I've probably said this before but I wish they'd change up the background music a bit. I feel like every series has the same bank of 'inspirational' tracks from The Greatest Showman or whatever. I'm already awaiting the inevitable montage of acts getting ready to come to their audition while Get Ready or similar plays in the background. As I'm typing they're playing You're My Best Friend by Queen which I feel like I only ever hear once a year on this show.

I've noticed that some of the songs seem to be sound-a-like versions and not the originals. In particular at one point Firework was playing but it didn't sound like Katy Perry's vocals. I wonder why that would be?

Either a) they couldn’t get clearance for the original, or b) the cover artist is signed to Simon’s record label.
