Cheryl Cole slammed for 'mimed' Voice performance

Cheryl Cole's 'live' performance on The Voice UK this weekend has been widely criticised after many believed she mimed new single 'Call My Name' on the show.

The star had promised to perform live on the TV show, which hunts for a star on the strength of their voice alone, but following her performance tonight (26 May, 2012), Cheryl's vocals were called into question.

'Cheryl cole is such a pleb- your mic isn't on darling as you've just mimed...such a let down- as normal! Can't stand her," said one viewer on Twitter.

"How could a show about the voice have Cheryl Cole - she can't sing! Disappointed with the shows conviction," said another.

Another added: "Clever move by the BBC. By putting Cheryl Cole on before #eurovision, all the entrants look outstandingly good."

The performance was the first time Cheryl has performed the Calvin Harris-produced track on TV. Watch the performance below - and see if you think she was miming or not...
