‘The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart’ Preview
ABC is taking the typical Bachelor/ette format and tweaking it to put 23 singles in a mansion and let them vie for each other’s hearts while simultaneously trying to make beautiful music together in order to potentially launch their careers in the music industry.
ABC’s press release for The Bachelor Presents Listen to Your Heart promises that the six-episode special event scores “musical highs and love woes” and it showcases “top musical and celebrity judges and guests, along with Bachelor Nation favorites, who will appraise the couples’ musical and romantic chemistry.”
The musical stars include Jason Mraz, Kesha, Toni Braxton, Andy Grammer, Pat Monahan, Ashlee Simpson-Ross, Evan Ross, Rita Wilson, Jewel, and Taye Diggs. Additional musical celebrity appearances and performances include The Plain White Tees, John Alagia, Valentine in the Morning, Marty and Elayne, Chris Lane and Shaggy. Bachelor Nation favorites JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers, Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo, Arie and Lauren Luyendyk Jr., and Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick will also make appearances.
The format will also follow what Bachelor fans are used to, at least at first. In the premiere episode, the men outnumber the women, so the women eventually hold a rose ceremony and send four gentlemen packing. Next week, new women will be introduced and the same thing will happen there. After that, presumably, everyone will be paired off and it’ll be time to find the best duet.
“Contestants will be talented musicians and people whose lives and work revolve around music. It’s an attempt to capture, I think, what we all know, which is that love and emotion and music are inextricably intertwined and how people find each other through songwriting. That kind of storytelling and singing is really the thrust of the show,” ABC president Karey Burke told Heavy at the 2020 Television Critics Association winter press tour.
We’ve seen the first episode and we think Bachelor Nation is going to love this show. It has all the drama that we’ve grown accustomed to from this TV franchise, plus a killer soundtrack and some very talented individuals.
It’s also nice that this show puts some more people into the pool for potential cast members for The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and the summer and winter games, if they are held again. So get ready, Bachelor Nation. This is going to be a fun ride.
The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
