The camera work has always been bad; especially in the auditions. As far back as Jackie Evancho I remember being annoyed how much the camera moved to the judges or audience reactions (and for too long). Half of the allotted time is not on the contestants. Even during ventriloquist acts when it's important to see the contestants. Also, the high level shots are useless. Additionally, judging has become unfair since Simon became a judge. Only singers get second chances. The last episode a young singer got three chances to sing but a female comedian who flubbed some lines didn't even get a second chance. How does this make a fair competition? It does not. Everyone or no one should get second chances.
