Sometimes one of the judges doesn't like the song they chose and ask them to do a last minute change and play a back up song. It happened in the last show, Simon didn't like the chosen song and said have you got another. The singer waved off stage to whoever was hitting play on the CD and ask them to play track 6.
You were honestly taken in by all that? :lol:

Mike Stock on BBC Breakfast this morning admitted that they used to have hardware in the studio that tuned singers' voices.

And the more I think about it, the worse this gets. Even though the public is not voting at this stage, the fact that they could get the impression someone is better than they are will affect the voting at the later stages. If the programme had any credibility in the first place, it's lost it.

Not the fact they had it, more the extent to which it was being used...

None tonight, they've dumped it.

Man it must have been a nightmare to go and remove all of that live autotune in post production!

I reckon it's a toss-up whether they thought better of using Autotune, or thought better of putting people through to the next stage who are bad enough to need it.

It was all prerecorded months ago, too late to change the line-up because of last weeks controversy, they'll already have filmed the boot camp stage at least.
