I love that this show gives an opportunity to new artist as well as seasoned artists to share their new songs with us. We can fall in love with some for the first time or fall in love again with others. One thing that bothered me was that someone long time famous is competing against an unknown and that feels off balance.. but when you consider some new comers have millions of followers then it helps to level the field and I guess the ones that don't at least get their music heard. I dont like them showing who is in the lead and who is behind but I like that there is a big panel of judges as well as America voting because it makes it a little more fair.
