“The judges’ job is to shape the contestants into artists who can have an international impact, which explains the seemingly strict approach,” he stated.
The award-winning crooner emphasised that competitors can still succeed in spite of the judges’ comments, so they should have confidence in themselves and not let the competition’s result deter them.
