Diddy Makes a Band, Plus One

August 27th, 2007

Diddy’s got another band in his clutches. Robert, Brian A., Willie, Qwanell, and now, Little Mike are the chosen ones. Can we have a moment of prayer for these guys? (Silence)

Lawd, if it’s in your will, please don’t let Diddy ruin the singing careers of five talented brothers. Mike busted his rump to slim down for this! And, Lawd? We know there are now pre-made burial plots for the music mogul’s ”Making the Band” groups. (R.I.P Da Band). We just ask that you show them favor and allow them to be the first to survive and succeed, you know, past a few hit singles. Save them from the graveyard of Diddy’s failures, please! Amen.

OK, just curious: How in blue blazes did Donnie, the dude with the weakest vocals, snag a solo deal?

Who watched the finale? Who’s happy with the final five? And who could care less?

I am absolutely happy with the group members, b/c they were my top five (so I’m glad he changed it to five). Last night was awesome. These boys sung the hell out of the ballad version of “Exclusive” . It was beautiful. I just want to say congratulations to all the fellas and for all those that couldn’t make the group, especially Deangelo ( he has a great spirit about him and beautiful voice). It’s unfortunate he couldn’t make the group too. I also think Puff did the right thing in making Donnie a solo artist. It was a smart move. He has a lot of drive and I too would capitalize on his potential star power with these teenagers (look at Justin Timberlake). I just pray that when it’s time for these boys album to drop, Puff doesn’t drop a new as well like he did Danity Kane. But Danity Kane doesn’t have 1/2 the talent as these boys and this is coming from a woman….OMG, I hope he rights all his wrongs with these boys.

I think the band is wack he chose Big mike over Dangelo come on.

PhillyChick said on August 27th, 2007

It’s all marketing. Donnie’s cute and he can hold a note. Maybe not the tightest singer of all the guys, but he’ll do well in a studio. PLENTY of people have made it on less.

Trane said on August 27th, 2007

This is by far the most talented crop of singers that diddy has ever assembled on “Makeing The Band”. Diddy was entirely too worried about image when he made the cuts for the chick band. These guys can blow, most of all Big Mike. If he serves as the lead vocalist the band will go far. Donnie is CLEARLY a P.R. stunt. He’s not a terrible singer but he is nothing special. However, I admire his courage. He put himself out their and now he has a contract with Bad Boy. Can You say AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?

Nyla said on August 27th, 2007

I am mad as hell. Are you serious? The group that he chose was alright but I do not think the band will last. Deangelo, Robert, Brian A, and Qwanell and maybe Mike. That should have been the group. Do you even know how well they would do? These are the most talented men in the competition. I cannot believe this. Don’t get me wrong the guys that Diddy, P. Diddy, or whatever people are calling him these days chose was decent, but he could have done better. And don’t let me get started with Donnie. That boy is cute and I am sure he has a lot of fans but if Diddy was going to give him a solo deal, Diddy should have given the rest of the guys who didn’t make it a solo deal as well because they are just as good or even better.

kennel said on August 27th, 2007

the band is great they were all talented young men and they will do well good luck to them all and aslo to Donnie on his sole deal

Bri said on August 27th, 2007

I think the guys Diddy chose for the band were the absolute best. All of them can blow and when they sang Exclusive last nite on the finale, I got chills from it. As far as Donnie goes, well…he’s okay. He was picked as the fan favorite on the website which is why he got a solo deal. Donnie didn’t fit the group but why would Diddy pass him up knowing he was popular amongst the ladies? The answer to that is: solo deal. It makes perfect sense to me and I ain’t mad at him. Now I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a huge Diddy fan but I think he’s smart and knows what he’s doing. I think these guys are really determined and hopefully they won’t give Diddy the opportunity to put them on the back burner and eventually flicker out. The guys who didn’t make it should be extremely proud of themselves that they made it to the top 10. That shows that they’re one of the best.

Destined said on August 27th, 2007

I think the final band was chosen smart. I definitely agree that they are far more talented than the girls and will go further if Diddy do right by them and utilize their talents and strengths. As for Donnie, definitely a business move. He is a pretty white boy who can sing to an extent and play the piano. Diddy is definitely trying to broaden Bad Boy and he sees Donnie will be the perfect start. I just wish them the best and pray for longevity in their careers.

cwalkwitit said on August 27th, 2007

I’m sorry, but the NEW BAND is going to be wack as hell! I would have picked Brian H. (Not dat down-low brotha Brian A), Big Mike, Willie, and D’Angelo for the group. Robert has no talent and Qwanell (Are you serious?)Let’s hope Big Mike and Willie can carry the group or else it spells the normal Making Da Band trouble that everyone has become accustomed to.

koolB said on August 27th, 2007

The band is ok, I would have chosen a couple of others though. As for Donnie as a solo artist, well anyone who’s a Diddy fan knows he is competitive, so with Justin Timberlake tearing things up I feel he wants to put his own version out there and see what happens. Donnie is no JT; however he does have potential and my develop into a decent artist.

lovestruck said on August 27th, 2007

i think diddy made the best decision he could have. although i don’t know if i would have given donnie a solo deal, the group looks like they’ll do way better than danity kane. they got sexy will with those eyes (mmph! oh lawdy lawdy!) mike got the charm, charisma and he CAN sing, brian got the swag, robert got mmmaaaaddd vocals and qwanell can sing too. so overall i think he made a good choice, plus we didn’t have to wait 2 seasons to see who he picked. i hope the band does really well.

Tiffany Wright said on August 27th, 2007

I recoded it so that I could see it for myself, so please don’t mess it up for me.

Schmaal said on August 27th, 2007

I think that Diddy made the Best decision. Mike is my favorite, with his Sexy Self!!!!!

terriona said on August 27th, 2007

The band is ok but i think DeAngelo should of gotten chossen instead of Qwanell. P. Diddy given Donnie a solo deal was a mistake not to get me wrong Donnie can sing but if he was going to give anyone a solo deal it should of been DeAngelo.

missy said on August 27th, 2007

I was happy to see that Robert, Brian A., Willie, Qwanell, and Little Mike to make the band.. but the only that bother me was that he gave donnie a solo deal in way i feel he can’t see..ne-ways i wish them all the best of luck

Sheree said on August 27th, 2007

I THINK THAT P. DIDDY MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. I’M WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN I HEARD QWANELL NAME I LIKE HIM HE SMOOTH EVEN THOUGH HE GOT A PLAYFUL SIDE I LIKE HIM. OH AND THE SOLO DEAL WITH DONNIE WAS COOL, THEY ALL DID GOOD BUT DIDDY FELT THAT WAS WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO WITH DNNIE SO YOU CAN’T KNOCK HIM…….

Janice from Minnesota said on August 27th, 2007

To the author of this blog, you are out of line for this one!!!
I am more than thrilled with the new band, Diddy’s decision was right on it. It would have been a big mistake if he hadn’t added Donnie into the group or given him a solo. This band by far is the best ever put together, they were all dedicated hardworkers and deserved to make the band. We all know how hard it is to get into the music business and about the competition within the business. So just the fact that Diddy is able to get them into the business is more than enough, whether or not they are one hit wonders. It’s unfortunate that previous groups didn’t make it to the top, but hopefully this group will.
I love EXCLUSIVE, I can’t wait for their cd to get out so I can listen to that song. To the guys who didn’t make it, keep pursuing your dreams and best wishes to you all!
Trane,
Affirmative Action??? Are you serious??? That was strictly a business move on the part of Diddy and the boy can sing you know. He deserved it just the same as anyone of the guys. Wait ’til he he starts topping the charts.

Peaches said on August 27th, 2007

DeAngelo should have made the band
i think the group diddy pic was ok. i personally wouldnt have picked Brian A over DeAngelo but DeAngelo gonna get a record deal anyways
But Robert wow that boy dont need no group him and mike could be big artist anyway and damn “Q” SO SEXY

qiana moore said on August 27th, 2007

i am so mad that brian h. did not make the group, brian a. should not have. i kind of had a feeling that deangelo would not make the group, he can sing, but image was it probably wouldn’t work, i could see him doing solo work. qwanell really stepped his game up last night!

