In the first LIVE episode of the season, “Boy Band” will celebrate #1 song, opening the show with a tribute to the greatest boy bands of all time. Then we will follow three new groups of five as they rehearse and prepare to perform LIVE before architects Emma Bunton, Nick Carter and Timbaland. The architects are then faced with the arduous task of selecting the bottom two contestants who will perform “battle songs” before America, hoping to earn a majority of votes that will keep them in the competition. Audiences at home will vote live to determine which young vocalist is safe and will continue on their journey to stardom.
