Is it too late too sign up for making the band 4 auditions? Are there any auditions for it coming up? Please let me knoe because i am very hungry to share my music with the world and i am the definition of a dope mc. Ans plus i dont rap about killing people or anything like that. I rap about life and what i've been through,girls, and parties, though i can write about anything and i can also write r&b. Please inform me asap. Thank you for your time.

was wondering how old you have to be for the making the band 4 I am 17 years old and singing is my life. Always wished since I was a little boy.I could be a singer.One of thes se days, I'LL try to get in someones studio. Its just hard when your struggling. But I pray about it every night.Can Diddy read my message?Diddy is relly a influence to me .We really dont have any reppin VA. I'm from portsmouth VA, and everyone here knows about my talent.I really feel my twin and I are ment to sing . Theres nothing better we can do than sining.

I am so disappointed in Diddy for not picking Sam. He could have made the show more interesting and diverse, but no, he had to stay lame by reasoning of- “Sam doesn’t fit into the groups visual look” Oh, really but over weight, unattractive, non groomed men do?!?! Only 6 of the 20 men are attractive or unique looking and the rest are waste of space and air time. No wonder Pussy Cat Dolls out sold Danity Kane 5 to 1, and no wonder “Push Play” was slept on. He has lost all sense of what women want and the diverse American public. TAKE A SEAT DIDDY…your reign is coming to an end.