Felicia said on August 27th, 2007

well I like tha five htat u picked up I thought Julius could have made a lil farther but its all good tho…..I think DeAngelo could have made it tho but I was really happy w/tha five that u chosen.

LaTasha said on August 27th, 2007

I think he did a great job with pickin the members!!I think they all have talent and they sung very well!!!I think the fact that he gave Donnie a solo deal was a great idea,I believe he did that because he has that solo white guy (Justin Timberlake)look that all races are attracted too,his voice isn’t the best but it could improve and its decent,and most opf all he has lots of drive sooo, I think he will do fine!!Danity Kane went platinum so I dont see y they wont,and y is BET bashin Diddy as far as his choices in artists he had some of the greatest artists,biggy,faith,lil kim,112,etc…They only 1’s that he made a mistake on was Da Band,but honestly they weren’t that talented or attractive and just didnt have that star look!!!But 1 mistake dont mean nuthin cause after them he came wit Danity Kane and they sold ALOT(Platinum)for their FIRST album,thats GREAT!!!All in all I think he made a good decision. He couldn’t pick they all but they made it far!!!

shad892002 said on August 27th, 2007

i’m happy with the band and i think that they will make it big but i was just hoping that deangelo would make the band. and i guess donnie going solo was a good thing but i would rather deangelo have a deal. that boy can blow! and q is sooooooo sexy, i’m glad he made it

Keyandra said on August 27th, 2007

thanks for picking big and luttle Mick

Regina White said on August 27th, 2007

I think Diddy did a very good job. He knows the business and he knows talent. He tried with the Da Band but the wasn’t ready, but Danty kane did very well. I feel this new group of guys will make it big. I’m also happy for Donnie.

DL said on August 27th, 2007

I okay wit the group but donnie isnt the next Robin Thicke, nor Justin Timberlake

Cynthia said on August 27th, 2007

I really enjoyed all members of Making the Band 4. I wish P. Diddy could have picked all the guys and for the first time and made it a larger band. I think maybe Brian H should have been picked over Brian A, because his voice seemed to be more stronger and in tune. I wish all the guys that didn’t make it the best and just keep striving for your dream and never give up hope, because from here things will only go UP. So be proud of yourselves for making it this far and each of you are so very talented. God Bless

diamondxtc said on August 27th, 2007

this is my thoughts robert and mike shold have got solo deals the group should have been willie deangelo, brian h and dyshon and Q brian a he seems a little $~*?% and so does Q to me donnie why was he still in the house dan sholud have stayed he has the better voice diddy talkin about brian a has swagger? maybe that’s some dl swagger i missed.

Anitra said on August 27th, 2007

Yea man satz some crazy stuff. but i’m happy with the group that he picked espicaly cuz WILLIE is so damn fine, and how is diddy goin ta give a solo to that white boy donnie. He ain’t no Justin Timberlake and can’t no white boy do it better then him. but GOOD LUCK DONNIE. and CONGRATS DIDDY you bout ta make hell-of money with your new group.

XOXO said on August 27th, 2007

ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I LIKE THE FAB FIVE. I THOUGHT DEANGELO WOULD HAVE MADE IT, BUT GUESS NOT.I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN THEY SAID MY BABIES Q’S AND WILLIE NAMES.ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT MY BABIES MADE IT. AS FOR DONNIE I DO THINK HE WILL COME OUT WITH A ONE SINGLE…HE’S NOT A JT (JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE)

caprice23 said on August 27th, 2007

well im happy for the new group especialy lil mike big or small you still sexy baby but for real how did donnie get the solo deal if it would of been offered to someone it should of been robert for real but i hope this band has a great career with bad boys shout out to you Diddy you made history again

teetee said on August 27th, 2007

I’m happy wit the group. But I think that brian h should have made it he was really good. I wish them the best of luck and i will be gettin that cd when it comes out. Im glad Q made it he’s ssooo sexy and very talented.

good guy said on August 27th, 2007

Diddy picked the right people for the job. These guys can blow. I was hoping DeAngelo would have made it because he can blow. either way you’re looking at a triple platinum group….

satoria said on August 27th, 2007

I cried when he didnt choose Brian H.He had a amazing voice and i loved his swagger. But as far as the band go I think Diddy made some good moves, these brothers can sing there asses off, very humble, and most of all hungry.Aslong as they dont have the usual Making the band corny ass songs they will do just fine.DIddy should of gave DeAnglo a solo deal, i loved his voice and his style. As far as Donnie goes, Diddy just trying to make some money off this kid of course he wasnt the most talented but when money is involved whats talent got to do with it?

Britanie said on August 27th, 2007

Hey Diddy this season was the best out of all the Making The Bands.But Im really mad because you picked Brian.A over Jermey.What were you thinking Brian over Jermey come on now Diddy.But Jermey should have been picked instead of Brian he could sing wwwaaaayyyy better then him.

I Can Believe It said on August 27th, 2007

I can believe Donnie got a solo career. Let’s keep in mind that Diddy is about the dollar. And while he may not have the strongest voice, he has a crossover sound. Not to mention, he’ll bring in those sales from White America, and I’m sure they’ll be some brothas and sistas who will support him as well.

YVONNE said on August 27th, 2007

I think diddy did a great job on picking the group and I’m so happy that Donnie got a deal because him and big mike was the only reason I watched the show.

danielle said on August 27th, 2007

The only 2 people who surprised me were Q. and Big Mike. I’m not saying they were horrible. Their singing is great. It just surprised me. I am really happy with the other three choices though. Robert, Willie, and Brian A. They were my top 3 so I’m glad they made it. I thought Donnie would fit in somewhere. The solo thing just surprised me. But I’m happy for Donnie. I don’t care that he’s white. He got the most votes and he improved so in a way, he kind of deserved it. So I would say I’m satisfied with how things went down.

Trane said on August 27th, 2007

Janice! Janice! Janice! You and I both know that DEANGELO along with 15 other contestants deserved the solo contract more than the “GREAT WHITE HOPE”. Diddy is clearly sharpening his political chops. His decision to give Donnie the contract was what you would call a uhhhhhhhh POPULAR MOVE. He is a business man. I’m not mad at him, it was a smart move. DIVERSIFY!!!

Antoine said on August 27th, 2007

I feel that the group that Diddy chose is DA BOMB!!!!! If I could make a replacement, I select Brian h. over Brian a. Overall though I feel that this group will be BIG. Hats off to Donnie. I think he has the swagger to make it. His appeal will be universal. You Go Diddy!

Dink said on August 27th, 2007

I’m not hatting on nobody but I seriously dont think
Robert should have made it. And if anyone should have got a solo It should have been Little-Big MIKE cuz he got the best voice I think. But overall he picked a great Band I guess.

Diddy I still lo9ve you but i think you let the wrong peole go!!!!

Much luck to the Making The Band (4)!!!

Nessa hol gt$4sho said on August 27th, 2007

I think it’s great that Diddy picked 5 of them.And then on top of that he singed donnie. So he saw potiental in many of them. When he picked big Mike that was great because that man lost all that weight for Diddy.At first I thought that he forgot Donnie, but then he said he would make him a solo artist. I think he’s like the next Justin Temberlake or somethin. But they went through all that and they made it to the band.

ROBERTA said on August 27th, 2007

I THINK DIDDY MADE THE BEST CHOICE HE COULD. WE ALL SAW HE HAD A VISION THAT IS WHY HE KEPT MOVING THEM BACK AND FORTH BEFORE HE MADE THE DECISION. I AM NOT GONNA LIE LIKE MOST OF YOU IT GETS A LITTLE HARD TO TRUST DIDDY WITH ARTISTS THAT HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL BECAUSE DIDDY IS TOO MUCH OF A BUSINESS MAN. HOWEVER IN THIS CASE I THINK HE MADE A GUT DECISION EXCEPT IN DONNIE CASE THAT WAS STRICTLY BUSINESS. I REALLY HOPE THIS TIME THAT DIDDY DECIDES TO DO HIS BEST WITH HIS ARTISTS INSTEAD OF JUST BUSINESS.

