So last night was the live Making the Band 4 finale and it was the most intense finale to date. Those guys were all looking good, they brought their A-game, and they were hungry for the opportunity. At first I thought the finale was going to suck because it looked like it was going to be an interview type thing…but once the fellas started singing, I couldn’t leave my seat. Every person got their chance to shine and prove why they belong in the band. In the end, Robert, Brian A, Big Mike (who isn’t to big anymore), Qwanell, and Willie made the band. I was so disappointed that Donnie didn’t make it since he really shined last night…but Diddy decided to sign Donnie to a solo deal. So…this season will undoubtedly be the beginning of two superstar acts. Stay tuned for next season where the fellas, Danity Kane, and Donnie will be making their albums.

What did you think of the finale? Did your favorite make it? Who shouldn’t have made the band and who should’ve taken their place?

D’angelo should have made it, i was rooting for him.
is donnie the white guy?
Well i guess i just realized the other night that jeremy really doesnt have the biggest personality there is so it makes more sense now, but im just still awwed by his singing, which i felt he did best at last night, and throughout the season, i do feel like jeremy and deangelo definately deserved to make it over Qwanell, and maybe willie or brian a even though i like them, but i do hope jeremy has a bright future ahead of him.
P.S. Is it just me or is Qwanell really not that great?
I love Qwanell! I don’t think Jeremy deserved to make the band. He has no personality at all and his voice isn’t all that strong. Q has a better voice than Jeremy. I would say that all the guys left deserved to make the band…the people that were chosen were put in the band because Diddy wanted a certain look, chemistry, sound…not because they were the most talented (since they were all talented).
i hope deangelo , jeremy, and brian h start their group, i feel there would be more talent there.
I really wanted Big Mike and Brian A to make it so I was very happy! At first I didn’t really care for Brian H. because of his funky attitude but after last night I was rooting for him and he didn’t make it. :’-( Overall I think it’s gonna be a good group and I can’t wait for the next installment of MB4 comes on!
I’m not surprised by the outcome, not trying to be rude, but Diddy left out all the “forgettables” they just didnt have that celebrity quality…and yea I’m glad Donnie got a solo deal, I think he has the potential to actually be really great if his career is guided correctly by Diddy..unfortunately Diddy has the tendency of forgetting about certain artists after one single so we will have to wait and see what happens
Two superstar acts… from one Making The Band show that had everybody believing it was spur-of-the-moment? NAHHH!!!
Bad Boy is a one-hit wonder factory.
Craig Mack - “Flava In Ya Ear” and FLOP
Black Rob - “Whoa” and FLOP
Loon - “How You Want That” and FLOP
Da Band - “Bad Boy This” and FLOP
Cassie - “Me & You” and FLOP
Danity Kane - “Show Stopper” and FLOP
Please don’t get me started on B5…
Danity Kane did not FLOP…they had a platinum cd…very few artists have had one of those in the past year or so, and they did a national tour with Christina Aguilera. They could’ve been bigger if Diddy actually put more force behind them, but we all know he is a selfish dude.
I stand by my statement…two new superstar acts!
i just wanna say that i luv donnie and i hope that he makes it big.itz not really a hope itz like i know that he’z gonna b alright out there. he’s adorable and i can watch him on tv all day. i watch the reruns all the time. my favorite was when Qwanell was teaching donnie a dance move and carlos was like the donnie was tryna make a baby—-it was hilarious. —–i know that he may not know it now because he might be really really scared but he’s gonna blow peopple away with his dance moves. he’s soooooooo dedicated and that’s pretty much all i wanted to say. i luv u donnie with all my heart and i wish u the best of luck although i know that you really dont need it. mwuah!!! if you could write to me when or if you get this messege it would really mean the world to me.
Danity Kane sold more than Diddy.
I wanted Deangelo to make the band, and Donnie is not that great. Of all the people to have a solo deal? Damn shame, he won’t be able to compete with Justin and Robin, cause you know that’s how Diddy is going to peg him.
I just wanted to know, did the votes count for anything?
Please dont say Justin’s name in a Reecie post… that’s grounds to be banned from the site!
I Loved Donnie!
I No He’s A Solo Artist Now But I Would Still Rather Him Be In The Band!
O Well Least Willie And Brian.A Got In!!!
The only change I would have made is to put D’Angelo in Brian’s spot. I liked him much better.
