MTB3 Last Night

Did anyone suffer thru MTB3 last nite? It was hell week for the girls; and, it was hell episode for me. I don't know. This show is so cheezy because it seems so forced. Last week, MTV's editing department manipulated the footage into showing Wanita/D.Woods having a moment of personal triumph where she realized she is big-fine but brothers like that and trying to starve herself would be self-hatred.


This week, the moment of personal triumph came courtesy of the torture inflicted on Aubrey by Miss Jones. Jones claimed Aubrey couldn't sing a lick and then Aubrey started trippin' talking about she didn't want to be known as the pretty, white girl in the group who can't sing.

Aubrey, here are some random observations for you. First, you don't have to keep reminding us that you're white and a girl. We can see that. Second, you are a white girl, yes, but, pretty, no. The "pretty, white girl" title goes to Aundrea (though she looks Latina sometimes). So don't worry, hon, no one will confuse you for the pretty, white girl. You fix up nice. But that's about it. Third, we know that your voice is iffy - sometimes it's good, though. In the previous season, you weren't exactly killin' 'em with the vocals - note the performance at the N'Sync Concert. But when you were in the Betty Wright vocal session at the end of last nite's show, you sounded great.

In Aubrey's defense, Miss Jones is just a bitter, has-been singer herself. Her vocal capabilities notwithstanding, here's how one person felt after purchasing her 1998 solo album:

Though Miss Tarsha Nicole Jones makes her full-length debut with The Other Woman, the R&B singer arrives equipped with the substantial reputation of underground hit singles, guest appearances on rap tracks, and her own New York radio spots. And with The Other Woman's rap and croon cameos--from Mobb Deep, Craig Mack, Doug E. Fresh, and Dru Hill's Jazz--Miss Jones clearly has the support of friends in high places. But despite all this, the only places where The Other Woman distinguishes itself from the late-1990s glut of slickly produced, formulaic female vocal releases is with songs such as her Miki Howard cover, "Love Under New Management," which flirts with an even more saccharine era of R&B. For the most part, Miss Jones's music is as generic as her name. --Roni Sarig

Clearly, this woman is bitter and resentful, which is all the more reason why Aubrey should know she has nothing to worry about. Aubrey, just take Miss Jones' singing career as an example how to do it wrong. Let her wallow in her own damnation as a bitter spectator. {Source}

One last random note, wasn't the convo b/t Diddy and Aubrey concerning her being sent home just a little too familiar, almost intimate??? Oh, the speculation swirls.
