Anyone else think it would be better with a live band like they have on American Idol? The backing tracks sound tacky and old fashioned. Its harder to sing with a band and we would get a good idea of who really are the best singer.

I agree. It sounds too Karaoke. They ruined eurovision by taking away the orchestra for backing tracks

They used to have one back on Pop Idol and the X Factor is always better on big band night when they have a band in the studio.

Its just Cowell being a tight wad.

Personally I prefer it without a live band because it sounds more like a studio recording then.

But proper recording artists sound better with a band.

it would modernise and revitalise the show having a live band like Idol imo
