Brianna Taylor from MTV's Real World Hollywood will perform songs from her self-titled debut EP tonight at the Canal Room. The exotic dancer (sans g-string, clear high heels and stripper pole) will open for American Idol alum Blake Lewis, who is bringing his Audio Day Dream to NYC for the first time. We caught up with this saucy, outspoken rable rouser and asked important questions about her music, life on the show and which side she's on in Philly's cheese steak war.

LWMB: How do you look back on your experience on The Real World? Any regrets?

No regrets at all. It made me a stronger individual, and I'm glad I got to have the experience.

How "real" was the experience?

CRAZY!!! We're all nutcases!! It's 100% real. We all come from different backgrounds, so the conflict was expected.

Did the show affect your music at all?

I think it helped it simply because nobody expects a stripper to actually be able to sing, so viewers were blown away when they actually heard my voice!

Tell us how the songs on your EP came together.

I didn't write any of them. They were given to me, and I refuse to sing anything that I can't get into or can't relate to. All of the songs really show everything I was going through at that moment in my life, and I know everyone that listens to my music has been there.

While some people might've caught a few moments of you singing on the show, you're still a new commodity, so to speak. What can people expect from your upcoming NYC show?

Definitely a rockin' time!!!!

The next season of The Real World will take place in Brooklyn. Any advice for the cast?

Be yourself!! Don't sugar coat anything. Don't be afraid to speak your mind or cry and let it out.

Since you're from Philly we would be remiss if we didn't ask you: Geno's or Pat's?

GENO'S!!!! And Jim's...and Steve's...haha it's a hard question!!!!