Storm said on August 27th, 2007

I dont care who he picked …all I know is that he picked my future husband Mike *KISSES*

sandy said on August 27th, 2007

the new band is hott!! i think e made the right choice!!…. and big mike did deserve it loosing all that weight

christina said on August 27th, 2007

I think diddy made a great decision in making the band.Robert,Qwanell.Willie,Brian A,and Big Mike I think will do really good they are good together and they look good together.All these damn haters who hatin on the band that diddy picked need to shut the $$~@ up they just mad they aint in a damn band.I also think diddy made a good choice in giving donnie a deal on bad boy records cuz donnie can sing.I was so happy when Big Mike,well lil Mike’s name was called cuz he ma favorite one and he should be the lead in the group cuz he got the best voice but the rest of the guys can sing.The guys i think will do good because they got a lot more potential then the rest of the bands he made or tried to make.As for Brian H. he should really pursue singing cuz he can sing and I love him too.Diddy I love the band that you chose.Good luck guys,oh and hopefully Danity Kane will do something.I love the new band and they will always have me as their fan,I love all Ya’ll,especially Mike.Good luck to donnie too I think u can make it as a wonderful solo artist,I love u too but Mike u ma favorite.Good luck making the band 4, oh and willie yo body is soo damn sexy.Haters just stop cuz Ya’ll wastin Ya’ll time.

Trane said on August 27th, 2007

Nessa! Nessa! Nessa! Do you really think that donnie “might be the next Justin Timberlake or something”?!?!? God is all tapped out of MIRACLES for that cat! Truth be told, Big Mike would have ran through “American Idol”. He is by far the most talented of the five that Diddy picked.

earstina said on August 27th, 2007

i think that diddy should be commended for the oppotunity that he gave those fellas. he didnt have to open up his fabulous house for them im sure it wasnt just what we saw on tv im i know it was alot of behind the scene action that we didnt see. what other artist that are as LARGE as diddy do you see making it happen for the up and coming generation? no matter what you think about diddy and his big headedness i feel that he should be respected for what he has done, which is tightening up the game and making it better.

whitney said on August 27th, 2007

why did diddy not put donnie in the group? that sucks because i liked donnie. But it is great ’cause he got his solo career. yay!!!!!!

earstina said on August 27th, 2007

if i could talk to the fellas of the band i would give every last one of them a hug and tell them congradulations because if i were in there shoes i know that i couldnt have done it. the only man that would have given me orders like that would be GOD and my father (james) diddy did expect alot from them but they gave it there all and they pulled togerther and they did it. KEEP YA HEAD UP FELLAS. BIG MIKE YOU REALLY DID THE DAMN THANG. im a big girl and i know how hard it is so keep up the good work and keep going forward. LOVE YA

Young K' said on August 27th, 2007

Hey on the real, the boys was alrite the justin wannabe could have stayed home but hey when you got money you can do what you feel. To be honest Diddy needs to stop making new bands and bring back the old ones. LOX

Destiny said on August 27th, 2007

I am so disappointed. I have watched the entirely season over and over and was more excited about the finale yesterday than I have been about anything in a long time. I am disappointed only because some of the most talented men were sent packing while not as talented or not talented at all men get to shine. I almost ecpected this though. Although Diddy is a multi-millionaire, he doesn’t always make the best decisions in picking groups (Danity Kane) so I knew some of the best singers wouldn’t get the props they deserved. My only hope is that Mike, Brian, and Wille can carry this group or get the good enough sense to use the group, get famous, and then go solo. Diddy will ruin everything for them. I’m not even gonna touch the Donnie situation. Diddy is just trying to sell records obviously, and Donnie is appealing to white girls and teeni-boppers. Lets just hope the albums half way decent and then I pray that people like Deangelo and Brian H get deals of their own with a better label. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I’ll hear them on the radio soon.

Michelle said on August 27th, 2007

I like the band that diddy chose. I personally wished that they all could of gotten some kind of deal out of all of this. But for the ones who didn’t get anything they time will come, them not getting pick just means that this is not what god had in store for them. As for Donnie, I love donnie, I thought that maybe he was going to make the band, and maybe Dyshon, Brian H. or my baby Deangelo would get a solo deal. However it was diddy’s choice, and diddy knows what he wants.

Shelz said on August 27th, 2007

I had a stong feeling there was going to be five people making the band. I wanted Willie, Robert, Que,DeAngelo, [Brian A or Donnie]. I didnt think Big Mike was band material. DeAngelo sure was though he had much swag and class and he was one of the best when they performed for New Edition. SO WHY IN DA WORLD DEY AINT CHOOSE HIM. And giving Donnie a chance too, what was up with that. They did that because he was white. Hopefully they can be one successful group that has come out of this series because they have lots of potential. Way more then Danity Kane.
But ay thats da gotcha gotcha

Nyashia B.k.a B5LilSmurf6890 said on August 27th, 2007

Well I For One Am Happy At The Fact That Diddy Did Pick Big Mike,Brian A And Will But Diddy Letting DeAngelo Go Was A Huge Mistake.I Love Diddy And All But I Kinda Got Lost In The Beginning When He Let Dyshon Go Only Letting Him Know That He Be Better Off As A Solo Artist,But Then Later In The End To Give Donnie The Solo Deal Was Bananas.Not To Say That I Disagree Wit Giving Donnie The Solo Deal I’m All For It Cuz I Like Donnie But To Give Him Da Solo Deal When Earlier In The Show Suggesting To Dyshon He Would Be Better Off Solo,It Just Didn’t Seem Right To Me.But All I Know Is My Boy DeAngelo Is Gonna Go Far Cuz That Boy Got Evrything And More Needed To Get A Deal.Jeremy Sounds Good He Just Needed A Little More Work(Can U Blame Him,He Wasn’t There That Long).But As Far As The Band That He Picked Im Looking Forward To Them And Seeing Them Next Year On The 2nd Season Of Making The Band.I Know For A Fact That They Are Gonna Go Farther Than Danity Kane,And I Also Know That Donnie Is Gonna Go Far Too And To All Them People Hatin On Donnie Realize Even Though He May Not Be The Next J.T Or Robin Thicke,Donnie Is His Own Man With His Own Tone And If He Doesn’t Live Up To The Singing Factors That Both J.T And Robin Have Set Then Oh Well! Donnie Obviously Got What Diddy Was Lookin For Cuz Diddy Gave Him A Deal.(But Diddy Should Have Also Given A Deal To DeAngelo)But That’s My Opinion.

Angel said on August 27th, 2007

This was the best season of making the band but i thought that he should put donnie in the group and gave CARLOS THE SOLO THING that would have been better OR just PUT CARLOS IN THE GROUP INSTEAD OF BRIAN A but who cares it was his chose but i still wish all the luck to all

L-Baby90 said on August 27th, 2007

i think donnie should have just been up in the group instead of Q….i could have done wit out…cuz for some reason i dont think that he will so well in the long run solo…but diddy just wants his money now…so thats what it is…but im happy wit the group and how it is and i wish all those guys luck….

and willie….i love you

Storie said on August 27th, 2007

I caught up with the show by watching the marathon on yesterday. I really think that this new band will do very well. I knew Robert (repin’ my city, the D) and Mike would make it based on the feedback I saw from Diddy and Mike Bivins during the earlier episodes.

