Just in case you’re worried there aren’t enough singing shows already on television, you’re in luck. Another singing competition is coming to ABC, and they’ve tapped Ludacris to be one of the show’s judges. The show is called “Rising Star,” ABC’s alternative to Fox’s “American Idol” and NBC’s “The Voice.”

Ludacris will be joining Kesha and Brad Paisley as the show’s judges, and the competition will be hosted by Josh Groban. Look for Luda disturbing the TV live from L.A. starting June 22.