I would have most def put Deangelo in the group i mean just hearin him and robert sing together meshes so good together. Brian and Willie’s voices are similiar in my opinion although Brian can hit those higher notes, and Big Mike..yes he’s talented and he worked his ass off to be in the band. As for Q, he’s cute, young, and marketable. My dream group would have been: DeAngelo, Robert, Willie, Qwanell, & Big Mike. HELL just put all 10 of them in the group SUPERBAND LOL
So is Donnie supposed to be Bad Boy’s answer to Justin Timberlake? LMAO. Not happening.
I didn’t like the finale. I didn’t like the singing. They were like male Beyonce’s up there running all over Boys II Men and shit. And the yelling during exclusive was just too much.
I would’ve swapped Brian with the guy in the white jacket who was killing that falsetto.
i thought jeremy should of made it, he gave me chills when he sang, and i guess it helped that he was good to look at also.
I LOVE THE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT”S DA BOMB!!!! ESPECIALLY LIL MIKE!!!!!!!! AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON WILL!!!!! HE IS JUST SO DAMN FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not one to listen to a lot of music, but I find myself sing this song all day. I think the entire group is outstanding. I like DeAngelo and was please to see that he was excited for those that made it. I am sure he will go far also. I agree that Q is cute and I love Willie. I am very proud of Big Mike…you go boy. I looking forward to seeing just how far the go. It good to see positive black men. We always talk about what they do wrong but this is something to be proud about. Brian H. has a wonderful voice and I think he did outstanding on the ballot. Sure hope these guys will make some money off of that hit. I agree that Robert and Deanglo voice enhance one another. As I said, I don’t normally do anything like this but thought it was important to let the guys know that they should continue to be positive role models. Brian A. your right, if you as God all things are possible. Best of Luck to each and everyone of you. Sincerely, Big Sis..Angie
Jeremy should have made it. He DID have personality! He always seemed happy and laughing. Plus, he had an amazing and unique voice.
I was happy with everyone but Big Mike. I don’t think he has any stage presence.
i
man i swear i really wanted jeremy to win his voice is really good and it sucks that people keep haten, i think he should have been in the band or at least get a solo part instead of donnie, i guess not a lot of people even knew jeremy was on the show because the camera was never on him until the season finale so i hope he gets a record deal from some one and DeAngelo i never realized he had a good voice
good luck in the future jeremy
but i also still like the band i just wish jeremy was in it
they should replace mike and willie with brian h and jeremy
I love the band exactly the way Diddy made it. These guys have a great chemistry.
You could tell they all were happy to make it together. They are like brothers. I did like DeAngelo and thought he should have made it instead of Q. They never really showcased Q’s voice and it’s O.K. but not better than DeAngelo’s. I love Robert, Willie, & Brian A. the most and I will support the group 100%. I hope they make “Exclusive” a single and put it out there with a video. Slow or Fast, I like both versions. Willie has the video of the “exclusive” live ballad version on his myspace page.
First off I never really cared for Brian A. anyway, he reminds me of a baby sisqo. Brian H surprised me his voice was on point but remember he had a bad attituted and Diddy runs the show so it didnt matter how good he sounded. But as far as Q he sounded so much better than Im used to hearing seems a bit gay to me though. I love Willie and Robert, they are stright stars. Big Mike desreved it as well. Now Donnie baby he sounded good on exclusive even though he was biting off Roberts run he does in the song, but solo deal? Okay you know that mean hes another bad boy artist on the shlef. Danity Kane could have sold more albums if htey would have came out with a 3rd sing. Diddy didnt have time for them cause he had to get with the pussy cat doll to do another bad song
im so happy diddy chose the members that i wanted to be in the band xcept 4 D’angelo i think he should’ve made it but it dont matta cuz they wont stop i mean come on they made it all the way so im really proud of this season! im happy donnie got a solo deal!!!
I Think The Group Shoud Be Carlos,willie,julius,deangelo,and brian.h And I Think That Dyshon Should Have Gotten A Solo Deal
DeAngelo should have made the band. He had one of the best voices in the house. Diddy should have made a 6 man group like (New Edition). Diddy made sure he picked the 2 guys from New York (Que and Donnie). Watch the finale Exclusive ballard with DeAngelo and Robert. Their voices blend perfectly. Willie, Brian A and Q voices are too close in pitch.
