Sheeran joins the likes of Taylor Swift and Snoop Dogg, who have both served as “The Voice” mega mentors in the past.
Some ‘American Idol’ Alums Auditioned
According to the Idol Forums, there are at least three “American Idol” alums who were able to make it onto “The Voice” this season.
First, Jeremy Rosado auditioned. He has auditioned for “American Idol” four times, but in season 11, he made it all the way through to the top 13. Now, he’s trying his hand at making it on “The Voice.” It’s not clear how far he makes it into the competition this time around.
Next, season 18 top 20 “American Idol” finisher Raquel Trinidad auditioned for “The Voice,” the forum says. Trinidad was cut by the judges during her time on Idol.
Finally, Alex Lambert was seen auditioning for season 21 of “The Voice.” The top 16 finisher on Idol was a fan-favorite, and he was even cast in a streaming reality show called “I Can Dream” following his time on Idol. According to the forums, however, it does not appear he made it onto “The Voice” this time around, as he was not seen on set after his Blind Audition.
