As always, it was a really hard decision to choose the final 10, but we are thrilled to announce the finalists. It’s going to be an incredible year. We look forward to working with all artists and we cannot wait to see who our viewers crown as the winner for 2022.”

I still can't believe that I was the winner of 2021, it still feels surreal. There's a lot of unbelievable talent in the 2022 running - may the best person win!”
