Building The Band
Hosted by Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean, we got the first look at reality competition series Building The Band. The exclusive clip depicts singers going into booths to listen to each other audition and choose their own band mates… before ever even seeing each other! Alongside McLean are judges Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland, and the late Liam Payne.
Formerly of girl groups, Rowland and Scherzinger both have a keen eye for this kind of talent as seen in behind-the-scenes clips from The X Factor UK that revealed they were the masterminds behind putting together Little Mix and One Direction, respectively. They know what’s up! “You know what's funny is I just remember seeing all the ladies and I don't know if it's because of my DC days and just dealing with [what] that chemistry would feel like, but I knew what they felt like in my soul. I felt like I knew what they would look like all together and I went off my instincts, to be honest,” Rowland told Pop Culture Planet exclusively in an interview. “I’m so grateful that they trusted me [and] I’m so grateful that people also saw that video. Yeah, I put those girls together and they turned out great!”