I feel that Brian Harris should have made it over maybe mike or he should have had Donnies place. Donnie can sing for a white guy or whatever but I don’t feel as though his voice is a strong as the guy that didn’t make it.Brian Harris did so good in that slow version of Exclusive and he did good in all the others I heard him sing.Donnie should have went home after he talked back to Diddy. The way I see it Brian Harris is better than Donnie will ever be.
I am really happy with the outcome.I am so happy that willie and Mike made it but, diddy should have not picked Robert i feel like his girl has to much influence over him. Also Robert is not that attractive those other guys run circles around him. Step your game up Robert.
i love donnie , his so cute and has a really good voice i didnt find out until i saw this page that he didnt make it. but he was probably the whole risen i would listen to the band. i luv the people who r in the band now , but like diddy said he had something about that didnt make him right for the group but good by himself.I cant wait to hear his cd
i think that jeremy should have made the band or at least gotton a solo deal instead of donnie what do you guys think?
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU 5
I think that jeremy should have made the band. He can really sing and he has the look.
MANNNNNNNNNN…… DEANGELO N BRIAN H SHOULD HAVE MADE THE GROUP REAL TALK BRIAN A CAN SING TOO DOT GET ME WRONG I AINT A HATER BUT HE DONT HAVE THE LOOK 2 ME N THEN DIDDY ACTS LIKE DONNIE JUST GOES HARD WHN HE JUST AIGHT WHN I WATCHED THAT SHOW I WAS SO PISSED OFF CAUSE I WATCHED IT FROM DAY 1 AND I JUST KNEW DEANGELO WAS GON MAKE IT N BRAIN H HE EVEN HAD HIM CUT HIS HAIR AFTER THAT I JUST KNEW HE WAS GON MAKE IT HE SHOULD OF HAD LIL BRIAN CUT THEM LIL BRAID OF HIS CAUSE DEY AINT WAT THAT IS BUT ERBODY WAS COOL BUT THIS GROUP AINT WAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GON B IT SHOULD OF BEEN DEANGELO BRIAN H BIG MIKE ROBERT N WILLIE THAT WOULD HAVE MADE MY DAY!!!!!! BUT BAD BOUT IS PLAYED OUT NE WAY LOL DATS REAL
man i think de angelo shoulda made the band.
he a has such a great voice! Q has a ok voice but i dont think he shoulda made it.
jeremy n brian h were really good 2 tho.
i think the band shoulda been:DeAngelo,Big Mike,Brian H,Robert,n Willie or Jeremy.
i cant believe diddy (who i am not a fan uv) pick Q over DeAngelo!
I can see why Deangelo didn’t make it his voice along with Brian H, Big Mike, and Robert were the best. But he didn’t fit the group personality wise. But after seeing his stage performance i do think he should of made it. I don’t no how he cut Brian H, yeah he got a lil hot headed with the hair cut and with Unc for critisizin him but he was a beast singin wise. The band in my opinion should have been Brian H, Robert, Big Mike, Willie, and Brian A
im glad dat donnie got in because i waz supporting him all da way and im shore he will do well az a solo and good luck 2 da group
Brian H. should have been chosen!
i thank that evreybody that diddy picked was the ones that deserved to be choosen but i also thought that he should have oicked brian h cuz he song that song really good.
now that the next season has started i’m starting to see some flaws. I always like jeremy and you can tell he ain’t no trouble maker. i liked brian a at first but now i’m having second thoughts he got a wife and family and he got a temper. diddy should of picked jeremy over brian a if he was in the house from the beginning he prob would have made it.
I think that De Angelo and Brain H should have made the group. Day 26 Band should have been: De Angelo, Brian H, Brian A, Robert, Mike, Donnie. Q’s voice is not that great; Diddy picked him because of his looks; as well as Will. I’m not too familiar with Jerermy but I do know that he doesn’t pronounce his words as clearly as the others in the group, so perhaps that was a big factor in him not getting selected for Day 26. The love ballard to Exclusive is awesome! If they put the love ballard on Day 26’s CD to be released it will not sound good without De Angelo singing the beginning of the song because he totally rocked it and has great stage presence. Also, Brian H rocked the middle of the song so without all ten of them singing the love ballard the song will not sound good to me. That’s good for Diddy that he is having problems with those he selected not harmonzing to cut the CD, because he went after looks instead of quality. I feel that Q should be replaced with De Angelo and Will should be replaced with Brian H. I wish De Angelo and Brian H many blessings with either a solo career or vocal group career together in the future.
lol my god i love you willie and q u dont need dawn u need me and lol im a girl
