Nicole Scherzinger to battle Simon Cowell as she signs up for new Netflix talent show
Netflix has tapped Nicole Scherzinger (The Pussycat Dolls) to serve as a mentor and judge for its upcoming music competition series Building the Band. She will be joined on the judging panel by One Direction's Liam Payne and Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland. Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean will serve as host.
The series will begin filming this summer. Additional guest judges and various challenges will be announced later.
Building the Band sets out to discover the next great musical group without the band members meeting face-to-face. In the series, the singers are in complete control as they attempt to form their own bands in individual booths without ever seeing each other. All they have is musical compatibility, connection, chemistry and merit. What will happen when the bands finally meet and looks, choreography and style come into play?
