Though last year 'American Idol' secured lower ratings when compared to 'The Voice', this season, they are ready to win back their crown

'American Idol' is returning to ABC on March 3 for season 17 and Ryan Seacrest will be back this year hosting the reality TV competition series once again. Country music star Luke Bryan, music icon Lionel Richie and singer-songwriter Katy Perry will also return to the show as judges. And along with 'American Idol', 'The Voice' also returns for its 16th season on February 25. 

Though last year showed that 'American Idol' secured lower ratings as compared to 'The Voice', this year they are ready to win back the crown they wore in the glory days when the show first premiered on television. Fans seem to think so too, as they applaud the competition series for bringing out amazing talent and claim 'The Voice' is filled with drama caused mainly by the judges.
