'American Idol': Fans want judges to be more strict, give out better criticism and introduce new styles

Fans think the judges at 'American Idol' are a bit too nice and need to push contestants out of their comfort zone
PUBLISHED JAN 16, 2019

'American Idol' returns to ABC on March 3 for season 17 and will see a comeback from Ryan Seacrest to once again host the reality TV competition series this year. Country music star Luke Bryan, music icon Lionel Richie and singer-songwriter Katy Perry will also return to the show as judges.

With just a little over a month left for the show to premiere, fans cannot wait to see who will be taking home the title. And though it was reported recently that fans applaud the competition series for bringing out amazing talent and claim 'The Voice' is filled with drama caused mainly by the judges, they also think that the judges at 'American Idol' are a bit too nice and need to push contestants out of their comfort zone.