I am also VERY happy for Donnie and his solo deal. I am a 32 year old black woman, and I actually dug the white boy. Goes to show that you don’t have to be a “white teenybopper” to enjoy him. I will say that I felt the other white boy (Dan) had better vocals than Donnie. But Donnie has the whole package, not just vocals. He’ll have to work a little more on his dancing and brush up on his piano and he’ll do VERY well in the industry. Hey may even make more loot than the ‘band’ for Bad Boy Entertainment.

don’t knock just because of the color or hair type, because neither can be undone by no person’s might, so if the person is real and upfront and can be a good friend and contact for making more friends over lunch, no need for doing reverse racism if you are going to grow, past the past, we need hope, besides everyone black knows that michael mcdonald ain’t no joke -noah reigns life

SophistAKAted Chic said on August 27th, 2007

I love the new band!! Diddy definitely picked a star studded group not to mention he chose the 4 guys I wanted plus “little” Mike. Robert-A must have b/c he has the strongest voice as far as holding long notes are concerned plus he knows how to perform. I think this is who impressed Mike Biv. the most. Willie-He is hella sexy and has a nice swag about himself. Qwannell-This cutie can hit the high notes and is a good dancer. Brian A.-He is mad dedicated and is a good performer because he had those dance moves down to a T on the finale performance. And last but not least “Little” Mike-Very dedicated to lose over 20 pounds and has a very strong voice and sense of humor.
I know we will see Brian H. somewhere in the near future though because his performance on the finale was just too strong for any label to pass him up. He may come out with an album the same time as the new band!!!!!!
Big Ups to Donnie (He may be a little Robin Thicke) Diddy is not crazy to pass up money from the little rich teenage girls so I’m sure this is why he signed Donnie.

DeAris said on August 27th, 2007

The reason Donnie got signed to a solo deal is because Diddy is a business man 1st off,and Donnie snagged the most votes from the fans.SO,Diddy is just being smart by signing him because Donnie is a fan favorite.But i thought DeAngelo should’ve gotten the solo deal.I was satified with the picks for the band.Everybody in the group is meant to be in the group!!!

dellac said on August 27th, 2007

That was the best pick ever, I’m not truly a Diddy Fan but the brother did goodthis time

TINA MARIE said on August 27th, 2007

MAN I COULDNT TAKE MY EYES OFF THE TV I WAS TRYING TO THINK WHO SHOULD MAKE THE BAND I LOVED ALL OF THEM WHEN THEY WAS PERFORMING THAT NEW EDITION SONG I WAS LIKE DAMN THESE BROTHERS ARE REALLY GOOD BUT GROUP 2 REALLY SHOWED GROUP 1 HOW ITS SUPPOSED 2 BE DONE. I KNEW DIDDY WAS GONNA PICK BIG MIKE MAN HE LOST ALL THAT WEIGHT AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BIG ONES HOLD THE GROUP DOWN THE MOST.AND WHEN MY MAN DONNIE WASNT PICKED I WAS LIKE WHAT BUT SOMETHING TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IM SO HAPPY 4 HIS SOLO CAREER PERHAPS THE ONES THAT HE DIDNT PICK SHOULD ALSO BE SOLO ARTISTS.AND ONE MORE THING I LOVE DANNITY CANE THEY WAS LOOKING NICE IM GLAD THEY ARE WORKING ON ANOTHER ALBUM, PLUS IM STILL WAITING ON BABBS AND NESS..I DIDNT 4 GET ABOUT THEM.

Alexis O said on August 27th, 2007

I think that the band is ok, but I think that instead of Brian A, Diddy should have picked Brian H or Deangelo. I do not think Donnie should have a solo deal, his voice is no where near strong enough to be solo. Donnie just reminds me of a bootleg Justin Timberlake. I think Diddy did that more because of his looks than his voice. Maybe Donnie will prove me wrong because he does have the drive. Brian H should have gotten the deal. His voice send tears to my eyes and chills down my body.

I THINK THE DIDDY DID MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR MAKING THE BAND HE PICK JEREMY OVER DEANGELO(THAT CRAZY)BUT IF ANYTHING DEANGELO SHOULD HAVE GOT AND SOLO DEAL NOT WHITE BOY (diddy wrong for that one) I THINK DIDDY DID PICK DONNIE BECAUSE OF THIS LIKE BECAUSE DEANGELO CAN OUT SING HIM ANYDAY.(but you know diddy is all about image)I THINK DEANGELO IS GOING TO GET A RECORD DEAL ANYWAY AND DO HIS THING

Bianca said on August 27th, 2007

I think Diddy made a stupid choice when he picked Brian A. over Brian H. I think that Brian H. is a way better singer!! He picked a good group overall, but the Brian boys shoulda been switched.

Delisa said on August 27th, 2007

Is Diddy smokin somethin!!!I can’t believe he choose Brian A. and Willie over Brian H.He only choose them in the group because they were short!He took DeAngelo and Dyshon, and my baby Brian H. off cuz they were tall.Only 2 that I am happy with in the group is Mike and Robert.Que is an exception.My baby Brian H. is left in the cold.DIDDY IS WRONG!!!!!!!BRIAN H. SHOULDA MADE IT!!!

shaft f said on August 27th, 2007

I support Diddy’d decision to include Q in the band. That young brotha is talented. but i will agree he skoulda kept BRIAN H.

New Orleans Queen said on August 27th, 2007

DONNIE WITH A SOLO CAREER????I THINK NOT!!!!HOW HE GONNA SAY THAT DYSHON IS A SOLOIST BUT DON’T GIVE HIM A SOLO DEAL!!ISN’T HE KINDA CONTRIDICTING HIMSELF??I’M NOT A DYSHON FAN BUT THAT WAS A DUMB REASON FOR NOT PICKING HIM!!I WAS A FAN OF THIS MTB,I WATCHED ALL OF THE SHOWS EVEN RERUNS,I WATCHED THE MARATHON AND I FEEL LIKE I WATCHED IT FOR NO REASON BECAUSE BRIAN HARRIS DIDN’T MAKE IT.THEN DIDDY DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE WAS FROM WTF WAS THAT ABOUT!!!DIDDY WAS MAD CUZ BRIAN H. WASN’T HAPPY WITH HIM FOR MAKING HIM CUT HIS HAIR.MY BABY BRIAN H. SHOULD’VE GOT A DEAL.HIS VOICE IS SWEET AND HE SOUNDED THE BEST LASTNIGHT,AND I GUESS MIKE 2!!!THE REST WAS A MESS!!!!!New Orleans Chick!!

Aliya said on August 27th, 2007

Diddy had a tough job to do last night. I thought Diddy choose the right guys to be in the group. Dyshon and Brain H is better off as solo artist’s. I think personally Donnie could sing but as a solo artist. Donnie image for the group wouldn’t match with the other guy’s.
DIDDY PICK THE GUYS FOR THE GROUP: BRAIN A, MIKE, Q, & ROBERT!!!!

Ash said on August 27th, 2007

i think dat da group diddy picked was iight he picked my top 2 which was mike and brian a. i mean mike can blow and brian tears it up on da mike i knew he was gone pick rob even though i think he cant sing dat well i was hopin he picked brian h. cuz he wasnt a favorite at all till da finale when he was hittin dem high notes and i really heard his voice i dont even kno how jeremy made it to da top 10 he sounded horrible when he was singin if it isnt love but its all good diddy picked who he picked and cant nobody change it congrats to brian a. mike will qwanell and rob best of luck. oh yea and to donnie

FW said on August 27th, 2007

I think that doonie should have been in the group, and Robert should have gotten the solo deal. Since, it didn’t go that way, I am okay with the group my three favorites Brian, Robert, and Mike made it. I didn’t want Q to make it, but it’s all good. I LOVEEE the song Exclusive! If they drop that as thier first single, and follow up their album with songs similar to it they will be huge. I hope they do great, or we will have to sit on the edge of our seats for a Making the Band 5.

