Is a work experience guy directing the camera shots tonight?

These extra long close ups on Louis and Simon are so awkward ...lol

I'm sure when they've shown the judges in past years it's just been a quick shot .. but you can tell that both Louis and Simon realised that the camera was on them for too long and gave them a really uncomfortable sideways glance ...lol

They always know the cameras are on them. Don't think for a second that their reactions during a performance are candid. They(especially Simon) know that the audience is expecting them to react somehow.

Hi guys -wave- noticed that too, which isn't usual so early in the game, and maybe Louis and Si's acts are the one which will get somewhere. Or Si and Louis paid the Cam man extra. lol! I don't mind that much though as it was interesting to see Si react so strongly in a clip, then turn his head and the cam went back to the singer.

Oh yes I know that the judges know that the camera's are going to be on them during the performance .. it will be scripted into the show ... I meant that you could tell that they were wondering why the heck the camera was on them for so long so were struggling to hold thier "reaction" for the length of time of the shot so it just looked awkward

Louis seemed to turn and look at the camera directly at one point as if to say "are you still on me?" ...lol
