Reality Shows Help Revamp Careers…Or Not

Denise Tejada on Tuesday, Feb. 22nd

Do you remember Aubrey O’Day from Danity Kane? If you don’t, it’s not surprising — her career was short. She was the girl that got fired on national television by Diddy during the hit show Making the Band. Since then, O’Day has appeared on several magazines including Playboy. She’s also starred in the Broadway musical Hairspray. Despite that, her career still went down hill.

I saw her perform over the weekend and there is no doubt the girl can sing, but does she still have what it takes to make in the music industry again? Going back to her roots, she’s giving her music career one more push on her new show “All About Aubrey” in which she tries revamp her career.

It’s not surprising she’s using the reality show platform to re-launch her career. I mean, she ain’t the first, or the last, artist to use reality shows as a way to edge back into the industry — or better yet, to show a different side, given that her last reality show was surrounded by drama.

I wonder if Diddy will tune in.

I first encountered Sifteo Cubes back at IndieCade last October, and spent some time playing around with the little blocks which I first mistook for iPod Nanos.
