I finally felt like watching the screener for The Kandi Factory, Kandi’s new spin-off that premieres on Tuesday at 10 p.m. If you watched the previous version of The Kandi Factory this season is a little different. Each one hour episode is a stand-alone show where two hopefuls compete head to head for their own single and music video. I suppose it is “theirs” until Kandi decides to remove it from Tunecore like she did the winner of season one. The season will consist of 16 contestants pairing off against each other over 8 episodes.
On the premiere episode Lauryn Story is battling against Darian Wilkerson, both are from Houston Texas. Lauryn is a super cute pageanty black girl next door type. Her “twist” is that she is an aspiring country singer. You would think that Kandi would go hard with that genre since she wants to sing country herself. However, the song that Kandi writes is a pop song. I’ve already forgotten the name of the song, but I can hear the beat in my head. It’s pretty catchy. Continue reading »
It is the finale of the Real Housewives of Atlanta and that means there is only a month left before the season ends! We begin with Kenya planning her “gala” aka costume party that will serve as the final bash of the season. Kenya wants to have some scenes from classic movies with famous black actresses acted out at the party. So she thinks really hard about appropriate suggestions. Should she go with Dorothy Dandridge and Pearl Bailey in Carmen Jones? How about Butterfly McQueen as Prissy in her favorite movie of all time, Gone With the Wind? Nope, that is not what Kenya’s brain comes up with. She wants Eddie Murphy in Coming to America. Specifically the royal wedding scene “with all of the dancers with the feathers on their heads.” I am not kidding. She also calls it her “coming out party.” If she does indeed decide to come out, that might explain lots of things. You know, sometimes people accuse others of things they themselves are guilty of.
It’s already time for Real Housewives of Atlanta! This week has flown by. We start at the Bailey agency where Kenya is bringing some poor girl in to apply for both the school and the pageant. I wonder where production found this girl. The storyline is that the poor thing just somehow found Kenya and asked her to mentor her. Lord, they really need to do better than this. Kenya is going to be a judge. Of course she is, Cynthia gets to draw on the Miss USA name for her money-making pageant.
March was a month with a couple of lawsuits one brought against someone on Shahs of Sunset, and another brought by a Real Housewife of Atlanta. Kim Zolciak talked about firing Sweetie. The knuckleheads came to terms with Sheree Whitfield getting the boot from RHOA. Both Peter and Derek J faced problems with their Atlanta businesses. I also did an exclusive interview with GG who gave us a peek at what typical day in the life of GG is like. Click on the links below to take a look back. Again, apologies for any weirdness in the editing. These posts were written on Blogger and didn’t always transfer over cleanly.
