What some people don’t know is that she was offered a solo contract and turned it down for education! If she ever puts anything out we will support her!
Dominique could sing her face off, but let’s be real, her powerful voice wasn’t meant for a group, and she had trouble catching choreography. However she got a solo deal, but turned it down once she realized how the industry operated. This is an iconic moment.
I mean Posh Spice didnt have a big voice or could give us a Bob Fosse number but she worked very hard....if Dominique wanted to do the work, she could and wouldve been the best!
Legit goosebumps. I’ll never forget this moment for her. She was the best singer hands down. It’s such a shame someone with that kind of talent doesn’t make it in the industry.
She didn't win because she wasn't a great dancer. She had the voice but she couldn't dance. You had to be able to do both. I remember, I wanted her to win though.
Idk why but I cry every time I see this. It wasn't a perfect vocal but her feeling was perfect, her bravery, her soul, especially after running miles and miles...I really wanted her to go through but her dancing was just really stiff =/ but I think I heard Diddy offered her a solo deal! 💖 Also I love Shannons face & Kauiiii! 💖
What do you mean, that was a PERFECT vocal. On pitch, controlled, supported, emotive, what do you mean it wasn’t perfect. And what miles were ran? You’re on the wrong episode love
i adored Dominque so much she was so cute and had that amazing voice. and she COULD dance just not at the level of the other girls. had the choreo been simpler she would have been a shoe in.
My fave is the editing in the first five seconds. When they cut to Laurie Ann watching, you clearly see the girl singing in the previous shot in the mirror against the wall not singing. #realitytvediting
I remember it also. It’s funny because I was just watching someone do the DebraCoxChallenge and I instantly thought back to this moment. Needless to say I had to come watch it!
This lives RENT FREE IN MY HEAD. Mz Gibson was like CHILE ! Diddy stopped whatever he was doing. S H E D I D N O T C O M E T O P L A Y , S H E C A M E T O S L A Y
@biggie TALLS you’re not wrong. Aundrea was the weakest dancer of DK but had killer vocals - and like they said in Season 1 “her sexiness just seems natural.” Whereas Dominque had a fantastic voice, she couldn’t dance and didn’t have the look he wanted. If Diddy thought Wanita was thick imagine Dominique. 😬
Throughout this season you could tell Diddy seen her more as a solo artist.. From this even looking at the last episode when she was singing Tell me.. I see why she got the solo deal offer
She's a singer. She can sang, but she was trying to get those dance moves. Really trying. She even hurt her ankle during a dance routine. Remember, she even lost weight for Diddy. I'm sure she's still singing with a voice like that. I still get tears in my eyes watching this.
I didn't realize how pitchy she was when this first aired. Probably because she had no music to guide her. Still the BEST vocal moment from the season merely because we saw briefly the reality of her dreams coming true and she sung with so much conviction.
Chills!!!!! She did that!!! Wish she would of made the group but she wasn't the best dancers and her face during performances looked as if she was in pain.
Purtisha Wood right! I’m looking at this like wow, that girl was nowhere near big and they made it seem like she had to lose so much weight. Females would kill to look like that. Smh
I hate that damn Puffy! He told her to lose some weight and she did! She didn't lose too much, but still didn't make it. She worked her butt off to please that clown. What messes me up is he did the same with big Mike frm Day 26. He lost some weight but he ain't no slim and he still made the band. Makes me mad bcuz Dominique coulda replaced Shannon's azz, don't kno what he saw in her 😒
What a Blessing Looking Back that she did NOT except or get picked. Andre Harrell pretty much begged her Not to go with DIDDY. Because she would NOT be the same person we know today🦋
Image is not fair , that what is going on with the Music, no soul, and we are waiting or having withdrawals from the Motown Era and R&b right now ,,,because they keep putting out Image over substance ..I dont care if she cant dance she a vocalist let her do what she do best and put Goosebumps on the people soul..
Ashley Alexandria It was a dancing pop group and she couldn’t dance. How was she going to keep up next to Dawn and Shannon? I was rooting for her too but this wasn’t the fit for her.
Alexiou Gibson I disagree. Dancing can be a learned skill and if they truly wanted her in the group, they would’ve put more effort into molding her. Her looks didn’t fit what he envisioned for that group and that had a lot to do with his decision.
