There are\u00a0reality music competitions where groups get put together.\u00a0And there’s\u00a0Love Is Blind,<\/em> where people get engaged without ever meeting each other. Now Netflix has found a way to combine those two concepts in a new reality music competition called Building the Band<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Backstreet Boys<\/strong>‘ AJ McLean<\/strong>, the show aims to put together a music group without any of the members ever seeing each other. According to Netflix, the contestants will get the opportunity to “find their perfect bandmates solely based on musical compatibility, connection, and, most importantly, merit.”<\/p>\n

The judges include two artists from groups who were put together by others \u2014\u00a0Nicole Scherzinger<\/strong> of The Pussycats Dolls<\/strong> and Liam Payne<\/strong> of One Direction<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 plus Kelly Rowland<\/strong> of Destiny’s Child<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The participation of both Nicole and Liam is somewhat ironic, given that when Nicole was a judge on The X Factor<\/em>, she was the one who suggested putting Liam together with Niall Horan<\/strong>, Zayn Malik<\/strong>, Louis Tomlinson <\/strong>and Harry Styles<\/strong> to form One Direction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to Netflix, the bands will eventually meet on the show, and of course drama will ensue over looks, choreography and style. Filming is set to start this summer; no premiere date has been announced.<\/p>\n
