Jermaine Dupri and Taio Cruz are a few of the judges on the rotating panel featured on Bravo’s upcoming reality show “Platinum Hit.” The songwriting competition, hosted by Jewel and former “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi, also includes Leona Lewis, Donna Summer, RCA/Jive senior VP of A&R Keith Naftaly and Natasha Bedingfield on the judging panel.
The 10-episode competition, which premieres tonight (May 30th), takes 12 unknown songwriters who compete for a deal with Sony’s Jive/RCA imprint. Each week, the contestants will take on a songwriting assignment, such as writing a chorus about Los Angeles in a half-hour and completing the song in groups.
“Collaborations are essential to the show,” said Jewel. “It’s a battle of ideas to a complete song. The awkward moments that [arise during the collaborative process] are essential to making it watchable.”

Awhell, another one of these. Well it be a little different, I feel if they combine american idol with the voice’s guidence plus producers then they’ll have something, because singing other people songs is one thing but seeing how they could write and sing a song on a producer’s beat would be something to check out.

Like Julia Holcomb, whom Steven Tyler dumped after forcing her to undergo a horrific abortion procedure, my introduction into the adult world by Steven Tyler in my early teens was full of many unbelievable twists and turns. Steven’s strange eccentricities are nothing new. Like Julia, he wanted to take me on the road with Aerosmith. He offered me a non-specific job that I had no experience for because I was just a kid. When he said I had to get my parents to turn over guardianship to him so I could legally cross state lines with the band, I turned him down. I never knew what to think about it. After reading Julia’s recently published article ( http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/the-light-of-the-world-the-steve-tyler-and-julia-holcomb-story ), I’m even more confused.
