P Diddy's Starmaker Episode 2 (Part 4)

Sean "Diddy" Combs and reality television visionary Mark Burnett join forces to produce P. Diddy's Starmaker -- an innovative performance elimination show that brings together the best elements of reality television under one roof: linking the explosive reality of young talent desperate to become stars with the excitement of on-stage competition. P. Diddy's Starmaker is the only show that gives viewers a backstage pass to see the real life drama behind the scenes as seven guys and seven girls battle it out for the superstar opportunity of a lifetime -- a deal with Diddy's Bad Boy Records label.

Diddy has not only made a name for himself as an entertainment mogul but has proven his capabilities for nurturing talented and driven performers -- from the legendary Notorious B.I.G. to the chart topping Danity Kane (on MTV's Making the Band). Diddy has had years of experience with the ins and outs of making a reality show, and this time he has handpicked an elite team of industry heavyweights who will groom and judge these 14 aspiring singers over the course of 10 weeks of P. Diddy's Starmaker assignments. These assignments will give the contestants hands-on experience of the challenges aspiring superstars face by placing them in real life situations of the music business.

All 14 P. Diddy's Starmaker performers live together in a Los Angeles mansion (featuring custom furniture by Gus Design) where romantic relationships, alliances and arguments flare up as the hopefuls navigate their way to stardom.

Former American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell serves as the host of P. Diddy's Starmaker, while the contestants will be judged by the likes of performer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, music industry executive Tamara Conniff and choreographer Laurie Ann Gibson. Additionally, celebrity guest judges Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Nicole Scherzinger (Pussy Cat Dolls), Lady Gaga and Kelly Rowland will also weigh in over the course of the competition. Noted artist manager Johnny Wright will mentor the contestants along the way and guide each one through the P. Diddy's Starmaker process, just as he guides his real life superstar clients like Justin Timberlake and the Jonas Brothers.

Don't miss a minute of the P. Diddy's Starmaker journey, because when it's over, you'll be looking at the next big thing.

this is what happens when you sing a miley cyrus song.

[SoloKid2006]

I know what you mean!! I really felt for her cos she actually exchanged the song "Better in Time" she was gonna do with Lauriana!! And she said it! She it better not be screwing her self and she ended up doin that!! I think she should have stood her ground and kept her original choice!!

[vang0708]

Stuuuupid. They voted Marissa off because she was too nice. Doesn't make good television if there's no drama in the house. Same reason why they kept Melody. Drama = good television. And Monet? Bitch please, that girl can't sing worth shit. They kept her because they needed a fake-ass "surprise" moment. The "I bet you thought she was the worst huh? ..... Gotcha!"

Bullshit.

[sgelsey]

Melody: "She did exactly what she wanted to do"... ?!?!?!?!? Ummm no YOU did exactly what she wanted to do LOSER!... I love Rodney Jerkins - he is so the guy for the job. He is so qualified!... Why are the girls hatin' on Monet I thought she killed it...

Now they know they could've sent that other girl home and gave Marissa a second chance because the other girl does not have the potential to make it to the end.

[sgelsey]

@SoloKid2006 Yeah I agree. I think they all should have stood their ground to annoying Melody. I didn't even think her arrangment was that good.

[o0ber]

I have to say the whole "backstage look" into the contestants would make Idol 10x more interesting.

[SkittlezAddict4Eva]

Am i the only one who thinks these judges are COMPLETELY OFF, i mean wtf, since when was Monet one to beat?! She cant even hold a note without sounding weak!! That song was probably one of the easiest to sing and yet she sounded terrible and apparently SHE's the one to beat?! Pssshhh..WHATEVER, these judges don't know what they're talking about!

[luckyjamal]
