The competition continues to advance, and it’s time for the new contestants of American Idol Season 22 to perform in the live episodes, which will begin in just a few days and will continue until the grand finale of the reality show.
The judges (who receive a hefty salary) won’t be the only ones helping the artists overcome their fears and give their best on stage. During Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Week, there will be a special guest.
Two iconic stars will take on the role of mega mentor, which was previously handled by Grammy winners Tori Kelly and Jelly Roll. Next, the Billboard #1 Hits Night will take place, where another singer will be invited as a mentor.
