Devyn's singing audition in Manhattan sorta went south -- like, all the way to Jersey -- but MTV's producers gave her another shot to croon on camera when they invited her to sing a duet with Real World: Hollywood's Brianna at the closing of tonight's After Show. Check out the pipes on these ladies, then take our poll and tell us who you think has a better voice!

Remember that episode of Real World: Hollywood when Will told Bri that she needed to ditch the tongue ring in order to jump-start her singing career? Well, it turns out, he was wrong. Ever since she collaborated with Alex from The Calling, Brianna's music has been on the up and up. We saw her light up the stage at Canal Room last month, and now the reality star-turned-chart topper has gone and scored herself a top twenty iTunes hit. (Tongue ring and all).

Anyways, check out the video to "Summertime" here -- and if the track sounds familiar, that's probably cause you already saw her laying it down on this season's Real World.

XX was quite the season. While we're all accustomed to seeing our fair share of Real World boozing and hooking up, I don't think anyone was prepared for the debauchery that ensued at the RW: Hollywood house this time around. Let us reflect:

Intervention... check.
Lying, cheating, fake crying... check.
Coed bar brawl... check.
Secret sharing of female "associates"... check.
Orgy... check.
And so much more!

So what could possibly follow up an experience like that? I reached out to all the roommates to see what they've been up to lately. While three of them totally ignored me, the rest -- Nick, Brittini, Will, Kim, Joey and Brianna -- haven't gotten too big for their britches. Check in with them below!

WILL

I'm now back in Los Angeles, and I've got a lot going on in terms of my music career. RW failed to show that I'm a DJ, so I've also been traveling around North America doing that. I picked up a songwriting publishing deal, am selling tracks to indies like crack, and am producing for a couple of artists. It pays my bills.

Janelle and I broke up six hours after the cameras stopped rolling. Can we all assume why? Ive dated other lady Real Worlders since and let me tell you... MTV breeds some pretentious divas, only hungry for camera time. Wow.

I still speak with Brianna, Nick, Dave, and Joey. Also, James Grace from the IO. And when I'm in Chicago, I always break bread with Charna. Andy Dick drunk dialed me once when I was in Mexico. I hooked up with that Laguna Beach girl who wouldn't sign to be on camera. We still talk. And my production team still does biz with all the musicians you did and didn't see during the season.

Final thoughts on the Real World experience? After being the guy in the background all my life, I became a leader in the house. That was the best thing I got out of it. Regrets? I shouldn't have pleaded the 5th when directors tried to interview me about my relationship with Sarah in the beginning. And maybe I should have defended Greg when he got fired because it wasn't even a job. I feel like the editing of these storylines left viewers misinformed and a little confused.

Next up for me... I have a remix album for fans at BounceCouncil.com and a collaboration album coming later this summer. Plus, I have an MTV spin-off in the works where a series of skips, skanks, and skallywags live in a house and compete for a shot as My Kindergarten Crush!

Hit me up anytime at Myspace.com/BounceCouncil.

Hear from KIM, NICK, BRITTINI, JOEY, and BRIANNA... after the jump!

How do you end a season that had everything from group sex to fake tears to life-and-death struggles with alcohol? Apparently, with goodbye hugs, the return of an old friend and, of course, a good old-fashioned street-fight.

And this finale was a whole lot more than tearful farewells and gratuitous close-ups of the housemates' empty rooms. Kim was forced to reevaluate her lifelong dream of becoming an entertainment reporter, Bri was forced to start the painful process of letting go and Dave was forced to borrow the girls' cosmetics bag to cover up his big ol' shiner.

But what did you guys think of the finale? Were you sad to see the Real Worlders go? Which of the roomies learned the most/least about themselves over the course of the season?

On last night’s episode of Real World: Hollywood, the roomies somehow made it all the way to Cancun and back — and between all the girl-on-girl fighting, the cheating, and the “I Miss Janelle” orgy, everyone found time to weigh in with their two cents. Now presenting...the second edition of Quotastic RW Moments.

Next up: Kim reveals her lifelong dream, everyone reacts to the foursome. and Will reveals the secret behind his free-flowing tears.

"Today, we are going to be swimming with dolphins. This is something I have wanted to do since I came out of my mother's womb." --Kim

"If I never ever hear you speak Spanish ever again, it'll be too soon." -- Bri to Dave.

"Will is trying to cover up his hurt with a very horrible, disgusting orgy." --Kim

When I met up with Real World's Brianna Taylor before her Canal Room acoustic performance last week, there were a few obvious changes in her physical appearance. First, her hair is now stick straight -- and fire-engine red! Secondly, homegirl was chillin' in baggy jeans and a regular ole black tee -- quite a long way from the revealing Hollywood club attire she's become so well known for sporting. Speaking of which, Brianna's got a question: What's the deal with rippin' on her style? "I don't dress like a hooch all the time," she says.  Watch the video to find out why Brianna thinks everyone should just butt out of her fashion choices.

On last night's Real World: Hollywood, Brianna got a "Calling" from musician Alex Band that made her exclaim to the roommates, "Guess what? I'm gonna be famous! It's happening!" And guess what? Brianna came that much closer to attaining her dream at Tuesday night's Canal Room in NYC, where she opened up with an acoustic set for American Idol runner-up, Blake Lewis.

Before she took to the stage, Bri gave a special shout to all you viewers who've been supporting her since the show premiered. See her get personal in the video clip below, then watch some of her performance, after the jump!

Can’t get enough of The Real World? Neither can we! Which is why I’ve decided to sift through the Real World Dailies each afternoon to make sure you’re getting your fill of all the roomies. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)

You can accuse Bri of many things (Ed: Hooking up with skeezy guys and wearing the same part of hot-pant shorts in every episode come to mind!) but forgetting where she came from definitely isn't one of them. In this raw display of emotion, Brianna sheds a few tears and gets personal. Turns out, she did get it from her mama! Also: turns out crying doesn't always equal sadness. Who knew??
