Unlike any other Singing reality show on TV, ETC’s new show The Next holds no auditions and has no judges. What it does have is star power.Featuring Superstars Joe Jonas from the pop act The Jonas Brothers,rapper Nelly, pop legend Gloria Estefan and country star John Rich as mentors, the four travel across the U.S. to find and groom up-and-coming musicians so that they can take the next step in their career. The Next: Fame Is At Your Doorstep is aired on Wednesdays @7PM beginning September 12.

Visiting the cities of Orlando, Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles, the four mentors will find aspiring singers who have not only made a name for themselves in their home towns but also have a following on Twitter, Facebook or are regulars at the hottest clubs.
