Janet Jackson Downgrades to Reality TV

Janet Jackson has a new reality show scheduled to launch this fall that will focus on a group of aspiring singers and dancers compete for an undisclosed prize. Janet will act as an ‘mentor’ to the singer and dancers. According to Variety, the untitled show on 25/7 Productions for MTV will begin filming this summer. 

Executive producer Dave Broome hints at the show searching for the next big star. "It’s really about finding who’s the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher. And we’ll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn’t typically find them from," he said. "We’ll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centers and try to cast the show."

Rather than the typical set-up of shows like Diddy’s Making The Band series, the program is expected to take place in various street locales instead of soundstages, with a possibility of even occurring during Jackson’s world tour.
