Nicole Scherzinger, Liam Payne, Kelly Rowland & AJ McLean team up for Netflix’s new show ‘Building the Band.’ Keep watching for all the details!
Tetris Kelly:
Liam Payne, AJ McLean, Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger know a thing or two about being in a group. Nicole even had a hand in putting together Liam’s massively successful group One Direction. AJ is set to host the new program, while Nicole will serve as mentor and judge, alongside Kelly and Liam on the judging panel. ‘Building the Band’ will bring together a number of talented singers and task them with forming their own bands without ever seeing each other. Isolated in individual booths, all they’ll have to go on when selecting their bandmates is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit, according to a release. It’s giving ‘X Factor’ meets ‘Love Is Blind.’ The contestants are in good hands: AJ being a member of Backstreet Boys, Liam went through the reality show band-making machine on ‘X Factor,’ while both Kelly, of Destiny’s Child, and Nicole, of the Pussycat Dolls, served as judges on ‘X Factor.’ Nicole knows the other side of the dynamic as well. She was part of WB’s ‘Popstars,’ where they created her first girl group Eden’s Crush. Check out Billboard.com for all the details and the latest on ‘Building the Band.’
