MTB 4 Season Finale... Or, At Least, You *THINK* It Is...
Posted on August 7, 2007 9:00 AM
Aight. I'm opening up the floor for discussion. You can't avoid it this time around.
Just when you thought Diddy couldn't reach any higher level of insanity...
He goes and pulls ANOTHER trick out of his sleeve. And another one, what what.
I SURE AS HELL DIDN'T SEE THAT SH!T COMING!
Before I can get to that, let me just go on and discuss the notable & mentionable things I found with this episode.. because (up until, about, 10:55 p.m. last night) it was your typical "big performance/showdown/let's get the guys a makeover and hear them sing one mo'gin before I make a decision" type episode. You know the kind.
Sooo...the boys first reunite at the gym. Is it worse that I noticed that
a) Robert still sounds like he's being d!cked in the a$$ by his boy-girlfriend Junie;
b) Brian A. sounds JUST like that smurf-like comedian Kevin Hart; or
c) The big dramatic entrance is Big Mike's of course. But, umm, I know I dont have the GREATEST vision in the world... but all these dudes were acting like Mike developed a crack habit, the way they said he was so skinny. He still looked like a ghetto, chocolate-brown Ooompa-Loompa to me. YOU STILL CAN'T SEE HIS NECK!!
So, things get a lil' tense and tight because our guys are going to opening up for NEW EDITION at the famed Beacon Theater in NYC. This, of course, calls for a rehearsal with Ankh-Ra. Now let me tell you something about Ankh-Ra. I have to honestly say that I respected this man throughout the season, because, like he said, "[he] wasn't trying to clown anybody." Don't be mad because he calls you out when you slippin'. Trust me, he don't have any Star Kitty tendencies. He don't act out for the camera.
A.R. splits the guys into two groups, and they will perform "I Want You (Exclusive)" as the opening act. I hate to admit it, but I'm REALLY starting to like this song.
To sum up the performances... the first group with Donnie and Big Mike was better vocally.... the second group, I didnt catch who it was that opened up his shirt, but it was kind of a good look.
But check it! I'm mad these guys were arguing over who should've taken off their shirt in concert-- THIS HAS TO BE THE GAYEST MOMENT OF THE ENTIRE SEASON.
I know all of y'all peeped this episode, so I won't go into any more extraneous sh!t, because you all want to get to the ending. I won't talk about how these guys b**ched and moaned worse than women when Diddy's barber Curtis had to give them makeovers (to their defense, no one likes to be told their look sucks... especially if it really DOES). I guess after the Babs incident of 2003, Diddy got smart and decided to beat the guys to the punch. Can't get mad at him for that.
Now let's talk about this f*cked up game of Connect Four that P. Sh*tty decides to play when he's supposed to be making a decision. I mean, he had me gassed, when he started calling names to come up front, I was like, "Nooo! I don't want Brian H. in the group!" But then he has them sing-- AGAIN-- and I like the way the editors did the block paneling so that we saw three singers at a time. BUT THEN... THEN...
This pompous muthaf*cka walks OUT of the studio, then airs a "PSA" announcing that this ain't REALLY the end... that we, the viewers get to vote for who WE want in the band and there will be a LIVE FINALE on August 28th.
What I think, sarcastically: People with ADHD can't make rational decisions, did you know that?
What I REALLY think: All of these guys are good, and are equally flawed in SOME area. Thus, its hard to X one and not X the other.
So what's your opinion of the episode? Do you agree/disagree with the way it ended? What did you think of the performances, of Robert losing his breath, of Dyshon going against the grain with wardrobes? And most importantly, ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE? Who do YOU want.. exclusive(ly)?
Free your minds below!
Sigh... Big Mike, i been rooting for you all season long, and Donnie, I love your voice and your bedroom eyes be killing me. But if I do vote, I might have to vote for Robert-- whoo! That curly look is working for me, baby. Too bad we all know you're in the closet-- it would be on and poppin' like Lil' Mama in the cafeteria.
******VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ********Today, around 1pm, MTV's TRL will be hosting the Video Music Awards nomination ceremony. And guess who's going to blog LIVE from the event? Yep, ya girl Breezy! I will be posting sporadically throughout the day on every little thing I see, and about the announced nominees. There's also going to be a special performance that I can't wait to see, 'cuz you can't tell him nothing about sh*t! KEEP CHECKING IN THROUGHOUT THE DAY!!!

1) So what's your opinion of the episode?
2) Do you agree/disagree with the way it ended?
3) What did you think of the performances, of Robert losing his breath, of Dyshon going against the grain with wardrobes?
4) ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE? Who do YOU want.. exclusive(ly)?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1) Episode was okay, I so f*ckin shock when Big Mike came out... and when they was getting hair cuts b!tching and moaning that was some funny shit too.
2) I agree/disagree. I agree because I dont like Diddy but give the man propz he's a business man and with people picking the band, may lead to more album selling because they get to see their favorite person (or who they picked) in the group. I disagree because i wasnted to know who mad the Damn band.
3) They were pretty good I thought Big (now skinny) Mike group was the best... but group 2 won the performance.
4) I might vote but if i vote im voting for Big (Skinny) Mike, and that D.C n!gga
Uhhh Breezy,
Rob's not gay.... so your dream of getting smutted by him is still alive. How do i know? Because i know him and have worked on music with him... back when he was in a group and signed by Wyclef.

To be honest all the guys have talent, but if i had to pick my four it would be: Brain A.,Michael,willie,and robert.
All of the guys do have talent and I think it's going to be a hard decision. The episode was ok and I love their song already.
I beleive that all the guys have tons of talent. However, I don't want Diddy to ruin their lives similar to the way he has done to all his other artists. Especially those who are the most talented, such as Big Mike. The guys that I think diddy should put in the band are
Willie- to me he is just looks and he will sell
Donnie- Diddy loves the white and all the teeny popper teenage white girls would love him too
DeAngelo- he's talented, they need atleast one person who could actually sing
Robert- he is straight.
I don't think diddy should waist good talent. I am not saying that these guys ain't talented, but to me they weren't the best. We all know that diddy like to waist talent, so it's best that he uses the least talented people. Overall, within a year he's going to forget all about these guys. I think they should find another way out!!
the group: donnie, lil mike, willie & robert. Donnie is gon bring the white fan base.

"MTB 4" was HILARIOUS last night!
I couldn't take it when they was at the shop gettin makeovers!
I was very upset with the ending of the episode because I was expecting to see a band. But I'm cool with the fact that I get to vote for a few people too! I would choose: Big Mike, Willie, Robert, and Donnie. I honestly think he should choose 5 guys for the group.

I would probably do what Diddy did with the girls 2 seasons ago. . .have them leave and get some new talent.
But if I had to choose right now. . .
My pick:
1. Willie (brought the sexy back)
2. Donnie (contrary to what he thinks, dude is not pretty but he did get big and the white girls will love him)
3. Quannel (the young girls will like him but he needs to do somthing with those choppers)
4. Jeremy (but please don't let him talk b/c he sounds like he was born in a pumpkin patch)
If it's a 5 man group -- either Robert or Deangelo can round out the band.
5. Robert can sing but I just can't seem to get with that kid. And the curly top. . .When was the last time Diddy rocked that -- -1998? Ya boy is playing Rob harder than June.
5. Deangleo seems cool, fits well in the group. . .but will the ladies love him? Unfortunatley, I think that Robert has more appeal.
***Big/Lil Mike is still too fat; and just not sexy AT ALL.
***Tall Brian is a cry baby. He actually admitted that he wanted to fight over his lame hair. . .WHAT?!?!? I think Diddy said that he could hang out with that dude. Figures. . .
***Short Brian is too short
***Dyshon wore a white jacket. Nuff said.
Having fans vote is no real predictor of album sales . . .look at american idol. People might vote for someone that they feel sorry for, have a personal connection, but it don't automatically transalate to someone spending $13.00.
We'll see. . .
don't get it twisted people...diddy just wants the people to vote to see who the people are favoring. at the end of the day, the decision rests in his hands. i hope deangelo makes it...i'm gonna be voting for him while everyone else gon be voting for the willie's n the donnie's n the que's. Deangelo, Brian H. and Jeremy are at the top of my list right now...I hope at least one of them makes it.
