Joy Behar: Welcome back to the View. Our next guest has been with World Wrestling Entertainment for almost four years heading towards her fifth year in March before Wrestlemania. She's the two-time Women's Champion, she starred in the movie "Undercover Cheerleader" which will be released on DVD on the 22nd of January, and she has a debut album called "Evolution of A Woman" that was released yesterday. Ladies and gentlemen, Delancey Scott.
Delancey comes out with wearing an orange and brown marble top, brown short, brown boots, and her hair curled. Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepard, Joy Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck greeted Delancey with a hug. As everyone sat down, the audience was still applauding.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Well, Delancey, welcome back to the show.
Delancey: Thank you very much.
Whoopi Goldberg: I gotta say, when I heard you were engaged to Bobby Lashley, I became insanely jealous of you. I mean, look at Bobby Lashley.
Delancey: I knew you were gonna say something like that.
Then they showed the picture of Delancey and Bobby appearing at the 2007 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Delancey is wearing her sparkling tan gown and her hair curled.
Sherri Shepard: Yeah, Delancey, that's a good-looking brother you got on your arm.
Delancey: Well, you're married but thank you very much.
Then the audience laughed.
Sherri Shepard: But how did you and Bobby meet?
Delancey: Well, it was about five years ago when Bobby first came to OVW, he was known as Blaster Lashley and I used to be afraid of this guy; but I had a crush on Bobby because he was somewhat different than I thought. I never made a move or said a word to him and I left OVW to sign with the WWE. I kept that as a secret until my birthday last year when I told Bobby all this and he was happy and that was actually the day he proposed to me.
Whoopi Goldberg: Was Bobby that bad?
Delancey: Whoopi, if you were with me back in the day, you would see how bad.
Then the audience laughed and applauded.
Joy Behar: Well, congratulations on your engagement and I'll sure we'll see Bobby back in the wrestling ring sometime this month. We're now going to talk about your movie career; you starred in the movie "Undercover Cheerleader" last year and that did very well. What was it like being in a movie as it's different from being inside in the wrestling ring?
Delancey: Well, in a movie, you got to get every line down, every scene down; it's a much wider place than in a wrestling ring. But in a wrestling ring, you have to work very hard with your body to get the moves down but you can get battered and bruised from time to time. I've been in wrestling for five years so it's different than being in a movie.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: But you were in different disguises in the movie. What did that feel like?
Delancey: It felt weird especially being under prosthetics. I only had one and it hurt my face and I had on an itchy mustache; but it was fun and I know people might ask me the question if I'm under a disguise when I'm out in public. Yeah, but I can't tell you.
Then the audience laughed.
Sherri Shepard: Well, the movie comes out on DVD on January 22nd and you have a singing career as well. Your album "Evolution of A Woman" came out yesterday and I hear your singing career started thanks to Donald Trump.
Delancey: Yeah, it was the night of Wrestlemania that Donald Trump had an after-party; he asked me to sing, and he sent a videotape to the record label, Columbia Records. Two weeks later, I was signed and here I am. Thanks, Donald.
Then the audience applauded.
Whoopi Goldberg: Well, on this album, you have seventeen tracks with three songs in Spanish and you have a duet with another WWE Diva, Nicole Mitchell.
Delancey: Yeah, I did a duet with Nicole on her first album and now she's got a duet with me on my first album. And with the three Spanish songs, I did a cover on one of them and wrote two more because of my heritage. Can't forget my Latin roots.
Joy Behar: Well, you're going to perform your first single "Who Do You Love?" on national TV. We'll be right back with Delancey Scott.
The audience applauded.

The audience cheered and applauded and the song started to play the song with Delancey, her backup dancers, Lydia and Cheyenne, and three male backup dancers.
Ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh
Oh, baby
Alright
Last night, I slept alone
I stayed at home
For the first time since you've been gone, baby
No friends to understand
To lend a helping hand
To ease the greatest pain I've ever known
How you walked away so easily
Still remains a mystery to me
Don't you remember that you promised me
Yes, you promised me that you'd never leave, boy
But you went away, babe
And it's such a shame
How could you turn your back on me
Ohhhh
If you really don't want me (If you don't want me)
If you really don't need me (If you don't need me)
If you really don't love me (Tell me)
Who do you love, boy?
If you really don't want me (If you don't want me)
If you really don't need me (If you don't need me)
If you really don't love me
Then who do you love?
I gave, gave everything
A man could ever need
I was there whenever you would call, baby
But somehow you're feeling strange
And you don't act the same
I guess you are not the man that I once knew at all
How you walked away so easily
Still remains a mystery to me
Don't you remember that you promised me
Yes, you promised me that you'd never leave, boy
Now the love has gone, babe
Tell me what went wrong
How could you leave me hanging on?
Oh, baby
If you really don't want me (If you don't want me)
If you really don't need me (Oh)
If you really don't love me (Tell me)
Then who do you love?
If you really don't want me (If you don't want me)
If you really don't need me (Oh, no)
If you really don't love me (Tell me
Who do you love?
I was once blind but baby, now I see (Now I see)
That I'm not the one who can feel your every need (Every need)
I have painted a picture, so clear, it's reality (Reality)
Now I know, yes I know
That you're not the one for me
Oh, baby
If you really don't want me
If you really don't need me (Oh, yeah)
If you really don't love me
Then who do you love?
If you really don't want me (If you don't want me)
If you really don't need me (If you don't need me)
If you really don't love me (Tell me)
Who do you love?
How could you walk away from me?
Baby, you promised that you'd never leave
Slept alone since you've been gone
The greatest pain I've ever known, oh
If you really don't want me (Oh, baby, oh, baby, oh, yeah)
If you really don't love me
Then who do you love?
If you really don't want me (Baby)
If you really don't need me (If you don't love me)
If you really don't love me (Tell me, tell me)
Then who do you love? (Who do you love, boy?)
If you really don't want me (Oh, baby)
If you really don't need me (If you don't need me)
If you really don't love me
Then who do you love?
The audience cheered and applauded and Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepard, Joy Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck gathered around Delancey and gave her a hug.
Sherri Shepard: That was amazing. You were incredible.
Delancey: Thank you and thanks for having me here.
Joy Behar: You're welcome and don't forget to watch Monday Night RAW on the USA Network at 9:00pm, pick up the DVD "Undercover Cheerleader" on January 22nd, and her debut album "Evolution of A Woman" is in stores now. Delancey Scott, everybody.
The audience applauded.
