Entry #1
I am so lucky!! Here I am living in this big house with my new group recording an album. This is my dream come true. I still can't believe I'm here sometimes. It isn't always perfect, but the fact of the matter is, I am so blessed to be here and I thank God for all of this. These past few weeks have mostly been the six of us hanging out, going shopping and watching movies. We're waiting for some songs and choreography.
Speaking of songs and choreography, Donavan just wrote two songs and came up with some good moves for one of them. In a few days we'll be presenting it to the label in hopes that they'll consider it for the album. This presentation will also show how well we work together as a group. We have our disagreements, but the fact of the matter is we all come from different places and we're still getting to know each other. We always work our problems out anyway. I'm just happy to be here with such a talented group of people. I miss home a lot but I know I'm making my family proud, and that means a lot to me.
Entry #2
This week has definitely been quicker than some of the others. We started recording the song "The Greatest" with David Frank and Steve Kipner. We have been working on it for almost 3 days, and so far it sounds like it's going to be a good song for us. We've also been thinking of name suggestions for the group. One we really like is "Flipside." But we'll just have to wait and see if it clears. We're still working on the choreography for "He Said, She Said." It needs work right now, but I'm sure we'll all get it. In a couple of days Brad and Alex will be back and we'll start recording with them again. We're all pretty psyched about that.
Entry #3
This week was really something else. In the beginning of the week Moi was asked to leave the group. It was really sad for everyone. We tried to get them to reconsider, but they said he broke the rules and that was it. I just feel sad because I know he really wants this. He has the talent to make it anyway, though. I just pray he uses it. Other than that, we've been a lot busier this week. We've been at the studio recording almost every day. When we're at home, we've been practicing choreography.
I think that this whole week has really brought the group closer together. It seems like the more we go through, the better we get along. That's what Moi would want us to do.

Entry #4
This week we finished recording the song that Donavan , Alex and Brad wrote. It's called, "Respect Me." I'm so excited that it's going to be on the album, because I feel like maybe people will respect our group a little more for having some input on the album. We're all getting so excited now because the show starts tomorrow and we're all going to get to watch it. Then the next day we'll have our photo shoot.
Things are really picking up, and it's making us come together a lot more as a group. Now we just need a name!
Entry #5
Things are really happening now. We finally have a group name: Scene 23. We're all really excited about it. We were so stressed out over picking a name, and we're just so happy with it. We picked it ourselves and we all love it. We also did our first photo shoot the other day. At first I was really nervous and it felt kind of weird, but when I let all that go and became more comfortable, I started having fun. Everyone looked so good! Now we're just hoping that the pictures come out well. We finished the choreography for "He Said, She Said" and started learning a dance to another song. It's going to take some work, but if we all keep practicing, I think it's going to look really good.
That's it for now. Bye.
Entry #6
All week we've been doing choreography. We are so sore!! Every night we all just go home and get in the bath or the Jacuzzi. The good thing is that our moves are tight and it's going to be a great show. Other than choreography, it's World Series time and the Yankees are in! Hopefully they'll win.
Next week is going to be the video shoot. It's a good song and we're really excited about it.

Entry #7
This week has definitely been cool. First we had phone interviews with some magazines. There were five of them. The funny thing is that we didn't even know which magazine we were talking to half of the time. It went by so fast. Aside from that, we got to hear a master of our CD. We were all screaming. It was so good. We're definitely proud of it. Now we're getting ready for the video shoot. It's tomorrow! It feels like we had no time to prepare for it. But I'm sure it will be great.
Entry #8
We're still getting ready for the concert. It's only a few weeks away! We're working on choreography and vocals right now. Everyone is working hard to make sure it's a great show.
Entry #9
The concert is getting closer and rehearsals are getting a lot more intense. We have to make sure that every move looks clean and in sync. It's very nerve-wracking to think that it's coming up so soon. We did our first radio interview this week. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully, there will be many more. We're also really excited about tomorrow. It's finally the episode where we get revealed as the final group. We'll finally be allowed out of the house!
Right now, I'm really tired so I'm going to bed.
Entry #10
The concert is in three days! I'm so excited but I'm soooo nervous. There are a million things to worry about. Everything is moving so quickly, but I'm trying to remember not to let it just pass me by. Today, I'm going to see my family for the first time in four months. I can't wait. I know that when I see them, I'm going to cry. The only bad part is that the whole thing will be taped! Anyway, I've got to go to rehearsal.
