Jelly Roll has a very big secret that he finally shared with everyone. On January 20, 2026, a famous show called Star Search is returning to Netflix. This show once featured stars like Beyoncé when they were kids. Now the man who sang Save Me is a judge, and he wants to change how TV works.
The singer looks directly into the camera and says, “The fans are the real bosses.” He does not want the judges to have all the power this time. He wants people at home to use their phones to pick the winner while the show is live. Jelly Roll believes that normal people know what a real star looks like better than Hollywood.

Fans are already talking about how much they love this new idea. One viewer said they are happy the show is finally being honest. Another person wrote that they feel like they are part of the team now. People like that their vote counts right away, rather than waiting a long time for a result.
This live show is a huge deal for Netflix because it is their first big move into live voting. It is a new chapter for talent shows where everything is real, and nothing is fake. Jelly Roll is the perfect guy to lead this because he knows what it is like to be ignored by the big bosses.
