Recyling footage

Does anybody else notice the random bits of footage which are recycled on the show?

For example, I noticed this on yesterday's show, which I found really strange:

Michael Lewis audition @2:55
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTa9tGha6Nk

Sophie Habibis @:28
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS9v9KyKFxE

I actually thought Louis's reaction was really funny in the first one, especially followed by the crazy girls dancing in the back of the auditorium. Now I find it less funny since it looks like it was taken from Sophie's audition haha.

... Okay, just watched it again. It's still funny. :D

    What about the 1, 2, 3, YES! for John yesterday? I'm sure they showed that for someone else a few weeks ago

    I think they've done it more than once. If I recall correctly, the other time it was done, Tulisa was wearing that pink dress, but she wasn't with John.

    I'm pretty sure that was shown in one of the end-of-episode previews... was it also in someone's audition? Bring out the evidence people, let's show producers that they can't try and pull a fast one on us!

    It was also shown after someone's audition too. But Tyjet might be right about them doing it more than once.

    I know they did it last year in the Dublin auditions because Katy Perry used to say a lot and sometimes they just wanted a yes. :p

    However, one that has always annoyed me was Treyc Cohen last year getting Liam's negative feedback from Simon Cowell at bootcamp! :mad:

    anybody who doesnt realise that the show is heavily edited to give the impression the producers want must be very nieve, its done on most of these shows but X factor is by far the first, its almost like a pantomime with shots of audience and judges reaction tagged onto whatever person audition wether its standing ovation ( strangely in most cases eg theatre, orchestras etc are given when they have performed brilliantly for an hour and everone is showing their appreciation but on x factor they stand up and appluade after 2 minutes of someone doing a karaoke job on someone elses song - easily impressed me thinks) or judges jaws dropping open as if they had never heard a bad singer before - yawn- this old format is just dull dull dull now

    haha it's funny... you wonder where the expression came from?!
    Was it actually reaction to Sophie's audition? If so, which brilliant producer said "you know what, that expression would work perfectly in the crazy Michael Jackson impersonator's audition!" They should put together a behind-the-scenes documentary on the production of this show :)
