Equal parts the Monkees and MTV's The Real World, the show offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of a boy band, from their first audition to the signing of their first record deal (O-Town being the first season creation). Later seasons were run by hip hop mogul Diddy (Sean combs), and spawned Da Band, Danity Kane, Day26, and Donnie Klang.enhttp://www.rssboard.org/rss-specificationwebmaster@blinkx.com (blinkx webmaster)Mon, 20 May 2013 19:20:44 +0000Mon, 20 May 2013 19:20:44 +0000http://cdn.blinkx.com/store/images/video/b/09/TVShows/c752a62c5a6d9c75859d2111c5d1fa5a.jpghttp://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/fb89w8-fIRtW1yFJ4no6ZIlNAZIhttp://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/gsVpQKEZn7qYnR3w_DF5-jNSnCI#s3e3Danity Kane, Day26 and Donnie Klang have been practicing for the big tour for two weeks now, and they've got just one more week till they hit the road.

Their trip to London starts off with a bang as they all pack up their clothes and hurry out of their rooms because of what they think is a real fire. It turns out to be just a drill but it puts a pop in their step to start their sightseeing adventures. They struggle to stay awake as their guide gives them a history lesson in their stroll around on their private sightseeing bus.Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/gsVpQKEZn7qYnR3w_DF5-jNSnCI#s3The girls are on the cutting block as Diddy decides Danity Kane's future. In a meeting that changes everything, Diddy thinks the vision of the group has altered, Audrena doesn't know if the rest of Danity Kane has their hearts in the group, and Aubrey feels overwhelmingly depressed. The intense reality comes to surface that Diddy does not want Aubrey in the group any more. He doesn't like her energy and "wildin' out" ways. But that's not all. Diddy realizes that Aubrey has a click with D. Woods and subsequently asks D. Woods if she is happy in the group. Her response is "no," which was probably not the best answer because Diddy cuts her, too.Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/gsVpQKEZn7qYnR3w_DF5-jNSnCI#s3The Making the Band ers have gone from state to state performing in front of thousands of screaming fans, but now the tour is over and it's almost time for everyone to go their separate ways.

