From The Rap Game, comes, The Pop Game....Timbaland will be the judge of the new cast/contestants...I call it a cast because it's easier to me.

Going to watch it on my DVR. List the cast down. And going to discuss the first episode. I really hope it's good like The Rap Game

The first episode was special. The kids sang in front of Timbo and his crew. I personally thing Ian, Grand, and Cravetay has this swag that is going on. The other two, not soo much. I have to say about Ashlund….just because there is a 40 million views, DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE FAMOUS OR WELL KNOWN. IT’S THE LIKES THAT COUNTS! I wished the social media looks at THAT instead of the views. I could see a video on YouTube, and would say its boring and close it midway. YouTube would catch that view, but does not mean most see the views unless its interesting or that there is a mega star that you really liked. Ashlund felt hyped too, but not in her singing. Her second challenge, clearly stated that she is just not ready to be this pop star.

About Madysyn Rose, she is okay, but not special. Ian and Grand was great in their challenges. Anyway, looking forward to next week episode!

Second Episode

The cast forgot the song to Justin Bieber song, 'Sorry' but the second challenge, some did decent! Maddie blew me away. Still don't know what is soo special of Ash. Tay has a huge ego problem. Ian, he just did not liked the song, that the employees chose. Which is a huge concern, cuz that's how you can't walk into a music business. Or maybe you can, but have to work 5 times the hard. Hmmm....

Third Week

*
It is very clear that Timbaland loves Cravetay! And Ian came back at top. And there was drama with one of the mother's.

Anyway, it looks like the audience was not here for Tuesday, so Lifetime moved the show to Friday's after The Rap Game that comes up at 10pm Eastern. I think this show might be in trouble.

4th Week

It was a image week. Cravetay cheated & gave the image crew a hard time. What she did not know, Timbaland does not like this. And it can hurt her chances to be on his label.

5th Week

The cast had to sing acoustically. I think in this episode, Ian stand out the most because he could do piano. He helped Madysyn out too. When it came to performance, which was helped by a superstar, JoJo, which I think is now irrelevant. Was hoping it was Britney Spears, but oh well....what I am trying to say and I already said it here, when Cravetay, performs, Timbaland eyes lights up! To me, he likes these types of newly fresh artists and wants to work with him. Apparently, Cravetay is what he may be looking for. I still think Ash, Grant and Mady, has a whole lot of work to do. And yes, there was drama with Mady's mom and Cravetay's mom. It was about what Cravetay said about Mady's ears. I believe it was no harm, so Mady's mother, should have not been stressing out and then confronting Cravetay's mother. I think all parents, should focus on their own kids, not others. There is too much of this going on with this show.

6th Week

This episode was all about, writing songs, dancing, & performing. There was tension among the adults. In the end, Ashlund won the diamond award! Cravetay was in question. It also looked like, Timbaland wanted to clarify something with her & her mother. Sure he loves this girl, but with that attitude, he won't sign her! I wonder if Aaliyah had the same problem like her????? NOPE!

The Pop Game finally returns after one week hiatus. I am a bit skeptical about this show because I think it may be the low ratings that no one caught on. I actually thought this show is different and unique, and not like The Rap Game. This is the Week 8, and yes, this show took a page from The Rap Game, and switch the mom managers and had Perez Hilton interview them. It was light hearted, but I wished there was more with these kids. One beauty thing is that Cravetay mother, actually apologize to Ian about what she had said to his father. That was the right thing to do and eased on the competition.

When it came to the interviews, Ashlund, had more interview experience than the others, and she got her Diamond Award that is given out each week. Yes, you can tell that she had experience and she has actually grown to be this unique person in this competition. Other than that, I always catch a glimpse of Timbaland when reading this cast. His eyes still lights up for Cravetay, but she has been a disappointment. Cravetay is pushy and seems like she knows it all. And that folks, will get you no record deal! Take a cure from Lindsay Lohan! Anyway, next week is the finale….I am hoping we see another season….

Prediction of This Season

Lets talk about this................I feel like its between Ian and Cravetay! Both has star quality about them! Ian can sing, do guitar and piano, and even write his own music! He is a very serious person when it comes to music! If he wins, its going to pay off very well for him .........Cravetay, she has this sass and knows what she wants! And she is bit of a diva and I can't help, but notice the spark in Timbaland's eyes about her. He is really digging her! If she wins, that's all because she is a artist! Nothing more!


Ashlund.....I see her growing, but she has to fully grow to catch attention of the crowd. Right now, I think teeny boppers, mostly females, loves her and will listen to her on YouTube. I don't think she will grow from there, however, if products wants to use her, she will make tons of money for the time being. Social media for young girls, are only limited less. Sorry to say that but its true!

Maddie....(can't remember her full name), she has a lot to improve, but I don't see a star quality in her!

Grant - I agree with last week....I see him in a boy band only....

I must have skipped on one episode....Anyway I saw the finale. I thought for one second, Ashlund got it all, but Timbaland was looking for something else. Thought Cravetay was going to get it, but was surprised! Ian won! And yes, he was the most talented person. I can hear him sing on the radio stations and he fits the type. He is in good hands! Don't disappoint, me, Ian!
