Fans Petition BET For Season 2 Of ‘Chasing Destiny’

Kelly Rowland and Frank Gatson had viewers hooked each week their BET talent search ‘Chasing Destiny.’

The end result of that journey saw the birth of Epic Records‘ newest girl-group June’s Diary.

Now, a month on from the season finale, fans have started a petition in hope’s of the show’s return.

There’s no official word on whether it’s received a pick-up, yet both Rowland and Gatson have expressed their desire to use a second cycle to create a male ensemble. A point the rally hopes to bring to fruition.

Full story below…

The petition, which was started by fan Tyrah Chanel, read:

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.
