Day 26 by default!

So, we have been fortunate to be able to experience music groups such as The Temps, The Tops, The Stylistics, The O'Jays, The Supremes, The Miracles (from back in the day), New Edition, Jodeci, Guy, Dru Hill, 112, & Jagged Edge, to name a few. As we finish out the decade and get deeper into the new millenium, who do we have to look forward to?
Umm..i'm thinking...i'm thinking...oh, there is this group out now called Day 26. Well, they're OK I guess. I won't lie, I did watch Making the Band 4, and it is quite entertaining. The fellas seem like good people. But, what actually turned me off occured on the show itself. During last season's finale, while Dannity Kane was going through more of their drama on the set (we won't get into them, not worth the time, MAYBE in another blog at a future date, TBD). The fellas from Day 26 took the stage to perform a few songs off their album. How was the performance? I'm glad you asked. To put it mildly....the performances SUCKED!! No harmony, no range, no singing ability. They looked like some guys that were picked off the street and asked to come together to form a group (oh wait, that's actually what happened).
Now, I am not knocking the guys hustles, and certainly am all for Day 26 doing their thing. As I say that, though, the "brainwashed" success of Day 26 would have to be attributed to the MTV show, and Diddy's promotion of the group (which, by the way, is all for him, don't think for a second Day 26 is actually for the members of the actual group). Diddy has done a good job with doing what he normally does, and getting Day 26 into the mainstream. And marketing himself in the process, as always. Let's not get it twisted though, once Diddy is done with these guys that will be a wrap. Someone will go into real estate, someone else into production, someone else will just go back home like all this Day 26 stuff never happened. Either way, if you view this group of quality, formidable, all-time, you are surely mistaken. This is a temporary gig so you all better enjoy Day 26 while you can. Because this train is not headed to Paris!!
