Jason Mraz has criticised televised singing contests like American Idol, saying it's the producers are the "real winners".
Speaking ahead of the show's finale this weekend, the I'm Yours singer, 45, urged people not to skip the steps of playing in coffee shops in their bid for success.
In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Jason opened up about his experience on the show as a guest singer in 2019, saying he was made to feel "terrible" during his performance despite having been a huge success in the industry for 20 years.
