MTV’s hit reality series “Making The Band” returns
but this time around Diddy creates the ultimate
R&B all male group! Fresh on the heels of creating
the successful all girl group ‘Danity Kane,’ whose
album debuted at number one, Diddy raises the bar
and puts himself to the test once again. Check out
the competition by going to MTV.com and get to
know all the guys in the cast. Find out who has
the right stuff to make history and become a part
of the hottest new all-male group when MTV’s
“Making The Band 4” premieres on Monday, June 18th

premiere of MTV favorites, “My Super Sweet 16” at
9pm ET/PT and MTV News & Docs powerful documentary
series “Engaged & Underage” at 9:30pm ET/PT.
After nationwide open auditions with the help of
celebrity judges including New Edition’s Michael
Bivens, R&B sensation Joe, choreographer Laurie
Ann Gibson and superproducer Bryan Cox, Diddy
selects 20 of the most talented young men from
across the country to live together in a loft in
Manhattan. The ultimate singing and dancing
competition begins as these eager young men who
hail from cities such as LA, NY, Detroit, Houston,
Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando and Charlotte try to
impress one of the most successful men in the
music business in hopes of becoming a part of the
next hot all male-group. They’ll have to learn to
live and work together and make it through Diddy’s
unexpected tests to see who is worthy of being a
part of the band.
Earlier this year aspiring superstars were able to
log onto http://makingtheband.mtv.com to upload
their singing audition for the world to see.

audition in person for Diddy. Tune in this season
