The pick-up news comes a day after Idol favourite
Caleb Kennedy quit the show after a video featuring him seated next to a guy dressed like a white supremacist Ku Klux Klan member surfaced on Snapchat.
Plus, Mega Mentor Snoop Dogg helps ring in the round with the show s coaches and competitors.
But is it any more fierce because itâs Season 20? âI donât think weâre more competitive,â John admits. âI think weâre always going to be competitive with each other, but we always have a lot of fun with each other as well. Itâs part of the charm of the show that the coaches compete with each other, but weâre all friends and we love spending time with each other.â
âHonestly, we do this more for these artists,â John shares. âItâs about them. Itâs about them getting a chance to shine. We already get the shine in our own careers and we want to see these artists do the most that they can with this opportunity.â
