KANE...AND ABLE? Danity's have the glossy voices to match Welcome to the Dollhouse's ritzy production, but a vocal personality is harder to buy...

Say what you will about Diddy's manufactured Making the Band divas, there's no denying that their glossy voices complement their album's expensive production. But outside the confines of a hyperedited reality show — and the polished beats of, say, Nate ''Danja'' Hills — who are Danity Kane, really? As on their self-titled 2006 debut, the group continues to show us precious little in the way of actual personality or soul. On one song after another, they sing about sex with all the feeling of fresh-from-the-factory mannequins. Welcome to the Dollhouse, indeed. C
