They do not get judged together.

It did make me consider the fact that, if they were singing during the group performances, one performer might try to ad-lib, change up the song, or attempt and outdo their opponents.

I like the fact that they have one song to perform and be judged upon – I don’t see the need for the group songs in the first place.

I don’t watch the show regularly, but I always assumed everything would be live. As you mentioned these individuals are training to be in the spotlight, on stage…why wouldn’t they be singing live. If America is supposed to be voting for this that they like, they should be seeing the real performance…not the taped one. If this is the case the contestants should pre-record everything. I am sure a lot of people would sound good if they had time to prepare. What a rip-off!
