This mimed stuff IMO is crap, all of it. I don't care who it is or what
the circumstance. I don't care if whoever can't do their dance steps
etc... without miming to prerecorded vocals, etc..

This kind of stuff has always irked me. American Bandstand was ok for
that. I heard Ed Sullivan would never allow it and kudos to him for
having ethics in this matter.