@Ashley Alexandria I watched the entire season and she was a favorite of mine. She got a lot better but was still miles behind the others. Most of DK were dancing their whole life. She wasnt a fit for the group and thats okay. They offered her a solo contract but it didnt go anywhere. You talk about taking time to molding as if they didnt put together that mold her but they only had 8 weeks after the show to record an entire album and shoot music videos. It wasn’t realistic.
Alexiou Gibson Look, I have my opinion and you have yours. I feel like her looks had a lot to do with their decision. Her “solo contract” not going anywhere says a lot in itself. It’s cool to agree to disagree. Have a good night.
unbothered cocooning ok she said Diddy offer her a semi deal and she turn it down because she wasn’t willing to give up all her morals. She is now a teacher and still has a great voice
@@fungirl2840 Diddy had the group picked out the first audition this season. Aundrea and Aubrey were the fan favorites from the previous season and their friendship brought ratings so they were in. Aundrea was the best singers from bother season so she was a lock. He played with her for tv but he wanted her. Diddy bought dawn out of an expensive contrac5 at the audition so she was in because she cost him money (dawn confirmed it in an interview). Shannon was on the reality show fame with Jonny wright during the first season of MTB when didn’t didn’t make a band the first season he brought her to the Audition and she had a spot locked in because he was DKs manager. Only the last spot was open. I think it was likely for Malika but she got sent home. Then he wanted jasmine but she dropped the ball the last episode and couldn’t harmonize so he gave the last spot to d woods. He had 4 of the 5 girls picked the first episode. Then he offered Dominique a solo deal like Donnie had but she turned it down
@@fungirl2840 it’s all stuff that has come out over the years. Aundrea and Aubrey were the fan favorites of both seasons. Notice they used aundrea struggling dancing as the storyline to make her look like the underdog that season. The episode she struggled Laurie Ann had it out for her at the beginning. She was Laurie Ann’s favorite the first season dance wise. Laurie said her only issue with dancing what’s that it took her a bit longer to learn the step but once she got it she was amazing. That episode they learned two routines but only showed clips of the one aundrea had issues with Dawn admitted Diddy bought her out of a contact on RUclips a few years ago. He also played with her for cameras for a storyline. He recorded unaired clips of him telling her she was going home because she was signed to a contract knowing that he bought her out. Notice when they reveal the band at the finale dawn actually the last picked aundrea was fourth. But they edited it with aundrea being last because it match her underdog storyline since they scrapped all the scenes of Diddy telling dawn she wouldn’t make the group for camera. You can actually see dawn still in line when they call aundrea a name. Shannon has clips of her on fame with Johnny wright. And it’s on his wiki. Dominique said he offered her a solo deal but she turned it down. A few of her demos were on MySpace back in the day. Only one who didn’t have a pre picked slot was d woods. Diddy like jasmine more based off clips but she couldn’t harmonize because doc put his foot down. He knew denoshe was a diva so he didn’t pick her. He liked d More than taquita so she got picked. Dominque actually had scenes cut of her arguing with Melissa and kawi but those likely got cut to not make dominque look bad because he wanted to make her a solo artist. Clips of that cut scene can be seen on the first episode during previews for the season.
The fact of her not being able to dance wasn't a reason to get rid of her. Just teach her the choreography & have her practice more. She def had an amazing voice!
to think the choreo for the first album wasnt as hadrcore as what they were being tested on prior . they could have made the choreo a bit easier and placed her in the group. .i would take out d woods and placed dom in that spot. then aundrea would have had someone just as short as her in the line up lol
I can still remember this moment so clearly. she did that. sad she didn't make the band
Jessica Garvin *Laurieann voice* PRAISES DOMINIQUE!!!!!!!!!! Cause I'm about to CRY!!!!
Yes! I remember like it was yesterday, I dang near cried too lol...who is she?
She got a solo deal but turned it down
@@shelly-annhorsford7705 i wonder why she turned it down

