Fergie

The Four is this new singing competition show. Okay. And the premise is we start with the best, the four best. And on those seats, they have their own seats with rings around them. Each week, challengers come on to try to dethrone one of the four. But they have to perform first and impress our panel in order to get a chance to move on to get that challenge. And our panel is DJ Khaled, Sean Diddy Combs, Meghan Trainor. I'm up there with these challengers and you hear their stories and you just really fall in love with them and I'm kind of like I'm like the mommy up there. I'm like the mother, if you will. So I I'm up there and I'm really I'm an artist too. So I've been there and so I'm up there, you know, with when the panel gives a tough commentary, I really feel I really catch feelings with these these artists around me whether it be one of the four defending their seat or whether it be a challenger that's just come on and really blown us all away. And it's it's very exciting. We
