More on the logistics:

- Carson Daly will host the live rounds from a soundstage without a live audience in front of the iconic red "Voice" chairs.

- The four coaches will remote in from their home locations to provide artist feedback.

Kelly Clarkson will broadcast from her ranch in Montana, Blake Shelton from his home in Oklahoma and Nick Jonas and John Legend from their homes in Los Angeles.

· The Top 17 artists will perform for America's vote from 17 different towns across the country. They will take viewers into their homes and other meaningful locations to showcase their originality and connect with audiences.

Viewers will see the preparation process that goes into each performance.

- Leading up to the Top 17 performance show, the coaches held remote mentoring sessions with their artists to plan all musical elements including song selection, vocals and arrangement.

During this process, the artists were provided with wardrobe as well as guidance on choreography and art direction to enhance their home performances.

Additionally, artists received production kits with state-of-the-art camera and audio equipment to capture their performances.

IdolsSA? Lol would they afford to do this

Lol, I was thinking the same qavile! - on both counts.

Idols desperately needs something new and this would do the trick.

They hardly ever leave that studio during the live shows and this would force them to.

I've always wanted to get a proper perspective on where the finalists come from and what their lives are like because it's a reality show first and foremost. This would do it - if the production isn't too controlling and allows it be more authentic.

PS: I reckon they could find the money to do it. Profits wouldn't be as high but I'm sure they'd survive.

They could also get the equipment sponsored for the round the country performances - just so long as they don't shove it in our faces every two seconds.
