ABC’s American Idol Season 22 is here, and fans are excited to watch Lionel Richie , Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan take the stage as the judges. The three judges have built a rapport with each other through the years. However, Showbiz Cheat Sheet’s body language expert noticed that Richie shows “contempt” when disagreeing with the other judges.
Here’s what he does. Lionel Richie shows ‘contempt’ toward the other ‘American Idol’ Season 22 judges, according to a body language expert Lionel Richie is a fan-favorite judge on American Idol Season 22, and fans look forward to hearing his feedback. The 74-year-old joined the show in 2018 and has grown accustomed to working alongside country superstar Luke Bryan and pop sensation Katy Perry.
However, Showbiz Cheat Sheet’s body language expert, Darren Stanton, explained how Richie shows “contempt” when disagreeing with the other judges. Stanton explained that the human face can show seven emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, contempt, disgust, and surprise. “I’ve noticed that when Lionel Richie disagrees with the decision that the other two judges have made, he will flash contempt.
This gives us a great insight into what his inner emotion is.” Fans can see a split second of this reaction in Richie following Jack Blocker’s audition. Bryan voted for Blocker to move forward to Hollywood, but Richie and Perry voted against it.
After Blocker was sent out of the room, Bryan was appalled that the judges did.
