Written by SOHH Soul Man

Last night was the season finale of MTB4 live in Times Square.

Soulman was on set to see the whole the thing go down. Check out a few pics I took from the audience:

And of course I copped some video footage:

MTB4 - "Exclusive" Slowed Down Remix

Yung Joc - "Coffee Shop"

MTB4 - "End of the Road"

What do you think of the final group of Robert, Q, Willie, Mike and Brian with the braids?

i really liked the slowed down version of "I Want You Exclusive". They were singing thier hearts out.

I think you forgot to mention something very important. Donnie (or whatever his name is) got a solo career, too.

The finale was cool. They can definatly sing. I think Brian without the braids should been part of the group. But besides that Diddy did a good job in selecting the members.

Congrats 2 Donnie for the solo deal...........................we will see how that works out.

I'm really happy about the group even though my favorite, Dyshon, didn't make it. I'm expecting really big things from these guys. I was afraid Donny would make it, but since he didn't maybe we can expect some real R&B from these cats. I hope Donny blows up as a solo artist.

I called this one from the rooter to the tooter.

I LIKED THE GROUP HE PICKED. I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT DONNIE WASN'T IN THE GROUP AND THEN WHEN HE SAID HE WAS GETTING A SOLO DEAL I WAS FINE. HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE A GREAT CAREER OF SUCCESS.

Donnie is gay

I thought he should have choose Deangelo, I was shocked he choose Q and Brian A over him, especially Q, he sounds ok sometimes but Deangelo has a really nice voice, love Robert and Mike and Willie was chosen for his looks, ok group in all.

Knew Brian (braids) was going to make it dude been on his grind for a minute. Hoped willie would. You know diddy sees dollar signs for Donnie

I interviewed Diddy, Donnie and the Band.... More videos to come.

It was obvious who would be in the band for weeks now. Certain people were more famous than others because they got more camera time. The brian who they made cut his hair, he never really was a star on the show so I knew he wouldn't last. As far as Donnie, I knew he couldn't be in a all black group so Diddy is going to make him do Justin Timberlake style songs and blow up, while the group tries to sing to young black girls.

Congrats to all of the guys who made the band and donnie for his solo career. Does anyone know the name of the band?

I'm not buyin this shit! And I doubt they'll make it past gold. Where tha hell is Danity Kane? They were Diddy-Dear's best shot...

Danity Kane sells a lot of records but they aren't R&B so they don't get talked about on sites like this. They went platinum on their last album and this one is doing good too.

I'm very happy with the band Diddy picked except for Q. This is a very talented group of guys and hopefully this time around, Diddy will actually do something with them and not place them on the backburner with rest of his artists. Good luck to Donnie as well!

Real Talk
^^^^

I've interviewed Danity Kane on this site ... twice. They do get coverage here.... don't sleep.

i missed this shit... damn jermey or d'angelo aint make the group...where the fuck q came from? are u serious diddy? i dunno if this band is all that, i really dont like the combination... i knew they was gonna put willie ass in the group, he got mad sex apeal... well at least the dudes that didnt get in the group wont get fucked over by diddy... ya'll kno its comin!

Q deserves to be in that group. Besides, he is from my hometown... LOL! That alone makes him worthy of the band.

New sound,new era...vibe with me.

Man i was really feeling the group, this has been the best making the band since the rap version on the show..But Q???? What was diddy doing to pick that guy over Deangelo..Come on Diddy you killing us dawg...You know you was tripping on that one... To tell you the truth Donnie ass got the better deal..a solo career..thats some bullshit if you tell me.. All in all i like the look of the band except Q, since he gonna be getting money now maybe he can get that over bite fixed..asap... Deangelo need to come out with an album..Dude got a tight voice...

I am happy with the group Diddy picked. I read that Donnie, Mike, and Willie received the most votes on the mtv website. I just love Big Mike!!

diddy did a great job pickin the band...big mic..was my favorite cause he put the most work regardin wait and overall imhappy..making the band 4 we in he door...by hte wya check out his funny new myspace sitcom: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2054341975

Yo I was so upset that Deangelo and Jeremy didn't make it but I know why, but I still think they were better than Q and ya'll right Willie only made it cuz he has the look, that man Deangelo was sing'n his ass off. The slow version is hotter than the up tempo version.

Qwanell deserved to make the band. Deangelo does have a better voice but he also has a better voice than the rest of the band minus big mike. I would have replaced willie with deangelo. But that's just my opinion. Its not just about voices, its also about style, appeal, and fitting together. You know donnie didn't get that solo deal cuz of his voice... diddy gon try 2 make him the next justin timberlake.

