I haven't seen them sing live once since they competed on X Factor. It's quite pathetic really, even Miley Cyrus gave a good live performance on BGT the other night, with plenty of dancing.

Thing is though, neither JLS or their management care about them actually singing, or how bad their songs are - all they care about is that most of their fans will buy any crap they put out because it has their name on it, and as long as they continue with the silly dancing and lifting of their shirts the fans will go crazy about it.

They must be absolutely laughing at their fans behind their back for buying into it.
i'm a fan of them. i buy their music cos i like their style. when i was in the front row for their concert in belfast at the end of february i was probably the only girl who wasnt crying/screaming at them. they must have thought i wasnt a proper fan.

its a disgrace they dont sing live though.

I never liked JLS on X-Factor because I didnt think they were good singers, so Im not surprised they mime all the time now. Look back at some of their X-Factor performances when they were singing live, they were really off key a lot of the time. I was surprised they got as far as they did! Im sure they're all lovely guys and well done on their success, but I just dont rate their singing at all. They sound better miming, lol!

Are they for real? I actually really like the single ( ) but I cannot believe that they came on to the stage and mimed throughout the whole song. Did they actually come second in a SINGING competition?
It seems that the bigger & more successful artists are, the less they actually sing live on shows like this.

Just watched it. Shocking. :sleep: Shameful..

So, why exactly didn't they sing live?

Miley danced her arse off and she still sang live. I can't believe JLS have reduced me to defending Miley Cyrus!!

I honestly can't stand JLS. I do so hope they fade away in 2/3 years time.

Exactly. They weren't all that on XF in the first place, so it's not surprising they mime now.

Not that that is an excuse.

I liked them in X Factor but I can't stand them now they mime on everything and then the BGT judges stand up for them. They can sing as shown in X Factor so why don't they? And they only are around pretty much cause of their looks and teenage girl fanbase and I don't even really fancy them tbh.

I was ashamed to be British last night, it was an stupid performance. The nights before we had Alicia and Miley who both did fantastic performances and then JLS come on and mime the whole song. Big let down Simon Cowell! I know they are talented (even though I cant stand them) So why the hell were they miming? Its just stupid.
Well Pixie Lott saved the British talent as she gave a brilliant performance with choreography (though not much of it!). JLS have the ability to sing live and I've seen them, they are quite good. So why can't they do it all the time?! Argh

I know, Leeah I know!

But their teenie bopper fans (as in the "OMG ASTON IS SO PENG, INIT!!" fans..not the normal ones who actually like a few of their songs) are relentless. They don't care whether or not they sound good, as long as they keep taking their shirts off and winking at the camera, they'll be sticking around for a while yet :sleep:

Eugh..

Usher showed them how it's done on last night's show - fantastic live singing and great dancing, with effortless charm and swagger.

Paloma faith is under the same record label as JLS and its soooo ridiculous that she isnt getting tv slots like they are...Paloma sounds even better live and wrote everysingle song on her album including all the b-sides....boils my blood.

Its also annoying how smug they are....im gona get attacked for saying that but to me when I watch them they seem so smug.

I hate JLS as much as i hate JASON DERULO.

But even I can't see why they can't sing, they can't say they don't want to harm there voices because they done a lot of performncaes because GaGa has been around the world touring for at least a year and has not mimed once
Gaga did mime, on her tours she mimed 'Telephone'.
Jason Derulo can sing very well and he always sings live, did you not see him at Radio 1 Big Weekend and in the Radio 1 Live Lounge this week?

I absolutely HATE it when supposed 'singers' do not sing live and instead mime to a backing track, or whatever. It enrages me. Why should we call them singers if they don't do that? It's like calling someone a writer even though they've never written anything in their life.

All singers should SING, live! Unless you're being thrust through the air at rapid speeds and tipped upside down every few seconds, there is no excuse for it. It's just laziness and it also makes me mad when Cowell and co give these people standing ovations and gushing praise for it.

If the singer can sing live, and sing well, then there is no need to mime. I cant accept anyone who does this.

Does anyone else not care that they didn't sing live and are far more preoccupied with how awful the song is?

No... no matter how many times I put the two together, it will never make any sense. I thought these guys were great on The X Factor - in an ideal world they would've been able to sell based on good music alone - but they've completely sold out and they're too stupid to realise it.

I didnt see the performance but if they mimed that's a disgrace. Even Cheryl sang part of her song live on XF (I think) and Miley Cyrus gave a good live performance live the other night.

they obviously had a backing track, but otherwise i'm pretty sure they did sing live, it sounded diff to the actual track (well the verses anyway)...

Cheryl's "live" FFTL sounds different to the album version too, but that's still mimed

Though, still that is no excuse. They will never be able to recreate that song live anyway - it makes me wonder why they bother recording them?!
You can put effects on microphones the same way you can other electric instruments.
