NEW YORK, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/
-- Diddy and the cast of MTV's "Making The Band 4"
take over Times Square for a live event Sunday
night, August 26th beginning at 10PM ET where the
band will finally be unveiled. Fresh on the heels
of creating the successful all girl group 'Danity
Kane,' whose Platinum album debuted at number one
selling more than 230,000+ copies in its first
week. The group toured with Christina Aguilera and
The Pussycat Dolls and will be releasing a new
album on Bad Boy Records in 2008. This season we
will see if Diddy can apply his magic touch to
create the ultimate all-male band.
From MTV's Time's Square studio, fans will welcome
the 10 finalist from one of the most exciting
seasons of the hit reality series Making The Band.
In the season finale Diddy made a shocking
announcement deciding not to pick the band but
instead solicited the help of the MTV viewers. At
the live event on August 26th Diddy will reveal
which deserving cast members will be chosen for
the few coveted spots in the band. Which of the
ten finalists -- Donnie, Michael, Jeremy, Brian C,
Robert, Qwanell, Willie, Brian A, DeAngelo and
Dyshon will remain standing?
Leading up to the big event fans have been voting
for their favorite band member on
makingtheband.mtv.com where there have been
400,000 online votes to date. Voting will continue
until 10pm August 26th. Also, prior to the long
awaited event fans can submit questions to Diddy
and the cast via MTV.com that will be presented
and answered during the live show.
This eagerly anticipated event will be filled with
many surprises and promises to be a memorable
experience for fans. This season viewers saw many
unexpected twists -- from Diddy's long time show
choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson being fired, to
Diddy surprising the cast mid season with new
candidates, to the infamous physical challenges
that Diddy presents to the guys.
Season to date, "Making The Band 4" ranked #1 in
its time period (Mon 10-11p) among F12-34 versus
all cable nets, reaching over 57.5 million total