Qwanell is so fruit!

i think diddy made the right choice as far as who's in the band and donnie except for Q he just desnt do it for me i thought tht jerey woulda been a better fit vocally and looks wise....o btw did anyboy else see tht carlos was there in a corner with his girlfriend i hope everything works out for u boi bcuz u woulda made the group had tht stuff wit ur baby not come up

ok, anyone who even brought up Jeremy is straight trippin...he sounded a HOT MESS...ugh...i'm SO glad he didn't make it

I was upset that Brian H and D'angelo were left hangin...they are so talented, and Brian outsang EVERYONE at that finale hands down...I hope they find success elsewhere, cuz they got the pipes and the swagga

but all in all I think the band will do very well

diddy just tried to remake 112 cuz they bounced on him, to be found in the alleys of the ATL -- no longer relevent.

diddy succeeded in makin 212 (two-twelve)

Ohmy gosh!! How can I get a copy of them singing exclusively , that was a "rock star" performance. I really thing that this group will put Bad Boy Waaaaaaaaaay back on the Map!! Those young men are so talented! I'm feeeeeenig for exclusively (the slowed down version and I will get at least 10-20 of their album when it drop!!! Diddy if you see this comment, DO NOT SELL THIS GRP SHORT!!! They are the real deal. Don't get me wrong, I love Danity Kane, but it'ts something very special about these grp of men!! Please let them shine, their light is BRIGHT!!!

THANK GOD DIDDY PICKED THE RIGHT GUYS FOR THE GROUP,,, I LOVE.ROBERT,AND BRIAN,,SO IM WAITING TO COP THE ALBUM.WHEN IT COMES OUT..THANKS FOR NOT PUTTING DONNIE IN THE GROUP..AND THANKS FOR KICKING LAURYANNE RETARDED GOTCHI GOTCHA ASS OFF THE SHOW..AND PLEASE DONT HIRE HER CRAZY ASS TO WORK FOR BADBOY.

THE GUYS THAT DIDDY DIDNT PICK TRUST ME DIDDY WOULDNT LEAVE THEM HANGIN LIKE JEREMY ,DIANGELO,DYSHON....AND CARLOS..WHO IS BECOMING A SOLOIST..ARTST..DONNIE FITS THE WHITE BOY BAND.LIKE A BACKSTREET OR NSYNC KINDA BAND.HES NOT RIGHT FOR THE GROUP

Diddy picked the right dudes and probably knew who he was gonna go with weeks ago.All the guys that were cut just got an American Idol like audition for all label heads-they'll be alright either solo or as a "runner-up B group" who knows!

I think all those guys deserved to be in the band, cuz they ALL had talent!! So, no matter who he picked, I knew it was going to be good. As far as Donnie, he was by far my favorite and I know we'll be seeing alot from him!! Congrats to all the guys!!

Diddy did a great job at making the selections for the group that he formed. At first I was disappointed because Donnie was not picked, but at the end when he offered him a solo contract I was very happy. I believe that Dyshon, the first person picked not to be in the group also received a solo contract on Sunday night. I hope that all truned out well for Carlos and his girlfriend regarding their baby and I was sorry to see him leave when he did. Good luck to all of the guys and I wish the group, the solo artist and Diddy all the best. And people, stop hating on Diddy. And for Wendy Williams your fat ugly man looking ass needs to stop hating on Diddy also. No matter what Diddy may be and/or whom he deals with in his personal life, is his choice. What would you do and/or how much talking about your son would you do, if he became a Diddy. And I do not mean money and or status wise. You know what I'm talking about. I'd bet you would not talk about him as you do everyone else. Go somewhere with your corny ass tv show.

diddy didnt want donny in the group or the dreamteam..anyway after talking to him the way he did,,thats why he replaced him with quanell..he gave donny solo just to get him out the way...lol...knowing he prolly wont do good anyways..cuz he cant sing..jeremy can sing but he doesnt perform well onstage..and hes a terrible dancer..deangelo.can sing but is too tall for the group...dyshon not a team player always want to be the head nigga in charge..lol.i believe carlos would have made it..his voice is real genuine..and tall brian cant sing he was just keeping the bed warm...his corny ass..i love ROBERT,BRIAN A.QUANELL,WILLIE AND MIKE ..I LOVE WHAT.THEY DID WITH EXCLUSIVE...I JUST LOVE WATCHING THEM ON TV...IT REALLY SHOWED THAT THEY WERENT BITCHES UP IN THE HOUSE...THESE GUYS ARE REAL MEN WHO GOT ALONG WITH EACH OTHER..AND STICK TOGETHER

People are ridiculous sometimes...not everyone with a good voice is worthy of a record deal, there has to be a lot more there as far as celebrity quality is concerned. The guys he cut, we're "forgettable", not trying to be rude but it's true. Donnie got a solo deal not because he has an exceptional voice, but because he has a celebrity quality about him, and please dont try to dispute this because it's true...otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the most votes during the polling out of all the remaining guys...

um not true the only thing donnie got going for himself is his ugly looks...nothing celebrity about his sensitive ass..quanell stayed more in front of the cameras than anybody else ..donnie might have a lil voice but not good enuff to make the band..the others who were in the topten that didnt made it are not forgettable..if diddy dont take them other artist will..and im sick of listening to white and black mixtures in the song ..which throws the whole r&b or hiphop off....like danity kane them whitegirls suck .i didnt buy that shit
