The Idol contestants have certainly leaned into the at-home aspect of things, with many contestants singing on their back porches or in front of makeshift sets.
American Idol also tried to jazz things up by cutting in the show’s studio musicians and backup singers, though I personally felt they leaned on that a bit too much.
I know it’s a lot to ask for uniformity given the situation, but some people definitely tried a lot harder than others to look cool.
It’s interesting, though some weren’t doing anything more than singing in their living room.