Alexandra O. said on August 27th, 2007

I have to jump on the bandwagon with everybody else and say that i was COMPLETLY SHOCKED that after Brian Harris sang his behind off on exclusive the ballad version, he didnt get picked..its obvious that people were voting for no reason because everyone is saying that he should have been in the group and he didnt make it..If it is about talent he should have made it, if its about image he should have made it, if its about certain “spices” as diddy said, he should have made it because dudes swag is straight sexy/mysterious, and his voice just makes you wanna melt, i dont know how he didnt get the solo deal after all that mess. I like group except i would have switched the brians out. And lastly i think that the show didnt give him enough camera time to shine like everybody else did, i think that would have given him a better chance also.

sexy T said on August 27th, 2007

First of all let me say Diddy did a good job! I had trouble choosing who i thought should have been chosen because I loved everyone of them. It seems as though Diddy should have did something with all 10 of them. Expecially the one that could dance real good (Chris) I hope diddy sign him as a bad boy dancer. He is the best!!! I am already a fan!!!! Shout out to Diddy, You did it this time!!

jermisha said on August 27th, 2007

I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE BAND AND IM HAPPY HE GAVE DONNIE A SOLO DEAL CAUSE HE DESERVES IT HE HAS A LOT OF TALENT AND HE IS SEXY SO ALL YA PEOPLE WHO THINK WHAT DIDDY DI IS BAD YOU PEOPLE IS WACK AND YA NEED TO SAY NOTHING IF U DO NOT HAVE NOTHING TO SAY THAT IS GOOD

A .marie said on August 27th, 2007

I think diddy madeof big mistake by not putting Donnie in the band but definately Brian H. I was so disappointed when he cut Brian h.but hey maybe the potential that i thoght they had maybe that wasn’t what diddy was looking for

khaliah said on August 27th, 2007

I was happy with the band until he chose Brian A over Jeremy, Dangelo, or Brian H. i mean come on now, i really love Robert and Mike so as long as those two made it i was ok with whatever else happend, however i think Puffy had a lapse of good judgement when he gave Donnie a solo deal he can’t really sing. He should have given everyone a deal if he thought Donnie was good enough to be a solo artist considering they all had better voices.

shakevia said on August 27th, 2007

i think Diddy did good this season. i mean i was mad when he picked Willie over DeAngelo. I didn’t too much care for him. I think Donnie deserved to get his own solo record deal. I mean he’s a very talented white boy. Although it would have been great to see DeAngelo get his own record deal. But i think Donnie deserved to get his solo record deal i wish everyone else could see that.

Wright Girl said on August 27th, 2007

All u haters talking bout Mike shouldn’t made it, @?$~% Big Mike, now, Dat’s Wussup!!!!!! U kno Big Mike holding it down for the SOUTH. So, play wit it.

2resap said on August 27th, 2007

i think diddy could have done alot better with his pics… whiteboy just really learned how to dance. a solo artist come on!!!… what is diddy smoking haha.. i see his body was there but his mind was in lft field.. if whiteboy can get a solo deal than surely deangelo should to… best wishes to the band hopefully this group will make millions and have a better life with this recording deal than the last 3 making the band.!!

Briana said on August 27th, 2007

BRIAN H, BRIAN H, BRIAN H!!!! I just didn’t realize how great he was until he sang his A** off at that finale. Man…he was the best singer that night HANDS DOWN…he definitely shoulda made the band after that. D’angelo too, but I guess everyone can’t make it…too many talented brothers…i just hope we see them again real soon. They deserve success too!

and i’m not so sure Donnie can pull off the solo thing…

MissTrill said on August 27th, 2007

I enjoyed making the band, but i believed that my boy Julius should’ve gotten a solo deal or atleast made the group. I mean he was hurt and of course that threw him off and made him a little self-confident. But Diddy should’ve held on to him a little longer. After all he did hurt his leg because of him. By him trying to give it his all for a dance routine he put himself out of the game. But i pray for my boy Julius and hopefully somebody pick him up.. But i liked the boys he picked for the band.

Jennifer said on August 27th, 2007

The finale was crazy last night The guys pulled it together and all looked great performing. As far as Diddy and his choices for the members of the band it was mad hard and i don’t think i could have did it. Robert was predictable through out the whole season diddy was boasting about the chills he gave him. As far as Mike, every body keeps bring up his weight loss IT HAS NOTHING to do with it he got mad vocal skills and thats what got him a spot. Willie he is a pretty boy who also has mad vocal skills and te ability to all the ladys. Qwanell has worked EXTRA HARD for his spot so I think he deserves it. Brian A. is a great singer who really fought hard for his spot in Diddy’s Band and he really puts passion in to the words he is singing. To D’Andelo, Jermey, and Brian H. they just have to fight harder for a spot in the game, but I believe that somebody is gone pick them up in hot second. I’m still extremely sad about D’Angelo and Brian H. they are some incredible vocalist with the drive, dedication, and experience to make it I just wanted them to make this band. I love you D’angelo and Brian H. Keep ya heads up!

tastys69 said on August 27th, 2007

i think diddy did a good job by picking the five not four.. i really like big mike he is so sexy……

tana12 said on August 27th, 2007

I personally was VERY SATISFIED with Diddy’s pick last night. He picked three of my top choices which were Robert,Will, and Mike. Although all of the guys were talented in their own ways, I think the best men won. After all it was a competition, so someone shouldve have been expected to lose. So best of luck to those that struck out, but if they can really sing, they’ll get another opportunity elsewhere.The guys he picked looked great together! As for Donnie, Im very proud of him and how far he came. Everyone wants talk about him just because he’s white. Majority of Danity Kane is white and no one has anything to say about that!!! Dont hate on the man, he has talent and thats why he’s a solo artist. SO MY BEST WISHES GO OUT TO DONNIE.AFTER ALL, HE WAS THE NUMBER ONE PICK BY VOTES FROM THE FANS.RACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TALENT. IF WE CAN ACCEPT EMINEM OR JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, THEN MAKE WAY FOR DONNIE AS WELL.LOVE YOU GUYS, GOD BLESS AND MUCH SUCCESS IN YOUR CAREER. DO YOUR THING BOYS!!!!! good luck to WILL(CHI-TOWN!!!!), ROBERT, QWANELL, MIKE, AND BRIAN.

MANIKIN said on August 27th, 2007

IN MY OPINION I THINK DIDDY DID WHAT WAS TO BE DONE…..THE BOYS HAVE GREAT TALENT AND EVEN THE ONES WHO DID NOT MAKE THE BAND…NOW I HOPE THEY MAKE THEIR TALENT BE THE BEST OF WORK AND GIVE THE WORLD MUSIC TO SET ANY MOOD RIGHT! “CONGRADS AND MAY GOD BLESS U ALL(QWANELL,MIKE,ROBERT,BRIAN,WILLE & ALSO “DONNIE”)WITH A WONDERFUL CAREER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buttafly G.. said on August 27th, 2007

Well I thought it was a very exciting ceremony.
I was hyped that some of them sang so well.. O I was also extra hyped that he surprised us with the solo deal I couldn’t be more hyped about it because it’s different and although he has more work to do with his vocals he is a very talented Man white or not. Dude can play the piano and will look extra sexy in Sean John gear as a model if al else doesn’t work out. This group reminds me of 112. I’m happy for Donnie I was jumping up and down with the guy WHOOO hoo!! No everyone is not just talking about Donnie because he’s white but because he is the only one with a SOLO DEAL?!!

And yes Big Mike is sexy!!!

Shevell said on August 27th, 2007

I am pissed! Why did the white boy with the weakest voice get a solo deal? What is going on with diddy? Oh I know what he is doing he is trying to give J. Timber fake some competition.

Why didn’t DeAngelo get picked for the band?

KayWeezyLove said on August 27th, 2007

i think this season of making the band was okay! Danity Kane had them beat but tha fact remain that deangelo should have been in that band! and how the hell did wack ass Donnie get a deal! his horrible and i neva liked his justin wanna be timberlake looka like havin ass from jump street! i really don’t think robert shouldn’t have made tha band either! if Diddy was looking for sex appeal then he made it right with Willie, Qwanell, Robert and then it should have been fine ass Deangelo and that boy who had the dread and them cutted them off for diddy! ( ya’ll seem that show) that’s a good group of sex appeal! everyone kno voices don’t matter in this game. Look at B5! Horrible, Look at Mario Winans, Waste, look at Diddy ( he fine but he kno he was singing hook to Last Night Feat Keyshia Cole) what’s going on???? Dollars signs and waste of contracts that will be broken within a year after second season of MTB4! good look to those who made the band i liked!

