Danity Kane Album: “Danity Kane”

I wasn't an original follower of the band but after seeing a few episodes of Making the Band 3, I got hooked on them, specially Aundrea. My album arrived the same day that my Jessica Simpson C.D. arrived. I opted to listen to Jessica's first because I knew if I listened to Danity Kane first I would be extremely dissapointed in Jessica. Well, here's my opinion on every song:

1-"One Shot" (3.5/5) I like this song but I feel there are better songs than this one in the album.

2-"Heartbreaker" (3/5) I don't care much for this song. It could have been left out of the c.d. Makes no difference 2 me.

3-"Want It" (5/5) I absolutely love this song. For some reason I CANNOT stop listening to it. Its lyrics and beat are just FABULOUS! It is definitely a potential single.

4-"Right Now" (5/5) OMG! Boy, do I love this song! The smooth vocals and hot beat make this song a winner and another possible single. It is magnificent!

5-"Show Stopper" (5/5) At first, I was a little bit iffy when it came to this song. Honestly, there are better songs on the album that could have been the girls' first single, but it has grown into me and I absolutely adore it.

6-"Hold Me Down" (5/5) Aundrea's fabulous vocals make this song what it is! Great beat, great lyrics... great song. HIGHLIGHT: Aundrea's vocals in the 3rd verse.

7-"Come Over (Interlude)" (4.5/5) Oddly enough, this is a pretty good interlude. They should have made it into a complete song though.

8-"Ooh Ahh" (5/5) I absolutely loooove this song. The lyrics and vocals are as good as they can get in this song. Wonderful!

9-"Press Pause" (2.5/5) I pretty much don't like this song whatsoever. Its lyrics are weak and the beat doesn't do much for me. Could have definitely kept this out of the album.

10-"Ain't True (Interlude)" (1/5) I don't know what this interlude has to do with the album whatsoever. It simply doesn't suit these girls. Should have DEFINITELY kept this out of the c.d.

11-"Ride For You" (5/5) Listening to Aundrea record her part in this song on the tv show was just amazing. Hearing the finished product is a wonderful experience within itself. Wonderful lyrics, great vocals. I looove the 1st verse and bridge. Great!

12-"Touching My Body" (3.5/5) This song is ok. On or off the album, doesn't matter. It isn't a standout track.

13-"Back Up" (2.5/5) Ok, I have no idea what the girls are talking about in this song. And the lyrics are nowhere to be found, so that makes it even worse. This song should not have been recorded, much less put on the album.

14-"Stay With Me" (5/5) When I first heard a clip of this song, I was awed by the beautiful first verse and chorus. After hearing it completely, I absolutely adore it! I just wish I knew if it is Aundrea or D. Woods that sings in the 1st verse. Maybe someone can answer that 4 me. Anyways, incredible lyrics, beautiful vocals make this song a favorite.

15-"Sleep On It" (5/5) I love it. Why it is not on the track listing, is beyond me. But once again, Scott Storch does something amazing. The girls put in their talent, and the song is incredible.

Overall, a very good album. I didn't think it'd be this good. Only thing I dislike about this c.d. is the fact that Shannon is barely heard. Why? I do not know. I am sure her voice is just as good as the rest of the girls, therefore I hope to hear her A LOT more when their 2nd album drops. Buy this album, you WON'T regre it. Go Danity Kane!

MY FAVES: "Want It", "Right Now", "Show Stopper",

"Hold Me Down", "Ooh Ahh", "Ride For You", "Stay With Me", "Sleep On It"

ON SKIP: "Press Pause", "Ain't True (Interlude)", "Back Up"

My title pretty much speaks for itself. This album is INCREDIBLE. I guess I'll write a song by song review...

One Shot 4/5 - This is the theme song of Making The Band 3 during the third season. It has kind of a middle-eastern vibe to it but it is upbeat and fun to dance to.

Heartbreaker 5/5 - Definitely one of my faves. The girl power song on the CD. It has lots of guitar and a different kind of vibe to it. The kind of song you would play in the car with all your girls.

Want It 3/5 - Not one of my faves but definitely a good song. Very R&B-ish.

