Donnie Klang of MTB “Loves” JT Comparisons, “Anxious” About Dropping Debut

Written By Janelle Griffith

With the hit series “Making the Band” returning to MTV tonight and a debut album on the horizon, SOHH sat down with Diddy’s latest protégé, Donnie Klang, to find out how he’s preparing and what he thinks about being labeled the next Justin Timberlake.

Having been likened to fellow blue eyed soul singers like JT and Robin Thicke, Donnie insists that he tried to stay clear of the comparisons for his upcoming disc, Just A Rolling Stone, yet he’s still flattered by the association.

“I’d rather be compared to this artist [Justin] that’s extremely talented and sells multi-platinum album after multi-platinum album and could sell out arenas,” he said. “I take it in stride. I love it.”

After his fellow “MTB” alumni debuted at number one on the charts - Day 26 pushed 190,000 units their first week out while Danity Kane outsold the guys selling 236,000 discs - Donnie admits he is feeling the pressure to be as successful.

“It’s more so that I’m anxious,” he revealed. “I can’t wait ‘til it’s really out there and everybody could hear it front to back. I know there’s a lot of fans out there that have been waiting for a long time for it to come out and it’s finally coming.”

Just a Rolling Stone will feature production from The Dream, Seven, Mario Winans and Danja along with songwriting from The Clutch collective.

As for what fans can expect from this season of “Making the Band” Donnie said there is no shortage of drama.

“It was 11 of us crammed into one tour bus and we were in Vegas for about 5 days so what happens in Vegas will be on this season of ‘Making the Band.’”

Just A Rolling Stone hits stores September 2 and is available for pre-sale now on donnieklangonline.com while “Making The Band” premieres tonight on MTV at 9 p.m. EST/PT.

JT comparisons are a bit of a stretch I think.

JT? What the fuck, and dont expect a number 1 album like DK and Day 26, he dropping the same week as Jeezy, and also Games second week, so unless he plans on doing over 350k, he aint beating Jeezy out for the top spot, he will do 100k plus, Diddy will buy records for him, so 100 to 150k possibly.
