I personally have no problem with a band or singer miming if the performance is not advertised as live, and as long as the performance is enjoyable. I saw the Britney Spears concert that was supposed to be mimed. I don't know if it was, but I enjoyed the performance anyway. I paid to be entertained, and was, so I was happy.

I also have no problems with what they do on TOTP, not because I agree with them miming or anything, simply that I don't watch it.

Edit: Someone mentioned Pop idol winners, well, I haven't heard him live, but I don't think Will Young mimes when performing..