The band should be:
1. Big Mike
2. Robert
3. Donnie
4. Willie
Period...
MY PICKS FOR THE GROUP ARE
DONNIE
BIG MIKE
WILLIE
QWANNELL
ALL OF THE CAN REALLY SING AND ALL ARE MARKETABLE.
THE REST OF THEM CAN SING BUT THEY AREN'T APPEALING. BESIDES ROBERT AND DYSHON I CAN'T TELL U THEIR NAMES.
BESIDES DYSHON AND THE WARDROBE SITUATION LEFT A BAD IMPRESSION THAT HE HAD TO STAND OUT. WHICH HE DID AND LOOKED LIKE AN ASS.
ROBERT LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE DYLAN TO ME LMAO
Robert is a joke. Did you see the dude's outfit and all that fake jewelry? Please send that lame how. Dude is whack
Mike is still fat
Brian (tey ghey) Cried about HIS singing cried about cutting his hair.
Dyshon will be better as a solo artist b/c he's got a soulful voice. Not that kiddie pop sound that the group's gonna have.
.
Group should be
Willie
Donnie
Short cat with braids
Fill in the blank.....
Diddy went out like a punk bitch last night!!! How in the hell are you going to ask people to vote for who should be in the group? Be the boss that you are and make the executive decision. I believe some might get in on look alone. Don't get me wrong I know you hve to sell something but, vocally some can go and because of attitude some can go.
Brian H.- That kid won't make it on his fucking crying/attitude. Boom Kat yo ass on with Laurie Ann.
Dyshon- even though I like his voice...the white jacket debacle will hurt his chances for lack of team spirit.
Donnie- he's getting in strictly because of the power of the white dollar (Puff ain't stupid)
Qwanell- he may get in because of dancing (him and Donnie need to step up the vocal game)
Robert- he has to get in because that kid can blow
Mike- he can blow as well, plus he has a likeable factor to him
Jeremey- I've seen him but don't remeber much about him (not a good thing)Boom Kat yo ass outta here beeyatch!!
Deangelo-not much of a look but the kid can blow
Brian A-he's pretty much the anchor of the group
Willie- he'll get in because he can really sing and chicks dig him.
Puff may have to make this a 5 man group
First of all, I thought Diddy was going to mess up the whole daggone season by seeing "I'm not picking anyone but thank you for coming" cuz he took so long, the suspense was killing me too. I felt confused afterwards (still miss Lauri Ann though) Loved the photoshoot, good look - now the barbershop scene was hilarious, these guys were acting worse then women. Get over yourselves.
do u guys remember when they were gettin their hair cut then robert called his mom to tell him that they cut off all his hair (after he was growin it out for 7 years) n his mom was just like .... what did they do to will? n robert said nuttin, then his mom said thank God .... that shit was so funny haha
I'm pulling for Qwanell, Willie, Robert, and Donnie to make the band. I am in love wit Que for some reason and he can dance, Willie is fine and his swagger is in full force, Donnie has that pretty boy band thing goin' on and he will have a lot of girl fans, and Robert's pipes are just MADNESS.
Diddy though, IDK why he thinks it's cute to dip out like that acting all theatrical and whatnot... I like that we've got a say but seriously, dude needs to relax.
Yes Im goin to watch but at the same time be very disappointed after they drop there first album. I mean think about it Dream, Da Band, Babes, Ness, Danity Kane and now them. He's gon fuck over them so damn good. Use there talent to get one album, some sells and money from them then forget about them. I wouldnt call the guys stupid for tryin to make the band but I do think they should hav did there homework on the man that seems to be never satified. But yea I'll vote (Big Country Mike, Donnie, Qwanell, Brian H and ... ) even tho Diddy gon fuck them over
I was really shocked when i found out the finale aint till the 26th but i agree cuz its going to be more exciting to watch on the 26th.
but Michael i agree does still look fat and he is not attractive and i dont care if you can sing but if you dont look good i aint gonna pay for some concert tickets to come see you. Cuz when he was on that stage tryin to do some so called sexy moves for the ladies i turned the channel cuz that was horrifyin. I think Brian A. and Jeremy shouldnt get picked in the group cuz to me they act and talk a lil sweet. To me Robert, Willie, Qwannell, Brian H. or DeAngelo or maybe Donnie should be picked.
i already knew this wasn't the last show... how because mtv had the voting thing up before the show aired so i made an easy 200.00 bucks from roomates because i knew no one was getting picked..
i was glad the show didn't end because the season went by too fast and honestly ain't nothing else to watch. i should have known that it wasn't the end though b/c Diddy always do a big finale at the end. it's going to be a 5 member band:
Big Mike
Willie
Robert
Qwnell
Donnie/Brain A.
