UnlikeThe Voice, it’s not a cut-and-dry formula.
Its not a battle in which one wins and the other loses.
They both need to work as a pair to help each other succeed.
Until you realize you’ll be compared to all the other pairs.
The tension is real.
The drama is raw.
This is theAmerican Idolwe know and love!
The Season 23 Head-to-Heads hadsome exceptional television moments.
The emotions keep this round afloat.
‘American Idol’ Season 3’s shocking elimination caused a fury of complaints from fans.
Or prove why theyre even there.
Literally,he stands with the singers at their level, fulfilling the support they need at the moment.
He provides the comfort and guidance that thementors onThe Voicewish they could.
The personal approach is less formal, but it’s more beneficial to the hopefuls.
Plus, Jelly Roll is actually sticking around!
He’s not just there for a quick soundbite.
He’s standing on the side like a stage mom watching their children pursue their dreams.
Just imagine ifKate Hudsonstuck aroundThe Voicestudio after she fulfilled her obligation.
Never in a million years!
However, we do lose a key element in the new era ofAmerican Idol.
