Back To Pazsaz Entertainment Network's Making The Band Page The Notorious LAG Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang are touring the country together - with the help of their mentor Diddy, of course. Now that Danity Kane and Day26 have both scored #1 albums, Diddy expects nothing but perfection from them. On tour, he wants to make sure fans really get their money's worth, so he's putting them through some rigorous preparations. And with Donnie Klang as the opening act, Diddy's hoping the rising star's debut album also soars to #1. Now let's get busy! Danity Kane is extremely excited to crisscross the country because this time they're the main attraction. But with that comes the added pressure of putting on the best show possible. D. Woods admits there were some problems on their past tours, but claims the group knows exactly what they need to do this time around - dance, dance, dance. I Want My Money Back Danity Kane is getting right down to work for their upcoming tour. They're planning on performing 13 songs during their set. Fortunately, the girls are becoming seasoned vets, so a large set shouldn't pose a problem. Before the next rehearsal, Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang have to meet with Diddy to showcase their progress. Donnie is a bit nervous, but his choreographer has full confidence in him. Day26, on the other hand, knows they have a long way to go. As it stands, the guys are bumping into each other during their routine. This is obviously a huge problem seeing as there's only two weeks until the tour kicks off. When Diddy drops by the studio, he warns everyone that he's going to be tough and expects every show to get better and better. Breakdown Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang have been practicing for the big tour for two weeks now, and they've got just one more week till they hit the road. Will they be ready? To make sure they're prepared, Day26 head to Central Park to do some exercises with vocal coach Ankh Ra so they can step up their singing stamina. The run up and down stairs, make various noises and do all sort of ridiculous things on Ankh's watch. Unfortunately, people start noticing - and recognizing who they are. Showtime NYC The wait is over - Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang are finally hitting the road! And with just one day till opening night, the Making the Banders head to New York City to prepare for the main event. During a radio interview, the Day26 boys admit that they're a little anxious about the whole thing. After all, this is their first time touring. At sound check, Danity Kane flaunt their headliner status by hitting the stage for a long rehearsal - a very, very long rehearsal. They've got a lot of things to run through, and there are some serious sound glitches to overcome. Hit The Road Day26 and Danity Kane are hitting the studio to cut radio promos for the individual cities they'll be stopping by on the tour. Not quite as easy as you would think, the bands had fun as the fumbled over some of their lines. Dawn and Q. let us know that their relationship is still strong and healthy. Dawn admits that she's particularly excited to hit the road with Day26 so she can see Qwanell a little more than usual. Three-Way Split Before Danity Kane's show in Utah, the girls decided to take a breather and relax. Aubrey wants to go to a spa, but the other girls vote in favor of horseback riding. A little bummed, Aubrey awkwardly climbs up on a horse in her 5-inch heels. Meanwhile, Day26 are having a ball in beautiful Las Vegas enjoying the scenery - aka women - and Donnie Klang is getting down to work on his music video in Los Angeles. Donnie admits to being nervous, after all, this music video thing is completely new to him. But Diddy pushes him hard to give his all in front of the camera. Sex And The Diddy The girls and boys have two more destinations before they are done with their tour. Their next stop is San Diego. Danity Kane visits a Naval Base and meets with sailors and their families to sign autographs and take pictures. Danity Kane felt it was a great opportunity to make their lives better. The girls are then are off to LA for their final show. Before the concert Danity Kane shoots their fourth video "Bad Girl." The girls transform into convict "bad girls" with alter egos. They all played different roles in the video. Aubrey gets interrogated by a mean detective and cuffs him, then throws him on a table. D. Woods was in a peep show box; Dawn was strapped in a gurney by a mad scientist and the others were either tied up to a chain in a dungeon atmosphere or riding a motorcycle and karate kicking a guy. Superstar singer Missy Elliot appears in their video as well. Damaged The girls and guys are finally done with the tour, but everyone is saddened that it's almost time for them to go their separate ways. Will their journey end here or will they still have fun together one last time? In New York, the groups come back to appear on TRL. Afterwards, to show appreciation for all their hard work, Diddy surprised them with an all expense paid weekend in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They hop on the private jet and embark on their intoxicating flight jet setting straight to Cabo. The girls stayed in style with an ocean view in the presidential suite of the hotel, while the boys got the governors suite below them. While everyone is in Cabo, Donnie is in New York City appearing on TRL alongside host Lyndsey Rodrigues. Donnie later signs autographs and meets fans at a store to promote his new album Just a Rolling Stone. Live Finale The girls are on the cutting block as Diddy decides Danity Kane's future. In a meeting that changes everything, Diddy thinks the vision of the group has altered, Audrena doesn't know if the rest of Danity Kane has their hearts in the group, and Aubrey feels overwhelmingly depressed. The intense reality comes to surface that Diddy does not want Aubrey in the group any more. He doesn't like her energy and "wildin' out" ways. But that's not all. Diddy realizes that Aubrey has a click with D. Woods and subsequently asks D. Woods if she is happy in the group. Her response is "no," which was probably not the best answer because Diddy cuts her, too. Sway brings Aundrea, Shannon, and Dawn to the scene. Aundrea tells everyone that she doesn't even know what to do anymore. Shannon thinks that Danity Kane is a family and that all families have their issues every once in a while. Dawn continues to think that they are all strong women and will get it together. Surprisingly, Aubrey comes to the stage during all of this and gives a tell all. She explains how sick she is of people disrespecting her, but that she would rather be hated than be someone she is not. She doesn't regret anything that happened and ends by telling everyone to vote for Obama. London Bridges Falling Down Day 26 are getting a taste of just how fare