Yeah I said it…EVERYBODY’s girl the Queen of R&B/ Hip-Hop Soul Mary J. Blige will be alongside American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe on a new talent competition titled Opening Act. This show is said to go through the Internet for videos made by unknown bands (talented) seeking a group to serve as the opening act for such known artists like Nicki Minaj, Gym Class Heroes, Rod Stewart, and more. From what I have read, the band/solo act will get the news of their big break in person by TV personality Olivia Lee (stars on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno) and will be brought to Hollywood for extreme boot-camp intense mentoring sessions with industry heavyweights.
Sounds interesting. Opening Act premieres July 9 on the E! network, 10pm ET.
