Notorious Sean Combs better known as Diddy, is best known for his flashy style/spending, Sean John clothing line, producing hit records, and forming singing groups on MTV reality shows.
A year ago, viewers watched as he developed a girl group called Danity Kane from scratch. These five ladies' first album went platinum, which was a triumphant feat for Diddy's third attempt to create a successful group on MTV.
The next season featured males from all over America ranging in ages 18-25, vying for a spot in Diddy's boy band. The finale had a surprising twist, not only did he compose a 5-man group, one candidate by the name of Donnie was declared a solo artist on the Bad Boy record label.
The MTV and Diddy collabo hits us with another season of "Making the Band," where this time the 2 groups, Danity Kane and the boy band, as well as Donnie compete to make a record-breaking album. They all are being housed in the same building which is sure to bring drama inter and intra-group related.
Personally, I believe that it'll be easier for Danity Kane to make an album faster since they've done it before. They know how to each other's roles and how voices should comfortably mesh well together. Donnie shouldn't have too much diffuculty since he's a solo artist meaning the only person he would have to blame is himself.
The new guys are going to have it the hardest. They're still learning about their own voices as well as the development of the groups' sound.
The first episode aired January 28th at 9pm.
Everyone is eager to work, but are caught off guard with having to live together. Aubrey (outspoken member of DK) gets scolded by Diddy for dying her hair and exposing too much cleavage.
Later on that evening the guys takes the girls out for a night on the town. The silent awkwardness in the stretch Lincoln Navigator soon turns into loose fun at the club when drinks are consumed.
Hookups are inevitable this groups of attractive artists living together. Dawn and Qwanell start a little love connection as well as Donnie and Aubrey.These relationships could soon prove to be beneficial or detrimental to the individuals and group.
But hasn't anyone ever told them "DON'T MIX BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE."
