Just in case you're wondering, one of the earlier versions can be seen here (with Johnny's twirl): -

Dont you think its strange that they already had Amelia and James in the ad last week, and now one of them could be returning?

Not in the version I saw during Grand Designs tonight. Little Mix have got the extra line, and it's them singing it.

EDIT: No, I'm wrong. It IS The Risk!

By the way, the still frame of Frankie in the group shot appeared in the original version. Have a look at the YouTube link above. Maybe he wasn't available for some reason when they did the group shot.

EDIT 2: I'm wrong again! The version on page 2 shows him on the front row of the group shot. Maybe they've re-framed it (he was on the end) and put a still of him at the back so that he's less prominent. But that still doesn't explain the existence of the original advert (with Frankie featured) with the new group shot. How many versions of this advert are about??

What they need to do is get them ALL to record the whole song, that way they sing all the lines themselves. Divide the singers beforehand so that they can be recorded on seperate channels on a mixing desk.

As people get eliminated they can just literally mix and match the voices so that the singers they want to keep stay and the ones they want gone are gone.

They may want to consider recording group members on seperate tracks as well in case single members drop out or get changed too.

The same principle applies for the visual part, just cut out the close ups of eliminated acts and in the group shots just litterally "black" them out, they're standing against a black background aren't they? So just merge the plain black over them to remove them from view, in a professional way of course.

This way the footage can be easily edited at will and there will be no nasty or "humorous" blunders.

Don't really care who sings what. Just wondering why the contestants look so much better in the ad. Sack the stylists.

Sounds like they are all on autotune.

I hate this advert, i'd rather see Twiggy than these no hopers.
