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). -- TV or Not TV ....
