“Band” Choreographer Done Wit Diddy
November 26th, 2007
“Making the Band” hotstepper Laurie Ann Gibson tells New York Magazine that she won’t work with Diddy again because of his inflated ego. If you recall, he fired her last season after an argument over some dance routines.
“The problem was definitely P. Diddy and working with his ego,” she explained. “It was really him that gave me trouble because he couldn’t really understand that at certain points [the process] was difficult and hostile. I mean, the girls were amazing and the boys were not the problem. They were hard workers, and the show was definitely edited at times. It’s debatable, but a lot of people know that’s what it takes as a dancer.”
As much as she might be right, I’m thinking Diddy’s ego is so big that he could care less.

YEAH HE COULDNT CARE LESS CAUSE RIGHT AFTER HE FIRED HER, SHE WAS REPLACED INSTANTLY, I LOVE ME SOME DIDDY BUT HE DOES HAVE A EGO PROBLEM, SHE’S NOT HURTING HIM ONE BIT AND WITH HER TALENT SURELY SHE CAN MOVE ON
I’m sure editng was invovled, but if you watched last season, it seemed like Laurie Ann had the big ego. Her boss (Diddy) gave her a specific task to complete, and she went and did her own thing, and that messed him up. So, it looked as though the fault was hers.
DIDDY DOES LIKE TO HAVE HIS WAY AND ANYTIME SOMEONE DOES NOT FOLLOWS HIS RULES, HE CATCHES A FIT LIKE A CHILD… HE SHOULD HAVE GAVE LAURIE HER SPACE. SHE KNOWS WHATS SHE IS DOING AND SHE IS CONFIDENT …UNFORTUNATELY DIDDY COULD NOT HANDLE SOME ONE WHO WAS NOT GOING TO BOW DOWN TO HIM..DON’T GET ME WRONG I LIKE DIDDY BUT HE’S NOT GOD.
I have watched the show and there is no cause for him to put people down, because He’s Making the Band. I just have to say, be careful who you step on going up, you may not have a net to catch you fall, my brotha…. God is in control of it all… if it wasn’t for HIM giving you the talent you wouldn’t be where you are today, God is the Author & the Finsher!! Just remember DIDDY, Nothing is life is promised. You do remember Pharoah God Harden his heart, then he lost it all!!!!
I watched the show too, and it was Laurie Ann that was the problem. She really didn’t do her part and I believe she caught the ego bug. When she left the show, things got better, and they caught on to the routine. I really do not care for Puffy all that much, but clearly he wasn’t the issue…..move on and God Bless….
They’re both highly talented people, visionary and at the top of their game so it’s not surprising they clashed. Diddy is definitely egotistical, but so is Laurie Ann. She knew what she was getting into, working for him. She should look at this as another great bullet point on her dance resume and move on.
Even though Diddy like things his way i never liked that girl she always seemed like she was the best and that they should be honored that they are working with her well she is good but i have seen better i mean there are teens that dance in front of my street and at skool for fun that dance better then her and other choreographers that i see on T.V but she also have to realize that it’s good to push a person but when they say it’s enough it’s enough
All I can say: there was quiet before the storm. It was obvious that there were problems but like any relationship parties think it will resolve itself. I don’t know what happened, but speaking for Laurie, I am a dancer and we seldom get paid the amounts it takes to rub us down and wrap the mental and physical abuses it takes to deliver choreography to someone outside of our own brain in one set. Then we always become the wiping board when things don’t get accomplished when really we should be questioning why the potential band mates did not seek her out! Hum…To take it a step further, for the sake of Puff, it seems something transpired between Laurie and him and she felt obliged to talk out of turn several times off and on camera. Now, don’t get me wrong, Laurie deserves her props for hard work, but so does Sean. He provided a platform for Laurie in such a way that a dancer/teacher/choreographying artist like me becomes upset because she could have opened the market. Now, dancer’s all over are once again pigeoned holed as tempermental primadonna divas, who search solely for perfection, possession of dance, where’s my driver, not realizing we are the grittest people on the planet. We practice in layers because our clothes are tattered and torn from years of rehearsal, practices, day before performances and sacrificing dance classes over the need for the lastest fashion, but quiet as it is kept dancers are the models, dancers and mode of art at it’s most graceful. I wish they could have squashed the squab, but ;life is a dream..I learned that
wow first off diddy really needs to grow up and get a life…he thinks he is god…personally…I think he is so played out…all of his bands that he makes only really last for a couple of years then crumble…he needs to be more humble…and thankful for wat he has.

Good for you girlfriend. I watched that show one time and I was so turned off by Diddy’s agressiveness and rudeness to people. He is one them under cover brothers, always shining on the outside but crooked ass hell on the inside. He must not have been taught to treat people like you want to be treated. But then again, money makes a person change..enough said.
I think Diddy head is toooo big myself, don`t get me wrong, I`m a fan but he seems to have a big ego trip. That is probaly why j-lo left him on the block when he got into all that trouble, remember when????????
GIRL U DID TO DO THAT
I never watched the show, but he’s about the most arrogant celebrity to date. His fame has went straight to his head, and his personality, straight to the gutter. Money’s not everything, and he almost got a reality check at his trial. Maybe “real life” would’ve woke his ass up. But the real question is, what happens to these people after his shows? If they’re lucky, they have one hit, but most are never heard from again. That just goes to show, his selfishness. If he pushed their careers, like he pushes his, maybe they could have some of the limelight too.
i think we all know,money may make you popular,but it can never give you character,nor can it give you integrity. money only allows the entertainer to get on a bigger stage (television) and show everyone what you really are,but as the fans we dont require our stars to grow up and show what life is really about.we dont hold them responsable for being rude to there own people on national television.when these stars get money we only see what they really are.but the sad part is they somehow have a short memory of trying to be a success, and struggling to succeed,and helping someone to be successful,real success to me is helping another to succeed,not being worse that any kkk to the’re own people.i think we expect some people to not like us,we can reconise that and thats life,but when will our own brothers and sisters start to love each other, were we arent part of the problem to our own people?
he thinks that he is all of that. but he is not. i think that he likes men too.
Girl just find you another job get over it. Go teach somebody else how to dance for God sake. It’s been how long now. Don’t try to bring it up cause Diddy coming out with another show and you want be on there. Good for you!!!
i thought it was soooooooooo fun-i
I’m not a big fan of Diddy,but Laurieann was tripping. When she came to rehearsal in fishnet stockings and high heels, I knew she was in heat. Keep dancing Laurieann, but the singing career must end now. You are too old. She was humble on the first show but when the boys came to town, she was ready to pounce on them and did not want to look stupid infront of them. Oh well when you are in heat you can lose your commonsense. Go on Laurie Ann, Just Only Keep Dancing.
