their own, but you know in his mind he is thinking of this.

Poor Shannon, never really had a big role in the group (meaning never had many exciting solo parts), or on the show, yet was and probably is the nicest member of the group. For that only reason I hope for success of Danity Kane only if they continue as a trio or unless Diddy signs each to a solo deal. New members are out of the picture for me, it just won’t be the same.
