If you love to sing or you imagine yourself as a successful singer, you will indeed know about ABC's 'American Idol', the original singing reality show. The 20th season of 'American Idol' is back on the screens with the same trio of judges - Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan along with host Ryan Seacrest.

However, Bobby Bones, one of the mentors, will not be returning to the ABC singing reality show after four seasons due to a conflict with another show. RY is one of the contestants who tried his luck in the previous season but could not make it to the golden ticket. This year, RY is all set to return on the stage with the hope to impress the panel of judges and grab back the golden ticket. If you are curious to know more about RY, you must continue reading.

Who is RY?

RY will be seen on the stage of 'American Idol' Season 20 competing to get the golden ticket. The big-voiced Chapel Hill, the Tennessee native, auditioned for 'American Idol' in the previous season but couldn't make it to the judge's audition round. But the question is, will he make it for the golden ticket? With every passing episode, the competition is getting tougher and difficult for the contestants to win the heart of the judges.

In one of the previous episodes, Maddie Glidewell, who gave a super-duper performance, couldn't impress the judges. Maddie Glidewell's voice was all over their place, and Katy also complimented her voice, but unluckily the other judges passed upon her. As a result, she couldn't make her way ahead in the show and was sent back home. Now, will RY be able to grab the ticket or not? If you are curious to know what happens with RY, then binging on the show is the perfect solution. 

'American Idol' Season 20 airs every Sunday at 8 pm ET.
