After being the mastermind behind the career of one of the most successful girl groups of the decade, Destiny's Child, Mathew Knowles is set to showcase his newest girl act, From Above, in a new MTV reality series, "Breaking From Above."

In conjunction with Knowles' label, Music World Entertainment, the series will follow the five UK natives (Ashley, Daisy, Seyi, Chelsey and Monique) as they go through the mogul's artist development program, which consist of hardcore physical, vocal, media and choreography training.

Upon their arrival to Houston for Knowles' "Star Power Boot Camp" the girls quickly learn that two new members, Jasmine & Brandy, are living in the house with them and are all in competition for a spot in From Above, according to the show's press release.

Music World Music will release the group's debut album , "Breaking From Above", digitally on December 12. The show's theme song "Work," along with their first single "Not The Same Girl," will be released digitally on November 29.

"Breaking From Above" premieres in 160 countries the week of November 13th and will not air in the U.S.

If you're introduced in the US by reality show first, you will not succeed. It's just an automatic death kill. We don't need to know all of yourself personal life. Just your talent and not meaning anything how good your in bed or going off on someone.

They want that basketball wives, Kardashian fan base.

I will agree with that because that fan base represents the "consumer fools" of the buying sector. People who aren't able separate the smoke and mirrors from reality.

Why would anyone strive to be like Joe Jackson? Sit down somewhere Mr. Knowles.

I hope these young people will have bigger success than the groups that Sean Combs had anything to do with.