Delv Mann said on August 27th, 2007

I Think Everybody He Pick Should Have Made The Band,But Donnie As A Solo Artist Come On. An For The 3 That Didnt Get Pick (DeAngelo,Jermey,And Brain H.)He Should Give Them A Deal Too. Hell I Would’ve Before Donnie. That’s What I Think About It.

GENTLESSAVANNAH5 said on August 28th, 2007

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I BELEAVE DEEP IN MY SOUL THAT ALL 10 WAS VERY TALENTED IF IT WAS ME TO HAVE TO CHOOSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HARD BUT I’VE WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH THIS ONE I WOULD HAVE GAVE a contract with all ten because they all was good , i watch it from the begining to the end,i would have divid them in 5-5 thats just my feelings. diane

Margo said on August 28th, 2007

I think Diddy did a great job picking the BAND all of those brothers can sing their asses off and for all you hatin ass people Brian A is sexy as hell, keep your head up Brian I love you

lashya said on August 28th, 2007

i just want to say diddy did a good job on picking ever one and my huband robert i was so happy that he won ima buy all the cdz thank for making the band 4 it a big hit

LaToya said on August 28th, 2007

HEY I THINK DIDDY MADE A MISTAKE HE SHOULD HAVE PUT DONNIE IN THE GROUP AND MADE MIKE OR ROBERT A SOLO BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE GREAT SOULFUL VOICES… AND WHY THE HELL DID HE PICK Q NO NO NO HELL NO THEM BUG EYES GOT TO GO AND ANOTHER THING WHEN DID THE NEW CHOREOGRAPHER TEACH THEM ANYTHING I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUY CHOREOGRAPHER!!!!!!! I JUST HOPE DIDDY ATLEAST PROMOTE THEM RIGHT BECAUSE DANITY KANE ONLY MADE TWO VIDEOS WHOOP PEE DOO, SHANNON DON’T EVEN SING ON NONE OF THE CD AND NEVER SPEAKS ON TV…. SO PLEASE DIDDY DO THE GUYS RIGHT DONT LET THEM END UP LIKE ( O-TOWN) AND (DREAM) O YEA (DA-BAND) ONE HIT WONDERS!!!!

Charembem said on August 28th, 2007

Im not madd with Diddy’s decision. Although I really thought that DeAgelo sould have made it. The way the guys sang EXCLUSIVE yesterday was crazyyy. Qwanell look soooo sexii singing thatt song. I loveddddd itt… I cant wait till their album comes outt!!

Janice from Minnesota said on August 28th, 2007

Trane, Shevell, Kayweezy

If it was the other way around a group of white young men, with one or two young black men on making the band and the head in charge was white, and had selected a black man as in Donnie’s position, people, more specifically white folks were saying half the things you guys are saying on here, you all would be playing the race card. You guys are putting too much emphasis on the fact that Donnie is white, what’s the deal with that. You can atleast say that Donnie wasn’t the best vocalist out of the group without adding the fact that he’s white, which is very obvious I might add.

MSGAP said on August 28th, 2007

I think the band is good but it would have been better if it was Brian.H,Brian.A. Big Mike, Deangelo, and Willie, Robert give out of breath during the middle of his verse, and Qwanell is to cocky. If diddy was going to give out a solo deal He should have kept Eric on the show because that was the reason he cut Eric because he thought he would be better as a solo act and then to turn around and give it to Donnie. As a matter of fact he could have kept Julius.

Meisha said on August 28th, 2007

I am very happy with the group Diddy picked. This season was the best season of Making The Band. The ten finalist were all very talented so you know Diddy had a hard time picking a group.I want to say Congrats to all the fellas who made the band because they all deserve it. This group is going to be hott. Mike well let me say Sexy Mike =D he is a wonderful singer he has a soulful sound…Robert was the best singer in the house he has a strong powerful voice…Willie(my favorite) he is the TOTAL PACKAGE he has the sex appeal, the voice, that BAD B()Y swagger,good dancer,nice personality,great performer…Que he is a good singer nd really good dancer and Diddy alwayz liked him…&& Brian A. come on now brian can sing his ass off diddy couldnt let him go but I aslo liked Dangelo he had a very unique sound, good singer. Well like Diddy said he put the group togather based on who he thinks sounds and looks good togather. As for Donnie, come on now he is very talented. He might wasnt so good at the start but he worked his ass off and it all paid off in the end. Plus Diddy knows what he is doing, Donnie is going to be the 1st white male solo artist on BAD B()Y records.The ladies love Donnie and he is talented so he is going to bring in that $$$ so yea he deserves that solo deal.I’m just happy for everybody =D

Jessica B said on August 28th, 2007

I AM SOOOO HAPPY WITH THE CHOICES THAT DIDDY MADE LAST NIGHT!!!
Willie: The sexiest person on the show, Reppin the Chi to the fullest! Oh my God, I was cryin when he called his name, I love him soooo much
Brian A: Very humble and sexy, I have been rooting 4 him since the beginning
Que: At first I wasn’t really feeling him, but as the show went on I began to fall for his personality more and more.
Big Mike: A very determined individual, and can sing his butt off
Robert: The best vocally, and he get mad props 4 cuttin his hair, I know that was hard.

I LOVE YOU WILLIE!!!
CHI TOWN’S FINEST

DALLASCHIC said on August 28th, 2007

ROBERT BOY YOU GOT THEM ROLLS, Q HAS A POSITIVE FUNNY ATTITUDE, BIG MIKE WELL HE JST SEXY, BRIAN A. I LOVED YOU FROM DAY ONE & U REPRESENT TEXAS YEAH BOOOYY, WILLIE BOY THEM ABS OOOH WEE MAN!! NOW DONNIE WITH A SOLO DEAL I DONT KNOW BOUT THT HE GOT SOME COMPETITION WITH J TIM AND ROBIN THICKE GOOD LUCK DUDE, HE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN THAT TO DE’ANGELO OR BRIAN H THAT BOY COULD SANG FA SHO….I JUST HOPE THEY GO FAR AND BE SUCCESSFUL, THEY DESERVE IT. GOOD LUCK GUYS CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CD TO COME…GOTCHA GOTCHA

Big Teddy said on August 28th, 2007

So glad to see my boy Q from the Roc(Rochester,Ny)made it and put the back on the map like Tweet and Taye Diggs.We are very proud of you and know you guys will do well.

Nitty'sgurl said on August 28th, 2007

I think that the Band is coo….. but Donnie should not have a solo contract…..Diddy just didnt want to look like he didnt like white people…..cause the 3 dudes that didnt make it that night, deserved that.

Wild Dominican Chick said on August 28th, 2007

I’M HAPPY ON THE DECISION THAT DIDDY MADE… CUZ FOR REAL, FOR REAL, DONNIE IS BETTER OFF A SOLO CUZ DIDDY KNOWS THAT HE’S CUTE & WILL TRACK ALOT OF FEMALES TO A CROWD. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO DANITY KANE (COME ON) I RATHER SEE DONNIE SOLO THEN HIM BEING IN A GROUP THAT “WHO KNOWS” MIGHT SPLIT UP… GO DONNIE. (LUV U) # 1 FAN ALREADY

Ms. Gottabody said on August 28th, 2007

I’m finally glad Puffy made his band. I was sad to see DeAngelo didn’t make the band. I thought he had a beautiful voice. What I am pissed about is Donnie getting a solo deal. I mean Puffy just handed him a deal since Puffy was in the giving spirit he should’ve hooked up the other dudes (Carlos, Dyshon & Julius) with the better voices & tighter dance moves. A Robin Thicke, Donnie is not! I will say this can’t wait for the next season of Making the Band 4 (They are NOW in the door)!