Back in New York City, the groups meet with the people at Atlantic Records to go over promo details and are soon off to meet with Miss Jones of Hot 97 - Danity Kane's arch enemy of honesty.Sun, 23 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2With their albums in the can, it's time to shoot the album covers. The guys of Day 26 admit that they love being in front of the camera and that modeling is just another way of showcasing their talents.Mon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2Things are getting tense as time gets shorter, so Diddy surprises the group with a day of luxury and relaxation on a yacht. As they bask in the sun and sip champagne, Diddy tries to get to know everyone on a more personal level. Aubrey and Donnie's blossoming love affair is brought out into the open, and Dawn and Q admit to having some chemistry...as if it wasn't obvious already!Mon, 10 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2It's getting down to crunch time! Tracks are being laid out rapid-fire and the albums are almost ready to become platinum. Everything is finally coming together...for almost everyone. Donnie keeps getting skimped on studio time and is falling far behind on track numbers. Even though Diddy compliments Donnie on his vocal improvement, Donnie worries that he won't be able to pull his album together on time. The final straw falls while Donnie, who finally managed to snag a couple minutes in the studio to record Beautiful Escape, gets the boot so Day 26 can do some work, instead. Donnie confides his worries to Aubrey, who encourages him to talk with the producers.Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2Attitudes get switched up in this episode of Making the Band 4. The guys, who last week were in the doghouse with Diddy, finally get approval to be let back into the studio. But the girls, who were performing perfectly on their album, now aren't so happy with the way things have been going. Danity Kane and the producers seem to be looking in two separate directions: the girls want a pop-international album that conveys the attitude of strong women, but the producers are coming up with slower ballads that seem like the girls are just "crying about a man."Mon, 25 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2With the guys kicked out of studio, they get to work with Ankh Ra (vocal coach) to learn to be more passionate about the overall process. Michael Bivins (Artist Development) stops by the apartment and talks with the guys and lays it out on the table: Diddy feels like he's not getting any emotion from the group during the recording process, and no emotion means no money-making. How can you record a song with passion, if the singers can't even feel what they're singing?Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2With only five weeks left to find their sound and make things gel together, the guys and Donnie are still having trouble in the studio. But for the girls it's still smooth sailing. So it comes as a huge surprise when Diddy challenges the girls and the guys to battle it out in a friendly competition. He gives each group the same track, one that has hit potential, and only 48 hours to write and record a hit for the track.Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2Everyone's feeling the pressure and the season is only just beginning. The guys have a lot to live up to since Danity Kane has already gone platinum, and the girls want to step it up even more from their first record.Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/iVQBxREAcJ2RENw_3yC7f6AqsZg#s2Last time we saw Diddy, he was announcing that Qwanell, Brian, Robert, Willie and Mike had made the band, and he surprised everyone by offering Donnie a solo contract with Bad Boy. So what happens when the guys are reunited in New York City for season 2 of Making the Band 4 ? Well, Diddy's expecting them to record a couple of great debut albums. But there's a catch -- they'll be joined by platinum-selling pop group Danity Kane. They just don't know it yet...Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e909After a successful trip to LA, the girls are back in New York for their first series of live performances. But, before they can hit the stage, the band has some last rehearsals to fine-tune its look and sound. A session in the dance studio brings a few surprises and a whole lot of drooling when male dancers are added to the routine. Vocal coach Betty White also spends some time giving the girls advice on stage presence and working the mike like they'd work a man.Thu, 10 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e908The girls head to L.A. to do some publicity and shoot their new video. Diddy hooks them up with a beautiful place to stay and they are thrilled with their L.A. digs.Thu, 03 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e907Normally new artists work with "up-and-coming producers," but Diddy's got friends and the girls are working with none other than Rodney Jerkins, the legendary talent behind hits for everyone from Beyonce to Britney to Madonna and beyond. The girls elect Aundrea to lead their song since it's in her register. She has a bit of a hard time at first, but is able to finally hit it.Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e906The girls are "preserving the sexiness" down in Miami and enjoying the sun. Meanwhile, Aubrey is still fighting the sexiness--thinking it gets in the way of her being taken seriously as an artist. At the same time, Aundrea and her boyfriend of nearly two years, Rudy, are having a hard time with maintaining a long-distance relationship.Thu, 20 Jul 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e905Welcome to Miami! Diddy meets the girls on a yacht to have a chat. He tells them how proud he is of their development and that he now thinks they're ready to hit the studio. Even better, he's going to bring in the best of the best to work with them: Timbaland and Mary J. Blige. Plus--to help the girls write song--none other than Pooh Bear and superproducer Scott Storch, who's already cooked up hits for the likes of 50 Cent, Beyonce, Terror Squad and more.Thu, 13 Jul 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e904Diddy wants to test whether the girls can stand up to superstar standards so he's set up a 72-hour marathon of radio interviews, training, and meetings. Diddy warns the girls that they'll be getting around three hours of sleep per day. "Hell week" starts at 6 am.Thu, 06 Jul 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e903If the girls want to be world-class superstars, they'll have to step their singing game up. So Diddy flies them out to NYC and hooks them up with legendary R&B diva / vocal coach Betty Wright. She's going to teach them about music --and the soul behind it.Thu, 29 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e902Diddy wants the girls to learn the "art of the live performance," so he's sending them to the All-Star Basketball game in Houston, Texas for a trial by fire. Before the show, the girls are rehearsing in Johnny's compound with vocal coach, Doc Holliday, and choreographer, Laurie Ann Gibson. After rehearsing for awhile, Laurie and Doc tell the girls that they need to be working together as a group and not as individuals. They need to get out of the competitive mentality that they were in before and start collaborating.Thu, 22 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e901Now that the band has been made, Diddy lets the girls head home to visit their families. Aubrey heads to Palm Springs, California to visit her radio show and her boyfriend, Jonathan. Aundrea visits her parents in Upland, California. In Atlanta, Georgia, Wanita discusses how dancing began as her mom's plan to get a "free Saturday" turns into a passion she can't live without. Shannon visits with her husband of two years, Ron, in Costa Mesa, California. In Baltimore, Maryland, Dawn's family throws her a Mardi Gras party to celebrate and to make her feel more at home. Dawn's family evacuated to Maryland before Hurricane Katrina.Thu, 15 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e9On the night of the grand finale of Making The Band 4 , a huge crowd stood outside of the MTV studio in Times Square, anxious to see who Diddy would pick to make the band.Sun, 26 Aug 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e8During the last episode of Making the Band 4 , the 10 finalists were sent home for two months to brush up on their skills and hopefully return as true superstars.

King Blues Club, Diddy cut four guys: Tyrice, David, Maurice and Anzeo. Now the gang is down to 16, and the guys realize this is a tight competition. Although they're all sad to see their fellow finalists go, they know they must push forward and pray they're not the next to go home.Mon, 09 Jul 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e3As the Making the Band 4 competition heats up, Diddy doesn't want the guys to get too comfortable.

It's going to get interesting.Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/making-the-band/yBZlrcqNoAm--dmflvmybKfFwLs#s1e2The 20 Making the Band 4 finalists have been chosen by Diddy and are moving into their awesome NYC pad!