I hated that I was lead to believe it was the finale, but otherwise the episode was cool.
I think there is going to be a 5 member group and the audience will be allowed to pick the 5th member. No way is Puffy letting the public pick this band. Here's who I hope makes the band....
Dyshon
Willie
Robert
Qwanell
Big Mike
So much to say, so little time...
1 People are saying that Mike won't make it "because he's not attractive" and nobody buys tickets to see someone whose not cute. Newsflash: Boyz 2 Men, Dru Hill, New Edition, 112. And check Mike's myspace: he's getting groupie love.
2Deangelo isn't much to look at? When he auditioned in DC with the braids and the braces and the whole DC style, I was feeling him. I'll take Deangelo over Donnie and Willie's swole-up, been in the gym for three hours sword-fighting-with-other-gym-rats behinds. Deangelo is attractive because he has his own style and stays in his own lane. He is one of the three dudes on the show who hasn't acted like a straight b*tch.
3 I was rooting for Dyshon cuz he's from Philly and his voice is straight old-school but the white jacket thing WAS a straight turn-off. Might as well had taken his shirt off like dude in BB Kings. He played himself so bad.
4 Robert looks like a lesbian. And I thought that he was a straight cornball because of how he dresses (did y'all peep the rubies in the back of his braids when he was talking to Puff? The dudes in the house were probably laughing their a*ses off when he left the house looking like that. Somebody should have told him) But then I figured maybe that's how they dress in Detroit and Puff did tell them to come back looking like Superstars.
5 I used to like Qwanell until he showed his cornball side with the sideburns. But then again, he's only 18
6 Don't sleep on Jeremy. He's quiet, but he has a voice like noone else in the house. And I think that he benefitted the most from the makeover. He looked kind of nice. So what if he doesn't get camera time, he is the only new dude who made it. He's fire: peep how he was washing dishes and rehearsing the song
7 Anhk Ra (the most level headed person there and the only one who wasn't acting like Puff's prison b*tch): Brian must've fell and bumped his head. Mike took his criticism, so did Deangelo. Like Ra said, "Don't do it"
And last: Puffy, you know what I'm going to say to you.
Well, I did think that the last episode was a shocker, but like y'll sad it guess it was done in true diddy fashion. Now, to the group, I have liked (since the beginning and would pick: Brian A. (my #1 overall from day one), Robert, DeAngelo, & Brian H. My alternates are: Willie & Quawnell. I just like these guys physically and vocally. In my opinion, I do think that Brian A. & De'Angelo has the best voices over all and Quawnell has the dancing on loc. However, all 10 of the guys have so talented. Also in my opinion, I do think it's somewhat know that Willie, Robert, & Brian A. have good chances of making the band; they have really shined thoughtout the competition and they seem to be favorties among everyone, especially Willie. I just hope & pray that my boyz make it.
The show was great ! Robert in the barber shop was soooo cute. His dimples melt my heart. Robert's mom asking about Will was funny. Seems like she has meet him over the 2 month break. We know Robert went to Chicago and did a show with Will.
My band would be:
Willie
Robert
Brian A
Big Mike
if a 5th person then
Donnie or DeAngelo
the group should be
robert
donnie
jeremy
quanell
and if there was a fifth
anyone but mike
hes concieted and all he wants is some women.
i think da group will consist of
Donnie
Brian A.
Robert (my baby)
Willie
Qwuanell
fuck wit ya heard...i put money on that shit
group should be
Donnie
Willie
Big MIke
Brian A
Donnie,Qwanell, Robert, Willie,