Briana said on August 28th, 2007

Im soooooooooo happy wth tha band DIDDY chose i thought that everyone who made it deserved to make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lady said on August 28th, 2007

I love the making of the band, i love the choice he made for the group. It was a hard choice because all of them can sing. Im so happy that Brain A got pick because how he battle eric and he blew him out of the water. I can not wait to see the next show it going to be off the hook. I LOVE ROBERT I LOVE WILLIE I LOVE Q I LOVE BRAIN A AND I LOVE BIG SEXY ASS MIKE.

Sharita said on August 28th, 2007

I think Diddy did the dame thing with the band all the guyes was tight this year and it was a hard decision to make. But I am glad he chose Mike thats the only one I was concern about….

Mz.Cheetos said on August 28th, 2007

I think its ok, but Dangelo should of been picked…. And donnie gettin a solo part man thats messed up….I would of gave it to Qwanell or somebody,but the white boy got it…. I’m happy that big Mike got a spot but my baby dangelo should have got a spot light… Brian should of been the one goin home…but u know its diddy decision

Tameshia said on August 28th, 2007

1ST OFF TO THE SEXY MIKE HATER AMONG US (NICK FISH)……..R U SERIOUS!!!! GRANTED DeAngelo IS AN AWESOME VOCALIST AND I WISHED HE WOULD HAVE MADE IT OVA Q, HE IS NOT BETTER THEN MIKE. SO GET OFF MIKE NUTZ!!!! I THINK U R ONE OF THE FIRST PPL THAT HAS A PROB WIT HIM……THAT SHOULD TELL U SOMETHING. I NOT REALLY A DIDDY FAN BUT FOR ONCE I THINK HE REALLY USED HIS HEAD TO FORM THIS GROUP. OF COURSE THERE WERE OTHAS THAT I WOULD HAVE SWITCHED AROUND ( EXCLUDING MIKE N ROBERT) THE GROUP IS PRETTY MUCH AWESOME. I WOULD HAVE MAYBE SWITCHED Q OUT FOR BRIAN H FOR 1 AND KEPT JULIUS ON SOME KINDA WAY. AND EVEN THO DONNIE MAY NOT BE THE GREATEST OR NO ROBIN THICKE OR J TIMBERLAKE AS MANY HAVE SO ELOQUENTLY PUT IT, I STILL THINK HE HAS SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO MAKE HIM GO A LIL FARTHER. BEFORE I CLOSE I JUSS WANT TO SAY THAT I SINCERELY WISH THE GROUP THE BEST OF LUCK AND HOPE THEIR CAREERS FLOURISH AND SURPASS THE FATE OF THE OTHER “BAND” GROUPS. CAN’T WAIT TILL THE ALBUM DROP BOYZ. AND SEXY MIKE……………I LOVE YOU!!!!!

michelle said on August 28th, 2007

I wish D Angelo would have been the fifth member. But other than that I am happy tha Q,Willie and Brian made it.

michelle said on August 28th, 2007

Oh, my gosh, how can I forget about Robert. He was my favorite from the start. I am gald he made it too!!

Mr. Entertainment said on August 28th, 2007

I’m pissed! I wanted De’Angelo instead of “Q”. De’Angelo has a great personailty which we really didn’t get to see alot on the show. HUGE mistake Diddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean John, or what name you are this week.

lillgtskin said on August 28th, 2007

Ok like Diddy,but I notice when you are on Bad Boy you have one record then you are put on the backburner.Ok not with the artist who got a deal on thier own but with the band series.Ima take that one back If you are a Bad Boy Artist thats not hot at the moment or Biggie.Also what happened to the other band folks like Babs,Ness,Chopper who got you that Cheesecake.I just hope that he don’t %@@#~ these brothers over because they really do have talent,not like DK they have talent but only on like 3 songs or so.Thats what happens when you sign to Bad Boy

big trav said on August 28th, 2007

I think the group is talented. But can Diddy make them super stars is the question everyone has. I think Diddy ought to let the producers handle this project and he just take credit.

LIL TT said on August 28th, 2007

THE BEST THING DIDDY DID WAS MAKE DONNIE A SOLO ARTIST. BECAUSE HIS VOICE WOULD NOT FIT THE GROUP. ROBERT IS PROUBLY IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE GROUP BEFORE “SEXY” MIKE BUT I THINK DE’ANGELO SHOULD OF MADE IT NOT BRIAN .A. BUT IT IS ALL GOOD .MII FAV PEPOLE WERE ROBERT AND DONNIE AND THEY BOTH GOT LUCKY SO IM COOL WITH IT AND DIDDY MADE A GOOD CHOICE.

BUT GOOD LUCK TO THE BAND AND TO DONNIE WITH HIS SOLO THING

YOUNG LIYAH said on August 28th, 2007

OKAY FIRST OF ALL I REALLII THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS GOING TO BE WAY BETTER THEN IT WAS.. SECOND HE SAID ITS HIS SHOW AND HE COULD DO WHAT EVER HE WANTED SO HE SHOULD HAVE REALLII TOOK THAT TO HIS AVANTAGE… FORREAL FORREAL… BUT ANIIWAY IF THAT WAS ME I WOULD HAVE ARANGE THEM TOGTHER HOW THEY SHOULD SOUND TOGETHER.. THEN TELL U THE TRUTH I WOULD HAVE MAD TWO DIFFERRENT GROUPS OUT OF THEM… THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST SMART CHOSE AND THE BEST ONE AT THAT.. BECAUSE ALL OF THEM CAN REALLY BLOW. AND THATS ON EVERYTHING HE NEED TO DO THAT SHYT ALL OVER OR JUST BRING THEM ALL BACK AND MAKE TO GROUPS. AND IF HE DID THAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE TALK OF MAKING THE BAND. SO DIDDY U NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT U LOSER….

Porshia said on August 28th, 2007

I was a little disappointed when Diddy finally made the band. I had a feeling that he would expand the band to five people because there was too much talent in the house to go to waste. I felt like DeAngelo should have taken Brian A.’s place. I have been a DeAngelo fan since day one and when he called Brian A.’s name, my heart was broken. I think all of the men who made it to the finals are extremely talented and I hope the ones who didn’t make the band continue to work hard because there are so many people out there who love them and want to see more of then.

REE said on August 28th, 2007

I am loving the new band. I wanted Brain A and Mike to make it they both deserve it…I was cheering from them since day one.So all of you that is hating on Brain A and Mike fall back. As for the other memebers Robert everyone knew he was going to make it and I am glad he did. As for Willie and Q they both bring as much as the other to the table. But I would have love to see D’angelo make it he could have took Will spot.

As for Donnie if he can get a solo deal then the other 4 can 2. Best of luck…

Lil P said on August 28th, 2007

I am very satisfied with the group members! I also liked Deangelo and Jeremy but it was a hard decision and a decision had to be made. The only members that I really wanted to make the band was Robert and Qwanell in which they did! I am extremely happy. And I agree with the most of you, Donnie blue eyes was definitely PR related. Diddy is not dumb….he is an opportunist…Diddy and his boys are about to get paaaaiiiiid because of him…………..

SHAY WATKINS said on August 28th, 2007

HEY DIDDY I’M SO IN LOVE WITH MIKE AND WILLE. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE BAND. I AM ALSO HAPPY WITH DONNIE..CONGRADS TO THE ONES THAT MAKE IT.

cocoa said on August 28th, 2007

I’m happy that Mike is repping South Carolina and made it. I think that Deangleo and Brian H. and Julius should have made it. I don’t think that Donnie should have gotten a solo deal. He should have given that to Carlos.

SexyT said on August 28th, 2007

Diddy did a good job picking the band. Also this season was the bomb compared to the other seasons. I’m mad happy that Mike made the band, also Robert was awesome so he deserved it. I feel that DeAngelo should have been a part of the band cuz he can sing better than Will and Jeremy, and he has that cute, clean look to him. As far as Donnie, Diddy is just trying to make some money off of him, Donnie ain’t all that great. But what the heck, its his business not mine, so good luck to all of them and I know that the guys that did n’t win will definetly get signed with someone else!!! God Bless and mad luck to them all.

