CREATE Chasing Destiny (Season 2): The Male Edition!


CREATE Chasing Destiny (Season 2): The Male Edition!
The Issue
If you haven't already heard, singer, Kelly Rowland and creative director, Frank Gatson teamed up to create a show called "Chasing Destiny" on BET Network. The 10 episode docu-series took viewers through the raw process of finding and molding the next big R&B girl group. The first episode brought in 720,000 viewers with an average of 431,000+ viewers tuning in for each episode after. The shows purpose was to not only bring more of real R&B back, but to bring back the comaraderie and excitement of girl groups. Now that season one is over and we have our talented R&B girl group, June's Diary, formed and rising to the top, it's time to see what the males have up their sleeves. When I think about big and iconic R&B girl groups of the past like En Vogue, SWV, and Destiny's Child, I can't help but to think about the great R&B male groups like Boyz 2 Men, New Edition, Soul For Real, and Jodeci as well. In a time where real R&B is becoming more and more non-existent, we need to quickly make moves to get them back. We need to get back to a time where music had meaningful messages. A time where there were groups and they represented brotherhood and sisterhood, respect and love. It's time to make a male R&B group. Over the past couple of weeks since Chasing Destiny ended, i've seen so many males all over social media begging for a season 2, asking about auditions, ready and eager to share their craft. These males are driven, passionate, and hungry to help bring R&B back, just like the ladies of June's Diary. BET Network, please allow Kelly and Frank to create a season 2 of Chasing Destiny. With the mentorship of Kelly and Frank, we can have two R&B groups impacting a generation that is in desperate need of seeing artists that convey diversity and love for one another. The females were given a chance to follow their dreams. Please give these males a chance to follow theirs. Hopefully, one day, we can say that we love and support June's Diary AND __________. There is no such thing as too much real R&B. We need it and it will have an impact. Thank you, BET.