Right now 10/5 - THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM! Timbaland killed this beat... It's incredible. Lot's of drums in the background and the vocals are so good. It's about wanting to take it to the next level with a guy but they can't. I love this freakin' song. LoL Always on repeat.

Show Stopper 4/5 - We all know this song. The most urban song on the album.

Hold Me Down 5/5 - I like this song so much because Aundrea sounds great in it. Definitely her stand out track.

Come Over Interlude 5/5 - I like the beat. Kinda slow and "whispery".

Ohh Ahh 5/5 - Pretty short. Sounds like it is more of a little interlude rather than a full song but I still love it. They all sound great. Talks about a guy making them say "ohh ahh" when they're with him or when he touches them.

Press Pause 4/5 - Very "pop". Reminds me of something Britney Spears would sing like her song "Anticipating". The main difference is that... They can actually sing. LoL

Ain't True Interlude 3/5 - Very much R&B. Really slow and mellow.

Ride For You 5/5 - A pretty love song. If you watched the show then you've heard them sing it. They all sound so good in this song.

Touching My Body 5/5 - Pretty much the same from the show except Dawn adds a little bit more in the song. I liked the show version better but I still love the song.

Back Up 3/5 - This is a good song, it just hasn't caught onto me yet. The beat is kinda plain to me.

Stay With Me 5/5 - Such a pretty song. It's slow and vocals are beautiful. Dawn sounds so nice in this song.

Sleep On It(Bonus Track) 5/5 - Has a southern feel to it and produced by Scott Storch so you know it's a hot song. I just don't like the high pitched opera type singing in the verses. But I love D. Woods part. She makes the song, in my opinion.

I hope this helped you guys out. Not just one hit wonders, these girls are gonna make it. Hopefully Grammy's because this CD is Grammy worthy.

I would first like to say - "What a suprise!" I really didn't think that this CD would be good but I love it. I played the whole thing staight and I love the beats, singing, and lyrics. I only brought it because I love the show and enjoys the singles that they played on the show (so I knew I would like at least like half). But to my surprise they were holding some of the good tracks for the CD and downloads. I think that this is a most have CD, the girls really did their "Thang". LOVE IT!

I must admit that when Diddy came back on MTV with this Making the Band 3 concept I was very skeptical, particularly after "Da Band" flopped and was dismantled after Making the Band 2. Danity Kane however exceeds all initial expectations. When I heard the first song released titled "Showstopper," I was a little disappointed as I did not find that song to be mainstream or likeable enough to persuade the average music listener to want to hear more from this band. Ultimately however, the song grows on you, and the video is incredible.

Now that I have had the chance to listen to the entire album I am pleased to report that it is great and the best tracks are yet to come. "Ride for You" is a ballad produced by Brian Cox which has top 10 single written all over. It's the classic relationship song to which we can all relate to and the ladies harmonize effortlessly over track. This is a potential #1.

"Right Now" is a track produced by Timbaland that has an extremely melodic beat and is entrancing. It also has the social awareness that has been missing since TLC broke up. This track also has top 10 potential.

"Hold Me Down" is a track produced by Rodney Jerkins which is more pop than R&B. Andrea is FIRE on this track. This song will definitely have your butt wiggling around the seat. This song will get a lot of airplay on Top 40 stations and will be banging at almost every club you walk in to.

"Touching My Body" is a track that has a great beat. Very rhythmic. The girls are not great vocally on the track, and the production falls a little short, but overall I expect this track to get plenty of play as well.

"Sleep On It" is a much anticipated track from Scott Storch. It has a great beat, but I do not for one second believe that the album version is the version that is going to be getting radio play. Rumor has it that there are "several" remixes to this song, and anyone who watched the show will remember that D. Woods and Aubrey were asked back into the studio to "add" parts to this song. You have to remember that Diddy and Bad Boy "INVENTED THE REMIX"......so watch out b/c the remixed version odf this song is going to be CRAZY!

Great first album....Go get it!

It dosen't get much better than this....Smooth R&B with hip hop beats....Nothing but FIRE!!!!
