Sean (P. Diddy) Combs and Aretha Franklin are going to do a new “American-Idol” type talent show in 2009.
Instead of pop music, they’ll be searching for the new R&B and hip-hop talent.
I personally LOVE everything about this idea! I’m a huge fan of R&B and hip-hop, so to be able to view (and hear) young talent like we get to do on Idol would be sweet indeed. Also, how GREAT is it that Diddy and Aretha are doing this together? Love these two seperately, so I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the show.
PLUS, I think Diddy and Aretha each have strengths that could really help the young up and comers. Aretha’s voice is AMAZING (she even sings OPERA!) and Diddy has proven himself as a marketing mogul in music.
Their new show will NOT have fans vote for people, however. (I’m frowning as I write this…. you know I would have been on those phone lines in a second!)
