Video: Day 26 – Got Me Going

Sandra Rose March 18, 2008

This is the first video from (yawn) Sean Combs‘ manufactured group Day 26. I watched a little bit of a rerun from the show on MTV today. Talk about mind numbing. Even Danity Kane were dissing these guys on their own show. Can’t MTV find a real group that has real talent and give them a show? There’s an idea.

Love the song, hate the video. As an avid watcher of MTB4 I don’t understand why they let Brian sing the first part of the second verse when it was obvious that Q sang that part…..anyways. They are not dancers, they shouldn’t dance, they look bad dancing!! JE and 112 didn’t look that great dancing, Diddy take a hint. Just let them sing. But I love the song…..corny video.

<still buying the album. btw dk’s album is great.

PS. the boys can sing, thats obvious Diddy is not packaging them right.

Awww look at my babies. I’m not feeling the song, but I like the video just because I get to see the guys doing their thing. They are not there yet, but I think they can get there if given a chance. I don’t know who came up with grown men doing flips and what not, but Diddy needs to cut that mess out. I don’t mind them dancing, but I don’t expect them to overdo it. They can do some simple moves in front of the mics. You can’t have 5 Chris Browns on the stage especially when they can’t dance like Chris Brown.

I really don’t know your taste in music Sandra, but I wish you had given these guys a chance because they really are talented. They are not gelling as a group just yet, but they can all sing.

this beat goes hard…they can sing…but they don’t really mesh well yet

the video has hot moments…but overall it’s too cheesy

maybe it’s only cheesy because i watch MTB4 and its funny to see these dudes with a vid and everything

Yea, the dancing is overdone. But these boys can sing, no doubt (as they proved with a capella vocals on the show). But as Bird said, they have yet to gel as a group. I just hope Diddy doesn’t ruin their chances of being accepted as legit…

I like the song a lot. I’m one of 2 people in the world who didn’t watch Making the Band 4—I had my fill with the first two installments.

Collectively, they mesh better than Danity Kane. Alas, they’ll eventually go in the direction of the rest of Bad Boy’s artists and leave to sign with another record company.

I like this song and the group…to me the video isn’t bad…I hope they get a chance to shyne because they are really talented….

They need to stick with singing ONLY!! They cannot dance. And is it just me, or does Willie reminds you of Slim from 112 from the shots in this video?

I like Day 26. The video is too cute. They look extra excited and not as laid back as I would have like to see them.

i myself think the group is good. they just need a little fine tuning. but, they call can sing…and even danity kane stepped it up. they had a set along w/day 26 and the girls had it together. blended very well. but, i’m not sure with the state that the music industry is in that they will survive. i for one haven’t purchased any cd’s in awhile.
MAJAHINEVERYWAY

“liked” to see them. My bad!

Diddy would start the video off with his a$$, then again I’d probably be all up in my artists videos too. =) They really do have great voices, I hope their album does good.

I LOVE THESE GUYS, THE SHOW AND WILL COP THEIR ALBUM! THE DANCING MIGHT BE A LITTLE O/ THE TOP BUT THE SINGING IS GREAT!!!!!! thank u Diddy for discovering a great group!

They can most definitly sing.

Guys, it’s not that they can’t dance. For anyone who has waatched this show they KNOW that these guys can dance. This video appears to be just VERY low budget. It doesn’t even really show them dancing. It shows clips of less than one second of them dancing…it’s moving around too fast. When i saw them perform this on the show they did the same routine and they did it WELL. Don’t blame them…blame the video. To add to that Sandra, these guys can SING. Yes this video is cheesy with the “write me a track…Diddy” thing and you can tell they are amateurs, but give them some time. I don’t think they will dissappoint us…

i love this song and the beat….the video is a typical diddy video…would like to see a better video…these are young men not old dudes…and why wasn’t i surprise to see diddy in the video

I like them better than Danity Kane that’s for sure.

I will say for both groups they act very AFFECTED (like they are superstars instead of newbies).

What happened to Diddy’s golden touch? The music he “produces” now compared to the days of TOTAL, 112, Faith, Craig Mack. He woldnt’ have even looked at these folks.

what is it?

