American Idol Season 23: Artists rely on the audience votes, which everyone should needs to take a moment and reflect on
American Idol Season 23, with the Top 3 finalists, is headed towards an exciting finale. Until then, the audience can vote for their favorite artists and help them win the reality show. However, while voting, everyone should keep in mind that it should be done based on the singing skills.
As the fans have already witnessed, each of the artists on the ABC reality show has worked very hard to reach this final stage of the competition. Voting based on their voice, singing, and singing styles should be the priority, and not the cuteness, religion, city/ place, gender, color of the skin, or any other factors.
Many fans have also noticed talented artists getting eliminated from the American Idol Season 23. Some of them took their concerns to the social media platform X and urged the audience to vote on the basis of singing skills, rather than anything else.
A fan, regarding the voting, wrote on X:
"Even the judges had a WITF moment that #gabbysamone isn't still in this competition. #AmericanIdol voting has once upseted me. All 3 judges had even scooted from the table in disbelief. People PLEASE VOTE on TALENT, not b/c of city, state, or infatuation."
One more fan commented about the voting based on "popularity and looks":
"I knew when he got to the top 10 that the tween girl vote would win again! Your next idol is going to be John! Congratulations America for again voting mostly on popularity and looks as opposed to vocal talent in a singing contest! #Idol #AmericanIdol."
Throughout the current season of American Idol Season 23, with each elimination, many fans go through such situations after their favorite artists have been sent home. It happens because some people vote not based on the talent, but while considering other factors.
Such additional factors including popularity of an artist, belonging to a particular city, and looks should not be taken into consideration while voting. It is a singing reality show, which should be judged solely on the basis of the voice and the talent artist have in their singing.
While it is merely a vote for us, the artists who have been on the show since the beginning and worked hard, each vote means a lot more to them.
ABC now streams the latest American Idol Season 23 Episode 18, which revealed the Top 3 finalists.
