I always hear this deafening squeal from the audience, but when they show the audience, people are just mildly clapping.
Pre-recorded squeals?
It would not surprise me that they have pre-recorded squeals! Remember all those fake faces we had to do in the audience of America’s Got Talent. “OK, everyone look like you were seeing the grossest thing ever on stage!” And their cameras pan around. “Next, guys, pretend the cutest little child or puppy act is performing!” Etc.
Guess what, Jonny? My son says he gets AmIdol ticket offers all the time! He just never told me because they come in as emails: idol tickets if you get here one hour from now. And he says they don’t come in at convenient times for him. I told him, tell me next time - I’d like to go once before they close down the show!
