Miss SC had fewer obvious technique issues but I wasn't a fan of the arrangement.

This probably isn't taboo for the Miss America Pageant since I've noticed it previously during talent competition, but did Miss South Carolina use a pre-taped overlay of piano music while she played? I was hearing piano-played notes she wasn't even hitting during her performance.
And what is the name for that performance technique--making the judges believe you are playing ALL the piano notes they hear when some of it is actually overlaid piano music playing in the background with the orchestra.
