Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly provides a recap of the premiere episode of "Star." Apparently the launch shows Star Davis taking steps to fulfil her dream to be a famous singer. After turning 18, the aspiring artists left the foster home where she grew up after connecting to an online friend, Alexandra which can help bring her vision of success to fruition.

While waiting for their big break, the three girls will be under the care of Carlotta (Queen Latifah) who is salon owner with a gay daughter, Cotton.

Determined to find a manager for their girl group, Star went to a strip club and performed after Jahil Rivera (Bratt). In an effort to show Jahil what their group can offer, this episode will show the trio performed an impressive number.
