The X Factor US: Season 1 - SEASON OVER!
TexasLady:
I love that this show is different than AI but something is bothering me. I just don't believe that what we hear as auditions in front of each of the 4 judges are what they heard when it happened. I'm thinking they were professionally redone in a studio setting.
I also love the various homes of our judges but I think I spent more time looking at the gorgeous scenery in each setting than I should have. :)
However, I'm looking forward to the reveal of the four from each group tomorrow night.
Prophet:
If it's true it is a bit odd but I guess it doesn't matter because the judges are judging on what they hear. Maybe the sound on those outdoor auditions was no good for TV and they had to try something else.

TexasLady, I think the answer is simple. These are recordings made from the mics held by the singer and set up on the piano. They digitally go direct into the appropriate equipment. That is why there is no sound from the surroundings. Also, the "homes" are far away from major alternate noise sources. L.A. Reid has the sound of the ocean in the Hamptons which has somehow been taken out of the mix.
It is easy to set up a few speakers aimed directly at the judges.
TexasLady:
It could be just as you say apskip. :) I did a little research, they could either use the live accompaniment or a recorded track. I wasn't thinking of background noise but there must have been some production work done on the songs.
One of the girls not mentioned in Apskip's list is Drew Ryniewicz, I believe she is 14 but can sing up a storm. I also liked the Brewer Boys, I could see them being a hit with the teenage girls. I also like Dexter as over the top as he is, he's an entertainer. One other I like is Caitlin Koch, if she had auditioned on AI, she'd be in the top 6. There are a lot of strong performers in the girls and over 30 women.

Prophet,
I too liked Drew, Caitlin, The Brewer Boys (who in particular disappointed me as they were one of my favorites) and Dexter in previous rounds. However, they just did not come to the top of the charts in the Judges Home Round. We'll see what those judges decided soon enough.
