According to Deadline John Legend is said to produce a music special which is in consideration to be a series at Showtime . The R&B singer hosts and executive produces the music special which recently taped at the EastWest Studios in Los Angeles. The yet to be titled show features popular artists from every genre to discuss their careers at length and perform an original music collaboration in front of a live studio audience. It sounds like it’s Behind The Music meets American Idol.
The first taping directed by Jesse Dylan (“Kicking & Screaming), son of music legend Bob Dylan, featured a live performance from country singer Faith Hill who sang her new song “You’re The One Who’s Waiting,” which of course was co-written by John Legend. More performers included rapper B.O.B. and John Legend who sang “Son of A Preacher Man” with Hill and B.O.B.
The next installment of the series is said to shoot before next week’s Grammy Awards. Executive producing this juggernaut are partners from his Get Lifted Film Co. Mike Jackson, Mike Tolin of Tolin Productions, RD Robb and Tom Carter, and Priscilla Cohen Wondros.
More details to be come! What do you think about this show? Will it bring a more humbled approach to reality television?
