My Everything 23,397 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 ABC Orders ‘Boy Band’ Singing-Competition Series ABC is jumping back into the reality singing-competition genre and adding a twist. The network has given a 10-episode series order to “Boy Band,†a show that will pit singers against one another in a battle to join the next music-group sensation, Variety has learned exclusively. Produced by Matador Content (“Lip Sync Battleâ€), the series is set to debut this summer on the Alphabet. No host or judges have been selected yet, but insiders say that ABC is out to a number of boy-band and girl-band members past and present for the role of host and for the judges panel. The judges will be called “architects,†and will serve as mentors. Performers will compete for spots in a band with a recording contract at Hollywood Records, with viewers voting live at home for their five favorite potential members. “Boy Band†will be executive produced by Todd Lubin, Jay Peterson, Jane Mun, and Joel Relampagos. No hit musical act has been launched by a singing-competition series since One Direction appeared on the U.K. version of “The X Factor†in 2010 and Fifth Harmony appeared on the same show in 2012.

jellyjelly 61 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Why are people so salty about this? You'd be all over it if it was China or Japan, but forbid the Americans doing it. But.. then again, Americans only care about good singers. Not the actors, rappers, and dancers. Which is disappointing. Just how One Direction is disappointing.

They're just pressed it's America lmao. It's okay if Japan AND Korea does it but it's suddenly not okay if the u.s does it lmao. Hypocrites.

Anri Sonohara 1,706 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm going to give it a chance I just hope the talent is more than just vocals because one direction had nice songs but they are boring af overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
