Making the Band 4 Winners: Robert, Willie, Qwanell, Brian, Michael are In; Donnie Goes Solo; Diddy Profits
[Update: "Making the Band 4 (Season 2): Battle of the Sexes" started on January 28th...check it out! And check out the guy group, Day26!]
I have to admit: P. Diddy knows how to make $money$. I watched a rerun of MTV's Making of the Band 4 season finale today, and came to that exact conclusion as I watched the Bad Boy Records band machine open for business.
Unsigned bands, take note -- all you need is your own elimination reality show, and you'll be GOLDEN.
For those unfamiliar: 58 male soul singers auditioning to be the next product of Diddy's 'making the band' band factory were eventually narrowed to 10 via elimination (Donnie, Robert, Willie, Qwanell, Brian A, Michael, DeAngelo, Jeremy, Brian H, Dyshon). The audience was then asked to vote for their favorite contestants on the show's MTV site, after which the 4 band members would be announced at a live show.
Here's the money-making kicker: Diddy created a 5-member band (Robert, Willie, Qwanell, Brian A, Michael, AND he signed the contestant with the most votes, Donnie, to be a solo artist. So now, all the sucker fans rushing out to buy music from the reality show will be buying 2 CDs, one by the new group, and one by Donnie himself. He also announced a Making the Band Tour that'll include Donnie, his girl group Danity Kane, and the new guy group. Oy vey....toooo much P. Diddy "reality" in one sitting...
For anyone who still hasn't had their fill of Puff the Magic DJ, here're some links:
- Making the Band 4 Episode Guide - A Wikipedia play-by-play guide. Someone has too much time on their hands... (I suppose that includes me)
- MTB4 MySpace site - Make the show your friend, hooray... Too bad there isn't a LinkedIn profile for the show.
- Making the Band 4 Audition site - Um, sorry, it's a little late to be sending in MTB4 audition tapes...
- Donnie's MySpace page - There's already music here...quoi?
- Making the Band 4 (Season 2): Battle of the Sexes - Season 2, baby...
- Day26 - Day 26's un-Official Site
Ok, enough...can I stoop any lower? Maybe I'll write about "Rock of Love" next...

Posted by: debora | February 20, 2008 01:19 PM
I think that the band should have been the following: Brian H, Brian A, Robert, Mike, Donnie, De Angelo.....now that would have been a great group! However, all of them did an awesome job on the Exclusive love ballard on the finale show. The song will not sound good on a CD without De Angelo (who should have made the band) because he totally rocked the first portion of Exclusive. Also, Brain H rocked the middle part of the song so it won't sound good to me if they don't cut that track with all ten making the band 4 members.