To go to college
The original Nobody's Supposed to be her challenge! She did that 💯💯
What some people don’t know is that she was offered a solo contract and turned it down for education! If she ever puts anything out we will support her!
I’ll never understand why people made it seem like you can’t go back and go to college smh

Thats awesome.

She prob got a taste of Diddy and saw enough!
Smart girl👍🏾
And wow she chose mental health and saved her life by choosing to be a teacher god bless her
That came from her Gut! I definitely cried watching that scene.
Laurie ann have weak everytime 😂😂😂
Right 😂😂😂😂
She was so extra
Omg she was even worse on her dance show 😂😂 an emotional wreck the whole time!! The slightest sob story from a contestant had her on the floor!!
Everytime I hear this song I think of this moment. She is truly iconic.
She tried so hard.. I give it up for her tenacity.
The OG of the Deborah Cox Challenge!!! Respect!!!!
That clip still brings tears to my eyes. Her voice was so beautiful and they way she sang that song... 😭😭😭😭
That key change took my life and frankly I’m not even mad about it

Shes singing for life!
This is like one of the only memories I have from Making the Band from this season. She belted! Sang her face offffffff!!!! Represent! 👊🏽
This lives rent free in my head! Like I can be washing dishes,nowhere near music or Deborah Cox and it just pops up,lol.
Chills still to this day... I wanted her to make the band so bad :(
Same! Literally.
Just saw it again
And chills amazing
Dominique made meee cry as soon as she started singing I got goosebumps then the tears came
Legit goosebumps. I’ll never forget this moment for her. She was the best singer hands down. It’s such a shame someone with that kind of talent doesn’t make it in the industry.
I literally have chills from her performance. daaaaamn
She didn't win because she wasn't a great dancer. She had the voice but she couldn't dance. You had to be able to do both. I remember, I wanted her to win though.
Tameaka Brown I wanted her to win too. So bad. She couldn't dance but she could sing her ass off!
She was offered a record deal by bad boy and signed to the label but she didn’t like how everything operated behind the scenes
Tameaka Brown i wanted her to win too or at least get a solo deal like he did for donnie
She sounds terrible
Its 2022 and every time I think of this song I think about this moment Dom killed it
Idk why but I cry every time I see this. It wasn't a perfect vocal but her feeling was perfect, her bravery, her soul, especially after running miles and miles...I really wanted her to go through but her dancing was just really stiff =/ but I think I heard Diddy offered her a solo deal! 💖 Also I love Shannons face & Kauiiii! 💖

1:01 Laurie Ann had me laughing so hard 🤣 but Dominique sound amazing
Laurie Anne caught the Holy Ghost in that moment. That's how you you know God is REAL.
i adored Dominque so much she was so cute and had that amazing voice. and she COULD dance just not at the level of the other girls. had the choreo been simpler she would have been a shoe in.
I will never forget this episode lol
Spilled her guts out. Like heaven's gates were about to open.
Her voice gives me chills
She made a great decision . Good for her saved her life much love
This moment brought me to tears
Because it was so bad?
This still makes me cry
I remember this but Dominique just couldn't get those moves down smh but mama could sang!
I still get goosebumps
The epitome of *preparation* and rising to the occasion- DominIQUE!!🤩👏👏👏you better SING!
I cried❤️I love her
Lmbo @ Laurie Ann: "Praise Him Dominique!! Good gurhl!" 🤣😂🤣😂
Sang her heart out
But for some odd reason he put D. Woods in the band.....😑🙄
Boy bye, That wasn’t an odd reason at all 😂😂
I KNOW RIGHT?!!!
Too this day this still makes me cry

She cant sing tho

She definitely could sing.
She wasn’t the only one

Anyone remember Taquita and Kaui's reality show?? Also I can NOT believe society made me think Dominique was fat.
Unfortunately, we didn't know any better back then!
I remember!
Diddy with this fan🤣🤣🤣🤣 we still love Dominique!!!
Now that's singing!!@ 0:47 😂😂
Remember this years after it happened. 100% deserved. Still wish I could have heard a record from her.
I hope she is still successful...what a voice knock me out...
0:30 King Combs
I remember seeing this when it first aired. She is so amazing. I wish the show wouldn’t have focused so much on everything else other than singing
I remember it also. It’s funny because I was just watching someone do the DebraCoxChallenge and I instantly thought back to this moment. Needless to say I had to come watch it!
Everybody remembers this scene
I though Kwaii could sing her little notes but Dominique is a true vocalist
Unforgettable!!!!
Still makes me cry. In a good way.

towards the very end but thats how u know u sang ur heart out ❤ know the difference.
