Queen Latifah to Launch New CW Singing Competition

posted in: Music News

Finally getting into the game, the CW is set to launch the newest TV singing competition The Star Next Door. The show is going to feature Gloria Estefan and John Rich as well as Queen Latifah, who is co-producing the show with Dave Broome (creator of The Biggest Loser).

But what makes this show different from all the other competitions out there? The official press release says, “In this new take on the music competition genre, superstar mentors, including pop legend Gloria Estefan and country star John Rich, will travel to where the talent is, immersing themselves in the lives and towns of these local performers and preparing them for a chance to represent their home city on stage, live, in front of America.” The Star Next Door is set to air sometime this summer. We’re all just going to have to wait a little longer for Just Wright 2.
