Season 20 of ‘American Idol’ has served a lot of drama to their loyal fans in the last four episodes and it is only going to get bigger with their fifth episode as it is the last one before the Hollywood week kicks off. Judges namely Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan have been extremely picky when it comes to handing over the golden ticket and the newly-introduced platinum ticket.
 
While the music lovers enjoyed the auditions of Haley Slaton, Douglas Mills Jr., Sam Moss, and Thomas Patrick Moran among a few others in the fourth episode, the fifth one will keep them hooked to the show when a contestant named Tobias will hit the stage. The singer, who goes by the stage name of Prince Tch, enjoys a massive fan following as compared to his counterparts on the show. Morgan Gruber, Jay, Saylor are some of the singers who will be seen in the latest.
