Asia Nitollano (Pussycat Doll) Dancing Back To The Knicks

Asia Nitollano, winner of The Pussycat Dolls Presents: The Search For The Next Doll, is dancing her way back to the NY Knicks. Asia is one of the 30 semifinalists for the 2009-2010 Knicks City Dancers. Shane Sparks from America's Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance was one of the judges.

Asia needs your help...Make sure your favorite KCD Top 30 finalist is still in the game after training camp - cast your Knicks City Dancers Immunity Vote now! This isn't the first time Asia has danced for the New York NBA team. She was on the squad before getting selected for the reality show.

She was my pick to win the Pussycat Dolls reality show. I really wanted to see her perform with the group. When it came out that she wasn't joining the Dolls, many of us were upset and confused. Asia was the one that decided to turn down the opportunity to join the Pussycat Dolls in order to pursue a solo career. She signed a record deal with The Inc. (Irv Gotti's record label). I was introduced to Asia a couple years ago thru PR guru Marvet Britto at the BET Awards. She was a very sweet person. I hope things work out with her singing career. Please support Asia by voting!!

Down to 12 on SYTYCD


Tonight on SYTYCD, the judges sent home Vitolio and Karla. Joining them in the bottom were Phillip, Jeanine, Kupono, and Kayla. Totally didn't call this one. Are there really that many Jason/Caitlin and Evan/Randi fans out there or did everyone assume Phillip and Jeanin were safe? Phillip and Jeanine pulled their worth, but Nigel made sure Jeanine knew that she was the best of the night. I agree. Even though Phillip danced a little "desperate," I loved it. However, I'm bias to hip hop. Kayla was critizised by not dancing from the heart, and Kupono was an earful about how he barely danced at all. In the end, Vitolio and Karla have been in the bottom too many times to be saved at that point. Next week is the last week with steady partners!

So You Think You Can Dance -- Top 14 dancers!


The competition is getting tight in So You Think You Can Dance. My favorite would obviously be Phillip & Jeanine's hip hop routine. Jeanine was noticeably better this time around and definitely kept up with Phillip. Napoleon and Tabitha made them dance while tied to a chain the whole time. Danger! Mia publicly announced that she now on pro-Brandon who had to start the show with a cha-cha. Ade and Melissa had a classical ballet routine inspired by Romeo & Juliet that the judges loved. Kayla and Kupono drew Sonya out of the hat and earned the judges praises for a second week. Randi and Evan seem to slip out of the judges' graces again. I think they are being noticibly tougher on this duo. I suppose its a good thing because they actually need to grow to compete with the other couples. At the end of the day, the judges liked their (not-by-Tyce) broadway routine. Jason and Caitlin got a quirky dance from Brian Freedman in which Caitlin had to be an alien. It was okay, but it looks lackluster after Sonya's routine. Unfoturnately, this is a couple that seems destined to dance for their lives to the top 10 cut off. Vitolio and Karla made their debut to the dreaded quickstep. Vitolio got some praises, but Karla got some criticism. At the end of the episode, I'm still puzzled who will end up in the bottom. If I had to predict, Vitolio & Karla, Jason & Caitlin, and Randi & Evan. Tune in tonight to see who's cut!

BET Awards '09: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Last night (6/28/09) was the BET Awards/Michael Jackson Tribute. The night was filled with highs and lows. You still have to give it up the BET Staff for doing the best they could in a short amount of time. Shout out to all the people in the GlobalGrind.com chatroom last night (Illmatic, NYShorty, CeeGee2009, Emma, Ahseya_ayesha and everyone else). Very Entertaining!!

Here are a few of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly moments from the show.

THE GOOD
  • Janet Jackson coming out to thank the fans on behalf of the family. Thank you Janet we really needing to hear that!! (Video #1)
  • Jamie Foxx performing Blame It with T-Pain. Along with special guests Snoop Dogg (still not sure why he was out there) and Travis Barker from Blink 182.
  • Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence teaming up as Sheneneh and Wanda in Skank Robbers...VERY FUNNY!! (Video #2)
  • Day 26's performance at the pre-show after winning Best Group.





THE BAD
  • Young Money - Drake, Lil Wayne, Baby (Birdman) performance...well what you could hear of it after all the bleeps.
  • Keri Hilson's performance of Turning Me Off/Knock You Down.
  • Pleasure P/Marcus Cooper running out of breath singing his own song during the pre-show. Not sure if I can call it singing...he just talked most of the lyrics.
  • Ving Rhames coming out with Tyrese and Taraji P. Henson for a Baby Boy movie flashback that didn't work.
THE UGLY
  • Drake, Lil Wayne, Baby (Birdman) for having little girls on stage as they perform Every Girl. Not a good look!!
  • The sound guy not have the mics loud enough for the presenters and the person that was doing the bleeps missing most of the words that needed to be bleeped...like Eddie Levert's slip. LIVE TV...Gotta Love It!!
  • Tiny and Toya promoting their new BET show. They say isn't a Baby Mama show. What else is it?? Picture below of Tiny accepting T.I.'s award for Viewers' Choice and her celebrity look-a-like Miss Piggy. It's the hair.
