Why Were the Judges So Soft in Season 2?

Honestly, I don’t get all the hate for Latto. To me, all three judges in season two were way too soft on the contestants. We only heard real critiques during the auditions, after that it was all ‘You fire! You dope!’. There weren’t any real constructive critiques.

In season one, the judges were much tougher (sometimes too tough), but this season they didn’t even call out pitch issues, offbeats or weak lyrics.

I think this approach, combined with the absence of celebrity mentors in the early stages, reallyheld back the growth for most of the rappers, but that's on all the judges, even the guest ones, for following the same pattern.
