Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature built to honour TV and Film’s impactful past.
Today, we celebrate the rise, fall and epic rebirth of the Urban Pop group Danity Kane. The band was formed by Diddy on his version of MTV’s ‘Makin’ Da Band‘ platform and gave the world fly-on-the-wall access to the cut throat nature of the music business and, in some cases, its harsh treatment of young girls and women.
Waiting below are scenes lifted from the series (where the group suffered its first demise) and clips which celebrate its grand comeback!
Press play…
As for their triumphant return? Marked by cool highs and surprising lows.
With the past behind them, the group (now a trio) continues to carve out exciting new ground in the world of Pop…years after many in the business wrote them off.
They never needed d. woods in the group. #Justsaying
NOT WRONG. SHE WAS LIKE SPRINKLES TO THE ALREADY PERFECT SUNDAE. THE GROUP COULD TOTALLY USE DREA AKA THE CHERRY ON TOP.
Theyre old news! NObody is checking for these elderly chicks LOL
WHO ALL HAPPEN TO BE IN THEIR 30s AND XSCAPE IS IN THEIR 40s SO RELAX.
Looking forward to the next album. Would love an album with all five members contributing! But I’ll take DK anyway I can get them. One of my fav groups.
DK3 is dope and have what it takes their last album shows these girls got an ear for great R&B/pop records
I was never a big fan until the Welcome to the Dollhouse album. So many good songs on that record. I wish this blog paid tribute more to the decent girl groups instead of waiting time on rubbish like Fifth Harmony and Little Mix
The Only 3 members who could realy sing in this group was D.Woods,Dawn and exspecially Andrea. Shanon and Aubery was good for the Image. I think they was more interessting when they was 5 members. Back in the day I was a huge Fan but for me that Era is over.
FIRST OFF, AUBREY CAN BLOW. SHANNON CAN SING AS WELL. EVERYONE IN THE GROUP SINGS LIVE AND WELL.
Love them! Just saw them in Atlanta. I hope they get their stuff together this time though lol.
