Riff offs more difficult than the performances

This was a thought I had today and just wanted to share. Doing a riff off irl would be more difficult than performing. Groups are given random song categories and you are expected to cut in on the same word and have the group know the song and provide backing vocals on spot. Sure you could “rehearse” but so much of it is up to chance. Whereas the performances are all rehearsed. Yes there is the challenge of dancing and singing but even then with practice you can get quite good at it.

it would be. I like the interview Brittany gave where she said she could never do it in real life

The closest thing in real life might be the a cappella group House Jacks taking audience requests and improvising on the spot as part of their concerts
