The Ride has an interview with Liz Davis of "P. Diddy's StarMaker."
As a 6th grader living in Hoover, AL, Liz took her karaoke machine to a soundproof room in her house and began working on her craft in earnest. When she felt she was ready to move her act from the room to the stage, Liz signed up for a talent show. The song she sang was”Blue” by LeeAnn Rhimes. Liz had even taught herself to yodel exactly like Rhimes. “I wasn’t coming out of that room until I perfected the song,” Liz laughed. She “blew everybody away” including her mother and father who had no idea their daughter had such talent. Her mom, who videotaped the performance on her camcorder, became Liz’s biggest fan. “She took me to talent shows everywhere..[I started singing] and I haven’t stopped.”

On tonight's episode of "P. Diddy's StarMaker," Angel Inez was eliminated after her performance of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love." In the end, it was between her and Melody Angel and the judges decided to keep Melody.
Ms. Inez was the first eliminated contestant to exit in a less than gracious manner. She was the first to criticize another contestant during her exit speech, saying she felt everyone was great, except for Monet Monico.
She continued this sentiment in MTV Remote Control farewell blog entry, where she said that the "judges' mistake was not in letting me go - it was in keeping me on StarMaker long enough to get people's attention ... Now I'm unstoppable!" In the closing paragraph of the entry, she takes shots at the judges, saying that she proved Tamara Conniff wrong and that "it's gonna feel even better when I prove Rodney wrong!"
Check out the clip below for a preview of the fourth episode of "P. Diddy's StarMaker," which will air on Sunday, September 6 at 10 PM ET.
It features Melody Angel and Angel Inez discussing fellow contestant Monet Monico, wondering why she is receiving praise when they are not. Speaking of the rest of the contestants, Inez says, "I belong in this competition, but I don't belong with these people. Like I'm never surrounding myself with people like them."
The clip closes with Melody and Angel confidently predicting that they will remain in the competition as Angel says that "one of them is going to go home."

Angela Zhu: How did you get on the show?
Monet Monico: I was doing a live chat, and one of my webmasters, Traci, told me that one of the casting people from the show saw me and wanted to know if I would like to audition. They set up a meeting for me. We went through a bunch of different processes, including going to New York and auditioning for Diddy himself! I guess they liked me, and I’m happy to say I am a part of P.Diddy’s StarMaker!
Thanks Shannon Ozbun for the tip.
On his Twitter, Diddy announced that the next episode of "Making His Band" will air on September 12 at 9 PM ET on MTV.
Via press release comes word that season 2 of "I Want to Work for Diddy" will premiere on November 2. Here's what it says about the show:
The economy may be in the tank but at least one person is still hiring... Diddy. The music mogul is back with a new batch of hopefuls vying to win one of the toughest yet most rewarding jobs in the business--P. Diddy's personal assistant. However, this isn't your average, run-of-the-mill hiring process. Through a rigorous series of physical, mental and entrepreneurial tests, one of hip-hop's most high profile CEO's will whittle down contestants until one proves themselves to be worthy of the title.