their fame has come, international style. Their trip to London starts off with a bang as they all pack up their clothes and hurry out of their rooms because of what they think is a real fire. It turns out to be just a drill but it puts a pop in their step to start their sightseeing adventures. They struggle to stay awake as their guide gives them a history lesson in their stroll around on their private sightseeing bus. Back in New York, the tone is a little more serious as Diddy comes over to meet with Donnie. Diddy warns him that even with his quiet personality he has to start making some noise. Donnie tells him that he has been writing some new material and Diddy quickly counters that his dreams are in jeopardy and he will have no second chance for new material if he doesn't pick up this album. Start Spreading The News Day 26 is finally back from London and after toasting over dinner, discuss the fact that they need to take their second album to the next level. They meet up with their producer from their first album, Bryan "B" Cox and hear a few of his ideas before getting started. Not feeling as much success, Donnie is off to Vegas to try to put up a fight and save his struggling album. He gets to work on his idea of building a fan base one fan at a time when he approaches a group of girls at the Palm Hotel pool area and starts casual conversation. His opening act for the Backstreet Boys is a success and he even feels the stardom when he has a few awkward interactions with fans in the VIP room. Back in New York, Dawn shares her frustrations of the group's mishaps as she strolls through the city streets with Qwanell. In the recording studio, Day 26 is energized as they get started with B Cox on their recording session for their new song "Stadium Music", a song that is completely out of their first album element. Qwanell explains that this is even more exciting because it is exactly what he wanted the group to evolve into so they could separate themselves from other R & B artists. How You Gonna Fix It The girls of Danity Kane discuss whether to say goodbye to the group or fight if the other girls decide not to come back and Dawn says she'll gladly try to get in touch with everyone once more. Across town, Diddy moves Day26 into their new crib where they take their time checking out their pimped out pad and breathtaking views. Will cozies up on the couch to talk to his wife LaShanda where she tells him how hard it has been taking care of their three year old son Kavion alone. Will agrees that Kavion can come stay at their new house to give her a break and when he announces it to the group, they are nervous for the ruckus that the little guy might cause. Everyday I'm Hustling Donnie is off to Minneapolis to try to keep his fan base where he woo's the crowd at the Mall of America with his song "Take Me There." Taken back by the fans response, he thinks the whole event went very smoothly. Back in New York, the situation is tense for Day26 who is hurting financially. Their manager, Joseph 'Screwface' Charles shows up at their pad to tell them that their deal is still only about 75 percent done. Que is having the most trouble dealing with this no income time because his family relies on him for financial support. Leader Of The Pack The guys of Day26 think it's about time to sit down with their manager and figure out how to get their hands on some cash. "Screwface" assures the guys that he's working day and night to figure out their contract and he sees a light at the end of the tunnel. He tells Day26 just to hang in there. Later at dinner, Que continues to complain about his financial situation. Will steps in and a light-hearted match of bickering begins between him and Que. The Curse Day 26's bowling extravaganza is cut short when they have to rush home to meet Screwface to finally get paid and sign their contracts. Skid also pays a visit which is when the tension builds about the direction of the new album. While Will and Brian think its important to keep with the R&B feel to give the fans what they know, Que is looking to take the album in a different direction. During the first recording sessions, Que doesn't like the song choices and stays uninvolved in the corner of the studio. When he finally walks out of one of the sessions and talks to Dawn, she advises him the importance of going back and having his voice heard. He takes her advice and returns to the recording session but jumps right into recording a song his heart just isn't into. Spiral Tensions continue to escalate over Que's poor attitude. Meanwhile, things are starting to look up for Donnie, who meets with Diddy to discuss the future. Fight Night With the fall of Danity Kane still on everyone's minds, Day26 has tried to avoid another Making the Band tragedy but tension between the guys has only worsen. The boys head out to an early recording session in the studio but are late because of Que. Screwface asked why the group was late and Brian points the finger at Que. When Brian starts to run the recording session, Que wants to walk out of the studio and ends up in a screaming match with Screwface. Day26 comes together in the studio to talk about the underlying issues of that morning's fight. Que starts to blame Brian for acting different in front of the camera which causes a fight to erupt between the two guys. Later on, Day26 reflects on what happened in the studio and they all try to figure out how the group is going to go on. When it's time to hit the studio again, Que doesn't show up to work. As Que excludes himself from the group more and more, the group starts to rethink Que's feelings about Day26. Judgement Day Day26 has been falling apart at the seams as the guys continue to disagree with the direction the group is going in. Que feels that the four other guys don't want him in the group, but the other guys believe that Que's heart is no longer in the game. Que gets a text message saying that the group will move on with or without him and he assumes that means he's out of Day26. At rehearsal, another fight breaks out between Que and the other guys. Que leaves the room saying he wants to go home but Dawn steps in and mediates the situation. The guys realize that they're all passionate about their work and need to stick together as brothers. Day26 couldn't make up in time for Diddy though, when they get a message that a house meeting is being called by the hip hop mogul. Diddy stops by the house to tell Day26 that Que won't be joining them on the cruise but he'll stay in the group. Diddy then turns his attention to Danity Kane to tell them that he's made a decision about the fate of the group. Love On The High Seas Day26 performs on a cruise ship while Qwanell stays behind, unsure of his future. Elsewhere, Dawn is determined to bounce back after Danity Kane's demise. Live: The Final Chapter Sway Calloway hosts this look back at the season. Included: Day26 perform songs from their sophomore album.
