Celebrity Apprentice: Why I Selected Brian McKnight

Maybe someday he will sing for President Obama and the First Lady. If he times it right, maybe Oprah will be there too. Then young people might see a good example of dreams coming true in a world that at times seems hopeless.

He is very gifted!

And in the project tasks, seems like he is more to himself, but very sharp!

Look forward to his leadership roles.

He has a Great charity and great websites! We wish him well!

ZIPPY ZAP!!!!!!

I thought the "Celebrity Apprentice" start date was March 13th, but luckily found out 2 episodes have already been aired. I had to catch up, so I just finished watching. I had to bring up a few things about the episodes if that's ok :o)


1st Episode :

In the first episode , I think Andrew Dice Clay was very smart. Although, he did not bake the muffins, he made a good decision to try and have people hear beforehand and market what they were going to be doing. One thing i don't understand is, there was no footage of him being at Sirius radio. I believe Andrew was right when he mentioned that Scott Hamilton should be fired...proof being the result in the second episode. According to me, Hershel Walker was lucky because he did not step up to leadership role and bring order or organization to the team. Basically, everyone was on their own.

As to the muffin problem on both teams. When the girs had the chocolate muffins drop, I was thinking, they can still use it and turn it into something. I was thinking of cutting them into little chewy brownies that could still be sold. With some creativity, they found a way to use what many may have thought as garbage. The craziest result was it became the favorite. I even wanted one of those "CHEWY" muffins :o)
The men had a similar problem with the chocolate muffins, but instead of collapsing, they were bitter and sugarless. They tried to lightly brush them with syrup...it was a nice try, but not good enough :op I would have tried dipping each muffin in the syrup or hollowing the muffin and putting chocolate cream filling inside...does that sound tasty? :op


2nd Episode :

In the second episode, both teams had to create a comic character for zappos.com. At proposing time, The womans team had the right focus, but Claudia Jordan fowled up the lines and seemed unorganized. The mens team was off focus, but the script was clearly spoken.Even though Claudia made mistakes, the name of the character "Miz Z" was more focused to the company than the men's "EEE". Although Tom Green suggested many names, Scott Hamilton would not listen and stuck with "EEE".

If I were in the situation, I would have suggested "Zippy Zap". It's just really catchy!! Maybe if zappos.com is still looking for a character, they could try this one. Maybe a stickman wearing a cape with runners and his eyes are z's which blink. Something simple, yet noticeable.


"Get what u need from ZIP....bringing value in a ZAP"
"Just click and get what you want in the blink of an eye!!!"

All kinds of things that could work with that name...lol

ZIP also represents postal code for location or area...


Maybe Tony Hseih wouldn't mind taking a look at this company i used to work for...maybe they could work together...alot of work has been put into this company and they need an investor. The website is : www.wiseguide.ca , www.ultimateviewer.com

All the episodes have been intense so far and I can't wait to see the rest....

Have a blessed day,

Brian McKnight has always been a very talented, gifted and soulful songwriter and artist. I think he is an excellent fit for the Celebrity Apprentice because he conducts himself with a sense of class and style that gives the show more variety and character. There of course are many musicians who we all can most certainly admire and respect, but Brian McKnight’s soulful ballads are a must hear for your ears! It’s interesting to see him on the show in such a different capacity other than on stage wooing audiences. I’m sure that being in the entertainment business for as long as he has been has certainly helped him learn that it is just that, a business. I think it is and will be interesting to see how he employs his business and leadership skills and qualities throughout this season’s Celebrity Apprentice. Keep it up B and good luck!

He is a good singer. Will he make it?
