American Idol‘s Hollywood Week returns March 23 as the remaining hopefuls battle it out via solo performances.
While highlighting their vocals, the contestants will also have to acclimate themselves to working with a band and standing in the spotlight. Judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan are previewing the special round of the competition with this exclusive clip from the episode.
“With the solo round, for the first time they’re out there with the band,” Bryan says. “It really puts a clear image of what they’re gonna be when they’re a star.”
And there’s plenty of worthy performers this season to fill that star role. Richie can’t agree more with Bryan’s sentiments, as he gushes about the solo rounds.
