02/03: Making the Band 4 Band Name: Day 26

Category: Day26

Posted by: Patrick

Check out our Day26 section for more posts about Day26.

Last Sunday, I mentioned a blog post by mix engineer Ken Lewis, who said that the Making the Band 4 guys were now called 826 Boys. In the post, I cautioned that it should be taken as an unconfirmed rumor.

In an entry just past midnight, much earlier today, Lewis posts that they are now going by the name, "Day 26". ConcreteLoop.com confirms this, citing a radio interview. I like this name better.

And I believe that I have figured out the meaning of these names. Again, the first name we heard was 826 Boys. It didn't mean much to me. Now, we hear Day 26. Day 26 made me think of an actual day of the month. 826... 8/26... August 26. August 26, 2007 was the day when the band was made - when the guys were picked. August 26, 2007 is 8/26/07. 826. Day 26. Makes sense.

this is an idea that i have had for a couple years now and im really suprised no on has touched on this yet, seeing as how there is a reality tv show for everything from dancing, modeling, directing, singing, etc.... but i think Diddy should make a Making the Band 5 searching for the next big music producer. Imagine seeing the next Pharrel Williams or Timbaland develop on national tv. Think about it . I hope someone runs with this idea

i think day 26 is a majestic sounding name...it sounds like a name that will have longevity and of good quality.
i hope the guys can just pull it together

i wonder if Diddy is tryin 2 release the album so quick to beat Beyonce's 10 week for her album...

Now that I understand the name It is cool. They should have named the band "Michael is Fine" I would seriously leave my husband for him. Everytime he sings I get chill bumps. I

ummm...I agree with what Ricardo said.
They should of made the name more Urban...I feel like Day 26 sounds like a group of guys that try to imitate groups like 98 degrees, the backstreet boys, or N'Sync. Im really not feeling the name at all, but hopefully they'll make it catchy or even better...change their name at the last minute.

I think the name is hott just like Robert and Big Mike. Diddy you did it this time. The boys look and sound great. But I miss Brian Harris he was an exceptional singer and should have been a part of a band.

I think that name don't really matter long as the music is on point and they keep their fans lovin them. The sexiness and their voice of the the men will make up for the name.

Wassup... I think these guys can sing but thats it,they can sing... I pretty much know what are the hits when I hould be ear it and I'm not gettin it from these guys... I believe when you sing the audience should be able to visiualize and hear the story and I'm not getting that. Now don't get me wrong i'm not hating, I just want these guys to get where they want to get. When you sing you should know what you're singing about and these guys are just saying words with melodies and no emotions or feelings. When you get a new song look over it guys and visualize whats being said and trust me it will come out in your vocals... Be blessed...

Watching the show had me worried for Day 26. I couldn't really tell from watching the show if I would like the album. I knew from watching the making of Danity Kane that I would buy their album. I am going to buy it anyway, because I want to support them. Why didn't Diddy do for them, the way he gave Danity Kane someone to help them with Stage present, more vocal lessons to find themselves as a group, and a choregrahper when the show started this season. LOVE watching Making the Band, LOVE Danity Kane and hope Donnie does well. He sounds really good working with Seven.

To be honest, when I first heard that their group name was "Day26," I HATED IT!!!! But now that I know what the meaning of it is, I think it's has a good meaning, but i still think they should have a more hipped name. Something more catchy!

I bought the DAY26 CD today because I just loved them on the show. They came to a club I was at in Columbus, GA and that just solidified it for me. I looked dead in the eyes of Willie because I was second guessing myself when I thought it was them. Boy, was he cute!! I seen that in the show he had a girlfriend but I seen them on 106 & park and they said that they are all single! So did he break up with his girl? If so I'm available!!!I think Mike and Millie are the cutest. They are the hottest thing out right now!!

Just want to say I LOVE IS ALBUM!!!!!!! Day 26 or 826 has taken it back to the basics. Something that not a lot of music is doing right now. Everything is so popcorn. I understand the catchy thing has to be done to get a record some air play, however i feel they found a great balance! I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!!
