Dance Shows Updates- Bring It!

Last month I started a post "mini series" called Dance Shows Updates, featuring updates on reality dance shows. The first was about Dance Moms and the recent new TV special Dance Moms: The Reunion. You can read about it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2024/07/dance-shows-updates-dance-moms-reunion.html

In that post I also mentioned that there are a couple of spin-offs  from the TV programme Bring It!, The Dolls and its prequel Dianna , and that's what I'm focusing on today.

Bring It! is an American reality show following the dance team Dancing Dolls, who are based in Jackson, Mississippi and their coach Dianna Williams, known as Coach D. The dance style that the students perform is hip hop majorette. 

The show premiered in March 2014 and ran for 5 seasons (or series as we also call them in the UK). The last season was shown in March 2018. We saw the first one in the UK (they showed it on Lifetime UK which no longer exists) and I think the second one later. I would have liked to see more series. While it hasn't been officially cancelled, I don't think there are any plans to bring it back (lol), due to the new show/s.

My first post about Bring It! was in 2014, as part of a post called Dance Videos. You can see it here (scroll down): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2014/08/dance-videos.html

I also wrote a post featuring a stand battle from the show in 2015: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2015/12/bring-it-video.html

And watch the trailer for S1 of Bring It! here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlM1BryXEFA

Now Dianna aka Coach D, has returned for two new shows, The Dolls and Dianna. I had originally thought it was just Dianna but it's actually a prequel to the new TV series The Dolls.

Dianna is described as a 3-part prequel reunion special, where Dianna "unpacks the trauma of her last 10 years on and off television". She is joined by some of the mums. Both programmes are showing on Brandon TV (BTV) which is a worldwide streaming app.

Side note: Brandon Studio says that they are currently focused on bringing reality TV queens back to TV and they also have a show called Mad House featuring Dance Moms' teacher Abby Lee Miller!

Dianna premiered in March and The Dolls started in June. Here's a teaser for both shows:

 


And here's another trailer for The Dolls:



It seems crazy that both Bring It! and Dance Moms were 10 years ago now! It's nice that Dianna and the Dancing Dolls have made a return to the public eye. I'd like to see the new shows, but I don't have BTV. Hopefully we'll eventually get them on mainstream TV. DD4L! :)

Were you a Bring It! fan? What do you think of the new shows?

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo),
