Laine Hardy, the winner of 'American Idol,' has openly confessed about the most challenging aspect of the show. It is widely known that televised singing competitions, such as American Idol, can be extremely demanding for the participants. Most of these contestants are young and inexperienced individuals in the music industry.
During a recent interview with a local radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Laine Hardy, the winner of American Idol's 17th season in 2019, discussed the challenges that come with sudden fame and entering the music industry. However, he also expressed his belief that the most challenging aspect of being on American Idol is something different.
According to Hardy, the most challenging, yet rewarding aspect, would be departing from home and venturing into unfamiliar territory. He shares that stepping outside of his comfort zone was a significant factor. Hardy auditioned for Idol at the age of 17, and remarkably won the competition before he even turned 20.
According to Hardy in the interview, he mentions that the interviews conducted by Idol producers were extremely demanding, involving extended periods of time being filmed. He made an effort to genuinely express himself during these discussions.
He remembers spending hours in a day sitting behind the camera, talking to people and asking them questions. During those times, he would simply speak his mind and be himself as much as possible.
After appearing on Idol, Hardy has gained valuable experiences and insights into the challenges and rewards of being in the public eye. In April 2022, the singer faced legal trouble when he was arrested and accused by his former girlfriend of secretly placing a recording device in her college dorm room. He was charged with Interception and Disclosure of Wire, Electronic or Oral communication.
He managed to escape imprisonment for the accusations, but during that period, he declared that he would be separating from his record label.
Based on Hardy's latest post on social media, he is currently focusing on his upcoming musical endeavors and drawing inspiration and solace from his faith. In his June 2023 social media update, he subtly suggested that he has new songs in the works. During an interview this week, he reaffirmed his intentions to release new music in the near future.
