Janet Jackson and MTV have announced a new reality show that has Janet taking the role of mentor as she chooses contestants to become the next great pop star. Producer of the show David Broome states “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.”¬†No word yet on when the show will air.
