Big Break was an American talent contest television show hosted by singer Natalie Cole.[1] The weekly one-hour program featured singers and musicians competing for a $100,000 prize with guest appearances. Winners from each week competed in the semi-finals and then the final; voting was done by the studio audience.[2] R&B singer-songwriter and record producer R. Kelly won the prize before his stardom as a member of the group MGM (Mentally Gifted Men).[3][4] The show lasted for one season.
Celebrity guests who appeared on the show include Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, Bill Cosby, MC Hammer, Michael McDonald, and Regina Belle.[2][5]