The video is wack…BUT I am feeling all of these guys except Brian. I don’t think he sings as well as the rest of them and his look is “R. Kelly is those videos with Sparkle”. If you’re gonna have a group of pretty boys, be consistent Puff. Dude is NOT pretty. Mike is chunky and looks waaaay better than this dude. Also, the dance moves are not cool. They look like New Edition knockoffs. They need a new choreographer ASAP.
Hotstuff

I really am not feeling this group…
I thought instead of Brian A they should’ve picked Brian H.
and instead of Robert they should’ve picked D’Angelo ( the one diddy made cut his hair earlier in the season)

They try too hard to be the lead singer and always end up bumping heads with one another.

Love Q, and Willie grew on me…Mike can also be dismissed b/c he just says “sweet” to me don’t know why…

They should’ve just left it as four members and that’s it

good beat but still dnt purchase S H I T associated with puffy, and danity kane 1st single is garbage and the video is wack azz hell.puffy is still doing the same thing he did when he came out in the 90’s.

willie and q look “sweet” as the poster mentioned above, lol to me. q and brain can be replaced. but i do think d’angleo shouldve made the band. and it is too many guys in the group.

Mike
Willie
D’Angelo
Robert

#20 i feel you but, they could never be NEW EDITION!
Sharonda

They talented I give them that, but the video and the song is nay to me.I heard the leak album and it wasn’t all that great.I want to like them, but I have a hard time believing people getting grouped together on TV without really knowing who they are and knowing their strengths and weaknesses.I don’t see chemistry in any of these fellas.And the reason why New Edition last because they had chemistry and grew up together excluding Johnny Gill.Seems like music is a joke now.Oh well maybe next round my opinion will change.
ChokLitFactory

I agree with Dakotab.
Back in the day, Bad Boy was the Shyt! In business school, my friend and I wanted to work for Diddy when we graduated.
What happened….Bad Boy became Diddy and their other artists suffered because of it…I mean, Cassie? Come on!
But hopefully Bad Boy is going through a renaissance. Good luck to the Boys and Dankity Kane (who I love!)

BOOOOOOOOOO Sandra BOOOOOOOOOO!!! You KNOW these boys can sang. And they are cool. Their voices are off the chiZain boyeee! Despite the video they’ve got true talent. Take a real look S.Rose. what is your idea of a real talent? we all have our opinions eh?
ms.peaches

Yeah Bad Boy was the ish back in the day when they had practically more artist than anyone(lol) seriously these boys have talent but I don’t think Diddy will do right by them thats why 112, Carl Thomas, Faith, & the rest of the gang left his ass!! & I just knew his Chucky Cheese looking ass had to be in the video, as if we don’t see him enough!! as far as the dance moves they should leave that to New Edition or either do videos that don’t have them dancing anymore Mike looked like he was thinking of a cheeseburger(lol) they are all cuties though especially Willie fine ass!!
brwnsugga4you

now that i’ve watched the video. it made me a little dizzy but other than that..it’s their first one. at least they can sing. 112 just had hot tracks…lol. still like them though…and well diddy is just diddy. i
luxe.li.

um i watched every season of MTB and the boys CANT DANCE, that was even evident on the show, Q had problems, Rob got called out for not being able to dance even though he claimed that is what he’s known for back in his hometown THE ONLY DUDE THAT COULD DANCE DURING MTB3 was CHRIS and he couldn’t sing to say his life….so I blame it on Diddy and the boys, EVERYONE ISNT DANCERS they cant dance, point blank. They shouldnt even need to dance, they should just be crooner’s and let it be…..

I still love them and I will be getting their album, but Imma keep it real.

big mike cannot sing. i still think q is adorable in a quirky kind of way. they need to learn how to perform as a group and not as five solo artist. brian needs to cut them cornrows off. the cornrows are strugglin’. unfortunately nobody is checkin’ for anyone that was on any of the making the band shows. maybe the teeny boppers. aubrey is annoying as hell. i think andrea is adorable. d woods is sexy but they usually have her dressing like a tomboy while the other ladies dress sexy. i was liking the other girls hair red but i guess after the makeover it was ok. puffy killed their spirit when he was telling them what was wrong with their looks and image. i don’t understand why people take puffys abuse.

@ NaturalFromHead2Toe

Are you serious? Mike can’t sing? MIKE? Are you sure you meant to say Mike? I don’t think you meant to say Mike.
brwnsugga4you

I am a die hard Day 26 fan. I LOVE this group. I especially adore Robert. He has VERY STRONG star power. I want this group to be a HUGE SUCCESS!!!! Needless to say, I will be purchasing their CD on Tuesday. Peoples lets support our young brothas. Let’s ALL help them achieve at least TRIPLE PLATINUM status.
