That was not mimed. It was simply a great vocal and Cheryl Cole could learn a thing or two from him.

I'm not a fan of him or the song ... but to be fair you could hear his backing singers

It's easy to tell when they mime, you just have to pay attention to their microphone.
Shayne started off live, in the first verse he pulled the mic. away from his mouth a mere moment before he stopped singing and you could hear the change in volume.
I think he was miming to a pre-recorded chorus, or a very loud backing track swamped over his voice. At one point he took the mic. away from his mouth and you could still hear him singing (final chorus), that tells us that it was either a pre-recording, a loud backing track, or the backup singers.

Choruses are almost always mimed in pop songs.

Both shayne and kylie sang live and both performed well although from personnel bias Kylie was bloody brilliant, Kylie always sings well live and i always think she doesnt get enough credit for it.

I dont think shayne would risk miming considering he won the show, plus he has no reason to mime as like him or hate him he can sing.

He sang live throughout but with the chorus' he was singing along to a backing track. He's an amazing singer.

I honestly thought he was miming, but if he wasn't then wow, fantastic live vocal!

You'd have to be a bit thick though not to be able to see that Kylie was singing live over backing.

I don't think he mimed, he sang live and the backing track had his vocals on it too. Kylie did the same.

Miming or not, the song was crap and the performance was dull... he just stood there.

i thought maybe he was miming, but my wife who sings, and is generally pretty good on the whole miming thing, was pretty certain he was singing live, and it was just the live backing singers we were hearing over him, rather than a pre recorded vocal.

EVERYONE mimes on the X-Factor performances, at least to quite a high degree anyway.....why on earth would Shane be any different? I mean Kylie mimed, and we all know she doesn't have to !

I was rather surprised to see that he basically stood there with a mic (and mimed) throughout the whole 'performance' though - I was certainly expecting a bit more of a show!!!

The irony is that people like Shayne who can sing, mimes, yet people like Katy Perry who was terrible live sang... live.

Bon Jovi were 100% live (although I admit the finalists were miming their part )

It seemed pretty obvious to me he was singing live. Gave a great vocal aswell.

Thought he sounded a bit petrified standing on that tall cube .That prop didn't quite have the desired effect really did it.It was always going to be difficult for Shayne to appear 'larger than life' as he hasn't particularly got the strongest (more resonant) voices.
