Making The Band ( Yeah again)

*MTV and Sean "Diddy" Combs began a nationwide search Wednesday to find young men for MTV’s returning hit series "Making the Band 4," which will follow the hip hop mogul as he works to launch an all-new boy band.
In the last season of "Making the Band 3," Diddy created the successful all girl band "Danity Kane" whose album debuted at number one. The show documented the journey of Aubrey, D. Woods, Aundrea, Dawn and Shannon as they recorded their first album together under the guidance and expertise of Diddy. Danity Kane is currently on tap to open for Christina Aguilera on her upcoming tour.
Audition locations for "Making The Band 4" are listed below. Hopefuls who are unable to make any of the open calls may log onto http://makingtheband.mtv.com and upload their singing audition for the world to see.
Viewers will have until Jan. 27 to vote for their favorites. Twenty-five candidates will be selected to move on to Round Two, where they'll upload a dance audition. Round Two voting concludes on Feb. 6. Producers will reward three finalists with the opportunity to audition in person for Diddy.
