X Factor - Lip Syncing
So you're sitting there watching the incredible production that is the X Factor, and while immersed in the drama of this so called vocal competition you think to yourself, "Wait a minute, are they lip syncing?"
Yes, they are. And it's shameful, childish, and embarrassing to reality television. X Factor should be ashamed of running a vocal competition only to put those hopefuls out there like puppets for a dog and pony show with fake animals.
For some reason, during group numbers and many other performances they have the contestants sing in the studio, and use all the studio trickery in the world to optimize their voice, and then play it back on TV while they act like they are singing live.
Come on X Factor, loose the tracks, loose the lip syncing, and replace the host while you're at it. The rest of the show's content and production is way too top notch to stoop to such ridiculousness like lip syncing.
