I agree it plays like that, but I don't think that's the case; the acts
have a specific time limit, so they can't be heavily editing them unless
they get more than one shot at the performance. I think it's just
really bad editing. I also don't believe those inserts of close ups of
gap mouthed kids are genuine; they're set up and/or shot at another time.
If they MUST do the audience inserts, at least stick 'em in an insert
box in the corner of the screen or something.

Yeah, I'm suspicious of that one too.
