Bryan noted that due to safety precautions, he and the other judges couldn't reach out to offer crying contestants a hug or put his arms around them to show them support, and that makes it quite difficult to connect.

The ABC singing competition recently made headlines during its 7th episode when one of the contestants named Funke Lagoke
