    Just watching x-factor now. Are the singers using backing tracks that were recorded earlier on in the week? I find it hard to believe they are really singing live unassisted. Something just dosn't look or sound right about it... :confused:

    Oh they definitely are, it's quite obvious with some of them.
    Did you see them butchering 'Bohemian Rhapsody'? That was all either mimed or they had their live vocals turned down really low. Even Brian May mimed his guitar solo, for some bizarre reason.

    Allegedly the group song on the results show is ALWAYS mimed/with a backing track.
    The "livr performances" on the Saturday night are not mimed however.

    Thats what I heard from a friends aunt, whose second cousins grannys, grandson is going out with a sound engineer on the show.

    LOL
    I'm sure I have head backing tracks on so called live performance. This is probably most obvious with John and Edward since they jump around so much they sometimes forget to lip sync some of the words.
