They feature the contestants in the episode a lot more on Idol. So you become far more invested in them and you want to see that person succeed. Where as on the voice yeah they do have packages but ultimately most of the casuals aren't voting for a contestant they are voting for a coach's team so their attachment is transferred to the coach instead contestant.
But if you aren’t already following Idol itself on social media, you aren’t going to see any of that.
ETA: I just checked and the Voice FB page has more likes and followers than the Idol FB page.
If you are just tuning into the 2 (or 3) hour program, what are you getting that’s different between the two shows?
Guys, Vota is a duo. Bryan is vocals, guitar and bass. The other guy is keyboard and drums. 🙂 https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/the-story-behind-the-christian-rock-band-vota-featuring-the-voice-hopeful-bryan-olesen/ar-BB1jkABy
I personally would appreciate the leak to be someone from the Playoff Pass. I would love to see Bryan or Madison because I feel they were two of my favorites but they haven’t had their “‘moment yet.” I would have initially thought Nadege but with the comments we have from her performance I don’t see the show leaking someone who didn’t perform as well so close to the lives. Karen’s KO performance put her on my radar. I hope they don’t give her popular country fluff and she can really dig in to the vocals.
