When it comes to people and their passions, everyone has different levels and layers. Just because a person’s career is predetermined does not mean that their likes and interests are. While pursuing a career based on your talents or interests may not always be possible, this should never deter a person from pursuing their passion. This idea holds true for the contestants on ‘Alter Ego,’ as it allows them to be their authentic selves. With Alanis Morissette, Nick Lachey, Grimes, and will.i.am.
