Just read this in the Mad Cher article in the Mirror
Harry Styles, 17, from One Direction, has lost his voice and may have to mime tonight.
:D

I thought that aswell
erm, have you actually been watching the competition?;)
Yes. Care to elaborate?
Oh well, I'm guessing Matt and Mary will be doing the same.:rolleyes:
Yes I'm sure they have been watching the competition, doesn't look like you have.;)
erm, maybe you need to turn the volume on your tv up?
Well the 1D boys have kind of half sang so far, mostly singing along to a particularly loud pre-recorded track. Miming is a less generous way of describing it. On the occasions when the two members of the band who can kind of sing a bit step out and kind of sing, it's piss weak. Basically they mime some of the time and that's when they're not sick.
I'm sure they finished every single song they sang.
Can you prove that? I think that's a pretty unfair accusation to make. Although I know that 98 % of the X Factor is fixed and manufactured, I haven't noticed anything to suggest that ANY acts have been miming. When Rebecca, Matt or Mary have been note perfect, have they been accused of miming? One Direction aren't note perfect by any means (they're also not "piss weak"), they struggle with harmonies and let their nerves get the better of their voices on many occasions, so I don't see why you'd assume they were miming.
Oh this is DS. They hate 1D and have been going on about miming from week 1!! I do admit in the begining they have had some very loud backing tracks but no more than other contestants but no one has mentioned that!
That'll be a first then. :rolleyes:
Incidentally, does anyone know how this works? If he has lost his voice and mimes I assume any solo part he has will be given to someone else, and he'll just mime along to the chorus, or do they record rehearsal tracks just in case?
1D have always mimed, so I'm not sure we will notice any difference tonight. 1D could all be sick, plonk some tailor's dummies on the stage, play the pre-recorded track and they would STILL come out with the usual flashcard cliche's and go through to next week! Simon would bang on about it being the performance of the series, and how relevant it was. Biffa would say how they totally smashed it, and are reet little pop stars. Louis would toe the party line and beg for votes, and Dannii would say something along the lines of you were slightly wobly in the second chorus, but I liked it.
Watch 1D singing "Kids in America" on Youtube. There's a part of which Zain was supposed to be singing but he seems to forgot it was his turn to sing, hence coming in late. You can hear his voice although you can't see his mouth moving.
They struggle with harmonising and they sound good only because they have backing tracks. See Liam's and the boys' audition and you can tell their voice is average (or below average). Harry sounds better than others but that's not really saying much.
This is just bull. It's the DS way to keep repeating something untl it is a certified DS fact.I doesn't make it true.
Another certified DS fact. Zain came in a micro second late and it was Harry's voice you could hear.
If you insist.
However, the miming comments are not limited to DS. It's a general belief I'm afraid.