I was happy with the final decision. I think Robert,Will,Q,Mike, and Brian A. are all extremely talented and together will be a successfull group. I hope that a year or two from now we still will be talking about these young men. I believe D’angelo and Brian H are talented as well and deserved to be in the group. It was a hard decision to make because each person had something unique to offer. I was shocked to find out that Danny received a solo deal because his singing voice wasn’t up to par with others like D’Angelo and Brian H. who didn’t make the band nor got solo deals. I’m still happy for him. He worked hard and if he continues to do so it will take him far. I wish the band and Donnie much luck. To the other 4 young men that didn’t make the band; keep your heads up and if singing is your dream then continue doing it. Don’t give up.

Samantha said on August 28th, 2007

As long as Robert made it….I’m very pleased. He (and Big/Little Mike) is by far the best vocally. I will defintely buy the cd when it drops (I hope the ballet version of “Exclusive” is on it). I pray that Diddy does everything possible to make this group his top priorty b/c I’m so hyped right now. Please don’t let him kick them to the curb like he did some other Bad Boy artists.

I think Diddy did the right thing picking the guys he pick.I’m so happy he pick Mike. Mike if are reading this boy you are soooooooo sexy you don’t a band. Anyway congrats to the fellas that made it i hope you guys blow up. love ya Mike

fannette said on August 28th, 2007

I think diddy is very much over rated anyway he need to take some of his money and do something with his whack smile and jacked teeth

Ebony said on August 28th, 2007

I think personally the band is ok. I think he should have pick D’angelo and Brian H (cute self) over quanell and Brian A. Everybody else is good and can sing. I really don’t why he chose Donnie for a solo deal. Donnie can’t never be Justin and prolly won’t sell no records. If thats the case then he need to give D’angelo and everybody else an record deal. Hopefully the album be good. I will by the cd and support them.

HATERS B GONE!! said on August 28th, 2007

brittany said on August 28th, 2007

diddy should have choosen cute Brian H, Willie,jeremy,robert, and last but not least my favorite the handsome D’Angelo

tiggerbaby585 said on August 28th, 2007

I THINK DIDDY MADE A GOOD CHOICE. THEY WERE ALL MY FAVORITES ESPECIALLY QWANELL AND MIKE WITH THEIR SEXY SELFS!!!!!!! BUT I WISH DEANGELO COULD OF MADE IT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jweezy said on August 28th, 2007

I think Diddy made the best decision he could. I watched the season from the beginning and these dudes were all talented and could sing their hearts out!I was kinda upset when the other Brian was cut.Donnie is a good performer and I can see why he got a solo deal come on now the guy can sing && play the keyboard give em some props!But overall the group will go far as long as the real fans are behind them.Look at Danity kane they had a number 1 album and they back in the studio…these fellas will be doin it big!!

Nicole Harris said on August 28th, 2007

Diddy picked a great 5. When i thought it would be a 4 man group i said “Will,Rob,Q,& Mike”. So adding Brain A, is a great additon. The final 10 are all talented singers, im sure they will all do well with there gift. This is by far, the best season of the show. I wish them all much success.

Peaches said on August 28th, 2007

I think the band’s choice was perfect, he couldn’t pick all, but he chose the right ones, and for Loriane…I’m glad she’s outta the picture. Can u say? “Control Freak”…I didn’t like her. Peace…all the luck with the band diddy….

whit15 said on August 28th, 2007

I knew Willie was going to make the group since day one. Diddy would have been real stupid not to have put him in the group. The rest of the group is alright. I really didn’t see Q being in it. I think Deangelo should have been in it. As for all the people saying Jeremy should have made it are wrong. He is the one with the DL swagger, not Brian A.

Danielle from boston said on August 28th, 2007

After reading these responses there are alot of people that wanted Deangelo to make the band and I dont see the big deal about him but on the other hand I wouldn’t be mad if he made the band. But Hello ladies… did you see how good-looking Brian H. looked I mean W.O.W!!! He’s tall smooth skin, sexy smile and those beautiful dimples! That haircut gave him alot of justice. On top of that he was the best singer that night! Did diddy go deaf. I mean he was hitting those high notes better than anyone that night. And i was so disappointed when he was the second one to be cut because he was the best looking one on the stage to me. As far as the group, Robert and Willie was so preditable and I like Qwnell but i can see him disappearing into the background of that group and I did vote for Brian A. i like his voice. I was a bit shocked he picked mike but i’m not mad because mike look hella good with his sexy dimples and beautiful light brown eyes.

Ericka said on August 28th, 2007

I think the group is great but he chose Brian A. over Deangelo. Wats up wit dat?
Also can’t wait for Donnie’s first single. I’m already a fan

Nika said on August 28th, 2007

I think Diddy make a good choice. I wish the group Good Luck!

Deedee said on August 28th, 2007

i think he chose a great group, but i mean come on! Mike over Deangelo, plzzz!!!!!! Deangelo should have gotten the solo track, AANNDD he shouldnt have kicked Brian H off cuz he tore that high note up. GO BRIAN H. and DEANGELO!!!!!!!!

Simone said on August 28th, 2007

I really like the guys chosen but i really don’t see why Donnie got the solo, there were better singers and dancers than him, like DeAngelo and Brian H., and Jermey too. So I am a little confused about that. I hope they quicly get signed to another lable, because the history of those signed to bad boys are short lived.
I love u Qwanell!!!!! I voted for u so much here in Jamaica.

TANEISHA said on August 28th, 2007

ALL OF THE GUYS CHOSEN EARNED THE RIGHT TO HAVE MADE THE BAND. ESPICALLY MIKE HE LOST A LOT O WEIGHT JUST TO PROVE HE WANTED TO BE IN THE BAND…MIKE YOU ROX MUCH LOVE GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE. REPENIN THE AMES TEXAS TO THE FULLEST!!!

Jontae said on August 28th, 2007

I Like everybody he pick but mike i think mike is a very good singer but his look to me didnot felt the group i would to see brain H make it because he was sexy and could sing to and mike lose weight because he need to if he made the band or not

K00KIE said on August 28th, 2007

OMG I WASS S00 RITE! I T0LD MY H0MEB0I THAT MIKE..WILLIE..QWANELL AND BRIAN

Danielle from boston said on August 28th, 2007

OH! And as far as Donnie getting the solo deal…. Yeah right! I’ll be surprised if he even releases a single. I am little torn because I like Donnie but I cant see myself buying his cd. I think diddy did that so as to not dissappoint the white girls..Hahahaha! Ummmm does anyone rememeber that white rapper that diddy was supposed to come out with like 4 years ago and he was in the group Dream video…Yeah i didnt think so and Donnie may have that same destiny! I’ll be shocked if Donnie makes it big. But Damn, Brian H. Diddy wrong for that one.

Rachel from AZ said on August 28th, 2007

I am happy with the top 5. I wouldve rather had deangelo instead of robert tho. I dont think donnie shouldve got a solo deal at all. I think he didnt want to upset the white boy. I dont think that donnie was the #1 voted person either. I really like mike. He has beautiful voice! I think he couldve made it even if he didnt lose the weight. There are plenty of people that were famous and big. I think music should be about the music not looks. I know a lot of women that like bigger guys and mike is sexy in the face and has beautiful eyes and has a great personality. That is all that should matter. I really like the group tho. 4 of my 5 made it and it was my 4 that I wanted to make it if he chose only 4. Deangelo was my #5 pick so I am happy. I think they will do the best out of all of the making the band groups, and I dont think donnie will sell very many albums.

Tricia said on August 28th, 2007

Diddy is so stupid.He doesn’t know talent if it blew up his a**.We all know that Donnie can’t sing real strong.The only reason he gave him a solo deal was because of his looks.Donnie is hott!Looks sell.He knows that when donnie is singing no one is going to care what he’s actaully singing about their g
