I will admit to watching this show [excuseology deleted] and this was
painfully obvious. The only question mark was, did Bell make a mistake in
not starting on time (it did not seem like it) or did they somehow start
his track too soon. But as the link notes, it is also painfully obvious
that American Idol contestants are lip synching on those atrocious opening
group numbers, even when there aren't any technical difficulties. I don't
think the snarky comment at the end of the article is justified, as there
is not any evidence that contestants are lip synching during the
competitive portions of the show (though my goodness are these X Factor
performances horribly overproduced).
