Songland arguably delivers the least glitz, glamor, and spectacle of any competition show, but it just officially became my favorite with Ben Platt’s episode.
Spoilers ahead for Ben Platt’s big episode of Songland Season 2 on NBC.
That said, Songland is a different kind of competition show, with performances happening without throngs of screaming fans, new winners being announced on a weekly basis, and the prize going to a writer rather than a performer.
The second round of Songland has guaranteed that prirmetime isn’t out of music-based competition TV despite The Voice, American Idol, and even The Bachelor: Listen To Your Heart already wrapping for the season.
