00:00Hello world you know I'm here at the Samsung event you know we're here holding an audition
00:07here in New Orleans I'm so excited for these young ladies if they get they meet Kelly Rowland
00:12tomorrow they don't know who the special guest is but it's Kelly Rowland and hopefully I've
00:15chosen some really great girls for Kelly to choose from my name is Frank Gadsden and we've teamed up
00:28with Samsung Galaxy to do an audition I've been very blessed to work with people like Michael
00:33Jackson Beyonce and Destiny's Child in Vogue is my claim to fame Kelly has brought me along because
00:39I think my gift is to see talent you know I saw Beyonce at age 15 and I said that was the second
00:43coming of Michael Jackson no one believed me Kelly and her husband Tim came to me and pitched this
00:48show to me what they were doing called Chasing Destiny and I've known Kelly since she was 15 I
00:53guess that's 15 years and she's always been like a sweet young lady to me but she's always respected
01:00how honest I was and how I had this gift to see talent so she feels like she and myself can really
01:06search out really talented young ladies to make a great group today at this audition what I'm looking
01:10for you know people always say the it factor star quality I'm looking for magic I'm looking for magic
01:16and honesty so my goal is to get a female group together they can end up hating each other but
01:24stay together and do the business we just want to be different we don't want to be like American Idol
01:28we don't want to be like X Factor we want to go out and search people and we're going to try to put
01:32together a group you know it could end up in a rap group it could end up in a group like En Vogue it
01:36could end up being a group like Destiny's Child but we're just going to let it happen organically a lot of
01:40times what I find real artists don't like to audition for reality shows and contest shows so
01:47we're not trying to do that we're trying to do like doctor style we're trying to go out and just
01:51really search I'm not trying to do anything fake I'm not trying to do anything scripted so today is the
01:58beginning of that I just love show business I'm so blessed that I've got to work with amazing artists
02:02so now that I have this platform with Kelly I want to make history I just want to help people I just want
02:09people to have fun at what I've done for the last 30 years sometimes I've got to pinch myself to
02:13know that I'm really doing it I'm just a regular guy who loves show business and hopefully I can let
02:19these young ladies relax today and hopefully get the opportunity of a lifetime thank you Samson say thank
02:25you ladies and we're gonna see eight ladies tomorrow with our special guests at the convention
